Luleå, Norrbotten, Sweden Luleå University of Technology Full time
About Us
Luleå University of Technology is a leading European university in mining and metallurgy. Our research subject Mining and Rock Engineering comprises mining technology, rock engineering, and rock mechanics, including rock mass properties, design of rock excavations, and tunneling processes related to both mining and civil engineering.

Our Project
Our SUV project contributes to the green transition and carbon neutrality in the steel industry in Norrbotten by developing large-scale underground hydrogen storage technology in mines/mining areas, including abandoned production levels. The project involves a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of technical, economic, legal, safety, and regulatory aspects in connection with a future application of large-scale UHS in mining areas, promoting circularity and renewable energy use for fossil-free steel production in future integrated value chains.

Your Role
As a PhD student, you will perform both laboratory, numerical, and field work within your research studies. You are expected to communicate 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.

Requirements
To be eligible for this position, you must have a MSc degree in Rock Mechanics, Mining Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, or Solid Mechanics. A strong background in the area of 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. Since some work will be conducted on site and in close collaboration with other researchers and industry partners, the ability to work collaboratively in larger groups is an important asset.
