PHD RESEARCH POSITION FOR BIG DATA ANALYTICS
The Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications at the Linnaeus University
Position available: Full-time temporary employment limited to a maximum of five years on the research topic: “Big Data Analytics for Insights into Professional Product Life Cycle”
We are looking to partner with a PhD student who will utilize Big Data to allow us to map the life cycle of our products and switch from a reactive to proactive approach in product development, production, maintenance and repair.
Together with you, we seek to grow and create sustainable experience for people and the world around us, in food, beverage and laundry. Big Data will enable us to analyze and understand the events occurring during the lifetime of our equipment, from birth to replacement. With this in-depth understanding, we expect to create benefits internally, for our customers, and the world around us.
The industry PhD-student will be employed at Electrolux Professional and enrolled in the graduate program at Linnaeus University.

PHD RESEARCH POSITION FOR THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF TEXTILES
The Department of Technology Management and Economics at the Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden
Application submission closed: 28.01.2018
Position available: Full-time temporary employment limited to a maximum of five years
The holder of this position will engage in environmental systems analysis and behavioural research in the HSB Living Lab, a unique research arena located at the Chalmers University Campus in Gothenburg, Sweden, in which research is done in collaboration between academia, industry and local government. A key area of the lab is the Electrolux Laundry Studio, in which all energy and water flows are monitored. Laundries are important for the environment on account of the water, electric power and detergent they consume, the wastewater they generate and the damage they do to clothing.
The researcher will in the Living Lab collect data by observations of behaviours and attitude measurements using surveys, interviews and experimental methods. The researcher will contribute to knowledge regarding the actual behavioural patterns of laundry users, compare the reported with actual habits, and attempt to influence them by various cues and nudging approaches. The researcher will monitor resource and pollution flows and use this information construct a comprehensive assessment of garment life cycles (LCA) under various behavioural scenarios.
