hela Sverige Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefit. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of nearly SEK 2,1 billion per year. We currently have 1,900 employees and 18,700 students.
In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.Luleå University of Technology is, as one of five Swedish universities, part of the Swedish National Battery Initiative, COMPEL. One of the specializations of the Luleå University of Technology node is process physics with a special emphasis on operation and production, an area in which we currently have an open position for an associate lecturer. The position is fully funded for the first three years. As this is a critical recruitment, we are looking broadly for good candidates that are in the right position in their career and are aiming for an academic career in research. The core of the experimental research utilizes X-ray technologies, primarily tomography but diffraction and spectral techniques are also of relevance. At Luleå University of Technology, we have access to a good experimental research infrastructure and good contacts with MAX IV, the Swedish synchrotron facility, facilities that will be made available for the candidate. This position may be subject to security clearance in accordance with the Swedish Security Protection Act (Säkerhetsskyddslagen 2018:585).
