The Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) was established in Trondheim in 1910, shortly after the country had gained its independence from Sweden. The establishment of NTH coincided with the beginning of large-scale industry in Norway, and expectations were high as to what the Institute could contribute in terms of competence to establish new industries. Its professors were expected to be not just teachers or academics, but also to be involved in projects with industry. Consultancy was one way of exercising authority in relevant areas, and to acquire experience with industrial projects. Historical accounts about NTH often mention that its professors were consultants for industry, but what this entailed is rarely discussed. In this paper, I will investigate how two chemistry professors, appointed around 1910, formed their roles as consultants: Peder Farup, who experimented with the pigment titanium white for the successful company Elektrokemisk (now Elkem) in the 1910s; and Sigval Schmidt-Nielsen, who became the country’s authority on nutrition, and served both the state and the margarine industry as a consultant from World War I into the 1930s. I will argue that both Farup and Schmidt-Nielsen created “hybrid careers,” using a concept introduced by Eda Kranaki in 1992.

1910-1930 年在挪威理工学院任化学教授，担任顾问

挪威理工学院 (NTH) 于 1910 年在特隆赫姆成立，当时该国从瑞典独立后不久。NTH 的成立恰逢挪威大规模工业的开始，人们对研究所在建立新工业的能力方面可以做出贡献的期望很高。它的教授不仅是教师或学者，还要参与工业项目。咨询是在相关领域行使权力和获得工业项目经验的一种方式。关于 NTH 的历史记载经常提到它的教授是工业顾问，但很少讨论这意味着什么。在本文中，我将调查 1910 年左右任命的两位化学教授如何形成他们的顾问角色：Peder Farup，他在 1910 年代为成功的 Elektrokemisk（现为 Elkem）公司试验钛白颜料；Sigval Schmidt-Nielsen 成为该国营养方面的权威，从第一次世界大战到 1930 年代，他一直担任国家和人造黄油行业的顾问。我认为 Farup 和 Schmidt-Nielsen 都使用 Eda Kranaki 在 1992 年引入的概念创造了“混合职业”。
