hela Sverige Luleå University of Technology is experiencing strong growth with world leading competence in several areas of research. Our research is conducted in close collaboration with industries such as Bosch, Ericsson, Scania, LKAB, SKF and leading international universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of SEK 1.8 billion per year. We currently have 1,700 employees and 15,100 students.
We shape the future through innovative education and groundbreaking research. Drawing on our location in the Arctic region, we create global societal benefit.
The research group of Waste Science & Technology is looking for a PhD student who would help to develop new methods for and influence the future of waste management and soil remediation.
Waste Science & Technology is a part of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural Resources Engineering, which is an institution with many successful research groups and recognised training programmes. Waste Science & Technology at LTU is ranked among the top ten research groups worldwide in the field.
Subject description
Waste Science and Technology incorporates all stages of society's waste management - generation, collection, treatment and disposal of waste, including reuse and recycling. The research is aimed at the development of tools and processes that facilitate sustainable waste management.
Project description
In this project, we will systematically assess environmental risks that may arise when using tar asphalt in road structures based on PAH spreading and bioavailability. Existing ecotoxicological methods used for risk assessment of soils and sediments will be tested and validated on asphalt and asphalt-affected soils and groundwater.
Duties
The PhD student will follow an individual study plan. Depending on previous knowledge, the education programme is complemented with courses and training of practical skills. Administration and/or lecturing corresponding to max 20% of full time may be added. The project will be implemented in cooperation with the Swedish Transport Administration.
Qualifications
Applicants must have a Master of Science degree in Engineering or Natural Sciences (environmental engineering, chemical engineering, geochemistry, etc.) or equivalent (according to the Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 7 39 §), and very good skills in oral and written communication in English. Advanced knowledge of ecotoxicology, modeling and statistics is an advantage, but is not required. Since the project is to be implemented in collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration, it is also a merit to be able to communicate in oral and written in Swedish.
