Norway, Trondheim

About the job

The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.

We have one vacancy for a Postdoctoral position at the Department of Architecture and Technology (IAT), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The Postdoctoral position is linked to an international research project entitled “Participatory collaborative research to enhance climate change adaptation and mitigation in underserved communities in Asia and North- and South America”.

The rise of global surface temperatures is causing more extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, and storms. Designing the built environment (physical, natural and social infrastructure) for integrated environmental/social sustainability and resilience against extreme weather is crucial to face and mitigate the challenges, especially in areas inhabited by vulnerable populations. Such design calls for holistic, inclusive, regenerative, and self-sustaining approaches which result in an overall net positive impact on the environment and the communities living in it. 

The research project, that the postdoc will be part of, is a collaboration between partners in Canada, UK, Norway, Switzerland, Indonesia, Colombia and USA, the latter three countries also hosting living labs in selected coastal communities. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, the research project will (1) Assess region-specific climate change related hazards, exposures, vulnerabilities, and current responses in vulnerable communities through citizen-institution dialogues; (2) co-create innovative responses to climate change in a framework of scenarios and implementable regenerative solutions through a participatory design that enhance long-term resilience with net-positive environmental impacts; (3) mobilize and embed knowledge within communities and institutions to enable the adaptation and/or reclamation of the built environment in a resilient and sustainable manner. 

The candidate will be part of the Energy and Environment Group at the Department of Architecture and Technology, NTNU. The Energy and Environment group strives to solve sustainability issues of the built environment and to prepare it for climate neutrality. Based on science and research we advance design solutions that integrate energy and environmental performance with high architectural and spatial quality. We aim at enabling the design of buildings and neighbourhoods with a positive impact on humans and their environment throughout their life cycle. The group currently comprises 10 senior staff members (professors and associate professors), and around 20 research fellows (research assistants, PhD candidates, and post-doctoral researchers).

You will report to the Head of Department when it comes to personal and general professional aspects. You will report to the project manager/supervisor when it comes to scientific and project-related aspects. 

Duties of the position

The postdoc will work with all project partners and living labs but will have a particular focus on collaboration with the Indonesian living lab. The postdoc will bridge the areas of environmental and technical assessments with the use of this information as decision-support in the affected communities. Specifically, the postdoc will contribute in:


	Identifying regenerative approaches for climate adaptation and mitigation in vulnerable communities
	Facilitating co-designs of low-emission climate adaptation solutions within the communities
	Co-developing blueprints for tools and processes for embedding and spreading knowledge about approaches for climate adaptation and mitigation in vulnerable communities
	Collaborations with NTNU master students, as well as an Indonesian PhD candidate (and Indonesian supervisors) in architecture about community-driven scenarios for climate adaptations and sustainable solutions to mitigate climate change.

About the position

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree. 

The PhD candidate will work on challenging research problems related to automated planning and scheduling (AI planning) for autonomous ship operations. Although autonomous ships will rely heavily on their motion control systems for accomplishing tasks such as path tracking, docking and collision avoidance, for an operation to be fully autonomous the ship must be able to tackle a wide range of additional situations that are outside the scope of low-level guidance and control, such as: When to switch from one stage of the mission to the next (from undocking to transit phase, for instance); What should happen in case of an unexpected situation, such as an unforeseen combination of faults, or sudden lack of vital information at any point during the mission. Such decisions must be made by a high-level agent that is aware of the exact mission objectives, has available the best possible update regarding the current status of the ship and the mission, and has an overview of available resources (including, time, energy, and even the possibility to pass information to a human supervisor onshore).

The mission planning system must generate action sequences (plans) that are feasible, consider all relevant constraints, and can be updated online, since the uncertainty in the marine environment will often render initial planning irrelevant at some point during the mission. From the aforementioned, it becomes obvious that mission planning will be strongly coupled with the ship’s motion control systems and sensors.

This aspect of autonomy has in the past been considered in the context of Space missions. AI planning has been instrumental in those cases, and the successful candidate will be tasked to develop similar methodologies customized to autonomous ship missions. All proposed methodologies will be tested and verified via full-scale experiments.  

The position is part of SFI AutoShip, the new 8-year research-based innovation Center in autonomous ships. The Centre focuses on autonomy, digital infrastructure, maritime transport, safety and risk analysis, maritime law, human-machine interaction, and cyber security, with partners from research, public sector and maritime industry. For more information about SFI AutoShip, see www.ntnu.edu/sfi-autoship.

The position reports to Associate Professor Anastasios Lekkas as the main scientific supervisor of the research. 

Duties of the position

The main objective of the research is to develop mission planning systems for autonomous ships based on AI planning. The purpose of the mission planning system is to generate action sequences (plans) in a reactive manner, which will then be implemented by the motion control systems of the ship (potentially other modules too, such as communication systems) in order for the ship to accomplish its mission. As part of the research activities, you will collaborate actively with some of the partners in the SFI AutoShip Center. You will be encouraged to have a research stay with one of the collaborating universities outside Norway during the research period.

Selection criteria

The PhD-position's main objective is to qualify for work in research positions. 

The qualification requirement is completion of a master’s degree or second degree (equivalent to 120 credits) with a strong academic background in cybernetics, electrical engineering, mathematics, computer science, physics, electronic systems or equivalent education with a grade of B or better in terms of NTNU’s grading scale. Applicants with no letter grades from previous studies must have an equally good academic foundation. Applicants who are unable to meet these criteria may be considered only if they can document that they are particularly suitable candidates for education leading to a PhD degree.

Required qualifications


	Academic background as listed above. 
	Excellent English skills (written and oral).
