1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Networked Systems Security
Summary of PhD Program:
We invite applications for doctoral student positions with the Networked Systems Security (NSS) lab at EECS/SCS. We are looking for highly motivated individuals to pursue a PhD in security and privacy. The positions involve activities leading to original research and results in peer-reviewed publications. The research topics can relate with any of the NSS group areas (https://www.eecs.kth.se/nss).
Application Deadline: 06.Dec.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in radar systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The project focuses on beam-forming techniques for modern antenna-array based radar systems for various civil and defence applications. Different techniques, including machine-learning, will be investigated for advanced digital, analog and hybrid beam-forming concepts, and applied to generating arbitrary beam-shapes in multi-static and passive radar systems. The work is primarily to be done by using simulation and computation software. If a hardware platform will be available before the end of the project, an implementation of the techniques on that platform will be carried out.
Application Deadline: 21.Nov.2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in software retrofitting for converters
Summary of PhD Program:
The electricity grid is undergoing rapid changes due to the implementation of renewables and large increase of power electronic converters. For example, High-Voltage Direct-Current (HVDC) technology is a key enabler for offshore wind integration and has massive expected growth rates. HVDC converter systems that are put in operation are normally expected to last 20-30 years, however during this time the surrounding electricity grid will change. For that reason, it is likely that the converter control and protection software needs to be adapted.
Application Deadline: 18.Nov.2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in HVDC grid protection expansion
Summary of PhD Program:
High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) technology is a key enabler for the integration of offshore wind energy into our power system. Today, we see the first multi-terminal systems appearing, however their design is typically done for the complete system and “plug&play” is not yet available. In this project we want to investigate the design of HVDC protection in multi-terminal systems, in particular during expansion. Here, both software and hardware parameters need to be considered and topics such as software re-design vs hardware re-design (or both), single- vs double-ended fault detection, and interaction with converter controls need to be taken into account.
Application Deadline: 18.Nov.2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Transport Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Urban Planning and Environment at KTH is seeking a highly qualified candidate in the field of Transportation. The applicant will research innovative solutions for urban transportation to address crucial challenges such as economic viability, accessibility, equity, and pressing environmental goals. The project will focus on policy design and evaluation for passenger transportation through agent-based simulation or simulation-based optimization for last-mile logistics, as well as the design of efficient mobility services and their implications for sustainable urban systems.
Application Deadline: 15.Nov.2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in sprayed solar cells
Summary of PhD Program:
In our group, we focus on organic and electronics and solar cells based on sustainable, bio-based materials. Starting from the thinnest conductive paper, we use advanced thin film technologies to apply functional layers by spray deposition as rapid, versatile, scalable, and industrially relevant thin film technology. This project aims to develop novel all-sprayed solar cells. Here, it is crucial to elucidate the underlaying nanostructure-process-functionality (e.g. photovoltaic efficiency) relationship; thus, the work includes design and development of spray deposition for cellulose-based polymer solar cells including in situ experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, such as MAX IV in Lund, at synchrotrons in Germany, Europe, and USA as well as neutron scattering at European and international neutron sources.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in secure machine learning for cyber-physical systems
Summary of PhD Program:
Foundation models, many of them based on self attention, have revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) and excel in other application domains, such as computer vision and time series forecasting. Their integration in future cyber-physical systems (CPS) has great potential, but it also brings unprecedented risks due to potential vulnerabilities. In this project project we will explore the vulnerabilities of foundation model (e.g., transformers) enabled CPSs and will develop detection and mitigation schemes to enable robust CPS including ML components. The PhD student is planned to spend at least 13 months at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) during the project.
Application Deadline: 11.Nov.2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Transport Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The Division of Transport and Systems Analysis at KTH is seeking a highly qualified candidate for a doctoral position for a project in Transport Logistics. The applicant will investigate innovative logistics solutions to address critical logistics challenges for performance and sustainability. The primary methods will involve simulation (e.g., agent-based models) and optimization, which also includes techniques from machine learning. The doctoral project will be conducted in collaboration between academic institutions and industry.
Application Deadline: 08.Nov.2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in matrix computations for data science
Summary of PhD Program:
Computation is often regarded as a third approach in science, complementing theory and experiments. In recent years, new data analysis tools have emerged as a fourth approach, enabling solutions to problems that were previously beyond reach using traditional methods. Many scientific challenges in computation and data analysis are expressed through linear algebra, with solutions derived from algorithms in numerical linear algebra. In this project, you will focus on developing numerical algorithms for data analysis. These algorithms will incorporate a combination of numerical linear algebra techniques, expressed as matrix problems and matrix functions, alongside machine learning methods, including deep learning neural networks, and approaches specific to particular domains.
Application Deadline: 07.Nov.2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Solid Mechanics
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, you will investigate the effects of drying and moistening on fibres and fibre joints during manufacturing and end-use. A particular focus will be on understanding how anisotropic constraints during drying influence the development of the network’s mechanical properties and residual stresses. This project provides an exciting opportunity to gain insights into the complex behaviour of fibre networks and contribute to advancing our understanding of these widespread materials, which are integral to the transition towards sustainable development.
Application Deadline: 07.Nov.2024
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Neuronics
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project is part of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks, InSilicoHealth (InSilicoHealth – Training the virtual twin professionals to support healthy ageing), with guest research at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany and at the helmet company Mips in Stockholm, Sweden during the doctoral period. Given the over-representation of the elderly in head injury statistics, FE head models specifically for the active ageing need to be developed urgently for improved and age adapted protection. This project will create individual specific injury prediction models that can be used for safer interpretation of the mechanisms associated with trauma of elderly and ultimately lead to improved head protection for the most vulnerable members of our society.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in participatory modelling the societal complexity of use of in silico models to design uptake strategies
Summary of PhD Program:
You will focus on developing and deploying a participatory modelling research protocol that captures the agency complexities, incentive structures and structural hindrances at a descriptive structural level. A successful project will provide insights into the actor and agency complexity of in silico model deployment from the development and validations of a system dynamics model, and actionable participatory methods to develop uptake policies at the hospital level, developed with relevant stakeholders and validated against the other DCs.
