About the position
The Department of Data Science at Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU), within the Faculty of Science and Technology(REALTEK), invites applications for a PhD position in Applied Causal Machine Learning. The position is affiliated with aiD, one of Norway’s national AI research centers focused on trustworthy, data-driven AI systems for critical industries.
The PhD position is for a period of 3 years, with a desired start date of 1st of October 2026.
aiD is a national flagship AI centre established to develop AI systems that humans can audit, understand, and trust. The centre works with applications in domains such as energy systems, health and medicine, logistics, infrastructure, and industrial operations.
The PhD project will focus on the intersection of machine learning, causal inference, and classical statistical methods. A central objective is to develop methods that move beyond correlation-based prediction toward causal reasoning, intervention-aware modelling, and interpretable AI systems. This transition from correlation to causation is considered a key challenge for trustworthy AI, particularly in settings where models support actions, interventions, and high-stakes decision-making.
The candidate will work in an interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment with opportunities for collaboration across academia and industry partners nationally and internationally
Main tasks
