Postdoctoral Researcher in Circular Manufacturing Systems

Popis:

Job Responsibilities We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher who wants to contribute to the transition toward future circular industry through research on circular manufacturing systems and resource-efficient production solutions. The research is conducted at the Department of Production Development at KTH and aims to support the manufacturing industry's transition from linear to circular value chains. The project is based on a life cycle perspective where products, components, and materials retain their value through reuse, remanufacturing, and reintegration into production. The position primarily involves further developing research from the iReGear project in close collaboration with TRATON Group R&D. The focus is on how remanufactured transmission components can be integrated into production systems for new heavy-duty vehicles and how circularity can be scaled up in industrial application. The work includes analysis and development of component and material flows as well as identification of opportunities for reuse, reprocessing, and remanufacturing, while taking technical, quality, and operational requirements into account. The candidate is also expected to contribute to other ongoing and upcoming research initiatives. This position is part of KTH's PROCEED initiative for research activities in Södertälje, which provides a unique opportunity for research collaboration with Traton/Scania and AstraZeneca. To enable close collaboration and cooperation, regular physical presence in Södertälje is an important part of the position. The position offers excellent opportunities to build a strong international network, develop your own research, and contribute to industry's green transition. Qualifications Requirements Completed doctoral degree or foreign degree assessed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be fulfilled by the time the employment decision is made. The candidate must hold a doctoral degree in engineering as well as a civil engineering degree and bachelor's degree in production, manufacturing, industrial economics/industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, or equivalent field. The successful candidate has academic publications in leading peer-reviewed scientific journals, preferably in circular economy and/or production engineering. The ability to lead interdisciplinary work and coordinate complex efforts from different research disciplines, collaborating organizations, and projects is crucial. The candidate has the ability to generate research ideas and use these to design research applications in order to secure funding. Meritorious At the final application deadline, no more than three years since the doctoral degree or a foreign degree assessed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree was obtained. Documented research experience in circular manufacturing systems, or strong interest in the field. Experience in manufacturing, remanufacturing, or circular production systems is meritorious. Experience with research and innovation projects, including project development, research applications, consortium building, and planning of activities and resources. Experience in project management and participation in national or international research projects, particularly EU-funded projects, is meritorious. Industrial experience from production environments is highly valued. Good ability to work in cross-functional and international teams and very good English language skills, as it is part of daily work. Experience in collaboration with industry and other stakeholders as well as the ability to communicate and disseminate research results to different target audiences is meritorious. Awareness of diversity and equal treatment issues with particular focus on gender equality. Good collaborative skills and ability to work independently. We will place great emphasis on personal qualities. Become Part of KTH KTH shapes the future through education, research, and innovation. As a leading international technical university, we play an active role in driving and participating in the transition to a sustainable society.
