Luleå University of Technology is growing rapidly with world-leading expertise in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and groundbreaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefits. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of almost SEK 2.1 billion per year. We are currently 1,900 employees and have 18,700 students. In the coming years, billions of kronor will be invested in Norrbotten and Västerbotten in major projects aimed at a more sustainable society nationally as well as globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these highly topical research projects and the social transformation that follows. We have a wide range of programs to match the skills that are in demand. We hope you will help us build the sustainable businesses and societies of the future. The internationally leading research group in Urban Water Engineering at Luleå University of Technology is now looking for a new postdoc in the field of stormwater management. Working within the VINNOVA-funded competence center DRIZZLE for stormwater management provides an opportunity for close collaboration with companies, municipalities and researchers to conduct needs-driven research to future-proof urban stormwater systems and contribute to long-term sustainable living environments in cities. The Urban Water Engineering research group is a world leader in research and education on urban water systems, with a special focus on stormwater, wastewater and treatment using nature-based solutions. The overall goal of the group is to contribute to the development of sustainable urban water systems. Being part of the group means working in an international and creative environment, with about 45 employees from 20 different countries, including Swedish and international adjunct professors and 25 PhD students. Subject description Urban water engineering covers the entire urban water system (storm, drinking and wastewater) with regard to collection, transport and treatment as well as organization/planning. The research aims at a good socio-economy and environment, wise use of resources and the safety and health of citizens. Project description Climate change is affecting weather and precipitation patterns around the world, leading to increasing challenges in managing stormwater in a sustainable way. Adapting our cities to future climate conditions requires new information on what rainfall patterns can be expected and how this information can be translated for use in the design of urban drainage systems. This project will explore the downscaling of data from climate models to a level of detail suitable for urban drainage and how the expected performance of urban drainage systems under varying conditions can be modeled. Work tasks The tasks as a postdoc are varied. You work independently to plan and carry out your studies and write scientific articles, in collaboration with industry and other project partners. In between, you will participate in seminars and conferences in Sweden and internationally. In addition, you may have the opportunity to try out the role of teacher and administrative tasks may also occur (up to 20% of full-time). You will have two supervisors at your side. Qualifications To be eligible for employment, you must have a PhD or equivalent foreign degree in water resources engineering, water resources science, civil engineering or other degree deemed equivalent. It is an advantage if your degree was obtained no more than three years before the closing date for applications for this position. If there are special reasons, those who have obtained a doctoral degree earlier may be considered, for example in the case of various types of statutory leave. The applicant needs to have the ability to work independently, take initiative and independently initiate new research areas. Experience in programming, modeling of urban drainage systems and blue-green infrastructure and downscaling of climate data is required. Experience in uncertainty management, data management (e.g. data quality, metadata, etc.) is advantageous. Knowledge of English is necessary to be able to present research results at international conferences and in scientific publications. Knowledge of Swedish is an advantage, as many contacts are with Swedish municipalities and companies. You must be able to provide contact details for two referees upon request. Information to be provided This position is a full-time position for two years. The place of employment is Luleå. Planned start date: September 2025.
