School of Business, Innovation and Sustainability
The University consists of four interdisciplinary academies and the current position is located at the School of Business, Innovation and Sustainability (FIH). Here you get to work in a research and educational environment with a focus on sustainable development and entrepreneurship. The school trains future economists, engineers, environmental scientists and biologists. The school has approximately 120 employees and consists of five departments, the department of Biomechanics and Mechanical Engineering, the department of Construction and Energy Engineering, the department of Business Studies, the department of Environmental and Biosciences and the department of Innovation Management. FIH offers education at the undergraduate and advanced level, as well as doctoral education in the field of Innovation Sciences. The research is multidisciplinary and often takes place in co-production with other actors.

Work assignments

The recruited person will carry out research, both independently and in collaboration with other members of the functional surfaces research group at the School for Business, Innovation and Sustainability (BIS). The person is also expected to develop their pedagogical competence and take part in teaching and supervision up to 20% of the duty.

International and national future industry expect to an increasingly extent introduce digital manufacturing technologies such as Additive manufacturing (AM). One of the special needs and challenges for AM introduction lies in the field of quality assurance, (mainly surfaces and material properties) and the connection to functional properties and manufacturing control.  Surface quality assurance has for a long time been a recognized research topic at FIH and the applicant is expected to continue develop technologies and strategies for quality control of AM production.

Life-long learning/re- and up-skilling is a research topic also for future industry to enable the work force to develop and adopt new skills and especially in the digital manufacturing including the AM-area. Industry4.0 and 5.0 are commonly known terms where the transformation of today’s industry to tomorrows future industry is concerned. The applicant should together with a team of 13 Swedish Universities lead by researchers from BIS develop and research concepts for up-skilling in Digital manufacturing as knowledge transfer from Academia to society. Here, one of the main tasks would be to participate in developing concepts for net based AM-teaching (e-learning) in particular and digital manufacturing -Industry4.0 in general.

Qualifications based on the employment regulation
The applicant must hold a doctoral degree in Production- or Mechanical Engineering or in closely related fields.

A postdoc position requires that the doctoral degree was awarded within three years of the application deadline

Additional requirements:
The applicant must demonstrate:

- A publication track record in the fields of Additive manufacturing, Surface- and product quality assurance, and knowledge transfer/up-skilling to industry using digital tools.
- Ability to conduct research of high quality in additive manufacturing and surface structure and properties.
- Documented experience from research in collaboration with industrial partners and/or interdisciplinary teams       
- Oral and written proficiency in English

It is meriting to show: 

- Documented teaching experience, in particular e-learning
- Experience of supervision of student theses
- Experience in the process of writing research project applications
- Involvement in projects in related to dental implants engineering

Other information:

We are looking for a dynamic and curious person who can take independent responsibility and work in teams with colleagues and industrial partners.

Salary
Salary is to be settled by negotiation. The application should include a statement of the salary level required by the candidate.
