PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Industrial Engineering and Management
The subject area Industrial Engineering and Management deals with design, strategy, planning and control, development, and economic evaluation of industrial operations. The research is concerned with problem areas in the interface between technology/engineering and business management/economics. It aims at integrating both perspectives by using methods and principles from one area and modifying and applying it to the other. This is done by applying mathematical methods from the engineering sciences on problems in business and economics, and by using managerial and economic analysis and principles to study problems of technical nature and assessment of technical alternatives. The area is multidisciplinary and covers issues of strategic as well as operational nature within all types of industries.
The announced position is for research studies in the area of Supply Chain Management and Logistics. The position is funded by a grant from Vinnova for a joint research project with Volvo Group titled AI-enabled management of omnichannel distribution systems. The research will focus on developing new mathematical models and methods for managing multi-echelon omnichannel distribution systems that can leverage AI-based demand forecasts and optimize total system performance. The goal is to improve the resource efficiency in Volvo’s global distribution system. An important motivation for the research is to exploit new opportunities for managing sustainable supply chain systems offered by recent developments in information technology, where concepts such as digitalization, Big Data, Machine Learning and AI play a central role.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Energy Sciences with a focus on hydrogen combustion engines
This project focuses on hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines, which have the potential to combine energy efficiency and climate neutrality with zero CO2 emissions. In addition to reducing the future heavy demand for batteries in the transport sector, these engines could become particularly important for achieving climate goals in long-distance, heavy-duty transport, which is difficult to electrify.
The project’s aim is to investigate flow and mixing phenomena in spark-ignited, direct-injected hydrogen engines and their impact on ignition and combustion processes. The mixing process of air and hydrogen is fundamental to achieving high efficiency without the occurrence of knocking. The research will be conducted using available heavy duty research engines, enabling traditional engine testing as well as in-depth analysis of combustion processes inside the cylinder through high-speed imaging and other optical techniques. Additional tools, such as flow simulations (CFD), will also be utilized.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Aerosol Technology with Focus on airborne emissions from recycled materials for construction
Aerosols are mixtures of gases and particles, where the air we breathe is a common example. Exposure to aerosol particles (measured as PM2.5) is today the largest environmental risk factor in Europe. Workplace exposure is also a significant risk factor, where risks associated with the dusting from secondary use of unbound materials are foreseen to increase in the transition to a circular economy.
In a circular economy, waste streams and residual materials must be utilized to replace primary raw materials. In the coming years Sweden aims to go from 5% of the recycled materials in our products to 95%. This rapid transition will result in new risks of emissions to the air from potentially polluted waste streams – both for occupational exposure (exposure of workers) and for the uncontrolled spread of toxic substances into the outer environment.

PhD position summary/title: Marie Curie – PhD student to research group Experimental Oncology
We subscribe to the view that a tumour should be considered as a communicating organ in its own right, comprising multiple cell types that collectively evolve into a clinically manifested and deadly disease. Our overarching aim is to functionally define the cellular elements of a tumour. In the current project, microniches orchestrated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) will be divulged and interrogated for function during metastatic dissemination. By a refinement of current state-of-the-art technologies, our studies enable inferences about molecular interactions between specialised cell types in confined cellular niches. With a unique map of microenvironmental niches as a backdrop, the project will confront previously unresolved questions in tumour biology by: 1) Defining the dynamic changes in the tumour architecture manifested in the composition of CAF microniches at different phases of tumorigenesis, from initiation to distant spread, and in the face of treatment, 2) Identifying precision drug targets based on CAF microniches to prevent cancer dissemination and drug resistance and 3) Discovering biomarkers from CAF microniches for improved diagnostication of cancer.

PhD position summary/title: Doktoral student in astronomy
One of the most elusive questions in modern astronomy has finally become tractable – the origin of the thick disk in the Milky Way. The presence of a thick disk matters because it tells us about the dynamical history of the galaxy. The existence of thick stellar disks in addition to a thin stellar disk is ubiquitous in the local Universe. Several potential formation channels for thick disks have been suggested. A number of major blocking points have inhibited progress in differentiating between these different channels. To make advances we need to make use of observational data to test the models. We will take advantage of the astrometric data from ESA’s Gaia satellite in combination with spectroscopic data emerging from ground-breaking stellar surveys SDSS-V, 4MOST and WEAVE to understand the formation of the thick disk.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student focussed on methane fluxes from forests and their impact on the global atmosphere
This project will aim to improve understanding of the methane (CH4) carbon budget through a combination of new measurement and modelling work. CH4 is emitted from a variety of sources and processes, balanced by chemical destruction in the troposphere, stratosphere, and through processes controlled by soil and plant microbes (lifetime of ~10 years). Although anthropogenic emissions have been a clear driver of the rising atmospheric concentration, changes in the rate of atmospheric growth are not understood, which ultimately hampers predictions on future scenarios of this potent greenhouse gas and its impact on climate over the next decades and century.

About Lund University, Scania, Sweden – Official Website
Lund University is a prestigious university in Sweden and one of northern Europe’s oldest universities. The university is located in the city of Lund in the province of Scania, Sweden. It traces its roots back to 1425, when a Franciscan studium generale was founded in Lund. After Sweden won Scania from Denmark in the 1658 Treaty of Roskilde, the university was officially founded in 1666 on the location of the old studium generale next to Lund Cathedral.
Lund University has nine faculties, with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 40,000 students in 270 different programmes and 1,300 freestanding courses. The university has some 600 partner universities in nearly 70 countries and it belongs to the League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network. Lund University is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities.
Two major facilities for materials research are in Lund University: MAX IV, a synchrotron radiation laboratory – inaugurated in June 2016, and European Spallation Source (ESS), a new European facility that will provide up to 100 times brighter neutron beams than existing facilities today, to be opened in 2023.
The university centers on the Lundagård park adjacent to the Lund Cathedral, with various departments spread in different locations in town, but mostly concentrated in a belt stretching north from the park connecting to the university hospital area and continuing out to the northeastern periphery of the town, where one finds the large campus of the Faculty of Engineering.
