Do you want to contribute to the development of knowledge, insight and solutions that are relevant to society and working life today and in the future? We are looking for a PhD research fellow within Systems Engineering. Why do companies still end up doing engineering on site during commissioning – even when they have built most of the systems themselves? Find the root causes and change how complex systems come together. About the position Do you want to change how complex systems come together – so that integration happens early, not during commissioning? Join us as a PhD research fellow at the Department of Science and Industry Systems, campus Kongsberg. Start: May 2027 (at the latest August 2027). You will be part of SFI CELECT – the Centre for Effective Engineering and Learning in Complex Systems – whose vision is to do more with less, and faster. The centre, funded by the Research Council of Norway, brings together Norway's leading industrial companies and 30 PhD candidates across USN, NTNU and the University of Agder. Industrial cases will be selected among CELECT partners such as Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, Kongsberg Maritime, Forsvarsmateriell, the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), Nammo, Knightec Group, Fylkeskommuner (Buskerud, Vestfold, Telemark), Kongsberg kommune, Sirkulære Rjukan, and Herøya industry park and others. You will also join the Industrial Research School in Complex Systems (INRESCOS). The position is a three-year educational position with pure organised research training. A four-year appointment with 25 % career-advancing work may be considered. You must apply for and be admitted to the doctoral programme in Technology (Systems Engineering) within three months of starting. The programme includes courses of about six months (30 ECTS), an independent thesis, research dissemination, a trial lecture and a public defence. Your workplace will be shared between campus Kongsberg and one or several CELECT partner companies. Dependin
