PhD position in Electrical Machines and Drives for automotive applications

The Department of Energy and Environment announces a PhD position within the Division of Electrical Power Engineering. The Electrical Power Engineering research group is heavily involved in research towards automotive applications, with the aim to reduce the environmental impact of transportation. The group is also active in the Swedish Hybrid Vehicle Center´s focus areas, Electrical Machines and Drives. This PhD-project is a cooperation between Volvo Cars and the Division.

Aim of work
The aim of the PhD student work is to develop well and suitable simulation models of the electric drive and battery system for integration with the mechanical and safety systems in hybrid electrical vehicles. Also utilize the models (standard for engine, electric drive and battery system) transformed to an automotive context to simulate energy balance and transient fault conditions. The models should be suitable for a co-simulation of a premium “2017-state-of-the-art low volume production car” with “Green, Safe & Connected”-functionality ready for high volume production year 2020.

Phd scholarship in GeoBiosphere Sciences, Geology at Lund University, Sweden We have an opening for a Phd scholarship for a highly motivated person to join our research on a high-grade metamorphic section of the Sveconorwegian orogen. It is the Scandinavian equivalent to the Grenville orogen, and the result of collision tectonics at around 1 Ga ago during the assembly of supercontinent Rodinia. The project area in SW Sweden exposes a window into one of the deepest buried and most ductile parts of this mountain chain. The high-grade deformational and metamorphic processes are considered to be of major importance in the evolution and structural build-up of the orogen. (more…)
