This doctoral project is based in the Division for Concrete Structures at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and sits within the third-cycle subject of Civil and Architectural Engineering. The research focuses on hydraulic design of hydropower structures, with particular attention to hydro dam bottom outlets. These outlets are critical for dam safety and operation because they are used for emergency lowering of reservoir water levels and may also be used when spillway overflow occurs. The project...

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting a doctoral student for research on the structural rehabilitation of concrete hydro dams within the Division for Concrete Structures at the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering. The project focuses on reinforced concrete structures used in hydropower, especially spillways and related concrete elements that have been exposed to decades of varying water flows and, in some cases, extreme high-flow events. The research aims to improve under...

This doctoral project is based in the Division for Concrete Structures at KTH Civil and Architectural Engineering and focuses on the structural health monitoring of reinforced concrete dams used in hydropower. The research addresses the ageing of dams in Sweden and elsewhere, where long service lives can lead to cracking, leaching, surface wear, and more difficult-to-detect damage such as reinforcement corrosion. The project aims to improve understanding of how concrete dams respond during norma...

About this position

Linnaeus University is offering a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Building Technology, based in Växjö, Sweden. The research focuses on the climate change implications of wood-based construction products and buildings and is conducted jointly through the Department of Building Technology and the Department of Forestry and Wood Technology.

The postdoctoral fellow will join a multidisciplinary research team examining climate impacts across the full value chain of wood-based construction. This includes forest management, raw material extraction, primary and secondary processing, construction, the building use phase, co-product management, and end-of-life processes.

A central task is the systematic and decision-relevant synthesis of existing research. The fellow will identify consistencies, contradictions, uncertainties, and the effects of differing parameters, assumptions, system boundaries, and methodological choices in studies of wood-based building systems. The work will also examine how these differences influence the robustness and comparability of results available to policymakers, regulators, industry practitioners, and other decision-makers.

The project is funded by Formas and collaborates with Chalmers University of Technology and the Forestry Research Institute of Sweden (Skogforsk). The fellowship is also connected to the Knowledge Foundation-funded Competitive Timber Structures research profile and the Linnaeus University Centre for Competitive Timber Structures (LnuC TiSt). The research environment combines academic and industry collaboration to support sustainable timber solutions and the green transition of the construction sector.

The fellow will participate in departmental research networks, national expert workshops, project events, scientific publishing, and dissemination activities related to life cycle environmental performance, material flow analysis, carbon footprinting, and life cycle assessment of buildings and construction materials.

Funding details

This is a full-time postdoctoral fellowship for a maximum of two years. The post does not state a salary or specific stipend amount.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Building Technology, Wood Technology, or a related field, or an equivalent foreign degree, completed no more than three years before the application deadline and no later than the appointment decision. Candidates must have experience conducting systematic literature reviews during their PhD and applying material flow analysis, carbon footprint, and life cycle assessment methodologies and tools to wood in building systems. A strong understanding of wood material production, building systems, and the environmental implications of construction materials is required. Applicants must not previously have been employed as a postdoctoral fellow for more than one year in the same or a related subject area at Linnaeus University. Research experience in Building Technology and environmental performance of buildings, teamwork and collaboration skills, research collaboration with universities, research institutes, or industry, and relevant teaching experience are considered merits. Good written and spoken English is required; Swedish is advantageous.

How to apply

Apply through the Apply button at the bottom of the vacancy page. Follow the university's application template, digitally attach certified credentials and other required documents including scientific works, and mark the application materials with reference number HR-2026/1451. Materials must be received by 23:59 Swedish local time on November 15, 2026.
