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...

About this position

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance solar energy solutions suited to Scandinavian climates. The project focuses on photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems and air-based heat recovery, combining experimental investigation with advanced computational modelling.

The researcher will use high-performance computing, computational fluid dynamics and system-level energy simulations to study and optimise PVT system configurations and operation under Nordic conditions. The work includes designing and conducting measurement campaigns, applying thermal imaging to assess heat transfer and solar performance, validating numerical models against monitored data, and analysing how systems perform in cold climates.

The role is situated within KTH’s School of Architecture and Built Environment and involves collaboration with academic and industrial partners. In addition to developing and validating models, the researcher will contribute to scientific publications and work in an interdisciplinary research environment linking solar energy, thermal engineering, building energy systems, experimentation and sustainable technology.

Funding details

The position is a full-time temporary postdoctoral appointment of up to two years with a monthly salary. The postdoctoral researcher will perform 20% teaching and department duties. Specific salary amount and additional funding details are not stated.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree by the employment decision and have a PhD in solar energy, thermal engineering, building energy systems or a closely related field. Required experience includes research in photovoltaic-thermal or related solar-thermal technologies, experimental design and measurement methods, CFD, numerical energy-system modelling, HPC workflows, thermal imaging and quantitative experimental-data analysis. Applicants must communicate research results effectively in English. Preferred qualifications include a doctorate obtained within the three years before the deadline, research on air-based PVT systems or cold/Nordic climates, instrument installation, uncertainty analysis, model calibration, Swedish-language skills, and awareness of diversity and equal-opportunity issues. Strong personal skills are emphasised.

How to apply

Log into KTH’s recruitment system and submit a complete application by midnight CET/CEST on 31 December 2026. Include a CV, diplomas and grades with translations where required, and a maximum two-page statement explaining your research motivation, academic interests, and relation to past studies and future goals.
