About this position

The Department of Production Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting four PhD students for research in sustainable, digital, and advanced manufacturing. Two highlighted positions are: (1) Doctoral student in machining with a focus on process and functional surfaces, and (2) Doctoral student in Production Systems Modelling, in collaboration with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.

The machining position focuses on advanced component manufacturing, high-precision machining, process optimisation, and functional surface characterisation. Research activities include experimental metrology, high-resolution sensor data analysis, process modelling, simulation, and data-driven methods. The student will join the Manufacturing and Metrology Systems unit and the Precision Engineering and Metrology (PEM) group, working closely with industry partners through Centre X.

The Production Systems Modelling position advances digital-twin-based frameworks for production and logistics, enabling improved analysis, simulation, and data-driven decision-making in complex industrial environments. The project is part of a strategic partnership with NTU, and the student will spend up to one year at NTU. Research areas include manufacturing systems, digitalization, multimodal data, and AI. The student will join the Production Logistics research group and collaborate with partners in Sweden, South Korea, Singapore, the US, and Taiwan.

Applicants must have a relevant master's degree or equivalent, strong English skills, and a background in mechanical, production, or industrial engineering, or computer science. Experience in control systems, metrology, machine tools, modelling, simulation, AI, or digital twins is beneficial. The positions are fully funded, with monthly salary and employee benefits according to KTH’s doctoral student salary agreement. Employment is full-time for up to four years, with opportunities for international research collaboration and a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.

Application requires certified diplomas, transcripts, proof of language proficiency, CV, application letter, and relevant publications. The deadline for applications is 30 April 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the KTH job portal.
