【博士招聘|芬兰】11月15日!阿尔托大学招聘学术型博士生, 研究方向过程电气化！+岗位群聊邀请

截止日期：2024年11月15日

Do you enjoy mathematics and want to use your knowledge on chemical processes to create decision-making tools for the future industry? If you are a creative and analytical person and like programming this might be something for you!

We are looking for a doctoral researcher (“PhD student”) to work on the interesting field of energy transition. In particular, we would like to understand how the plans for process electrification could be realized such that the transition of production processes and its environment is both feasible, economic and sustainable. In this work the concepts of chemical engineering, operations research and computer science will meet as you may also need to deploy machine learning to support data analytics and complex decision-making processes.

You will be responsible for conducting research in the area of process electrification, with a specific focus on developing collaborative models on how to link production into energy systems on the planning level. You need to work in the following topics:

• Create models that can embed the dynamics and flexibility of     both processes and energy systems (e.g. power grids)

• Implement your models using state-of-the-art optimization     solutions

• Analyze the relevance of energy storage options and other     energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen)

• Look into the sustainability of various alternatives and embed     these into decision making

• Collaborate with experts across school borders to support the     topical development

Aalto University offers an excellent environment for driving and realizing your own research ideas, contribute to a sustainable future, stay at the forefront of research and networking by interacting with companies and other schools.

The starting date is 1.2.2025 or as mutually agreed. The first employment contract is made for one year, during which you will apply for the study right in doctoral studies at Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering. Please check the student information and admission criteria at https://www.aalto.fi/en/study-options/aalto-doctoral-programme-in-chemical-engineering. Please pay attention to the mandatory skill level in English. Doctoral studies at Aalto University take approximately four years.

The starting salary for a doctoral researcher is 3000 EUR/month, and will increase over time according to the salary system of Aalto University.

We work in a hybrid way, and the primary workplace is Otaniemi, Espoo. The Otaniemi campus is a thriving and connected community of 100 nationalities, 13,000 students and 4,500 employees. Life at the transformed campus is vibrant and filled with amazing architecture, calming nature, and a variety of cafes, restaurants, services and good connections along the recently opened metro line.

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with previous experience in:

• Computer-aided decision making

• Mathematical modeling and optimization

• Experience or interest in artificial intelligence / machine learning

• Good programming skills, e.g. Python or equivalent

• Supply chain planning of chemical processes, energy systems or in another relevant area

The experience should be demonstrated by evidence of success in related studies, and ideally also by some publication record. Other merits demonstrating suitability for a doctoral researcher position can also be considered.

• Motivation letter with a short description of your research interest. Please include the applicant's contact information and an indication of the preferred starting date (max. 1 page)

• CV including details of all academic merits (including publications, if applicable), and contact information of two persons who may be contacted to provide a character reference (max. 3 pages)

• Summary of the applicant's master's thesis (max. 1 page)

• Copy of the applicant’s master’s degree certificate and a transcript of studies (with a clear explanation of the grading scale)

Please note that the position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is identified. For additional information, kindly contact Prof. Iiro Harjunkoski,iiro.harjunkoski@aalto.fi.
