För att utforma och testa datadriva affärsmodeller kopplat till värdekedjan söker vi nu en doktorand inom datavetenskap, informatik, systemvetenskap eller motsvarande.

Ditt uppdrag kommer vara att utforska hur vi bäst kan använda skogsbruksdata utifrån ett samhälls- och hållbarhetsperspektiv och samtidigt skapa nya affärsmöjligheter för medlemmarna i Södra.

Vi söker dig som vill arbeta tvärfunktionellt, brinner för digitala plattformar och ekosystem och samtidigt vill bidra till ett hållbarare samhälle.
