We are looking for postdocs to create a sustainable industry
Deadline: October 20th, 2019
We are seeking postdocs to launch research networks within the Industrial Transformation Platform - focusing on the industry's transition to meet climate change and increase competitiveness.
The postdoctoral fellows will form an interdisciplinary team with the task of initiating and coordinating a research network at KTH consisting of the doctoral students and postdocs who, with their research, want to help support the industry's transformation towards being fossil-free and CO2-neutral with a goal of passing the 1.5 degrees target 2030. The assignment includes organising networking events with the aim to initiate new cross-disciplinary collaboration projects.
Digitization and the transition to a circular economy are two important enablers in this context. Furthermore, the links product development - industrialization - production is an example of important aspects involved in the transformation. Initially, the focus areas of the team will be in the automotive, pharmacy / bio-production, electronics and forestry industries. The team will report directly to KTH's new research platform Industrial Transformation. The platform is working to visualize and initiate research at KTH that contributes to industry’s transformation.
We are now seeking postdoctoral fellows in various subject areas and welcome applicants from all KTH schools. We believe that you perform research in one of the platform's focus areas, are outgoing, positive, and like to network with others for a greater purpose. This commission of trust is expected to be part of your current postdoctoral position (about 10%). The team will dispose of funds to conduct various networking activities.
The application should include a resume, a description of academic interests as well as a brief motivation as to why you want to work on these issues and what you would like to do if you were given the assignment.
