3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Energy Engineering – with a special emphasis on electro-conversion of lignin and its derivatives for bio-chemical production
Summary of PhD Program:
This is is a four-year PhD project, with financial support from the Swedish Energy Agency and the cooperation with the Umeå University. The overall aim of the project is to develop effective ionic liquids (ILs) as promoters to improve performance. Within the PhD project, we will develop a novel concept to produce bio-based aromatic chemicals and green H2 simultaneously from lignin, focusing on the anode side to lower the energy demand, where ionic liquids will be used to promote the dissolution and activation of lignin and its derivatives, nanostructured electrocatalysts (anodes) will be developed, and energy, cost, and environmental impact will be quantified, and machine learning will be used.
Application Deadline: August 5, 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cybersecurity with Specialization in Memory-safe Software
Summary of PhD Program:
In the autumn of 2024, Luleå University of Technology will start several projects in the area of cyber security in collaboration with other universities, small and medium-sized companies, large companies, municipalities, regions and authorities such as the Swedish Pensions Agency, the Swedish Armed Forces, etc. You will work within a newly started team that operates in an extremely current and fast-moving area. Our upcoming projects focus on cyber security linked to IT; OT and IoT, and cloud security where development and evaluation of technical solutions is a common denominator. Specifically, we are looking for a PhD student within memory-safe software.
Application Deadline: 5 August 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cybersecurity with Specialization in Artificial Intelligence
Summary of PhD Program:
The European AI Act introduces ambitious regulations for the development of AI systems that are safe from the design stage. This PhD project is focused on making a significant contribution to the fulfillment of the AI Act requirements by promoting the development of technical solutions and innovations with safe AI functionality. This activity will investigate the practical challenges of designing AI algorithms safely. This research will focus on areas such as data anonymization and masking, advanced protocols for privacy-preserving learning, and improving transparency and fairness in AI models.
Application Deadline: 5 August 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cybersecurity, Secure IT/OT/IoT and Cloud Security
Summary of PhD Program:
The use of automation systems for control of production and distribution processes increases the vulnerability to the cyber threats that have become increasingly common in recent years, while cloud services are increasingly being used for these automation systems. In order to secure IT and OT environments to be maintained over time, there needs to be management systems for cyber security that cooperate with each other. In this work, we focus on experimental research concerning technical parts of cyber-secure management systems, such as network construction, network security and architecture for security, a so-called “blueprint”, which can be multiplied between different sites and organizations.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to further digitalize the European industry, where EISLAB/CPS will be responsible for the CPS intelligence, IoT, and SoS automation architecture as well as the use of AI and Machine Learning (ML). Targeted results include academic papers and contributions with open-source code for the Eclipse Arrowhead. Projects typically involve working with both academic and industrial partners in Europe. Hence, collaboration with the software and automation industry is a key factor for the success of these projects. In this, you will work closely with other LTU researchers and doctoral students.
Application Deadline: August 4 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Process Metallurgy
Summary of PhD Program:
Pyrometallurgical extraction of metals generates slags, and for certain processes, the mass of slag is greater than that of the metal produced. Consequently, finding a suitable valorization route for slags is necessary for sustainable metal production from a resource efficiency standpoint. The current project aims to investigate the link between the pyrometallurgical process and the feasibility of utilizing slags as a supplementary cementitious material. By enabling this recycling route, a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the cement industry can achieved each year. In this project, your main response parameter will be how the slag behaves as a supplementary cementitious material.
Application Deadline: August 2, 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering Materials focusing on Ni-based superalloy
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to evaluate a new wrought Ni-based superalloy, ATI 273TM, which offers high manufacturability and exceptional properties that surpass existing superalloys. This project will systematically study the thermodynamic properties, microstructure, mechanical properties, and weldability of ATI 273TM. The goal is to ensure that this superalloy can be seamlessly integrated into aerospace component manufacturing workflows while maintaining structural integrity and performance throughout its lifecycle. Key users of the research findings will be aeronautical engineers and manufacturers, who can leverage the results to design more reliable and efficient aircraft engines, thereby reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
