Industrial PhD within spray research at Chalmers. i Sodertalje

Scania is a world-leading provider of transport solutions. Together with our partners and customers we are driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system. In 2016, we delivered 73,100 trucks, 8,300 buses as well as 7,800 industrial and marine engines to our customers. Net sales totaled nearly SEK 104 billion, of which about 20 percent were services-related. Founded in 1891, Scania now operates in more than 100 countries and employs some 46,000 people. Research and development are concentrated to Sweden, with branches in Brazil and India. Production takes place in Europe, Latin America and Asia, with regional production centers in Africa, Asia and Eurasia. Scania is part of Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH.

Om tjänsten

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Internal combustion engines are the most important energy converter for long haulage trucks but the demands for improved energy efficiency and low environmental impact put strong pressure on improved ICE properties. We believe that the ICE will meet future demands if we invest in research and development and one important goal is improve the spray driven combustion.

Our group at Scania is responsible for research and pre-development of combustion systems for our future IC engines. This includes developing technical solutions that leads to improved energy efficiency and decreased fuel consumption. We are also responsible for Scania cooperation within the SICEC (Swedish Internal Combustion Engine Consortium) where CERC (Combustion Engine Research Center) at Chalmers university is competence centre for Spray research.

We are now looking for a PhD candidate within spray research.  The research will mainly be carried out at Chalmers in Gothenburg and partly at Scania in Södertälje.

Objectives

The main objective is to analyse and explain the spray brake-up phenomena with the goal to improve spray modelling / simulation and finally to improve future internal combustion engines.

Coordination

The project is coordinated jointly between Scania fuel system Scania combustion development and Chalmers. 

The intention is to carry out the major part of this project in close cooperation with CERC.

What we can offer you
As an industrial PhD you are an employee at Scania. Your time and location will be split between Scania, Södertälje, and Chalmers, Gothenburg. After your PhD exam, you will be offered a job within research / development departments at Scania.

Your Profile

You have a Master of Engineering degree, with theoretical knowledge of Internal combustion engines, thermodynamics, fluid mechanic and modelling. You are curious, interested in ICE development, advanced diagnostics and have practical background within engines and testing.

Time chedule

Target is to start Q2-Q3 2018 and reach PhD degree within 4-5 years.
