PhD Student Position in Ocean Observation Sensors and Robots

This PhD student position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a large national research program with a wide range of partners.

The research project will focus on creating a sustainable Blue economy, with a specific emphasis on waters around Sweden as a template for other areas worldwide.

The project will utilize emerging technologies to develop a fully automatic data chain, from water to public cloud interfaces, incorporating sensor fusion and machine learning techniques.

Project Overview

The research will target fully automated and robust data chains, from robots or observatories deployed in the oceans to publicly available cloud environments.

The data will be enhanced using other existing data sources and machine learning methods.

The research will focus on robust embedded electronics and sensors for use in rough ocean environments, with related mechanical engineering and design.

If possible, bio-inspired methods will be employed to improve system endurance and self-maintenance.

Research Group and Department

The research will be conducted within the division of Division of Vehicle and Mobility Systems at Chalmers tekniska högskola.

The division conducts fundamental and applied research in areas such as safety, energy efficiency, and material optimization of sustainable technology solutions.

The research group focuses on engineering systems with applications in vehicles and robots, with a common theme of interpretable AI.

Responsibilities

Your main responsibility will be to pursue research within the project.

You are expected to implement, test, and extend existing scientific ideas and concepts, as well as invent new ones.

You will be guided by senior researchers at the involved departments.

The position also includes teaching on undergraduate and master's levels, as well as supervising master's thesis students or performing other duties corresponding to 10-20 percent of working hours.

You are expected to actively communicate with other project partners, attend project meetings, and pursue tasks within areas where Chalmers is involved.

You are also expected to find possible research topics within the project tasks for the purpose of writing research papers.
