Beskrivning

Do you want to build an internationally strong environment within Timber Structures? Chalmers University of Technology is on an ambitious path to expand the frontiers of science and technology and has good connections to the Swedish wood and timber industry. Depending on your merits and potential, there are possibilities for generous support from both the university and industry. As a professor in Timber Structures at Chalmers, your research will contribute to Sweden being one of the top players in modern timber construction technologies. You will shape the future generations of engineers and architects to embrace timber in construction.

The position is a permanent full-time faculty position. The level ranges from Associate Professor to Full Professor, depending on your qualifications.

About the department
The Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE) has about 240 employees working on every aspect of the built environment – houses to live in, roads to travel on, and water to drink – from planning and design to construction and maintenance. Together, we provide a comprehensive environment for civil engineering and architecture which is able to tackle the challenges of building a sustainable future. We have well-equipped research and teaching labs, and for this position our Structures lab and Architecture workshop (wood workshop) are especially of interest.

About the division
The position is placed at the Division of Structural Engineering, one of ten divisions at ACE, with two research areas: Lightweight Structures (Steel and Timber Structures), and Concrete Structures. Our education and research deal with load-carrying capacity, stability, functional design and durability of structures, such as bridges and buildings. We teach in undergraduate and master's programmes within the built environment. Our international MSc programme "Structural Engineering and Building Technology" is one of the most popular at Chalmers. Competence in Timber Structures is highly requested by students, therefore education on the topic is given in several courses in several of our programs (Civil Engineering, Architecture, and Architectural Engineering), as well as thesis projects.

About the research
Sustainability requirements highly increase the request for use of timber in construction. Considering the extensive growth in urban areas all over the world, there are driving forces for application of timber not only in small simple buildings, but also in challenging structures such as high-rise buildings, large-span roofs, bridges, wind turbine towers, etc. The increase of wood construction is driven by the request for low carbon construction technologies and bio-based materials, developments of engineered wood products and connection systems as well as through the industrialization of the wood sector. Examples of important research challenges are improving the mechanical performance of connections, reinforcement of timber in weak zones, composite structures with timber and other structural materials, structural stability and effective structural systems for demanding timber structures. The research needs span over large scales, from material science to large structures. There is potential in connecting the research in different fields at Chalmers, e.g. structural engineering, computational mechanics, material science, design, and architecture.

Sweden is one of top players in modern timber construction technologies. One obvious reason is our large area of productive forest. Additionally, Sweden has well-experienced wood-processing and timber construction companies. Our strong industiral position in timber structures internationally makes Sweden well-situated for strong research on timber structures. Finally, Chalmers has good connections to the wood and timber industry.

Key responsibilities
As professor, you will provide scientific and pedagogical expertise within the area of timber structures and structural engineering. You are expected to lead the development of the research and teaching in timber structures in its next phase of growth and development.

Main responsibilities of the position include to:

Develop and lead research in timber structures.
Secure external research funding and to lead research projects.
Be examiner and supervise PhD students as main supervisor.
Develop and teach in courses on all levels of our education and to supervise degree projects.
Collaborate with industry and society as well as within academia, internationally and in Sweden.

Other tasks at division and/or department level may also be included.

Your profile
The qualifications to obtain Associate Professor level are described below. To qualify for the position on Full Professor level, scientific expertise and a leading international position in the field is required. For Associate Professor or Professor levels, you need to have potential to reach the Full Professor level.

Capability and creativity to develop the research area timber structures at Chalmers to, with time, become internationally successful and distinguished, and support the development of the Swedish timber industry.
Proven track record of and potential for continued high quality scientific research, as evidenced by publication records.
Documented capability to attract and lead research projects.
Well documented pedagogical skills and experience from teaching and development of education at undergraduate and graduate levels, as evidenced by your pedagogical portfolio.
Well documented ability to (co)supervise PhD and MSc students.
MSc degree in Civil Engineering or a related topic and a PhD degree in the area of structural engineering/timber structures.

You have the potential to assume a leading role for research in your field. We expect that you can successfully apply for external funding and cooperate with industry. You have good leadership and cooperation skills. Experience from research, development and engineering practice in industry and demonstrated innovation capacity are meritorious.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English, while communication skills in Swedish is a merit.
