Wood can be an excellent source for new and innovative material. Do you want work with enzymes, discover new ones and explore how they can contribute to sustainable production of material from wood? The project will focus on discover and exploreenzymes for wood tailoring coupled to functionalization of wood polymers. A cornerstone in the research will be to understand the wood and the effect enzymatic action have on it.

Project description
In this WWSC project, our goal is to discover enzymes that can be used for tailoring and functionalization of wood polymers and wood-derived molecules. By applying characterization methodology of both the structure and the chemistry of the wood-derived streams, we can both identify how the enzyme act on the wood and understand their application potential. The overall aim is to identify glycosyl transferases (GTs) that can act on wood polymers and wood-derived molecules. The starting point will be to discover enzymes from the collection of filamentous fungi the lab has access to from studies of biodiversity in South East Asia. Identified enzymes will be carefully characterized and applied for functionalization.

The project involves molecular biology to clone and heterologously express genes of interest, protein production and purification, and detailed biochemical characterization of identified enzymes, including determination of substrate specificities using wood derived streams. Detailed structural and chemical characterization of the wood-derived streams will be an integrated part of the project. The project will also involve various systems biology approaches to identify new interesting enzymes to study. WWSC provides a network for collaboration with other researchers that are experts in different areas.

Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC) is a research center striving for scientific excellence with a focus on new materials from trees. The center creates knowledge and builds competence for an innovative and sustainable future value creation from forest raw materials. WWSC is a multidisciplinary collaboration between KTH, Chalmers, and Linköping University. The base is a donation from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and the forest industry is supporting WWSC via the national platform Treesearch.

Are you fascinated by the secrets of the strongest steels? Are you interested in learning how to use and develop the materials science toolbox to better explain and characterise materials performance? Are you ready to work in a strong team to achieve challenging goals? Then you could be a good candidate for this project!

Project description
You will work in the Materials Technology Research Group in the Division of Engineering Materials at the Department of Industrial and Materials Science. Together with the Division of Materials and Manufacture, we maintain a well-equipped laboratory and also have access to complementary equipment within the Chalmers Materials Analysis Laboratory (CMAL) and outside Chalmers when useful. The project is part of the activities within the Swedish National Centre of Excellence in Railway Mechanics CHARMEC with strong links to the EU project Europe's Rail. Collaboration is expected both within the CHARMEC group and with other European research groups.

The project focuses on the materials science behind deformation, stress, and cracking in wheel and rail surfaces, including methods to simulate operational loading in the lab. These studies are crucial for material selection, maintenance strategies, and lifespan prediction. Repeated rolling contact loading creates a highly deformed microstructure near the contact surfaces, increasing strength but also causing anisotropy and fracture susceptibility. Cracks, such as head checks in rails and RCF cracks in wheels, often originate in this layer.

Key methods include biaxial (axial-torsional) testing, Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and optical and electron microscopy (SEM), with potential for advanced TEM and synchrotron experiments in collaboration with DTU and ESRF. Building on previous successful projects, this work aims to advance sustainable and competitive rail transport.

Major responsibilities
Your main responsibility as a PhD student is to carry out your own research. This includes reviewing current knowledge in the field, identifying research gaps and research strategies, performing and analysing experiments, developing scientific concepts and communicating research results both orally and in writing.

The funding provided from CHARMEC and related EU projects comes with some reporting and research direction obligations, but also allows for curiosity driven research as long as it benefits the application in the long run. As part of the role, you will also attend advanced courses within the Graduate School of Materials Science and teach undergraduate courses and other duties. You will be employed by Chalmers on a full-time temporary basis.

Qualifications
An appropriate background is a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering or Applied Physics with a focus on Materials Science or similar.

You have excellent communication skills in both written and spoken English. Your reading and writing skills will be highly valued. Communication skills in Swedish would be an advantage.

You have a genuine interest in designing, performing and analysing experiments, and relating the results to theory to solve complex problems. You will work independently and take responsibility for the progress and quality of your work, but you will also work collaboratively and interact with research students in related disciplines. Finally, you will be involved in the dissemination of results and knowledge within existing and new networks.

Nuclear energy is a versatile, flexible, and low-carbon power source that plays a critical role in the transition toward a decarbonized economy. A key aspect of ensuring the safety and efficiency of nuclear power is understanding the behavior of nuclear fuel at high burn-up levels. Such insights are vital for extending the safe operating range of nuclear fuel and for the handling of post-irradiation materials.

Project overview
The primary objective of this project is to develop a novel process for producing plutonium-bearing UO? SIMFuel pellets. This process will focus on controlling the metal content, metal distribution, and microstructure of the pellets to better simulate real-world conditions.

Spent nuclear fuel contains a complex mixture of chemical elements and microstructural characteristics. To study the impact of individual elements on fuel behavior, simplified fuel analogs, known as SIMFuels, are often employed. These analogs allow for detailed research without the significant challenges posed by handling real irradiated fuel.

In this project, homogeneous U-Pu oxide fuel will be fabricated and thoroughly characterized. The aim is to produce nanometric (U,Pu)O? solid solution particles, which will be sintered into pellets with an ultra-fine grain size to mimic high burn-up structure zones found in spent nuclear fuel. This work will contribute to advancing the understanding of microstructural features in spent fuel, which have yet to be accurately reproduced in simulated systems.

This position is funded by the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority and will be carried out within the Nuclear Chemistry Group at the Division of Energy and Materials, Chalmers University of Technology.

About the division and the research group
The Division of Energy and Materials, Nuclear Chemistry and Industrial Materials Recycling group at the department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering covers a broad range of research topics. We have more than 50 years of experience in these fields and we are driven by curiosity and boldness. Our research (aside hydrometallurgy applied in various non-nuclear applications), is devoted to the development of a closed nuclear fuel cycle (fuel research, waste management through recycling of spent nuclear fuel for separation for transmutation, novel fuel developments, final repository research) as well as safety of reactors from chemical point of view (current and Gen IV systems) as well as research on severe nuclear accidents.

Key responsibilities
As a Postdoc, your work will focus on key scientific questions related to your project. Specifically, you will investigate direct oxide precipitation from oxidation-state-controlled actinide solution mixtures. This work will involve handling highly radioactive materials, requiring operations in specialized glovebox systems.

In addition to your research, you will help maintain the laboratory systems to ensure a safe working environment. You are also expected to provide mentorship and support to PhD and Master's students, particularly in scientific integrity, subject knowledge, and safe laboratory practices.

Qualifications
To be considered for this position, you must hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Chemistry, Nuclear Physics, Reactor Physics, or a closely related field awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). A background in solution chemistry, solid-state chemistry, and electrochemistry is highly desirable.

Hands-on experience in practical chemical laboratory work is essential. Applications lacking documented lab work experience will not be considered.

Climate change is a socio-economic challenge, and climate simulations are the only scientific tool to predict our planet's future climate. Clouds are crucial for weather and climate predictions, rain formation, and the water cycle. According to the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), cloud modelling is one of the least understood domains in climate sciences and is “listed as one of the most urgent problems requiring scientific attention”. Clouds are considered the largest source of uncertainty in climate predictions because it is complicated to accurately model the small-scale process (microphysics) inside clouds occurring in a range from meters to nanometers in a global climate model where the resolution is of the order of Kilometers.

Project description
The Department of Mechanics and Maritime Science at Chalmers University is currently offering a postdoctoral position focused on the dynamics of supercooled liquid droplets and ice crystals in turbulent clouds. The research methodology for this position involves utilizing Eulerian-Lagrangian Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) coupled with phase change with the objective of generating new sub-grid models for Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of turbulent clouds.

The project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the MIXCLOUDS project, with the following objectives:


• Advance our knowledge on the interactions between different cloud particles in a turbulent environment
Improve the current models for tracking the position and effective sizes of ice and water droplets.
• This interdisciplinary project encourages collaboration with experts in statistics and atmospheric physics. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing our understanding of mixed phase clouds in the atmosphere.

Information about the division and the department
The position will be open at the Fluid Dynamic division of Mechanical and Maritime Science department. The research at the Division covers turbulent flow (both compressible and incompressible), multiphase flows, aero-acoustics and turbomachines. Our tools include both computations and experiments. The research covers a wide range of topics. In some research projects the smallest turbulent scales are studied whereas in others the function of a complete gas turbine is analyzed and modelled. The Division of Fluid Dynamics is part of Chalmers Sustainable Transport Initiative, Chalmers eScience Initiative and Chalmers Energy Initiative.

Major responsibilities
As a postdoc, you will be central to the development of the project, and also responsible for the implementation, validation and data analysis of the numerical tools.

You are expected to learn to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. Your research activities will contribute to enhanced knowledge in the scientific field, in particular by presenting your results in scientific journals and at international conferences.

Qualifications
PhD in Mechanical Eng., Naval/Maritime Eng., Meteorology, Atmospheric Physics, Chemical Eng., Physics, Mathematics, Aeronautics or any relevant PhD program.

We are announcing an exciting PhD position at the Division for Interaction Design and Software Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. Join a division that provides world-leading research and education in the development of complex and software-intense systems and is characterized by extensive international cooperation as well as close collaboration with the local industry.

Project description
The aim of this PhD project is to develop interaction design knowledge concerning aesthetic experiences and ethics of interactions with AI based systems. This is to be achieved through a constructive design research approach, (1) conducting empirical studies, (2) prototyping and testing and (3) communicating relevant knowledge to stakeholders.

Technologies influence our actions and experiences without being good or bad. This project aims to look at AI as "things with attitude" and design processes that can change opinions and attitudes. By integrating thoughtful interaction design with aesthetics of experience, and aesthetic interaction, we treat the quality of AI interactions as both an aesthetic and ethical matter. Thus, we explore bridging the gap between ethics and aesthetics in designing digital interactions.

Major responsibilities
The PhD student will utilize their human-centered design skills from the onset. Key competencies include design thinking, prototyping, interviewing, graphic design, information visualization, filmmaking, photography, illustration, and anthropological research. They will also learn advanced research methods from the arts, social sciences, and humanities, gaining insights into autonomous systems, AI, and related technologies.

The project will build on previous research in AI, aesthetics, and ethics, collaborating with renowned intellectuals and artists such as Dr. David Levy and Fleischmann and Strauss. Their guidance will enhance the quality and impact of our experiments.

In the first year, the student will conduct extensive literary research and create lo-fi prototypes within the GENIE Lab, focusing on the GENIE AI chatbot. The research will critically examine the implications of AI and digital technologies on social norms and sustainable practices, particularly in relation to ethics and aesthetics.

 Main responsibilities:


• Conduct independent research in the subject area.
• Read, review, and write research papers; give presentations, and take complementary courses.
• Engage in activities such as systematic literature reviews, empirical studies, prototyping, interaction with industrial companies, and data analysis.
• Collaborate with experienced researchers at the department, in companies, and other universities.

We are offering a postdoc position in the areas of higher category theory, homotopy type theory and constructive mathematics, with a competitive monthly salary and full social benefits. 

General Information
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is a fully integrated department with the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology as principals. The department is widely recognised for excellent research and education, and strongly international with approximately 300 employees from more than 40 countries. Our department is located in Sweden’s second largest city Gothenburg – the world’s most sustainable destination every year since 2016 according to the Global Destination Sustainability Index.

The department is organised in four divisions where research spans from theoretical foundations to applied systems development. The position is placed in the Logic and Types unit of the Computing Science division, with Chalmers University of Technology as employer. You will be part of a lively research environment with fun interaction with researchers in the area of the position and in other areas such as type theory, graph theory, functional programming, formal methods and information security.

Project Background and Description
Category theory is an organizing language for mathematics. Higher categories generalize categories, replacing sets of morphisms between objects by homotopy types. Certain phenomena such as descent or univalence admit a satisfactory explanation only in the higher categorical world.

Constructive mathematics is an approach to mathematics where proofs are effective, yielding algorithms for constructing witnessing objects. While ordinary category theory is largely constructive, higher category theory as developed using the quasicategory model in simplicial sets is typically not, due to the use of excluded middle to make every simplicial set cofibrant.

The goal of the project is to develop the theory of higher categories (also known as (?, 1)-categories) in a constructive setting, and investigate connections with homotopy type theory. This will use analytic, formal and synthetic approaches.

Main Responsibilities
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct high-quality original research and publish in leading international venues together with senior researchers in the group and other members of the research community. You will work both independently and as part of a team on research related broadly to the goals of the project, and communicate the results verbally and in writing.

Additionally, you will perform teaching activities including supervision of bachelor and master thesis projects for at most 20% of your time, as well as possible co-supervision of PhD students.

Qualifications
To be eligible for appointment as a postdoctoral researcher, you are required to have a doctoral degree in computer science, mathematics or other areas related to the project in this announcement, or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to such a doctoral degree.

You should be familiar with category theory and have an interest in type theory, homotopy theory, or higher categories. Familiarity with any of the following topics is beneficial: constructive mathematics, type theory, abstract homotopy theory, models of higher categories, simplicial sets.

Since teaching is part of the responsibilities, previous teaching experience is meritorious.

The working language at the department is English and the position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English.

Contract terms
The position is a full-time position starting as soon as possible after agreement and until the end of September 2027 at the latest, and located in the beautiful city of Gothenburg on the West coast of Sweden.

We offer
At Chalmers we seek to establish a good work/life balance. We want to provide you with the means to pick the best path possible in your pursuit of making a difference. Our ambitions in this area are reflected in the generous employment conditions, including:


• Holiday allowance of 28-35 days per year depending on age;

Information about the division and the department
Within bioelectronic engineering, we are developing technology such as microsensors that can link external systems directly to the body's own electrical signals, or wearable patches that interact with the skin. We develop process technology to build these systems, bench test environments to validate that the systems work, and biological tests such as cell cultures where we use the systems to stimulate specific behavior in cells and to monitor their response.

Project description
As a PhD in our group you will take on responsibility towards the application of cellulose-based materials for wound healing applications. You will focus on using new cellulose-based materials as carriers and insulators for skin-electrode interfaces, aiming at developing bioelectronic wound dressings.
You will:
- identify diverse protocols for generating cellulose-based membranes capable of conforming to skin wounds.
- explore various methods to generate functional conducting structures within the cellulose
- fabricate and validate prototypes focusing on the conducting/insulating properties required
- prototype different bioelectronic devices for measurement and stimulation of skin

Our skin has remarkable ability to self-heal, however, old age and certain diseases can drastically reduce this ability. This greatly increases the risk that a normal wound becomes a chronic wound. Lots of research has been invested into wound repair strategies that support or speed up the healing process to reduce the risk that chronic wounds form. One way to enforce faster closure is to use electrical stimulation to manipulate how skin-cells act during skin regeneration. This concept has been developed over a number of years the by the team in bioelectronic microtechnology. At this point we are exploring how this completely new active wound healing concept could be integrated in established wound dressing materials based on cellulose. We are expecting that this next step is what is needed to allow us to translate our research to an active wound dressing to be used in patients. For this project we are currently looking for a PhD, to develop cellulose based materials that can be used as substrate for electrode fabrication through laser-structuring in combination with cellulose based hydrogels/hydrocolloids intended for direct contact with the wounded area. The position is embedded within the Wallenberg Wood Science Centre where you will exchange with other research teams working with cellulose and other wood-based materials.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to develop ship physics-integrated machine learning models for real-time prediction and optimization of wind-assisted ship propulsion systems, integrating physical ship performance models with operational data. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to sustainable shipping by enhancing the efficiency and automation of wind-assisted propulsion (WAP) technologies. You will work at the intersection of marine engineering, artificial intelligence, control theory, and human factors, collaborating within the Marine Technology division at Chalmers University of Technology. This role not only involves cutting-edge research but also has the potential to set new standards in future ship designs and operations. If you are passionate about applying advanced technologies in real-world environments and making a significant impact on the maritime industry, we encourage you to apply.

Project description
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted ambitious environmental ambition to peak GHG emissions from international shipping as soon as possible and to reach net-zero GHG emissions by or around 2050. It also promotes the development and installation of various emission reduction measures. One of such measures is wind-assisted propulsion (WAP) technologies, which use renewable wind energy for auxiliary ship propulsions, with the potential to reduce around 20% emissions from shipping. However, installation of WAP onboard ships significantly changes ship operation characteristics, such as the manoeuvrability, energy performance and seafarers’ ability and attitude to navigate the ships.

In this project, we aim to develop an AI/ML-enhanced platform to create digital twin systems for WAPs. By integrating physical modeling with advanced machine learning techniques such as ANN, and CNN, we will build a comprehensive digital twin that accurately predicts the dynamic coupling performance of the hull and WAP systems in real-time. This platform will incorporate both the ship's physical dynamic hull-engine-propeller energy performance and calibrated sensor data through physics-informed neural network modeling. Additionally, we plan to utilize this digital platform to develop optimal control mechanisms to automate WAP operations and to demonstrate energy efficiency measures developed within our research activities.
