PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Architecture leading to a degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Arts
The Department of Architecture and Built Environment pursues internationally renowned research, teaching, and collaboration, with a focus on the design, planning, and production of built environments. It has a stimulating, international environment with PhD students, postdocs and teachers from around the world. Here, research and education take place in an open and progressive climate, with partnerships across academia and industry, at national and international levels. The work environment is characterized by commitment, collaboration, creativity and personal responsibility.
The Department of Architecture and Built Environment has a strong tradition of integrating both scientific and artistic approaches in architectural education and research and is the first Department in Sweden authorized to award an artistic doctorate in Architecture.
An artistic doctorate emphasizes design-driven processes and artistic exploration as methods of inquiry, bridging academic research and the professional practice of architecture. Research within this framework may follow a Research by Design approach, where designed artefacts generate new insights. Alternatively, the research may draw on the candidate’s own professional experiences, using long-term case studies, or contribute directly to the design process by developing new methods, tools, techniques, or reflecting critically on design methodologies.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Chemical Engineering on membrane processes for storm and rainwater harvesting
The Membrane Group is currently offering a PhD position with a focus on finding sustainable solutions for the treatment of storm- and rainwater. This is a unique opportunity to work with applied research with direct linkages to water utilities and municipalities/cities in the local surroundings with aim to identify next generation’s storm- and rainwater harvesting solution. The membrane technique is seen as a potential method to support a transition towards a more sustainable recirculation and usage of storm- and rainwater.
The Membrane Group is currently installing several stormwater and rainwater harvesting systems using membrane technology in Lund and Malmö.
The aim of this project is to monitor, evaluate, and optimize the installed membrane systems. This includes regular sampling of raw and treated water, monitoring membrane performance and fouling, and initiating and optimizing membrane cleaning procedures. Additionally, new monitoring methods will be evaluated to support the remote operation of the membrane installations. Laboratory tests related to the membrane process—such as cleaning protocols and pre- and post-treatment steps (e.g., PFAS removal)—may also be required to better understand and improve overall system performance.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in theoretical computer science
We invite applications for one to two PhD positions in computational complexity theory. At the heart of computational complexity theory is the quest to understand the nature of efficient computation. What makes a problem computationally hard or easy? How can we show that every algorithm that solves a certain problem must necessarily consume a large amount of resources (such as time or memory, say)? The study of the potential and limits of efficient computation is about foundational, mathematical, research, but research results in computational complexity theory have had major impact in other areas of computer science and other scientific disciplines, and have given rise to some of the most important open problems in modern mathematics. Both PhD students will be financed by WASP – the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – and will be part of its national PhD school. The position also comes with travel funding and the opportunity to spend six months abroad.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Building materials with focus on biobased insulation materials
Biobased building materials can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the construction sector. These materials are hygroscopic, meaning that they exchange moisture from the air which results in heating and cooling as moisture is either absorbed or evaporated. Previous studies have shown that this can be beneficial for the energy performance of buildings. Moreover, the capacity to take up moisture can be favourable in case of temporary moisture loads such as condensation or water leakages.
This PhD project is part of a larger project with the aim of studying and improving the hygrothermal performance of biobased insulation materials. The purpose of the PhD project is to study the hygrothermal performance of existing biobased insulation materials and enhance their energy performance and increase robustness to temporary moisture loads. This will be explored by tailoring the hygrothermal performance of the materials, e.g. their heat release, moisture capacity and sorption kinetics, through tuning the material structure and chemistry by chemical modification.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in physical geography and ecosystem science
The PhD student will carry out research related to the objectives of IM4CA. In particular, this project will employ a wetland CH4 emissions module for the African Tropics and provide bottom-up wetlands emission estimates. As a first step the tropical wetland CH4 emissions module will be developed based on the existing wetlands formulation in the global dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. As a next step, the process parameters of the improved module will be calibrated against local CH4 flux measurements representing tropical biomes. This calibration step will be based on a Bayesian optimisation approach that needs to be refined for this purpose here. The calibrated module will then be used to estimate pan-tropical wetlands CH4 emissions over the recent past.

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.
