About the job

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, NTNU, has a vacancy for a PhD candidate in building integration of solar cells.

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

The PhD candidate position is foreseen to carry out experimental laboratory and field work on building integration of solar cells. This research work will be carried out within the project ”A Toolkit for Sustainable Photovoltaics Integration in the Norwegian Built Environment” (SolKit) funded by the Research Council of Norway and several industrial and other partners.

The primary objective of the SolKit project is to facilitate the widespread adoption of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in the Norwegian built environment. The SolKit project entails overcoming barriers linked to Norwegian conditions while addressing societal needs, economic goals and sustainability challenges. Furthermore, SolKit aims to develop essential knowledge and tools specifically tailored to address the conditions hindering the broad acceptance and deployment of BIPV technologies in Norway.

The foreseen work tasks for the PhD candidate within the SolKit project will include one or several of the following building integration challenges, which will be tailor-made with the actual PhD candidate according to his or her background and interests and the needs of the SolKit project:

Energy performance and weather protection: Explore the dual functionality of electricity generation and weatherproofing in BIPV components, examining diverse solar cell materials, technologies, electrical connections, and sealing systems between BIPV and adjacent non-solar elements. The aim is to assess the influence of Norwegian weather conditions on the energy performance of BIPV components, with a focus on factors like snow and ice coverage, low solar radiation, diffuse solar radiation conditions, and low temperatures. Durability and service life: Assess the resilience of BIPV components concerning climate exposure and ageing under Norwegian conditions. The goal is to examine the performance of BIPV technologies used in Norway, considering degradation and service life in both natural and accelerated ageing conditions. The research will delve into realistic lifetimes for BIPV systems, aiming to provide insights for informed decision-making regarding design, installation, and maintenance in Norway. Robust solutions and next-generation BIPV: Conceptualise innovative and robust BIPV components, drawing insights from the abovementioned topics, to enable smooth integration of solar cells into buildings, tackling the varied challenges posed by Nordic conditions. Emphasis will be placed on weather resilience, simplified electrical connections, and minimized labour during installation and dismantling. Additionally, aspects such as plug-and-play, one-click-on-and-off alternatives, microinverters, and safety measures for autonomous solar cells will be explored. Moreover, the PhD candidate’s work and results will be part of the input to the BIPV tool development in the SolKit project: Tool development: Develop a user-friendly tool, providing stakeholders with information on BIPV systems and offering an overall evaluation of various installations. The tool will provide BIPV key details, such as potential power output, seasonal production profiles, environmental benefits, and investment payback time.

The SolKit project includes several national partners, among them the research organization SINTEF Community. The PhD candidate is expected to collaborate with other PhD students, research scientists and professors in our team and among the project partners. The PhD candidate is foreseen to collaborate and work in the laboratories of NTNU and SINTEF Community, with supervisors from both NTNU and SINTEF Community. In addition, some relevant field work with solar cell integration in existing and new buildings, including interactions with various SolKit partners, may also be expected.

Your immediate leader is professor.

The position is full-time and the preferred starting time is in the Summer or Fall of 2025 but a later date may be agreed upon.

The Department of Marketing welcomes applicants with an insightful vision on “market transformations”, and expertise in advanced research skills in marketing and consumer research (e.g., strong methodological knowhow with an emphasis on contemporary, advanced methods). The applicant should have research experience and interest in studying “market transformations” such as sustainable market development (including e.g., circular economy, alternative economic and business models, critical marketing and politics, societal and ecological resilience, green marketing practice), digital technologies and platforms (e.g., digital marketing, digitalization of markets, digitalization of consumption, artificial intelligence and data-based business models, VR/AR, digital marketing ethics), fashion and luxury domains (including e.g., luxury brands, slow fashion, distributed manufacturing, fashion entrepreneurship, fashion policy research), consumer culture (e.g., identity, symbolic consumption, consumer resistance, power and inequality), and contemporary retailing (e.g., omnichannel retailing, retail branding, sensory marketing, retail business models, platforms).

Overall, Finland in general and Aalto University in particular provide a great “platform” to explore the aforementioned kinds of “market transformation” topic, as well as other topics. There are good opportunities to get access to company and consumer data, as well as even governmental data. This is due to the high level of trust that both Finnish companies, consumers, and the government have in academic research and researchers.

Your network and team

The Department of Marketing comprises a thriving and dynamic community of faculty, researchers and staff, extending into four primary research domains: Strategic Marketing, Services Marketing, Retail and Sales, and Consumer Behavior. With these key marketing domains forming the backbone of our study programmes, the Department offers Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degrees that are internationally competitive in quality, innovativeness and topicality.

For more information about the Department of Marketing, and the current research conducted within the discipline, please visit https://www.aalto.fi/department-of-marketing.

Your experience

Applicants should have a fluent command of English and hold a doctorate degree in a relevant discipline, or have their doctoral thesis under review (“about to defend”). The applicants will be reviewed based on their research, teaching, and other academic activity in the scientific community. Experience in acquiring funding for research projects and co-operation with industry and research institutions will be considered as an advantage.

The selected candidate is expected to perform world‐class research, teach, supervise and otherwise advance both doctoral and undergraduate education, be an active member of the international scientific community, and exhibit academic leadership.

What we offer

Markets and consumer culture often evolve faster than academic marketing knowledge and know-how. For this reason, one of the central goals of our research community is to provide the latest tools, techniques and leading-edge thinking for managing and researching this continuously changing landscape. This endeavor is driven by rigorous and ambitious research activity and a lively network of projects with business and non-profit sectors, as well as with other academic disciplines.

At the assistant professor level, the tenure track covers two terms. The first term is for three years, with renewal for a second four-year term being based on a successful mid-term evaluation. Subsequent promotion to Associate Professor is based on a successful tenure review, conducted towards the end of the second term of the assistant professorship. More information on Aalto’s tenure track system can be found here.

Aalto University follows the salary system of Finnish universities. Salaries are competitive within the European context. Typical teaching loads for assistant professors are moderate: two 8-week courses to be taught per year, plus master’s thesis supervision throughout the year. A yearly research funding is offered for the first three years of the tenure track. The School of Business will also provide relocation support for tenure track professors coming outside Finland. Consistent with EU insurance and pension regulations, Aalto expects full-time academic employees to reside and work in Finland. In addition, Aalto University provides its employees with occupational health care services and retirement benefits.
