Postdoctoral Researcher in Energy Optimal Urban Logistics

1 week ago


Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time
Project Overview

The ELaaS project is a collaborative effort between the Division of Systems and Control, Electrical Engineering, and the Division of Service Management and Logistics, Technology Management and Economics at Chalmers University of Technology. Our research focuses on organizations in various sectors, including transportation, construction, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Research Objectives

The postdoctoral researcher will have the 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 these models to enable the transition towards electric vehicles for freight transport operators.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop energy-based quantitative frameworks for urban logistics systems
  • 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 customer behavior change required to run E-Laas
Requirements

The applicant should have a PhD degree in applied mathematics, computer science, transportation science, operations research, systems and control, or similar. Excellent presentation skills and fluency in English are required. Skills in operational research, integer optimization, and statistics are essential, experience with partial differential equations and machine learning methods is advantageous.

What We Offer

Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. The postdoctoral position is a full-time temporary employment for two years, seated at the Department of Electrical Engineering. A monthly salary is paid, and there are no tuition fees for PhD studies at Chalmers, so the postdoc associate can take classes.
