Welcome to Linnaeus University! We meet the societal challenges of today and tomorrow in a spirit of openness, curiosity and creativity. By creating arenas for exchange of knowledge from different subjects, fields and cultures, we open up for new ideas and create new opportunities for long-term sustainable societal development. Linnaeus University – where people grow.
The Faculty of Technology has a wide range of activities spanning nine different departments through which Linnaeus University provides education and conducts research. The courses in technology cover everything from short courses of a few weeks or months to five-year Master of Science in Engineering courses. The research responds to society's needs in several broad fields - both in the short and long term - with basic research and applied research in collaboration with stakeholders.
The department of Building Technology has extensive collaboration with business partners in research and education. The department works together with the neighboring departments for a creative environment with challenging educations and outstanding research. Research in building technology includes wood building technology, steel, concrete and composite construction technology, building physics, historical structures, structural health monitoring, life cycle analysis and building materials.
The doctoral position is part of the research profile Competitive timber structures, which contributes to the green transition of the construction sector.
Further substitution of non-renewable construction materials with wood is needed and this, in turn, requires wood-based products and structures to be improved with respect to resource efficiency, performance, cost-effectiveness and circularity.
Admitted to: Building Technology
Type and terms of employment: The employment as a doctoral student is limited according to chapter 5, section 7 of the Higher Education Ordinance. The total employment period may not be longer than the equivalent full-time postgraduate studies of four years. The Higher Education Ordinance states that those who are employed as PhD students must primarily engage in their own research education. However, an employee may to limited extent work with education, other research and administration. Such work may, before the doctoral degree has been completed, not cover more than 20% of full-time work. An employment as a PhD student must refer to full-time work. If a PhD student so requests, the employment may relate to part-time work. Note, however, that a PhD student working only 50 % cannot engage in anything other than their own post graduate education within the framework of the employment.
Location: Växjö
Start: Access by agreement.
Work description
The PhD student will focus on modelling and design of engineered wood products (EWPs) and especially cross laminated timber (CLT). Relationships between properties of base material/lamellas and properties of engineered wood products will be investigated. The work should give new knowledge to enable improved utilization of wood material of different qualities and improved performance and competitiveness of EWPs. The work should also contribute to the development of design models that may be implemented in future versions of structural codes and standards. The use of EWPs for optimized floor systems, including composite floors combining different EWPs and/or materials can also be explored in collaboration with a parallel planned PhD project. The work will include mathematical modelling, including finite element modelling and statistics, as well as planning and carrying through of laboratory experiments and investigations. The work will include collaboration with industry partners.
As a part of the training the PhD student will take courses as agreed with the supervisors.
The Higher Education Ordinance states that a person who is employed, as a PhD student should primarily devote himself/herself to his/her own studies. However, an employee may to a limited extent work with education, research and administration. Such work may, before the doctoral degree has completed, not cover more than 20% of a full-time work.
