PhD student in space geodesy and geodynamics
Ref REF 2023-0665
To reliably monitor the Earth's ever-changing state, from earthquakes to climate change, it is necessary to have access to very precise measurements expressed in a stable, uniform and consistent terrestrial reference frame. The ITRF is the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, the standard reference frame recommended by a number of international scientific organisations: it is built from the measurements of four space geodetic techniques and consists of a set of coordinates, corresponding to each of the technique station positions. The four space geodetic techniques used are Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), and Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS).
The Space Geodesy and Geodynamics (SGG) unit of the Onsala Space Observatory is leading various research projects involving the use of the c5++ software package, able to process and combine data from SLR, GNSS, and VLBI. With the advent of space missions carrying the four space geodetic techniques, a software package that can process data from all four techniques opens the possibility of research based on multi-technique combinations, making the necessary next step of c5++ development to be the implementation of DORIS.
Information about the research division and the project
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to develop the DORIS segment (data processing and implementation in the c5++ software package) at the Onsala Space Observatory. The research topics to be addressed are primarily the fields of DORIS, space geodetic technique combination, reference frames, geocenter, earth rotation and orientation, and global geodynamics. The PhD project is divided into two phases. The first phase will allow the student to acquire knowledge on the space geodetic technique DORIS and its data processing using the GEODYN software package, which is developed by the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) of NASA, in the USA. Then, the student will apply the knowledge acquired in the previous phase to implement DORIS in the c5++ software package in collaboration with colleagues from Japan who originally developed the software package.
The PhD position is in the research group for Space Geodesy and Geodynamics. Together we work to increase knowledge on how to best achieve a long-term sustainable planet. Our main working places are the Onsala Space Observatory, 40 km south of Gothenburg, and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as a PhD student are to pursue your own doctoral studies and to become an independent researcher. You are expected to develop and conduct your own research at the frontier of space geodesy and in particular DORIS, in combination to other space geodetic techniques. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing, primarily in English. You are expected to write a licentiate thesis within 2–3 years and to defend your doctoral thesis within 4–5 years. The position generally may also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.
Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field, such as Geodesy, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Engineering Physics, Mathematics, Engineering Mathematics, Geophysics or an equivalent education.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

PhD student - diagnostics and modeling of gas-solids flow
Ref REF 2023-0647
The open PhD candidate position aims at obtaining unique experimental insight into gas-solids flow to facilitate the formulation of efficient large-scale simulations. Modeling of gas-solids flow is central for both advance in the scientific field of multiphase flow and development of industrial sectors applying gas-solids operations (e.g., energy, chemicals, pharmaceutics, metallurgy). The research work combines unique advanced experimental methods and state-of-the-art strategies in numerical modeling.
Project description
Modeling of gas-solids flow is currently limited by: i) insufficient reliability due to inaccurate descriptions of the flow parameters at the micro-scale, and ii) unaffordable computational costs of full-scale simulations. Having this, this project serves the purpose of developing reliable modeling of gas-solids flow by experimentally gaining novel knowledge of the gas-solids flow at the micro-scale and use it to improve the critical modeling expressions for sub-grid momentum transfer with validated descriptions. This is a critical aspect, since micro-scale gas-solids flow phenomena remain largely unknown despite they are recognized to govern the flow picture at the larger scales. To experimentally access the micro-scale, a unique and novel technique based on THz-radar will be employed which recently demonstrated unprecedented levels of resolution, accuracy, and penetration. Regarding the achievement of full-scale simulations at significantly lowered computing cost, the project will investigate application of state-of-the-art strategies in numerical modeling (recurrence computational fluid-dynamics and deep learning) to the field of gas-solids flow, departing from the improved flow formulation at the micro-scale.
The project is a collaboration between the division of Energy Technology and the division of Fluid Dynamics. The division of Energy Technology, which hosts a long and world-wide recognized expertise in the field of gas-solids fluidization for energy conversion applications, has driven the implementation of the radar-based measurement technique to diagnose solids flows. The division of Fluid Dynamics, which holds a front-running research group in modeling of multiphase flow, develops novel methods for the effectivization of large-scale simulations.
The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council through a research project grant.
Major responsibilities
As a PhD student your main responsibility is to manage your own doctoral studies, which includes the project research but also to undertake doctoral courses. A successful doctoral programme leading to the obtention of the doctoral degree is equivalent to four years of full-time studies, which includes the cited research and coursework, and also participation in seminars and conferences. Further, considering teaching duties, the position is expected to be five years-long in total.
You are expected to plan and organize your work, to work in close collaboration with other group members and partners, and to be able to communicate scientific results in English, both orally and in written form.
Qualifications
To qualify for the position, you need to have a MSc degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant technical field and with a proven interest in fluid dynamics. An excellent academic track record and strong motivation and commitment to scientific inquiry are expected.
Excellent writing and communication in English, and high social and cooperation skills are required.
Further, we value possession of general programming skills, experience in experimental work and research labs, in CFD modeling, and in gas-solids flows.
