2011 Doctorate Studentship in the Department of Energy and Environment at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

Study Subject(s): Smart Heat Distribution Systems
Course Level: PhD
Scholarship Provider: Chalmers University of Technology
Scholarship can be taken at: Sweden

-Admission as a doctoral student normally requires a Master of Science degree in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, or chemical engineering.
-For this specific position a degree in mechanical or civil engineering together with previous experience from building simulation tools will be valued as an advantage.
-The undergraduates are normally taught in Swedish, although the graduate level teaching is in English. Thus good language skills are required.
-Applicants who do not have Swedish as native language should be able to teach in Swedish after two years of employment.

The research topic is related to a smart grid approach applied on district heating. The aim is to investigate the influence of building system control and heat capacity, different energy efficiency measures, new heat loads (e.g. heat driven dish washers) and their interaction with electricity and heating tariffs to improve the economic utilisation of district heat in buildings. The research project is carried out in close cooperation with Göteborg Energi. The majority of your working time is devoted to your own research studies. A PhD student is also expected to develop own ideas and communicate scientific results orally as well as in written form. In addition, the position will normally include 20% departmental work, mostly teaching duties. The employment is limited to a maximum of five years.
