Norway : PostDoc-PhD Research fellowship: Flexible automation in manufacturing systems IVT

Are you interested in contributing to leading-edge research and developing top competence in automation of manufacturing systems? We encourage you to apply for a 3 year Post Doc fellowship or a PhD scholarship within the research area manufacturing systems at NTNU, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, Department of Production and Quality Engineering.

 

Modern manufacturing systems are based on advanced technology and high levels of automation. The system’s ability to produce effectively at high level of automation under constantly changing demands is a key to competitiveness. Such ability does not exist yet for small batch manufacturing. The research challenge is to develop automation solutions around industrial robots to create flexibility and automatic reconfigurability to enable very fast changeovers between production batches for different products, and thus more effective and competitive manufacturing systems.

 

We are looking for a person with relevant PhD or master’s degree and interest in robotics and flexible automation in manufacturing. The fellowship holder will become part of an active, industry-focused research unit at NTNU/SINTEF within manufacturing systems. The work will be carried out within the industry led research program KUPP. The industrial partners in this program are the companies KA Raufoss and Teeness, and research partners are SINTEF Raufoss Manufacturing and NTNU.

For further information about the PhD scholarship, please contact the Head of Department, Per Schjølberg, phone +47 73 59 37 70, e-mail: per.schjolberg@ntnu.no or Professor Terje K. Lien, phone +47 73 59 37 88, e-mail terje.k.lien@ntnu.no .

 

An application inclusive CV, project description (1-2 pages), grade transcripts, reference letters and other enclosures should be sent electronically through http://www.jobbnorge.no , ref.no. IVT - 157/09. Preferably, we want the attachments in one file. Application deadline: January 15, 2010.
