Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time

Position Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our project on Energy optimal urban Logistics As A Service (ELaaS). This initiative is supported by the European Union and involves collaboration between multiple divisions at Chalmers University of Technology.

Project Background
The ELaaS project aims to develop innovative solutions for urban logistics, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability. The research will involve creating advanced mathematical models for last-mile distribution, addressing the complexities of energy supply, and facilitating the transition to electric vehicles in freight transport.

Research Goals
The project encompasses several key objectives, including:

  • Defining logistics flows and mode shifts through scenario design methods.
  • Quantifying energy usage in logistics and developing optimal delivery solutions.
  • Analyzing spatio-temporal energy consumption of urban logistics systems.
  • Assessing customer behavior changes necessary for implementing ELaaS.

Major Responsibilities
The postdoctoral researcher will engage in:

  • Developing new methodologies and algorithms.
  • Contributing actively to the EU project.
  • Publishing and presenting research findings in leading scientific journals.
  • Participating in proposal writing for future research initiatives.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess a PhD in applied mathematics, computer science, transportation science, operations research, systems and control, or a related field. Strong presentation skills and fluency in English are essential. Proficiency in operational research, integer optimization, and statistics is required, while experience with partial differential equations and machine learning techniques is advantageous.

Contract Details
This is a full-time, temporary postdoctoral position for a duration of two years, based at the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Working Environment
Chalmers University of Technology offers a dynamic and inspiring research environment, fostering collaboration and innovation.
