As a PhD student with us, you will work closely with leading researchers in a strong and international research environment, with access to advanced laboratory equipment and good funding opportunities. You are offered secure employment, high-quality supervision, and room to grow, both as a researcher and as a person.\nThe research subject Building Materials (https:\/\/www.ltu.se\/forskning\/forskningsamnen\/byggmaterial) consists of 15 people. The subject focuses on developing sustainable materials and production technologies for the construction industry, as well as research and education related to ice and arctic conditions.\n \nSubject Description\nBuilding Materials includes sustainable building materials and their application, recycling and reuse, as well as applied building physics, with particular focus on arctic conditions.\n \nProject Description\nThis research investigates how mining waste, such as enrichment sand and waste rock, can be reused rather than deposited in landfills. Sweden, one of Europe's largest metal producers, generates large volumes of such waste each year, which can create environmental problems due to its reactive nature. This project aims to develop innovative ways to reuse this material in cement-based products, contributing to reducing environmental impact and supporting more sustainable and resource-efficient mining.\n \nResponsibilities\nAs a PhD student, you are expected to perform both experimental and theoretical work within your research studies and communicate your results at national and international conferences as well as in scientific journals. Tasks include laboratory testing, data analysis, and modeling.\n \nQualifications\nTo be eligible, you must have a master's degree in Materials Science or Chemistry. You should have basic knowledge of building materials and be fluent in English.\n \nThe following work or research experience is meritorious: experience with cement-based materials, XRD with Rietveld analysis, SEM, TG, DSC, micro-CT, particle size analysis, calorimetry, and experimental synchrotron measurement techniques. Knowledge of AI-based and machine learning methods is also meritorious.\n \nFor additional information on specific PhD education, see http:\/\/www.ltu.se\/research\/Utbildning-pa-forskarniva\/Studieplaner\/Allmanna-studieplaner-Teknisk-fakultetsnamnd\n \nInformation\nEmployment as a PhD student is time-limited to 4 years; teaching and other institutional duties may be added up to 20% of full-time. Place of work: Lule\u00e5. Intended start date: as soon as possible but no later than January 1, 2027.\n \nFor each position, a preliminary salary range is specified based on the position's requirements, responsibilities, and market conditions. https:\/\/www.ltu.se\/om-universitetet\/arbeta-hos-oss\/att-soka-en-anstallning#h-Informationomlonetransparens\n \nFor additional information, you are welcome to contact Professor Magdalena Rajczakowska, 076-128 83 34, magdalena.rajczakowska@ltu.se\n \nhttps:\/\/www.ltu.se\/om-universitetet\/arbeta-hos-oss\/att-soka-en-anstallning#h-Fackligakontaktpersoner\n \nApplication\nWe prefer that you apply for the position using the application button below where you attach a cover letter and CV\/merit list and copies of verified diplomas. Please mark your application with the reference number below. Both the application and diplomas must be written in Swedish or English. Recruitment communication and any interviews will only be conducted in English.\n \nDeadline for applications: September 30, 2026\nReference number: 4229-2026","language":"sv","is_translated":true,"title_original":"Doktorand i byggmaterial","description_original":"\u00c4r du redo att ta n\u00e4sta steg i din akademiska resa?
