About the Norwegian Centre for Embodied AI (NCEI)

This PhD position is connected to the Norwegian Centre for Embodied AI (NCEI), a new national AI centre led by NTNU. 

NCEI advances research on how intelligence emerges from the interaction between body, computation, and environment, across aerial, ground, and aquatic robotic systems. 

The PhD candidate will be part of a broader, cross-sector collaboration spanning universities, research institutes, industry and public-sector partners, contributing to NCEI’s ambition to establish new scientific and operational foundations for embodied AI and robotics. 

About the project

Robotics is undergoing a revolution in physical intelligence. Running parallel to this revolution is an urgent need to address robust human oversight and high-level remote control. This places an emphasis on coordination and command as one or more humans form a team with one or more robots. This also raises questions for usability, trustworthiness, safety, reliability, and transparency as a core design values of robotic intelligence.

The PhD candidate will seek tangible contributions to the following question: 
In safety- and time-critical missions, how can humans team up with intelligent, semi-autonomous robots as or more efficiently and effectively than they can with fellow humans?

Shedding light on this question will contribute to an expected tipping point in robotics, where robots graduate from mere tools to teammates.

The PhD candidate is expected to apply methods in human-centred design (HCD) to one or more real cases of embodied intelligence among the consortium partners in NCEI. This will involve defining the context of use, defining end-user requirements and design specifications, developing tangible prototypes, and evaluating these prototypes in terms of team performance and system usability. To this aim, the PhD candidate is expected to:

• establish why and how HCD can be applied for embodied AI
• work with one or more developed platforms from the project consortium (underwater, waterborne, or aerial robots)
• build and test innovative solutions to support human–robot teams
• combine systematic, qualitative, and quantitative methodologies in user evaluation of these designs

The PhD candidate is also expected to participate as a judge for usability and transparency during two robotics competitions (“Grand Challenges”) hosted by NCEI. The PhD candidate will have access to existing robotics platforms through the consortium, as well as research infrastructure for usability testing and remote operations at the NTNU Shore Control Lab.

About the position

The position is a 3-year doctoral research fellowship starting in 2026. The PhD candidate will be embedded in the research activities of SFI FAST centre related to forming processes and will work closely with NTNU, SINTEF, and leading international industrial partners in the aluminium value chain (Hydro, Benteler Automotive, Raufoss Technology, Speira, Raufoss Aluminium, Renault, Honda). 

This PhD position focuses on aluminium extrusion of profiles using aluminium of high recycled content. The use of post-consumer scrap (PCS) in structural components (e.g. for automotive applications) is expected to increase with growing sustainability demands. 

Understanding microstructure evolution during extrusion is critical for controlling final mechanical properties and surface appearance of extruded profiles, yet quantitative predictions remain challenging due to the complexity of deformation mechanisms and recrystallization processes. The project will focus on understanding and modelling the microstructure evolution during extrusion, with particular emphasis on crystallographic texture formation – both deformation and recrystallization – and its gradients across the cross-section of extruded profiles. The candidate will study what influence various thermo-mechanical treatments have on final microstructure.

The research will address the role of intermetallic particles, commonly present in scrap-based alloys, in influencing recrystallization mechanisms and texture formation through particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) and grain boundary pinning effects. The work will include extrusion experiments, advanced material characterization (LOM, SEM, EBSD etc.), and use and further development of crystal plasticity models. Profiles of varying complexity will be studied. The candidate will establish and validate numerical simulations, collaborate with industrial partners, and demonstrate results through relevant industrial use-cases.

The candidate will work in collaboration with industrial partners and needs to be responsible for reporting progress and delivering outputs to the FAST Centre.

Your immediate leader will be the Head of Department.

About SFI FAST – Future Aluminium Structures

SFI FAST (Future Aluminium Structures) is a national Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) funded by the Research Council of Norway and the aluminium industry. The centre is led by NTNU in close collaboration with SINTEF and a broad consortium of 16 leading industrial partners across the aluminium value chain. FAST runs from 2026 to 2033 and represents one of Norway’s most ambitious long-term research initiatives within aluminium materials, manufacturing technologies, and circular economy.

The primary objective of FAST is to establish the scientific and technological knowledge base required to enable the large-scale use of post-consumer scrap (PCS) aluminium in high-value, structural, and safety-critical products. FAST adopts a through-scale and through-process research methodology, integrating materials science, manufacturing processes, product and structural design, and lifecycle performance.

A key outcome of FAST is the development of the FAST Virtual Lab, a digital framework combining experimental data, physics-based models, and data-driven methods to support design, manufacturing, and decision-making across aluminium value chains.

About the position

We are searching for a creative, skilled, and ambitious candidate for our activities on nonlinear and hybrid integrated photonics to carry out experimental research towards realizing hybrid integrated high power tunable lasers and electro-optical frequency combs.

The advancement of laser, optical amplifier, and advanced photonic integrated light source technology is a cornerstone for the application of optics and photonics in a manifold of research and technology fields ranging from optical fiber communications, metrology, environmental and medical sensing and imaging, and for applications in fundamental sciences such as laser spectroscopy. The hybrid integration of III-V gain media with low-loss photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has recently enabled integrated lasers with faster tuning and lower phase noise than the best legacy systems, including fiber lasers. In addition, lithium niobate and tantalate on insulator (LN(T)OI) PICs have enabled to exploit the Pockels effect to demonstrate self-injection locked hybrid lasers with tuning rates reaching peta-hertz per second[1]. However, Pockels-tunable laser archetypes relying on high-Q optical microresonators have thus far only achieved limited output powers, are difficult to operate and stabilize due to the dynamics of self-injection locking, and require many analog control parameters. A new generation of laser systems based on shallow optical gratings simplifies operation and increased performance of such lasers systems [2]. 

The objective of the project is the development of high-power hybrid integration concepts and thin film lithium niobate and lithium tantalate photonic integrated circuits to serve as photonic integrated pump lasers for traveling-wave nonlinear waveguide devices. Such lasers will need to reach continuous-wave output powers beyond 1 W for applications such as long-distance LiDAR and fiber sensing and in particular as pump lasers for nonlinear photonic devices such as optical parametric amplifiers and entangled photon pair light sources.

The candidate will report to the Head of the Nanoelectronics and Photonics group. The supervisor for this position is Associate Professor Johann Riemensberger.

About the project

The purpose of this project is to identify where in Norway we have road sections that are, and will be in the future, particularly at risk due to extreme weather events. These critical places may be road sections where road maintenance and road protection should be carried out. 

A prevailing perception of risk is that this is a combination of probability and consequence. However, IPCC has a different framework for risk where risk is a combination of hazard, vulnerability and exposure. In the latest report, a fourth component was also added: inadequate response. These four determinants influence the level of risk: if one or more of these four determinants increase – risk increases, but if one or more of these decreases, then risk decreases. Because of climate change, the hazard component, and thus the risk, is increasing.

The four risk determinants vary geographically and can be represented and analyzed using geographic information systems (GIS). The PhD project should develop methods based on spatial indicators used to assess current and future climate risks. The IPCC's risk framework is suitable to be operationalized with spatial indicators so that one can identify where the road sections most at risk are, as well as a profile for why these road sections are at risk – is it because of high values for the hazard indicators and/or a combination of vulnerability/exposure/response indicators? Which road sections will be exposed to risk in the future may be different road sections than those that are at risk today – since the climate of the future will be different, but also because the society of the future will be different. For example, how will future traffic volume be, given population projections made by Statistics Norway and scenarios for future industry structure developed by MENON?

The PhD project will be carried out in collaboration with partners in the Norwegian Centre for Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation (Noradapt) such as SINTEF and Western Norway Research Institute, and the Norwegian Road Administration.

Duties of the position

• Complete the doctoral education until obtaining a doctorate

TMC Nordic is looking for an ambitious and visionary Head of Brands, Nordic to take full ownership of a growing portfolio of niche fragrances and premium beauty brands — and to lead a talented Brand Marketing team with clarity, energy and strong commercial direction.

This position is ideal for a Senior Brand Manager or Brand Lead ready to step into a broader leadership role with full responsibility for brand strategy, portfolio performance and team development.

Your Responsibilities

In this role, you will take end‑to‑end ownership of a dynamic and diverse brand portfolio. You will work closely with international brand owners to ensure long‑term alignment on strategy, commercial priorities and future growth — and you will be responsible for driving each brand’s success across the Nordic markets.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Leading the creation of best‑in‑class commercial and marketing plans, covering product launches, trade activation, pricing, assortment, digital strategy and PR

• Translating brand owners’ expectations and strategic direction into actionable commercial plans tailored for the Nordics

• Identifying new business opportunities and turning insights into clear tactical initiatives

• Managing budgets and monitoring performance through ongoing reviews of spend, sell‑in/sell‑out data, brand P&Ls, sales forecasts and market trends

• Taking overall responsibility for Nordic brand performance, including budgeting and profitability, to ensure sustainable growth

• Acting as the primary point of contact for brand owners and building strong, trust‑based partnerships

• Collaborating closely with internal and external stakeholders across all markets to secure seamless execution and strong commercial results

What You Bring

• 2–3 years of experience in a similar commercial marketing or brand role

• A hands‑on marketer who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and can manage multiple projects with attention to detail

• A relevant higher education degree (HA, HD, cand.merc or similar)

• Fluency in Danish and English (knowledge of another Nordic language is an advantage)

• Strong analytical and strategic abilities, with the talent to turn insights into meaningful action

• Solid proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel

• A genuine passion for branding, marketing and premium beauty

• A structured, solution‑oriented and proactive mindset — and a collaborative personality that values teamwork and shared success

What We Offer

We offer an exciting, high‑impact role in a fast‑growing organisation guided by Passion, Relations and Results.

You’ll join a dynamic and informal environment where ideas are welcomed, responsibility is encouraged, and you have real influence on your workday.

You will also get the opportunity to work with some of the most iconic niche and prestige fragrance brands in the market — and play a key part in shaping their success across the Nordics.

Why TMC Nordic?

TMC Nordic is a leading Nordic distributor of cosmetics within the niche and luxury segment.

We are partly privately owned and partly owned by the German Nobilis Group and the Gebr. Heinemann Group — and we are entering an exciting expansion phase in the Nordic region.

We offer a work environment where ambition, collaboration and transparency are central values. Here, you will have the opportunity to grow your skills, take meaningful responsibility, and thrive in a company that values diversity, individuality and personal development.

Our headquarters are located in Søborg, with local sales offices in Sweden and Norway.

Across the organisation, we are more than 70 dedicated employees who share a passion for bringing innovative beauty brands and exclusive niche fragrances to Nordic consumers.
