1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Robotics and artificial intelligence
Summary of PhD Program:
The position will be part of the Robotics and AI team (RAI) that is conducting fundamental research in all the aspects of robotics with a specific focus on aerial, space, and bioinspired robotics. The vision of RAI is aiming in closing the gap from theory to real life, while the team has a strong expertise in field robotics. Specific application areas of focus are robotics for mines, aerial inspection of aging infrastructure, multi-robotic search, and rescue, multi sensorial fusion and multirobot coordination, including multirobot perception, decentralization, and mission execution. The RAI team has a strong European participation in multiple R&D&I projects, while RAI is also participating in the DARPA SUB-T challenge with the CoSTAR Team lead by NASA/JPL.
Application Deadline: September 30, 2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Wood Science and Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The main objective for this research position is to implement machine learning methods as part of a greater artificial intelligence (AI) framework for the sawmill industry. A key task is to increase the level of integration of the data flow in the sawmill process using X-ray CT (computed tomography) technology. The AI framework should ultimately lead to a digital twin of a cutting-edge sawmill process for prediction and optimization of the product output. The data you are intended to work with are primarily derived from CT scans of timber (logs and boards), which will mainly be collected at our CT lab in Skellefteå.
ML should be used for three main tasks of the envisioned AI framework:
1) development of algorithms that reduce noise and enhance the visibility of quality-essential features in CT-scanned logs,
2) development of methods that automate the creation of 3D virtual logs with parametrized segmentation of the quality-essential features,
3) development of combined physics-informed and learning-based models (e.g. PINNs) to predict the mechanical properties of construction timber.
Application Deadline: 30 September 2023

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cyber-Physical Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to further digitalize the European industry, where EISLAB 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. The Projects typically involve working with both academic and industrial partners in Europe. Hence, collaboration with the software and automation industry in the form of both future product owners and users is a key factor to the success of these projects. In this, you will work closely with other LTU researchers and doctoral students.
Application Deadline: September 10th 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Automatic Control
Summary of PhD Program:
A doctoral student’s main responsibility is to pursue doctoral studies with the aim to successfully defend a doctoral dissertation. The position may include departmental duties, typically teaching, student supervision, and writing research applications, with up to 20% of full-time employment. The position offers extensive opportunities for cooperation with the industry, participating in academic conferences and academic publishing and other related training and personal development activities. Travelling will be required for the purpose of cooperating with industry partners and presenting research results at conferences and meetings.
Application Deadline: August 31, 2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in AI Factory /AVIATION in Operation and maintenance
Summary of PhD Program:
In this position, you will mainly be working on one of our research projects called ‘AI Factory /AVIATION’, which focuses on research related to Industrial AI and eMaintenance in the aviation industry, including Machine Learning, Transfer Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Neural Network, Spiking Neural Network etc. This project will contribute to increased utilisation of AI and digitalisation of the aviation industry, by conducting research within:
- Industrial AI
- Digital Twin
- Nowcasting and forecasting
- Machine Learning
- Deep Learning
- Business Intelligence
- Big Data
- Cloud/edge Computing
- Information Logistics
- Operation & maintenance
- eMaintenance
Application Deadline: September 15 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Signal Processing
Summary of PhD Program:
Future 6G networks are expected to support new sensing functions. Communication networks will not only measure the location and speed of various nearby objects, but also map the physical context around those objects. This will be very important in the ongoing industrial green transition: the envisioned sensing capabilities will enable networks to identify, authenticate, locate, and track things and map their surroundings. Industries will be able to track flows of raw materials, semi-products, final products, and waste – this information is critically needed to then control and optimize production processes, possibly through the appropriate use of digital twins.
Application Deadline: September 27, 2023
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in laser metal processing
Summary of PhD Program:
You will participate in international research projects, aiming for a deep process understanding of laser welding and additive manufacturing (3D-printing) of metal products. In cooperation with manufacturing industry, the melt flow during the processes will be studied, by applying advanced experimental methods like high-speed imaging as well as developing numerical approaches like machine learning algorithms, as part of Artificial Intelligence. Creative new approaches will be identified and studied. You will be part of a cooperative research team that provides a friendly, inspiring atmosphere, high scientific level and the opportunity for personal development.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Fossil Free and Green Lubricants in Machine Elements
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is about optimizing mechanical/lubrication systems for fossil free and green lubricants. As we know the current mechanical components are heavily relying on fossil-based lubricants lubrication, which have been continuously developed and optimized during the past a couple of hundred years. It is not fair to ask the newly existing fossil free and green lubricants to perform the same as or better than previous fossil-based lubricants in the mechanical systems without any system change.
Application Deadline: August 31, 2023
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Planetary Science
Summary of PhD Program:
The SNSA-funded PhD position derives from the involvement of Luleå University of Technology researchers in an upcoming Japanese/European space mission to study the Martian moon Phobos. The project aims to investigate the photometric properties of the surface of Phobos in support of this mission. Comparing remote sensing observations of Phobos with the results of photometric experiments involving regolith analogues will provide insight into the physical properties of the regolith. The knowledge of such properties is vital for the mission success of the Japanese MMX orbiter and its European rover at Phobos.
