Mechanical Engineering is one of six research units within the School of Science and Technology at Örebro University. The division is very much developing and expanding, and this post offers an exciting opportunity, for the right candidate, to be part of this. Currently, the division has two research teams: “Mechanics and materials” (M&M) and "Digitalized development and operation of sustainable products and production systems" (DPPD) and is responsible for four engineering programmes (three at bachelor and one at master’s level). We are looking to recruit a highly motivated associate senior lecturer to join our DPPD team and help further strengthen and develop high-quality education and research within the area of digitalized product and production development.

An associate senior lecturer is also expected to contribute to the university’s development. Such contributions include (and is not necessarily limited to) the development and management of new courses and programs, particularly concerning computer science as needed in the context of mechanical engineering.

Teaching duties may include programming, database management in engineering applications, System-of-Systems development, and production process modelling.

Research duties will include contributing to the development of research funding applications, writing project reports and supporting on-going digital twin research. Research duties further include the development of models of production processes or system risk and reliability models. This will include developing software systems to access and analyse data in engineering databases, CAD models, and from sensors on mechanical engineering equipment.
