Knowledge development in a changing world – Science and technology towards 2030.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

Job description

Our planet formed 4.567 billion years ago and as it cooled down, it became differentiated into layers. The lighter outermost layer became the continental crust and the first continents were probably formed in the Archean, but their extent and geographical distribution are still unknown. The transition period from a magnesium- rich upper continental crust to a magnesium-poor upper continental crust occurred between 3 and 2.5 billion years ago, and may have set the scene for the formation of living matter that required subaerial land masses. It is therefore crucial to determine when, where, and also the extent of continental masses in order to assess the habitability conditions of early Earth. Direct evidences of these conditions are sparse, but one can use them to test various models of continental crust extent which were geo-chemically derived. The aim of this project is to construct the paleogeography of Early Earth at selected time intervals during the time of transition between the Early Earth tectonic mode (stagnant or sluggish lid) to plate tectonics.

The Ph.D candidate, will carry out some or all of these research in collaboration with PHAB scientists: 

• Assess and model the distribution of land and oceans and the nature and extent of proto-plate boundaries by taking into account conceptual tectonic regimes. 
• Review existing Archean/Early Proterozoic (~3.5-2.2 Ga) paleomagnetic data to build paleogeographic reconstructions
• Construct Earth’s paleogeography based on possible tectonic scenarios and available geological record together with knowledge of Early Earth atmosphere and planetary parameters for its habitable environments.

The Ph.D candidate will work closely with Carmen Gaina, Clint Contrad, Trond Torsvik, Mathew Domeier and other PHAB scientists.

Job description

Deciphering the planetary rock record to derive planetary evolution is the goal of this project. Water is defined as a crucial ingredient for habitable environments because it is a solvent and facilitates geological processes, chemical reactions and it could modulate climate conditions. On Earth it is present ubiquitously on the surface, while Mars shows clear morphological and mineralogical evidence that once liquid surface water existed. Even for the Earth’s moon recent observations indicate the presence of hydration and water features. What made Earth keep its water, why did Mars lose lots of its water and turned into an icy desert and what is the source of lunar hydration features? What could be the role of water in the surface-interior interactions, do we expect complex deep volatile cycles for Mars? Changes in the Earth’s atmosphere and climate are stored in the terrestrial rock record and the diversification and distribution of igneous and aqueous minerals on other planetary bodies similarly could document the evolution of environmental conditions on these objects. 

A successful candidate wants to explore evidence and fate of water on terrestrial planetary objects from the surface mineralogy and morphology. This requires remote sensing using multi-wavelength spectral methods, identification of relevant analogue settings among terrestrial rocks and potentially numerical and/or physical experiments on weathering and water-rock interactions. 

The candidate will work closely with Stephanie C. WernerAgata M. Krzesinska and other PHAB scientists.

The main purpose of a postdoctoral fellowship is to provide the candidates with enhanced skills to pursue a scientific top position within or beyond academia. To promote a strategic career path, all postdoctoral research fellows are required to submit a professional development plan no later than one month after commencement of the postdoctoral period.

Knowledge development in a changing world – Science and technology towards 2030.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

Job description

The position is attached to the Section for Statistics and Data Science (https://www.mn.uio.no/math/english/research/groups/statistics-data-science/index.html) at the Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo (UiO). This section consists of eight full time academic positions, nine adjunct positions and many PhD-students and postdocs, making up a group of more than 30. Statistics at UiO is internationally recognized and is a major part of a recently funded centre-of-excellence (INTEGREAT). INTEGREAT, which has a focus on knowledge driven machine-learning, is funded from the Research Council of Norway (RCN) for ten years, and will include a large number of PhDs and postdocs.

The successful applicant will join the new interdisciplinary research project “PLUMBIN’: Developing solvents for unclogging the calculational bottleneck in high-energy physics” (https://www.mn.uio.no/fysikk/english/research/projects/plumbin/index.html), which was recently financed by the RCN (2022-2029). This project is a collaboration between members of the Section for Statistics and Data Science, and the Section for Theoretical Physics at the Department of Physics, and aims at making powerful computational tools for exploring the fundamental constituents of the Universe.

The announced doctoral fellowship position will focus on investigating the properties of classical and higher-order asymptotic inferential tools in the non-regular settings related to the search for new particles in the high-energy physics framework. In such settings, the likelihood is not directly associated with the distribution of a random variable, but it is computed by combining different pieces of likelihood, not necessarily independent to each other and related to experiments different in their nature. The presence of many nuisance parameters complicates the situation. As a result, the coverage of the confidence intervals based on the classical likelihood ratio test may be far from the nominal one. Modifications of the likelihood and corrections to the likelihood ratio test must be investigated and adapted to the specific context.

We would also like to look at the quantification of uncertainty in higher-order quantum field theory calculations in high-energy physics. No prior knowledge of high-energy physics is required.

Qualification requirements

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

• Master’s degree or equivalent in statistics. Master’s degrees in high-energy physics or other quantitative topics are also admissible, as long as a competence in statistics can be shown.
• Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system.
• A solid background in scientific computing, with programming skills in R or Python.
• Fluent oral and written communication skills in English.
• Good communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work independently and in an interdisciplinary research environment.

Other desired qualifications include:

• Familiarity with the asymptotic theory framework.
• Experience with the use of pseudo-likelihoods and composite likelihoods.
• An interest in the application of statistics to high-energy physics problems. 

Candidates without a Master’s degree have until June 30, 2024 to complete the final exam.

Grade requirements:
The norm is as follows:

• The average grade point for courses included in the Bachelor’s degree must be C or better in the Norwegian educational system
• The average grade point for courses included in the Master’s degree must be B or better in the Norwegian educational system
• The Master’s thesis must have the grade B or better in the Norwegian educational system
