Applies for all scholarships: PhD candidates are normally engaged for three years, with a possible extension to 4 years with 25% assistant teaching duties at the cooperating University Departments in accordance with individual agreements. The teaching duties are primarily associated with ordinary graduate and undergraduate courses, and are normally assigned with a proportionally larger share in the first half of the period of engagement.

NTNU would like to increase the number of females in academic positions. Women are therefore especially encouraged to apply. The Public Sector employees shall as far as possible reflect the diversity in the population. Therefore, it is a personnel policy goal to obtain a balanced mix of age and gender, and to recruit persons with immigrant background. Persons with immigrant background are encouraged to apply.

This amounts to an annual gross salary of NOK 310 500 - 418 200. The student will be liable to pay personal income tax in Norway. There is a compulsory deduction of 2% for the State Pension Fund.
