1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Elements
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is about the circular economy of industrial electric motors. As much as 45% of the world’s energy use comes from the industry’s 300 million electric motors. Continued electrification means that the number will double by 2040. 80% of today’s electric motors have a low energy class, and a shift to a higher class would reduce energy use by 10%. With legislation and increasing energy costs, engines will therefore be replaced, in parallel with electrification, which means that new production can more than double. Recycling the electric motor’s material for new manufacturing is complicated and expensive. Therefore, real circularity is required via optimized materials adapted for recycling, new engine design, and utilization of existing machines as spare parts.
Application Deadline: 15 September 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Summary of PhD Program:
We are recruiting a PhD candidate who will conduct research related to our research track focusing on business model innovation, circular economy, and sustainable industry. This project aims to understand how to design and develop circular business models with an industrial ecosystem of partnerships to drive the green transition. Therefore, this project takes an innovation ecosystem perspective to analyze business models and their economic, social, and environmental value. A significant part of the research is focused on addressing business needs by mapping out challenges, proposing methods for improvement, and facilitating the implementation of the proposed methods.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Information Systems in data-driven decision-making
Summary of PhD Program:
In the MARTINA project, we intend to build on the conditions for green and digital transformation locally in the Arctic to support the development of human-centered AI innovations. This project will contribute to Industry 5.0 and society’s green and digital transformation. This will be particularly important in the green transition based on Industry 5.0, where humans work side-by-side with AI systems, thereby enhancing human capabilities by, for example, predicting events, automating routine tasks, adapting to individual needs, streamlining tasks, and supporting decision-making. AI design is different from traditional design processes as the systems are adaptive, predictive and able to learn.
