Linköping, Östergötland, Sweden Statens Väg- och Transportforskningsinst Full time

**About VTI**

VTI, the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, is a governmental authority conducting applied research and qualified investigations in the field of transport.

We are a team of 250 employees with a wide range of expertise, working together to develop solutions for a more sustainable transport system.

The head office is located in Linköping, while our other offices are situated in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Lund.


**Job Description**

We are now seeking an additional employee for our Vehicle System and Driving Simulation unit, FSK. The unit conducts outstanding research in vehicle systems, vehicle technology, and simulation.

Our activities focus on developing and operating advanced driving simulators, VR/XR labs, and equipment to measure road and tire interaction. We also develop most of the software for this equipment ourselves.

The position is located in Linköping and will work closely with our international partners and researchers.


**Research Project**

The research project focuses on the performance of High Capacity Transport (HCT) vehicles and aspects that should be considered for automation of these vehicles.

HCT vehicles are one of the key contributors to reduction of fuel consumption and emissions of goods transport. Automation of these vehicles should be studied to meet the future transport demands and further enhance their effectiveness and safety.

Examples of relevant research topics in the project include collecting and analyzing data from HCT vehicles driving in real traffic under different conditions, identifying critical scenarios, developing scenario-based test methods for automated HCT vehicles, and driving behavior modeling for autonomous functions.


**Your Role**

As a doctoral student, you will be enrolled at the Division of Vehicular Systems at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University (LiU).

Your doctoral education includes several elements, such as completing doctoral courses and conducting high-quality applied research under supervision from VTI and LiU.

The work includes planning research projects, collecting and analyzing data, and developing new models and methods. The work also includes writing research articles and presenting research results at scientific conferences.


**Requirements**

We are looking for a candidate who has a MSc degree in automotive engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar.

You should be interested in vehicle dynamics and control, data analysis, model development, and simulation, and be analytical and open to new challenges.

You will have many contacts with internal and external partners, researchers, and collaboration with other doctoral students.

We place great emphasis on your ability to collaborate, communicate, take your own initiative, and work independently.

You should express yourself well in English, both verbally and written. It is also a merit if you know Swedish.
