The Process Systems Engineering research group in the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering  is now looking for a motivated

Doctoral researcher in Process electricification 

Do you enjoy mathematics and want to use your knowledge on chemical processes to create decision-making tools for the future industry? If you are a creative and analytical person and like programming this might be something for you!

We are looking for a doctoral researcher (“PhD student”) to work on the interesting field of energy transition. In particular, we would like to understand how the plans for process electrification could be realized such that the transition of production processes and its environment is both feasible, economic and sustainable. In this work the concepts of chemical engineering, operations research and computer science will meet as you may also need to deploy machine learning to support data analytics and complex decision making processes.

Your role and goals

You will be responsible for conducting research in the area of process electrification, with a specific focus on developing collaborative models on how to link production into energy systems on the planning level. You need to work in the following topics:


	Create models that can embed the dynamics and flexibility of both processes and energy systems (e.g. power grids)
	Implement your models using state-of-the-art optimization solutions
	Analyze the relevance of energy storage options and other energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen)
	Look into the sustainability of various alternatives and embed these into decision making
	Collaborate with experts across school borders to support the topical development


For this specific position, the doctoral candidate will be expected to perform independent research, to collaborate with different groups, to present at scientific conferences, to publish in academic journals, to apply for research funding, to participate in the activities of the research group, and to assist in teaching activities (max 5% of working hours).

Your network and team

This position will be based in the Process Systems Engineering group led by Prof. Iiro Harjunkoski, which focuses on finding solutions on how to design and operate future production systems and supply chains using collaborative models and modern optimization tools, also supported by machine learning. Here, energy and sustainability play a very important role. We also collaborate with other groups to learn more about and support topics such as circularity, hydrogen economy, etc.

The unique competitive edge of the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering  in the School of Chemical Engineering is based on sustainable utilization of raw materials, designing more efficient processes and developing new materials and products. Our department’s areas of expertise enable sustainable future with high performance products and processes in circular economy and bioeconomy.
