Project description
This position is within the field of industrial digitalisation applied on sustainable production. You will focus specifically on data analysis and decision support to facilitate sustainable production. You will develop advanced approaches for environmental impact assessments and absolute sustainability of industrial systems, exploiting digital tools (such as digital twins and industrial IoT) to support the combined analysis of environmental data and production data. Environmental metrics and initiatives are often treated in isolation and not connected to design, planning and optimisation activities. Thus a better integration between environmental management and operations management is essential to ensure sustainable industrial development. Accordingly, the research will be anchored in a manufacturing setting with industrial collaborators, with the intent to create a direct impact on practice.
Major responsibilities
Your PhD studies will be done in collaboration with industry. We always work in research teams and collaboration may involve other research groups, nationally and internationally. Of your work, 80% will be research, including the courses required to obtain a PhD. Additional work tasks involve e.g. teaching, supervision of MSc students, and department duties. You are expected to complete the PhD degree in 4 years, which may be extended to a maximum of 5 years when including 20% teaching tasks
Your main tasks as a PhD student are to:
• Contribute to research projects
• Study PhD courses
• Publish research results in scientific journals and at international scientific conferences
• Teach in courses within the scope of Production Systems
• Develop your pedagogic and teaching skills and develop a personal pedagogical portfolio
Qualifications
The position requires a Master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits. For instance in mechanical engineering, production engineering, industrial design engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, software engineering or similar, with a thesis project corresponding to at least half a year of study. Courses and/or a Master thesis projects in the areas mentioned above or other areas of direct relevance for the research are meritorious.
We look for PhD students with a strong motivation and engagement; cooperative mindsets; analytical skills; communication skills; and a passion for combining theory and practice to contribute to the sustainable development of industry/society. We expect the applicants to be quality conscious, ethical, and have the ambition to take on responsibility to work independently and in collaboration with both academic and industrial partners towards set goals. The positions require full proficiency in English. You will also need to acquire Swedish proficiency within 2 years. Experience from multi-stakeholder interactions and industry experience are meritorious.
