Here we offer education from basic level to doctoral degree and conduct world-class applied research. We make a difference and change things. Do you want to be one of us?\n \nJob Description\nThe doctoral candidate positions are linked to our research in mechanical engineering and product development, where several externally funded research projects are conducted in parallel in close collaboration with industry, public agencies, and international partners. The person hired is expected to contribute to the development of this research, including participation in ongoing and future research projects where research questions, empirical studies, and methodological development are shaped by real-world challenges in various application areas.\n \nThe research focuses on strengthening product and production development processes as well as decision-making in the development and management of complex technical systems through a model-based approach, i.e., a combination of simulation- and data-driven methods and tools, where data analysis and machine learning are important components. Particular emphasis is placed on developing generalizable knowledge, methods, and tools that can be applied in multiple contexts, including civil, industrial, and defense-related (dual use) applications.\n \nWork tasks include conducting research, collecting and analyzing data from multiple project contexts, developing and evaluating methods and tools, writing scientific publications, and disseminating results in academic, industrial, and societal forums. The position involves close collaboration with researchers, doctoral candidates, and external stakeholders, and requires the ability to balance depth in specific studies with breadth across the research portfolio.\n \nRules and benefits for PhD candidates in Sweden apply to this position. The doctoral candidate will develop an individual study plan in mechanical engineering together with their supervisors. The position may include up to 20% other tasks, such as teaching at basic and advanced levels.\n \nResearch Environment\nThe research is conducted within the subject of mechanical engineering as part of https:\/\/www.productdevelopment.se\/ (PDRL). PDRL is an internationally recognized research environment focusing on product development, innovation capability, and advanced design engineering, with strong ties to industrial and societal challenges.\n \nThe environment is characterized by interdisciplinary collaboration, applied research projects, and access to advanced development, simulation, and visualization infrastructure. Research is conducted in collaboration with national and international partners from industry, government agencies, and academia. Examples of current application areas include the automotive industry (sheet metal forming), construction machinery, and manufacturing systems (digital twins).\n \nEligibility Requirements\nTo be employed as a PhD candidate, the applicant must be or will be admitted to doctoral education.\n \nEligible for admission to doctoral level education is someone who has completed a degree at advanced level, fulfilled course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits at advanced level, or in some other way within or outside the country acquired essentially equivalent knowledge (7 ch. 39 \u00a7 Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100)).\n \nDesirable Qualifications\nMasters degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.\nGood knowledge of computer-aided engineering (CAE), such as non-linear FEM, rule-based design, parametric design, and general model-based systems engineering are advantageous.\nExperience applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in engineering fields.\nAbility to work independently as well as in teams.\nDocumented experience in research and development work.\nGood skills in written and oral communication in English.\nGood ability to express yourself in Swedish in speech and writing.\n\n \nWork Location: Karlskrona.\nPosition Size: 100%.\nStart Date: By agreement\nDuration: Fixed-term employment for up to 4 years of full-time research. The employment may include up to 20% other duties, such as teaching, in which case the employment period may be extended to a maximum of 5 years.\nApplication Deadline: October 12, 2026.\nYour application should contain the following:\nA statement of your background, knowledge, and experience in the area(s) relevant to the position.\nA CV.\nCertified exam certificates and transcripts officially issued by your university; see https:\/\/www.universityadmissions.se\/intl\/start for official recommendations.\nContact information for two references (reference letters are not required at this stage).\nThe earliest date you can begin work.\nAn appendix with current publications (if applicable).\nA link to your thesis (most recent\/highest degree).\n\n \n \nYou apply through our recruitment system by clicking the \"apply\" button below.
