Welcome to Linnaeus University! We meet the societal challenges of today and tomorrow in a spirit of openness, curiosity and creativity. By creating arenas for exchange of knowledge from different subjects, fields and cultures, we open up for new ideas and create new opportunities for long-term sustainable societal development. Linnaeus University – where people grow.
The Faculty of Technology has a wide range of activities spanning nine different departments through which Linnaeus University provides education and conducts research. The courses in technology cover everything from short courses of a few weeks or months to five-year Master of Science in Engineering courses. The research responds to society's needs in several broad fields - both in the short and long term - with basic research and applied research in collaboration with stakeholders.
The department of Building Technology has extensive collaboration with business partners in research and education. The department works together with the neighboring departments for a creative environment with challenging educations and outstanding research. Research in building technology includes wood building technology, steel, concrete and composite construction technology, building physics, historical structures, structural health monitoring, life cycle analysis and building materials.
The doctoral position is part of the research profile Competitive timber structures, which contributes to the green transition of the construction sector.
Further substitution of non-renewable construction materials with wood is needed and this, in turn, requires wood-based products and structures to be improved with respect to resource efficiency, performance, cost-effectiveness and circularity.
Admitted to: Building Technology
Type and terms of employment: The employment as a doctoral student is limited according to chapter 5, section 7 of the Higher Education Ordinance. The total employment period may not be longer than the equivalent full-time postgraduate studies of four years. The Higher Education Ordinance states that those who are employed as PhD students must primarily engage in their own education. However, an employee may to limited extent work with education and administration. Such work may, before the doctoral degree has been completed, not cover more than 20% of full-time work.
Location: Växjö
Start: Access by agreement.
Work description
The PhD student will focus on numerical and experimental investigations of wood-based composite floor systems and their connections. Structural analysis of the floor systems (incl. connections), as part of an holistic approach including fire design, acoustics and the architectural engineering perspective covered by other project partners, is used to develop optimized wood-based floor systems. The work should give new insights into the requirements for improved engineered wood products to be used in resource efficient composite floor elements. The work should contribute to the development of competitive floor and connection systems, with a focus on the detachability and reuse of the elements at the end of their service life. The work should also contribute to the development of standard solutions and design models to be implemented in application rules. It will include mathematical modelling, including finite element modelling, as well as planning and realization of laboratory experiments and on-side investigations. The work will include close collaboration with industry partners and partners from other research disciplines.
As a part of the training the PhD student will take courses as agreed with the supervisors.
The Higher Education Ordinance states that a person who is employed, as a PhD student should primarily devote himself/herself to his/her own studies. However, an employee may to a limited extent work with education, research and administration. Such work may, before the doctoral degree has completed, not cover more than 20% of a full-time work.
