Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden Luleå University of Technology Full time
Project Overview
Our project, SUV, aims to develop large-scale underground hydrogen storage technology in mines/mining areas, including abandoned production levels. This project will contribute to the green transition and carbon neutrality in the steel industry in Norrbotten by investigating and evaluating technical, economic, legal, safety, and regulatory aspects in connection with a future application of large-scale UHS in mining areas. This promotes circularity and renewable energy use for fossil-free steel production in future integrated value chains.

Your Responsibilities
As a PhD student, you will conduct laboratory, numerical, and field work within your research studies. You will also be responsible for communicating your results at national and international conferences and in scientific journals. Additionally, you will read compulsory doctoral courses, and the majority of your working time will be devoted to your own research studies. In addition, you may have the opportunity to try out teaching roles and participate in workshops and field trips organized by the network of young scientists (NYS) at CH2ESS.

Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for this position, you must have a Master's degree in Rock Mechanics, Mining Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Solid Mechanics. A strong background in numerical modelling is required. You should be a highly motivated person with a great aptitude for research, a strong intellect, and disciplined work habits. Collaborative skills and good communication abilities are also essential.
