About this position

Urban Water Engineering at Luleå University of Technology is offering a PhD position focused on making urban drainage maintenance more data-driven and environmentally responsible. The project sits within the Urban Water Engineering research group in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Natural resources engineering, and combines experimental work with theoretical analysis in an international research environment.

The doctoral research examines how smart monitoring and predictive modelling can improve the understanding and management of sediment accumulation in urban drainage infrastructure. The student will work with high-resolution sensors and long-term monitoring to capture sediment dynamics across rainfall events and seasons, then use the resulting data to build models that estimate sediment build-up and remaining infrastructure functionality.

The project is motivated by the need to reduce pollutant transport from urban areas to receiving waters. It focuses on key infrastructure such as gully pots and stormwater ponds, which retain sediments and associated contaminants but require better operation and maintenance strategies. By improving knowledge of when and where maintenance is needed, the project aims to support more efficient urban water management and reduce impacts on coastal and marine environments.

The position also involves collaboration with stakeholders in the water and wastewater industry, and communication of results through LTU’s competence network as well as with international researchers. The doctoral student will have access to advanced laboratory equipment and work under supervision within an established research environment.

Funding details

Secure employment as a doctoral student with solid funding opportunities; employment limited to 4 years, with teaching and other departmental duties adding up to 20% extra time.

What's required

Applicants should have an MSc degree or equivalent, or fully completed course requirements of at least 240 ECTS of which at least 60 ECTS are at an advanced level, in water and environment, environmental engineering, natural resources engineering, civil engineering, or an equivalent field. Meritorious experience includes stormwater management, hydraulics/hydrology, statistics, machine learning, thermodynamics (e.g. heat transfer processes), programming, and sensor-based monitoring. Candidates should be able to work independently, take initiative, and explore new research areas. English language skills are required, and Swedish/Scandinavian language skills are beneficial. A driver’s license is meritorious. Applicants should be prepared to provide contact details for at least two referees upon request.
