Jobs in Research at Division of Energy Technology

The Division of Energy Technology is excited to present three research opportunities focused on achieving deep GHG emission reductions across industrial value chains. These positions will tackle key issues related to climate change mitigation and sustainable energy systems. We aim to identify resource-efficient technologies, sustainable transformation pathways for energy, transportation, and heavy industry sectors.

  • Position 1: Emission Cuts in Building and Construction
    • Analyze emission reduction opportunities in the building and construction sector's value chains.
    • Develop material flow analysis techniques specific to this industry.
  • Position 2: Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Technologies
    • Research technologies and measures for achieving negative carbon dioxide emissions and related policies.
    • Evaluate infrastructure needs for Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (bio-CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC).
  • Position 3: Techno-Economic Energy Systems Modeling
    • Study technologies and policies to expand Sweden's low-carbon electricity supply while ensuring economic competitiveness.
    • Enhance mathematical models to encompass socio-technical and institutional drivers and barriers.

Join our collaborative team of senior researchers, postdocs, and PhD students working towards sustainable energy pathways. Your input will contribute to achieving emission reduction goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. Specify the position you are interested in when applying.

About the Department

The Division of Energy Technology is part of a forward-looking department that prioritizes research driven by curiosity and challenges. We contribute to realizing a sustainable future by creating long-term solutions based on knowledge and technology.

We have a diverse mix of expertise encouraging collaboration across various research areas. Our vision is to be at the forefront of addressing significant sustainability challenges in energy, Earth sciences, and space science, offering innovative solutions and expertise to society.

Main responsibilities

Your primary role as a postdoc involves conducting independent research within the group, developing scientific concepts, and communicating research outcomes effectively. You will also be involved in co-writing research proposals, teaching at different academic levels, and collaborating with academia and society. This role is valuable for future research opportunities in academia and industry/public sector.

Requirements
  • A recent doctoral degree in relevant fields like Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in English for both written and verbal communication. Knowledge of Swedish is beneficial but not mandatory.
  • Experience in teaching, strong research potential, and a focus on energy systems, optimization, or industrial process analysis are advantageous.

The employment is temporary for two/three years from the doctoral degree date. Alongside competitive compensation, Chalmers offers a stimulating work environment in a coastal city.
