Chalmers letar ny kollega till vår Kårrestaurang på Campus Johanneberg.

About us  At the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/me/, we unite the power of technology, people, and society to drive the transition toward a sustainable future. Through research, education, and collaboration, we create solutions that connect materials to mobility, ideas to impact – shaping a resilient and sustainable world. We make impact. The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/me/research/marine-technology/ develops knowledge and solutions for the sustainable maritime systems of the future and a fossil-free society. Through interdisciplinary research, we contribute to energy-efficient and safe marine systems with reduced negative environmental impact – from ships and underwater vehicles to offshore structures and renewable ocean energy. Job description     Renewable ocean energy is a vital component of the global transition towards fossil-free energy production and a key contributor to a sustainable future. Technologies such as floating offshore wind, wave energy converters, and floating photovoltaic systems are rapidly advancing and being deployed in offshore environments. The project assistant will contribute to three ongoing research projects within the Division of Marine Technology. These projects are conducted in close collaboration with industrial partners specialising in the development of umbilical cables, mooring systems, and installation solutions for floating renewable energy devices. Two of the projects focus on the structural integrity of highly dynamic power cables. A central challenge is to design cables that can withstand complex mechanical loading while ensuring reliable power transmission over extended service lifetimes, without the need for maintenance or replacement. The third project centres on the development of an advanced lifetime engineering simulation framework, integrating lifecycle assessment (LCA), lifecycle cost (LCC), and lifecycle performance (LCP). As the LCP module is currently under development, the project assistant will play a key role in its completion. This work will include the modelling of fatigue behaviour of mooring systems for floating offshore wind applications, as well as extending the framework to incorporate power cable performance. Who we are looking for  Join us in shaping the future of renewable ocean energy — we’re seeking a passionate and talented colleague ready to make an impact. The following requirements are mandatory:  A master’s or a doctoral degree in Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering, Marine Technology, Applied Mechanics, or an equivalent foreign degree. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.   Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.  Good programming skills in Python and in Matlab. Experience in using DNV’s software package Sesam GeniE and the Sesam softwares DeepC, HydroD, and SIMA. Experience in using ABAQUS FE software package. Experience in stress-based fatigue analysis. Personal competences in accordance with the requirements profile, including specification (e.g. social skills, meaning that you enjoy collaborating with others).   The following experience will strengthen your application:  It is highly meritorious if the doctoral degree has been obtained within the last year prior to the application deadline. Verified experience from leading projects and presenting at large international conferences. What you will do  Carry out numerical simulations using SESAM software to analyse the fully coupled hydro-mechanical response of power cables under various sea states, installation conditions, and other parameters evaluated through scenario-based studies in collaboration with industry partners. Perform thermo-mechanical assessments of power cables to quantify how structural integrity is influenced by different power transmission rates. Enhance existing finite element models and conduct stress-based and fretting fatigue analyses, using cable motion characteristics obtained from SESAM simulations. Complete the lifecycle performance (LCP) module within the lifetime engineering framework, with a primary focus on mooring systems for floating offshore wind. The framework will also be extended to include power cables. Input to the LCP module will be provided by partners in an EU-funded project. The module will be developed in MATLAB and integrated with the existing LCA and LCC components. Prepare and submit at least one conference paper and one journal article. Contribute to the preparation of project reports. Participate in project meetings and present progress and results achieved between meetings. Contract terms   The position is a temporary full-time employment for a maximum of 360 days. Starting date: ultimately September 1, but not later than October 1, 2026.

Are you excited about pioneering experimental quantum computing? Do you want to be part of a world-class research environment developing the next generation of superconducting quantum processors? We are seeking a Postdoctoral researcher to join our ambitious team at the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), based at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). About us  The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/ (MC2) advances the frontiers in quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics, and future electronic systems. Our cross-disciplinary approach drives innovations through collaborations across academia, industry, and society. We offer a vibrant, international environment with direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities. At the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/quantum-technology/ (QTL), we explore how quantum physics can unlock radically new ways of processing information. Our research spans quantum computing, sensing, transduction, and thermodynamics, aimed at harnessing the behavior of light and matter at the quantum level. About the research project   This project is a proof-of-concept effort aimed at demonstrating a reliable post-fabrication trimming process for Josephson junctions in superconducting qubits. Unlike open-ended exploratory research, this project is goal-oriented and experimentally driven. It requires both careful physical interpretation and structured technical validation. You will take primary responsibility for planning and executing the experimental program in collaboration with senior researchers. While the role does not include formal personnel management, scientific initiative and independence are highly expected. Key responsibilities include: Designing and executing cryogenic experiments. Characterizing Josephson junctions and superconducting circuits. Analyzing device behavior and degradation mechanisms. Correlating electrical performance with material properties (aging, interfaces, coherence). Contributing to reproducible superconducting qubit fabrication workflows within WACQT. The project is closely connected to ongoing superconducting quantum processor development efforts within WACQT. Who we are looking for  The following requirements are mandatory:  A PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. Strong experimental research experience in superconducting devices, quantum devices, low-temperature physics, nanoscience, or related areas.
