Position description
As a PhD student in energy and environmental engineering, you work within the research directions of Future Energy Center and across several research projects on agrivoltaic systems. In most of the research projects, we strive to develop algorithms for modeling and simulating agrivoltaic systems and their associated microclimate. These are developed to investigate the influence of shadows produced by agrivoltaic systems on solar radiation distribution, microclimate, soil moisture and crop productivity. One area of research that we aim to further develop is the use computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques to assess microclimate conditions. Modelling activities will be supported by experiments conducted at our installed agrivoltaic systems where we are actively carrying out research work. You will present and discuss your work and its results with colleagues at the university, at other universities in Sweden and internationally as well as with business partners, both at meetings, seminars, conferences and in scientific journals.
Qualifications
For basic eligibility, the following is required:
• A degree at an advanced level.
• At least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 are at an advanced level.
• Equivalent knowledge acquired in Sweden or abroad through other means.
Specific eligibility requirements include having one of the following:
• Completed a Master of Science in Engineering in a relevant technical field
• Completed a four-year natural science program with technical content equivalent to a Master of Science in Engineering
• Acquired knowledge of substantially the same scope through other means, either within or outside the country.
Assessment criteria
A fundamental assessment criterion is the ability to pursue education at the doctoral level. In addition to this ability, special emphasis will be placed on the ability to write and communicate in English.
