We have 5 PhDs available in a project titled "Transforming Citizen
Science for Biodiversity"
(https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/151098/5-phd-positions-transforming-citizen-science-for-biodiversity).
This is part of a larger initiative on Digital Transformation at NTNU
(https://www.ntnu.edu/digital-transformation). Please pass this on to
any students who might be interested in doing a PhD in statistics or
machine learning in Trondheim (or who might be interested in another
aspect of the digital world: there are almost 50 PhD positions available
in the whole programme). Deadline for applications is May 27, 2018
The project is an interdisciplinary research programme that will develop
tools and methods to improve the way that members of the general public
collect data on what they observe in the natural world, and the way this
data is used to inform us about the natural world and how it is
changing. The amount of data being generated and uploaded to databased
such as the Norwegian Artsobservasjoner is massive, and this and the
unsystematic way the data are collected provides challenges when making
inferences from the data. This project will (1) encourage citizens to
collect data, (2) help scientists correctly interpret and use this data,
and (3) provide information back to the citizens about how the data they
have collected is being used.
The project is a collaboration between four departments at NTNU and two
organisations (NINA and Artsdatabanken) that are heavily involved in the
collection and use of citizen science data. Five students will be
employed to work on the following topics:
Tools for a Biodiversity Atlas:

Quality Control in Citizen Science data:
https://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/151324

Transforming Ecology with Citizen Science:

For more information about the project, contact Prof. Bob O'Hara
([email protected])
The candidates are expected to start in the autum 2018.
All 5 successful candidates linked to this project are expected to work
and collaborate closely through the duration of the project. Sharing
knowledge, experience, and research is the key to a successful result.

We have several PhD positions in statistics currently available, if you
know any students interested in doing a PhD in statistics or machine
learning in Trondheim
There are 5 PhDs in statistics and machine learning in three different
exciting projects within NTNUs Digital Transformation initiative,
(https://www.ntnu.edu/digital-transformation). Please pass this on to
