PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in industrial electrical engineering with a focus on transport electrification
Industrial electrical engineering focuses on technology and systems for electrical and electromagnetic energy conversion. The subject is interdisciplinary by nature, with strong elements of electromagnetics, power electronics and electronics, materials engineering, electric machine design, automatic control, real time systems, industrial automation and electrical measurements.
Electrification appears currently as the most promising pathway for the decarbonisation of both passenger and goods transport. Local and regional distribution trucks with predictable routes over moderate distances are good candidates for electrification. However, charging of Battery Electric Trucks (BET) may require extensive and costly grid upgrades at the logistic terminals. With bidirectional charging – known as Vehicle2Grid for cars and thus Truck2Grid in this project – BETs become an active resource in the power grid, alleviating the problems with high-power charging and providing additional revenues coupled to arbitrage trading and the provision of system services.
Within this position, the selected candidate will develop tools and models to quantitatively assess the possibilities and consequences of integrating local and regional distribution battery-electric trucks as an active resource in the electric power grid by enabling bidirectional charging (so called Vehicle to Grid), as compared to more rudimentary charging strategies. The assessment will be carried out in terms of available energy and power, both locally at the charging place as well as at a higher level in the power grid. Moreover, the associated costs and revenues of the different solutions will be analysed. To ensure the practical relevance of this work, real operation data logs from several transportation companies in the project will be used in the evaluation.
The selected PhD candidate will be mostly working on the project Truck2Grid: Assessing V2G applications in freight transport, financed by the Swedish Energy Agency.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Building materials with focus on biobased insulation materials
The construction sector is responsible for a large amount of the total greenhouse gas emissions and one way of reducing these are a transition to an increased use of biobased materials. One such example is biobased insulation materials. These materials are hygroscopic, i.e. they can absorb moisture from the air. When a material absorb moisture, heat is released, and previous studies have shown that this is beneficial for a building’s energy performance. The hygroscopic properties can also be beneficial in case of temporary moisture loads.
This PhD-student project is part of a larger project with the aim of studying the function and use of biobased insulation materials. The purpose is both to study existing biobased insulation materials, and how the hygroscopic properties can be tailored to enhance energy performance and increase the robustness to temporary moisture loads. The PhD-student project will focus on the parts in the project that concern tailoring the hygroscopic properties by chemical modification techniques with the aim to enhance energy performance and robustness but also includes parts with characterization of existing insulation materials and applications.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Global Christianity and Interreligious Relations within the project Faith-based Refugee Relief in Europe (FABRIC)
The doctoral position is connected to the project “Faith-Based Refugee Relief in Europe: Connecting the Empirical and the Ethical (FABRIC)”, funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant. FABRIC aims to understand and utilize the moral insights and the moral ideas that faith-based refugee relief organizations develop in practice for the cross-disciplinary debate about the ethics of forced migration in Europe. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) have been at the forefront of the challenge of forced migration, preventing the collapse of the infrastructures of care, combatting racist discourse and religious discrimination. FABRIC brings together empirical analyses and ethical assessments of the refugee relief conducted by FBOs from all three Abrahamic faiths in order to formulate a concept of mobility justice that considers cross-connections between social, racial, and climate justice on regional, national, and global scales.
The doctoral project should address the nexus of religion and migration. Both the theoretical and the methodological approach of the project are open, which means that it can have an ethical focus or an empirical focus or combine both. Proposals that pay attention to Christian-Muslim relations are particularly welcome.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Remote sensing of lake bathymetry and water storage
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
Globally over 100 million lakes hold large volume of Earth’s liquid surface freshwater and provide vital ecosystem services. Understanding lake water storage and its changes under environmental and climate stressors is crucial. Bathymetric data, characterizing lake underwater topography, are essential for quantifying water storage and conducting related studies. Conventionally, lake bathymetry data are obtained from underwater topographic surveys using shipborne sonar sensors or airborne lidar sensors. However, such approaches are time-consuming and labour-intensive, limiting the mapping of large areas or numbers of lakes. Consequently, most lakes globally lack bathymetry data, hindering our understanding of regional/global lake water storages and their hydrological-ecological impacts. Urgent action is needed to address this gap.
Satellite remote sensing presents a promising tool for obtaining lake bathymetry at large scales cost-effectively and efficiently. Different methods have been developed such as the methods using multispectral satellite imagery data and empirical models, methods based on digital elevation models (DEM) and interpolation approaches, methods using a combination of satellite altimetry and satellite imagery data.
This project is funded by Swedish National Space Agency for 3 years and co-funded by the hosting department at Lund University for the 4th year. This project will focus on estimating bathymetry and water storage of lakes at the regional scale with an unprecedented spatial coverage and accuracy by integrating multiple methods and using multi-source satellite observations, including satellite altimetry, satellite imagery and DEM.
