About this position

Örebro University is offering a doctoral position in Mechanical Engineering with a specialisation in wire drawing. The project is based at the School of Science and Technology and is designed to support a doctoral degree through research on more efficient, robust, and sustainable wire drawing processes.

The research focuses on steel wire production and on how to improve resource efficiency, material performance, and environmental impact in industrial manufacturing. Working in close collaboration with the wire drawing industry, the doctoral project connects fundamental scientific questions with practical challenges in production. A key emphasis is the development and evaluation of innovative drawing tools and a deeper understanding of process behaviour.

The doctoral student will investigate how material properties, process conditions, lubrication, and tooling interact to affect process performance, tool wear, and wire quality. The work combines experimental studies of wire drawing processes and tool behaviour with sensor-based measurements, data analysis, and modelling.

As part of the project, the student will plan and conduct experiments, analyse data, develop models, and communicate results through scientific publications and presentations. The research environment is interdisciplinary, bringing together mechanical engineering, manufacturing technology, materials engineering, measurement technology, modelling, and control engineering.

The position is supervised by Christer Korin and Joakim Larsson. The programme includes courses and an independent research project leading to a doctoral thesis, within a research setting that supports the green transition and next-generation wire drawing technologies.

Funding details

Full-time doctoral studentship linked to the programme for four years; initial salary SEK 32,300 per month (salary period 2025-2026).

What's required

Applicants must be eligible for admission to the doctoral programme in Mechanical Engineering. The application must include a CV, copies of the original certificate and official transcript for a Bachelor's degree, copies of the original certificate and official transcript for a Master's degree, an independent project (degree project), and other relevant documents and certificates verifying eligibility.
