Postdoctoral Researcher in Energy-Efficient Urban Logistics
3 weeks ago
The Department of Electrical Engineering at Chalmers tekniska högskola is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team. The research group focuses on applications in the transportation and energy sectors, with a long tradition in robust, optimal control design solutions. Our research has a particular focus on organizations in various sectors, including transportation, construction, healthcare, and manufacturing.
The postdoctoral researcher will have a unique opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary environment, developing innovative mathematical models for last-mile distribution that take into account the complexity of energy supply. The researcher will also apply those models to enable the transition towards electric vehicles for freight transport operators.
The project, ELaaS, aims to minimize the overall energy usage from consolidation centers to the customers' doors. This approach enables us to systematically and naturally target sustainability goals. The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in the following goals:
- Define logistics flows via models and mode shifts via scenario design method from authorities.
- Quantify the use of energy in logistics flows and devise energy-optimal delivery solutions. Dynamically schedule micro platforms and charging-parking allocations.
- Analyze spatio-temporal energy usage of urban logistics systems. Perform sensitivity analysis under power grid interruption. Scalability analysis of E-Laas algorithms.
- Quantify demand for freight and analyze the customer behavior change required to run E-Laas.
The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for elaborating new methods and algorithms, being active in the EU project, and publishing and presenting results in top-tier scientific journals. The researcher will also be part of proposal writing.
The ideal candidate should have a PhD degree in applied mathematics, computer science, transportation science, operations research, systems and control, or a similar field. Excellent presentation skills and fluency in English are required. Skills in operational research, integer optimization, and statistics are essential, while experience with partial differential equations and machine learning methods is advantageous.
Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. The postdoctoral researcher will be employed for two years and will have the opportunity to work with a leading group in the field.
