BeskrivelseThis is NTNUNTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities with headquarters in Trondheim.At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 43,000 students work to create knowledge for a better world.You can find more information about working at NTNU and the application process here.     About the jobThe postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.The energy sector is undergoing a major transformation, with the rise of renewable energy sources, like hydrogen and offshore wind, and there is a need for more efficient and sustainable production and supply chains. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things and Digital Twin are being used to improve production and supply chain management. Insufficient knowledge about how to plan and control supply chains in energy sectors represents one of the major bottleneck for the industry, and these technologies are helping to make energy production and delivery more efficient, reliable, and sustainable.The Production Management research group at NTNU’s Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering is internationally leading in research within production and logistics management and engineering, and the purpose of this post-Doc position is to expand its scope to the hydrogen-based and other renewable energy-based industries.This postdoctoral position is funded by the European project H2GLASS on “advancing Hydrogen (H2) technologies and smart production systems TO decarbonize the GLass and Aluminum SectorS” and will involve internationally renowned research institutes and industries. You will work in collaboration with SINTEF Energy.We are looking for you who want to contribute to the development of new knowledge in production and supply chain management within the energy sector. You will develop and create new knowledge on how to use digital twin models to represent the correlations between the process parameters and process performance indexes, up to the supply chain level. In H2GLASS project, through the collaboration with the other partners, process parameters will be collected in real time during production and the process performance will be predicted dynamically using the developed digital twin models. Multi-objective optimization will be conducted to seek optimized process parameters (for smart production planning and control) for achieving best overall performance at production site and supply chain level. Maintenance models will be also integrated in the process planning and optimization logic.The research will be closely integrated with the group’s research in other sectors, and it will be linked to the Logistics 4.0 Lab, Norway’s first logistics laboratory that merges digital technologies with traditional production and logistics systems, enabling researchers, practitioners, engineers, pioneers, students, and other enthusiasts to come together and collaborate on common ground.Your immediate leader is Professor Fabio SgarbossaDuties of the positionapply qualitative methodologies, such as case studies and literature reviews, to gain insight into the characteristics and challenges of the hydrogen-based industry as well as other renewable energy sectors, and develop frameworks and knowledge on digital twins for Production and Supply Chain Managementapply quantitative methodologies, such as simulation and analytical modelling, to develop decision support for the configuration, organization, planning, and control of production and maintenance activities, to study the interactions in such industrial systems and their supply chains and analyze the domain of solutionscollaboration with partners on the projectconduct independent research and publish the result in recognised scientific journals and present them at international conferencescontribute to the supervision of doctoral candidates and master studentscontribute to research activities in collaboration with industry and the Logistics 4.0 Labdisseminate the results of the research through conferences, workshops, seminars, lecturesRequired selection criteriayou must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD in operations management, supply chain management, industrial engineering or logistics.
