We are looking for a PhD student in Infrainformatics with focus Rescue and Response Systems
Your work assignments
Volunteers are increasingly seen as societal resources, in Sweden and internationally, including emergency management, first response and crisis management. You will be a part of the research programme “Effective Response at the Future Incident Site” which is carried out at the Center for Advanced Research in Emergency Response (CARER), an inter-disciplinary research environment at LiU (https://liu.se/forskning/carer). The specific focus for the Ph.D. project is how to use volunteers as first responders at the incident site, including organizational development, systems development, planning, logistics, resource management, design/prototyping and evaluation of IT-support for volunteers.
You will have some flexibility in designing your own Ph. D. project and are at the same time expected to collaborate with other researchers at the department and in CARER. You can have a background in, for example, systems development, information systems, logistics, communication systems, risk management, organizational/business development, design science, cognitive science or computer science. The Ph. D. project will involve both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Knowledge in both types of methods is thus deemed meriting. Knowledge of the application domain emergency and crisis response is also meriting but not necessary.
