Doctoral student in BIM - Under tillsättning eller tillsatt, ej sökbar

Jönköping University is a young professional-oriented university characterized by a high degree of internationalization, an entrepreneurial spirit and extensive collaboration with surrounding society. It is one of three Swedish private, non-profit institutions of higher education with the right to award doctorates.

The School of Engineering is one of four schools within Jönköping University. We offer an attractive technical education at undergraduate and graduate levels and conduct advanced research in several technological areas. The School of Engineering has the right to award doctorates in industrial product realization. We collaborate with the surrounding society to develop new technology and spread knowledge to strengthen the competitiveness of companies. Working with us, you are close to colleagues in an international environment with great opportunities to influence and develop.

The department of Construction Engineering and Lighting Science offers graduate and post-graduate education. The department has an active research environment with research focusing on knowledge intensive product realisation and digitalisation (Building Information Modelling, BIM) with a strong focus on the interaction between humans and (lighting/building) products. In our efforts to become a national hub for lighting research we are currently looking for a PhD candidate for the first phase of the Eval4Light project (Licentiate, 3 years).

The department is looking for committed Doctoral students in Building Information Modelling, BIM

Job description

Where in the preceding project Map4Light (https://ju.se/en/research/research-groups/construction-engineering-and-lighting-science/research-projects/map4light.html) prototype tools were used to generate light environment proposals, in the Eval4Light project, additional software tools will be used for evaluation of such proposals. The use of these tools enables assessment of the light environment regarding energy performance and the effect on human health and well-being (vision/beyond vision).

As a doctoral student, the focus of your work will be research execution combined with a research education in a third-cycle education program. The third-cycle subject area for admission will most likely be ‘Machine Design’ / ‘Product and Production Development’ within the Graduate School in Industrial Product Realisation at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University. All though research will be the main task for you (80 percent of full-time work) you will, to a limited extent, get opportunities to participate in teaching on first- and second-cycle education courses, or administration. 

Entry requirements

A person meets the general entry requirements for third-cycle program at the School of Engineering if he or she has been awarded a second-cycle qualification and has fulfilled the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle or has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.

The ideal candidate for the PhD-position has knowledge of Building Information Modelling/Management (BIM) and is eager to execute experimental computational modelling work to assess the light environment and its data information flows regarding energy performance and effects on human health and well-being

To be eligible for the position you should also:

• have communication skills in the English language are good and you can articulate yourself clearly both orally and in writing.
• have planning, analysis, and writing skills demonstrate that you are a critical person with an eye for detail and accuracy.
• be systematic in your approach and are stimulated by cooperation as well as taking great responsibility and reaching your goals.
• be reflective about your work and communicative with your colleagues.

Further competences that are considered meritorious are:

• knowledge of the Swedish language is an advantage since part of the research will involve product documentation and standards in Swedish.
• experience in working with sensory and lighting control systems.
• knowledge and skills regarding lighting and (energy) data analysis.
• knowledge and skills regarding Linked Data.
• knowledge regarding the Swedish (and global) light and building industry.
• experience with (co-)writing or contributing to scientific publications.

Information

We offer a fully financed full-time position which is limited in accordance with applicable collective agreement for doctoral students. The start date of the employment is October 1st, 2022. The employment as a doctoral student normally covers five years, of which four years (80%) consist of full-time studies. The employment is extended annually based on the individual study plan. The salary is regulated according to a special doctoral student ladder.

The School of Engineering encourages applications from both female and male applicants. We are actively working to have a more balanced distribution between male and female researchers.

Application

We look forward to receiving your application no later than 2022-07-31.

You submit your application through our recruitment system.
Appendences are preferred in PDF form and should include:
