PhD scholarship within Environmental Radiochemistry

About the position

The Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resource Management (MINA) at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) offers a 3‑year PhD position in Environmental Radiochemistry.

Knowledge of radionuclide behaviour in the environment is essential for safe radioactive waste management and minimizing potential impacts. This PhD project aims to improve our understanding of radionuclide transport in engineered and natural environments relevant for nuclear waste management and decommissioning, focusing on the processes controlling transport and retention of redox‑sensitive, potentially mobile radionuclides.

Successful candidates will combine laboratory investigations, radioanalytical techniques, and numerical modelling to advance knowledge of radionuclide behaviour under relevant environmental conditions.

The position is funded by the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre (NNRC). Website:
