There is a handbook for doctoral studies on Chalmers Doctoral Portal which contains a lot of useful information and strives towards centralizing all information about PhD studies at Chalmers. https://student.portal.chalmers.se/doctoralportal/handbook/Pages/default.aspx

Föreningen för Forskarstuderande i Fysik (FFF) is an organization of graduate students working in the field of physics at University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. On their webpage on Chalmers Insidan, you can find all sorts of information useful for graduate students in physics:

https://www.chalmers.se/insidan/sites/ap/forskarutbildning/foreningen-for4126

At Chalmers it is mandatory to be a member of the Student Union. You need to pay the membership fee each semester and show your card every time you write an exam. By being a member of the Student Union you will also get a lot of discounts and other benefits!

All PhD Students at Chalmers must take 15 credits out of the General and Transferable Skills (GTS) courses. You can find more information at http://www.chalmersprofessional.se/sv/genericskills

Other than the GTS courses you have to take a minimum of <number> credits to complete your graduate studies. Discuss with your supervisor and director of studies which courses you should take and if and which courses you have taken before you can count for your PhD. You can take master's courses or graduate courses. Here is a list of the Chalmers departments' graduate courses: Graduate courses .

Master's courses you can find by searching on the Student Portal ( here ). For instance you can select department, why not Physics, and you will get a (long) list of all courses given by the department. You should also not underestimate the word of mouth (unfortunately).

Meetings with director of studies

Within 1.5-2 months after you started your graduate studies you will have to have a meeting with you study director, examiner and supervisor(s) where you present a study plan (which can be found here ). This study plan should be filled in by you (in agreement with your supervisor) with information like courses taken, amount of teaching our other departmental duties done ( Jonathan Weidow keeps a good record of your teaching, send him a mail and he will give you what he has registered). At the meeting you will discuss your work and the study plan. After the meeting supervisors, examiner, director of studies, and the PhD student should sign the document (after any agreed upon changes has been made). The signed copy should then be given to Anna Lindqvist at the administration on floor 5 in Origo for archiving.

Interest in teaching is reported twice a year in a survey sent out by Jonathan Weidow . By teaching or doing other departmental duties your PhD project gets paid and your time at Chalmers is extended by as much. More information can be found on insidan here: http://www.chalmers.se/insidan/sites/ap/grundutbildning/arbetstid-och-ersattning/ersattning-och-kontering

The most important parts are also stated below.

Teaching time

A full time employee corresponds to a work year of:

1 756 hours with 28 days of vacation (0-29 years of age) 1 732 hours with 31 days of vacation (30-39 years of age) 1 700 hours with 35 days of vacation (40- years of age)

The most common teaching types are counted as departmental duty hours according to:

* regular hours ** n is the number of bachelor students

Note the difference between Räkneövning, where you solve problems on the board, and Räknestuga, where the students are solving problems themselves and you are available for questions.

You should know how much time you are assigned for teaching before preparing, so that you don't spend too much time on it. If it is unclear, ask the examiner and/or the teaching coordinator.

Other types of departmental duties are agreed on in discussion with "studierektor" (director of studies).

Search students

If you need to contact a student for some reason, you can search for contact information on the Chalmers Student Union portal: https://medlem.chs.chalmers.se/?setlanguage=en (being a PhD student, you have to be a member of the student union).

It has been decided within GPC ( Gothenburg Physics Centre ) that all teachers must pass a web based safety course and participate in a safety seminar in order to be allowed to teach in the Physics Learning Lab (FÖL). For the web course, you should do everything except the practical test about X-ray (unless you are about to teach those labs, then it is mandatory as well).

In order to do the web course, and you’ll need a x-account on GUL (Göteborgs Universitets Lärplattform). Contact Bea Tensfeldt by sending an email to bea.tensfeldt (at) physics.gu.se including this information:

• Social security number
• Academic title
• Email address
• Room number
• Phone number
• Contact person (supervisor, leader of division or head of department)

Once you have access, please follow the instructions at the following link: http://gul.gu.se/public/courseId/48817/lang-sv/publicPage.do

For those of you that haven’t attended the safety seminar, there will be a new chance next year but until then you have to check the web page: http://www.chalmers.se/en/centres/gpc/education/Pages/Lab-safety.aspx

Any further questions should be addressed to http://www.physics.gu.se/om-institutionen/personal?userId=xrostm Mats Rostedt (lab safety course) or Lars Hellberg (safety seminar).

You might go on a research visit during the PhD, for several weeks or a couple of months. If, for some reason, the normal allowance (traktamente) is not paid to you for this trip (none or partial), you can make a deduction for it in the coming tax declaration. This can be a significant amount of money. See Skatteverket's rules , page 7-8.

Some time during the PhD, you must give a popular presentation to an audience that is not familiar with your research topic. Instructions, as well as suggestions of platforms, can be found on the GTS page . Furthermore, the Association of Graduate Students in Physics (FFF) arranges appropriate platforms from time to time.

The half-way defence, the licentiate seminar are connected with certain rules/guidelines. Also the rules at the Physics department differ from Chalmers' central rules. Read more on Insidan here (in swedish). Anna Lindqvist at the administration will contact you once the application has been sent to the department and guide you through any other formalities. The central guide for the licentiate seminar can be found on the doctoral portal here (although you should use the physics one primarily).

The information exists on the new intranet also. Try this link: https://intranet.chalmers.se/verktyg-stod/forskarutbildning/licentiat-mittseminarium/forberedelser-infor-licentiatseminarium/#licentiatseminarium-vid-institutionen-for-fysik

When it comes to applying for a licentiate degree there is a guide here . Your examiner should have filled in the approval form (can be found on the same doctoral portal page ) and then the administration should have registered that form and an "all courses completed archive list" in LADOK before you can apply for a degree. Expect an email from Anna Lindqvist at the administration.

As with the licentiate, the PhD defence is also associated with certain administrative must-do's. Find a guide from the department on Insidan here (in swedish). On the new intranet: https://intranet.chalmers.se/verktyg-stod/forskarutbildning/

Course description:

This course will introduce theories and numerical techniques on fluid-structure interaction (FSI). Numerical tools for FSI modelling and simulation will be introduced and investigated. The characteristic physical mechanisms in an FSI scenario are strongly dependent on the material properties of the fluid and structure, their shapes and dimensions, and the boundary conditions. Consequently, FSI modelling and simulation methods are diverse in different applications. In this course, FSI scenarios will be categorized. A set of representative cases in these categories will be introduced and exercised. Students are expected to propose projects based on their needs and interests. For each project, a numerical solver will be specifically designed with respect to the features of the corresponding FSI model. Tools for constructing numerical solvers are not restricted. The tools that the students have on hand and use at work will be adopted. The students can freely choose commercial soft wares (e.g., ANSYS, Simcenter STAR-CCM+, LS-DYNA, NUMECA, Hexagon MSC Software, COMSOL) and open-source soft wares (e.g., OpenFOAM, nektar++, Elmer, Salome, FEniCS, LUMA, preCICE). The projects will be documented in the form of written reports. The reports will be peer-reviewed. At the end of the course, the students will present their respective projects and teach each other the techniques utilized the projects.

This course is offered for PhD students at Chalmers and other Swedish universities, as well as international students from other countries. The course is free of charge. It does not cover the costs for travel, accommodation, and food. Industrial participants are welcomed as well, but a charge for 25 000 SEK will be made.

You will have the opportunity to visit and collaborate with different research labs both in Sweden and abroad.

18. 04 Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science and Engineering

The department is looking for four PhD students. Each position is placed in one of the four divisions (Data Science and AI, Computer Networks and Systems, Computing Science, and Software Engineering and Interaction Design) at the department, with the University of Gothenburg as the employer.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Generative models for Inverse Molecular Design

Inverse molecular design is the process of generating molecules with bespoke properties. Examples include a drug binding a specific biological target or an enzyme with high thermal stability. As such, inverse molecular design is a holy grail of chemical and biological engineering. However, the space of possible compounds or protein sequences is enormous, which excludes explicit screening or discriminative approaches. Here we seek to build a generative AI system that leverages multi-scalar and multi-modal data to generate compounds conditioned on their target properties. The selected candidate will join an interdisciplinary team in their efforts to target ion-channel proteins to modulate their function to a possible therapeutic effect.

Application Deadline: August 14, 2023

20. 02 fully funded phd position in assured autonomous systems.

The goal of this PhD project is to develop techniques and tools for the construction of assured learning-enabled ACPS with a focus on runtime assurance. In this project, you will develop simulation-based methods for the construction of runtime monitors that identify under what conditions an ML component may risk the safe operation of the system. The task of the monitor is to recognize these scenarios and, if necessary, force the system to run using trustable components. A key challenge in developing such monitors is to handle noisy or missing data. You will build on the latest advances in formal methods and statistical learning theory, to develop methods that allow for the construction of monitors with guarantees on their correctness and reliability.

22. fully funded phd position in robotic inspection systems.

The PhD project will be carried out in the Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI) research group, and in collaboration with project partners in the European railway sector. A consequence of increased utilization of the railway systems is increased wear and increased risk of damage to the railway infrastructure. As a result, there’s a strong need of maintenance and repair of the railway infrastructure. Digitalization, AI, and robotics have been identified as potential solutions. For example, a novel contribution to more efficient railway maintenance and repair are digital twins.

28. fully funded phd position in innovation leadership.

The field of research lies in the intersection between leadership studies and innovation management, with a specific focus on digital transformation in the construction industry in Sweden. This industry is ongoingly berated for its lacking performance. A succession of governmental reports and research have concluded that the industry suffers from excessive production costs, low efficiency, slow delivery, unsafe workplaces, and failure to innovate, among other things. While the various stakeholders recognize the urgent need to address these shortcomings, transformation and change have remained slow and disappointing.

29. fully funded phd position in quantum entanglement of levitated superconducting particles.

The goal of the PhD project is to explore the generation of quantum states, in particular entangled states, in the center-of-mass motion of levitated microparticles. These particles can weigh between nanogram and microgram. A fascinating and exciting part of the project will be to study potential mass-limits for generating these quantum states. The project will be based on the experimental platform of chip-based magnetic levitation of superconducting microparticles. Quantum states of the particle motion can then be generated by coupling the particle’s motion to flux-sensitive superconducting circuits, such as flux-tunable microwave resonators or superconducting qubits.

31. fully funded phd position in optimal usage of batteries.

The performance and lifetime of battery cells are to a large extent determined by how they are used, which is managed by a battery management system (BMS). At present, they act through more or less fixed constraints on measurable cell-external variables, i.e., current, voltage and temperature, to avoid accelerated aging and risk of thermal runaway. However, the decisive causes of the limitations are internal conditions that cannot be measured. Due to limited computing capacity and poor coupling between the simplistic battery models used and the cell-internal states, this normally results in an underutilization of the cells at the same time as they age prematurely.
