PhD Candidate in Digital Sovereignty
- This is NTNUNTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities with headquarters in Trondheim.At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 43,000 students work to create knowledge for a better world.You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application process here. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KHQjc4ndas&t=41sAbout the positionThe central theme of this PhD is to investigate, from a sociotechnical perspective, how Norwegian public-sector agencies and private companies navigate digital sovereignty challenges arising from increasingly centralized and platformized digital infrastructures.As digitalization accelerates, debate has shifted from societal consequences to understanding how organizations become dependent on systems and services they do not control, and how such digital dependencies affect their capacity for independent decision-making. In Europe, these concerns have driven major regulatory developments, notably the EU AI Act and related digital sovereignty initiatives, which introduce risk- and rights-based approaches but often leave underlying digital dependencies unaddressed.Even with clear legal frameworks, the dependencies that Norwegian organizations develop on global platform companies, cloud providers, and proprietary software vendors remain difficult to identify and assess. These dependencies arise not only from technical limitations but also from interactions among algorithms, data flows, platform architectures, workflows, and contracts, leaving organizations unable to switch providers, access their own data, or modify systems without significant cost or disruption.Addressing these challenges requires new expertise, assessment methods, and governance models capable of identifying where power is concentrated and how it might be reconfigured to preserve organizational autonomy and national digital sovereignty. While principles such as transparency, fairness, and accountability are widely endorsed, they offer limited operational guidance for exercising meaningful choice over digital dependencies, creating a gap between sovereignty as a regulatory ideal and sovereignty as practical capacity.This PhD project aims to address this gap by investigating how Norwegian public and private organizations can develop strategies to reconfigure digital dependencies through governance arrangements, architectural alternatives, and collective action to achieve and maintain digital sovereignty. The project will contribute to a growing community of researchers examining digital sovereignty. Its disciplinary home is Information Systems (IS), as the sociotechnical challenges of digital sovereignty require knowledge beyond the technical to unpack the infrastructural, legal, organizational, and ethical dimensions of digital sovereignty in the Norwegian context.As a PhD Candidate, you will work toward your doctorate while gaining experience that qualifies you for a further career in research, in and outside academia. Your immediate leader will be the head of the AIT group. Duties of the positionComplete the doctoral education until obtaining a doctorateCarry out and publish research of good quality within the framework described aboveParticipate in the national research community on digital sovereigntyParticipate in international activities such as conferences and/or research stays at foreign educational institutionsBe prepared for changes to your work duties after employment.Required selection criteriaYou must meet the requirements for admission to the faculty's PhD program in Computer Science, see Section 6-1 of the PhD regulations for more information.You must have a relevant Master's degree in information systems or interdisciplinary background within computing, social sciences, law or equivalent.

In Norway, this loss is estimated to be twice the total profits of the entire agricultural sector. Despite this importance, corrosion research remains dominated by case-specific studies and expert-driven intuition. This project aims to close that gap by generating, extracting and measuring corrosion data into a unified knowledge base. On the digital side, the project will employ natural language processing and AI-driven data extraction to automatically harvest corrosion data from the scientific literature. On the experimental side, it will design and refine electrochemical setups for rapid screening of corrosion rates. Given an existing interest for the university, the work will focus particularly on the electrochemical corrosion of alloys relevant to carbon capture and storage applications.Duties of the positionComplete the doctoral education until obtaining a doctorateCarry out research of good quality within the framework as described aboveAcademic publications and popular science disseminationParticipate in the newly formed research group of Corrosion and Corrosion ProtectionParticipate in international activities such as conferences, workshops and discussionsBe prepared for changes to your work duties after employment.Required selection criteriaYou must meet the requirements for admission to the faculty's Doctoral Programme, see Section 6-1 of the PhD regulations for more informationYou must have a relevant Master's degree in mechanical and industrial engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, and materials science or equivalent.
