The Automatic Control unit in the Division of Systems and Control, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has two PhD student positions available and is also looking for candidates to apply for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship.
The positions will give a unique possibility to reach absolute specialist competence in battery research and combine this with automatic control, both fields with very strong job markets also in the foreseeable future. The project involves both theoretical in-depth work as well as application oriented, and collaboration with specialists from the involved companies. You will be working in an internationally well-reputed group of about 15 researchers in the Automatic Control group developing battery management algorithms. Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.
A Chalmers PhD student position allows you to combine your career with the PhD degree, which means you will be treated as an employee and get a good salary and many other benefits.
Project 1: ML assisted ageing prediction and adaptive modelling for BMS.
This project will be funded by the Swedish Electromobility Center and represents a collaboration between Chalmers, Uppsala University (runs a parallel PhD project), Volvo Cars, Volvo Trucks, CEVT, ABB, and Epiroc in Sweden.
Project 2: Optimal usage and properties of battery storage units using 2nd life batteries.
This project will mainly be funded by the Swedish Electricity Storage and Balancing Centre and in collaboration with Volvo Trucks, Volvo Energy, and BatteryLoop.
Candidates of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship: Our team has hosted three candidates to win the prestigious fellowship for the past two years.
The application link for the PhD positions will be published on Chalmers website soon, but you can also email your application directly to us, including your CV and personal statement. Please explain why you are suitable for this position and when you will be available. We expect to start the project as soon as possible and will review your materials once received.
