This postdoctoral project focuses on the techno-economic analysis of resilient urban energy systems for the south-eastern districts of Uppsala. The work addresses a real planning challenge for one of Sweden’s largest urban development projects, with the results intended to support municipal decision-making as the district is built out. The successful candidate will work on concepts for supplying a new urban district with both heat and electricity in a way that remains robust under disruptions. T...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
