Imagine being part of a team that creates new engine solutions for a sustainable future, where your work will consist of improving fuel efficiency and reduce CO2, NOx and particulate emissions. Now, imagine doing this in one of the leading companies within automotive in combination with one of the leading universities... Volvo Group Trucks Technology is collaborating with Chalmers University, and we are now looking for our next PhD Candidate!

About the position
This is an opportunity for an industrial PhD candidate position with employment at Volvo GTT. In this position you will be engaged in research on injector technologies, spray formation and combustion for Heavy Duty Diesel engines. You will, under a four year period, be leading doctoral studies as a PhD candidate in a project within the CERC (Combustion Engine Research Center) Competence Center at Chalmers. The work will be well connected to the advanced engineering program at Volvo preparing for products in the 2025-2030 time frame. After completed project and hopefully a PhD degree, the position is adopted for the internal Volvo needs.

The position is located in the Combustion group within Powertrain Strategic Development department. The team is responsible for bringing forth and analyzing new engine solutions and associated technologies with focus on thermodynamics, combustion and alternative fuels. The research project will to a large extent be performed at the division of Combustion at the Department of Applied Mechanics, Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. You will have a working place at Chalmers and take part of department activities.

The project
We are faced by the challenges to further improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2, NOx and particulate emissions. This includes further improvement of the Diesel engine, adaption and optimization for new truck and powertrain concepts, including hybrid drivelines, and the development of alternative fuels technologies.
Collaboration has been established between Chalmers, Volvo and the fuel injector manufacturer Delphi in the UK. Both the Chalmers high pressure/high temperature spray chamber and the Volvo D13 single-cylinder engine will be essential tools in this research and state of the art prototypes will be available.

The project will have links to other projects at Chalmers, e.g. projects on spray and combustion modelling, and also be an integrated part of the internal advanced engineering work at Volvo.

Doesn't this sound like an amazing opportunity? We're looking forward to reviewing your application!
