hela Sverige RISE is the Swedish Research Institute and innovation partner. In international collaboration with industry, academia and the public sector, we ensure the competitiveness of the business community and contribute to a sustainable society. Our 2,700 employees support and promote all manners of innovative processes. RISE is an independent, state-owned research institute that offers unique expertise and about 100 testbeds and demonstration facilities, instrumental in future-proofing technologies, products and services.
www.ri.seRISE CBI Betonginstitutet is the leading association in Sweden for applied research on cement-based building materials and components. We work closely together with the construction industry and authorities. Our R&D activities are carried out in both national and international multidisciplinary projects and our main task is to support the Swedish construction industry in innovation, sustainability and safety. We do this by conducting research in many different areas such as in new innovative and sustainable materials and processes and in recycling and reuse of materials which can increase the sustainability and service life of our built environment. RISE CBI also is active in the fields of applied research, consulting in condition assignments and damage control of old structures, concrete testing and investigations as well as in teaching with a total staff number of 75.
About the position
We are looking for a research engineer who will also be a PhD student for research in occupational health. The position is part of a multidisciplinary project mainly financed by the Swedish Transport Administration. The work will be done in collaboration with the Division of Ergonomics at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Systems KTH, which will have the primary responsibility for the supervision of the doctoral student. The doctoral student is expected to carry out studies in ergonomics related to the work-load stresses that concrete workers are exposed to at their workplaces. In particular, the effects from using self-compacting concrete instead of conventional concrete in casting will be evaluated. The latter must be manually compacted, which exposes the worker to vibrations, more noise and often awkward postures. The aim is to evaluate the work environment using these two alternatives. The choice of methodology for the collection and the evaluation of data using different types of measurement techniques will be an essential part of the work. The work will include experimental design, measurement techniques, sensor electronics, project planning and experimental evaluation. The results will be published in scientific journals and at conferences, besides a Thesis. The student is expected to develop skills in all the above-mentioned subjects as well as in concrete materials technology.
The work may also include tasks such as research work in projects related to the PhD or licentiate project as well as participation in proposals for such research projects.
The location of the position is in Stockholm at the RISE CBI Stockholm office. But studies will also be conducted at KTH. We have a well-maintained lab for R&D in the area of concrete and other cement-based materials. As part of RISE we have access to a large number of unique analytical and testing instrumentation as well as to the competence of experts from a wide range of different research areas.
Your profile
You have a Master of Science in occupational health, civil engineering, materials science, engineering of physics or electronics, and industrial management or equivalent. Knowledge in construction materials, mainly concrete, ergonomics and/or in sensor and measurement techniques is a plus. Fluent Swedish in speech and writing is required as well as good knowledge of English in speech and writing. Good communication skills are an advantage as well as an ability to manage, plan and conduct projects.
You as a person
At RISE CBI Betonginstitutet we are a multi-national and multi-cultural team and you thrive in such an environment. You are curious as a person and enjoy tackling new challenges. You prefer to work in a structured and organized way, meeting deadlines early on and like to contribute to the development of our research environment. Since the PhD project will involve many contacts with civil engineering industry it is also an advantage if you have a bold and outgoing character.
