Luleå University of Technology, a leading institution in the Arctic region, is offering a postdoctoral position focused on intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable industrial systems. The successful candidate will contribute to two major European research projects, UPPRAISE and MEDUSA, which aim to advance digital transformation in both educational and industrial contexts. The research involves AI-assisted automation engineering, digital twins, semantic modeling, secure data exchange, and reconfigurable production architectures. Collaboration with industrial and academic partners is central, as is participation in the AIC³ lab, an advanced test environment for future industrial and cyber-physical systems. Duties include developing AI-based educational platforms, secure and intelligent industrial automation systems, semantic models, decision-support tools for energy-aware planning and predictive maintenance, and multi-agent distributed control systems using technologies like IEC 61499 and real-time simulation. Robotics, autonomous systems, and digital twins will be used to automate and optimize industrial processes. The position is highly interdisciplinary, contributing to Europe’s digital and green transition, and involves research, publications, collaboration, and educational activities. Applicants must have a PhD in Computer Science, Automation, Electronics, Mechatronics, Industrial IT, or a related field, awarded within the last three years (unless special circumstances apply). Required skills include scientific publications in relevant areas, experience in industrial digital systems, knowledge of industrial communication protocols, distributed control systems, real-time and cyber-physical systems, digital twins, semantic modeling, energy-aware planning, programming, and excellent English proficiency. Additional merits include experience with robotics, building automation, XR environments, digital twins, and participation in EU or international projects. The position is full-time, fixed term for two years, with possible extension, and is based in Luleå. Funding is provided according to university standards. The application deadline is October 15, 2025. For further information, contact Professor Evgeny Osipov. Applications should include a CV, personal letter, and verified diplomas, and be submitted in English or Swedish via the provided application link.

Luleå University of Technology, located in Sweden, is offering a postdoctoral position focused on the development of intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable industrial systems. The university is recognized for its world-leading competence in several research areas and is actively involved in large-scale projects aimed at creating a fossil-free society. The research subject centers on the integrated development of network architectures, resource-efficient algorithms, and programming paradigms to enable dependable communication and computation systems tailored to specific applications. The successful candidate will work on one or both of two major European research projects: UPPRAISE and MEDUSA. These projects aim to advance intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable industrial systems, with research areas including AI-assisted automation engineering, digital twins, semantic modeling, secure data exchange, and reconfigurable production architectures. The work is conducted in collaboration with leading industrial and academic partners within Horizon Europe initiatives, with LTU playing a key role in technical development and scientific coordination. In addition to project work, the postdoc will contribute to research activities within the AIC³ lab (Automation, Industrial Computing, Communication, and Control Laboratory), which serves as an advanced test environment for future industrial systems and cyber-physical environments. The overarching goal is to develop robust, distributed, and intelligent control systems for digital and sustainable industrial infrastructures. Duties include developing and integrating advanced digital solutions for educational systems (UPPRAISE) and industrial applications (MEDUSA and AIC³), contributing to AI-based educational platforms, developing secure and intelligent industrial automation systems, creating semantic models, implementing decision-support tools for energy-aware planning and predictive maintenance, developing multi-agent and distributed control systems, and using robotics and digital twins to automate and optimize industrial processes. The position involves collaboration with academic and industrial partners, technical innovation, and dissemination of knowledge. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field awarded within the last three years, scientific publications in related areas, experience in applied research or development of industrial digital systems, knowledge of industrial communication protocols, and proficiency in English. Additional merits include experience with robotics, XR environments, and participation in international projects. The position is full-time, fixed term for two years, with the possibility of extension. The application deadline is October 16, 2025. Interested candidates should apply via the provided website, submitting a CV, personal letter, and verified diplomas, and mark their application with the reference number.
