Lecturer in Electricity, especially Robotics

Uppsala Universitet
Uppsala län
för 3 veckor sedan

Electrification and digitalization are among the largest areas for the future in the conversion to sustainable societies. The Department of Electrical Engineering conducts successful research and education in the areas - renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, industrial robotics, industrial IoT, 6G communication and wireless sensor networks as well as research and education within Life Science, smart electronic sensors and medical systems. The Department of Electrical Engineering is an international workplace with around 160 employees that all contribute to important technical energy and health solutions at the Ångström laboratory.

The position will be at the Division of Electricity, at the Department of Electrical Engineering. You will be a part of the research group within the rapidly growing research and education field of industrial robotics. Here you will find a friendly work environment, comprehensive lab environments and strong research projects. The research group works in collaboration with industrial companies such as ABB Robotics, Sandvik Coromant and Polestar Performance. We look forward to receiving your application. Join us and build the future with us!

Description of subject area of the employment:

Our society faces great challenges if we shall be able to meet the global sustainability goals. Electrification is crucial. An increased and more multifaceted demand for electric machines in turn increases the need for new, flexible and efficient both production and recycling methods. The extensive and rapid technological development, with digitalization, connectivity and now also AI – often referred to as Industry 4.0 – that has swept over the industry during more than a decade provides new technical conditions for such solutions. At the same time, a parallel focus on the role for humans, sustainability and resilience – often referred to as Industry 5.0 – in clearly growing. Wisely used, these industrial revolutions can be combined in projects that for example utilize new technology for innovative and collaborative solutions connected to circularity.

The research area of industrial robotics at Uppsala University is in an expansive phase with new projects, possibilities and collaborations connected to our focus on sustainable solutions, renewable energy and electric vehicles. We develop new innovative, smart and highly flexible solutions for robotized assemblies, testing and recycling of electric machines and batteries. Our prime and largely unique strengths are the combined broad and deep expertise with relevance for the research area available at our institution, our clear and direct connection between smart robotics and concrete sustainable applications, and a strong focus on that effective virtual development shall be validated through practical experiments with full scale industrial equipment.

The education area of industrial robotics is growing very fast. Every year we have more than 400 engineering students taking lab exercises with the ten full size industrial robots available in our three robot labs, which corresponds to a tenfold increase in less than ten years. At the same time, the demand for both industrial competence and University courses continue to increase. This leads to a large need for teachers that can educate and supervise at all academic levels within the subject area, in particular within first and second cycle courses. Applicants for the position are expected to have a solid experience with proven successful results of taking responsibility for education and development with project- and lab exercise-focused teaching elements where digital and physical technologies are combined. In particular practical elements using industrial automation equipment, preferably with applications with clear research connections to the subject area.

Duties:

The main duty within the employment will be to take responsibility for, implement, examine and drive the development of project based and lab exercise intense courses and course parts within the undergraduate education. The teaching consists to a large part of taking the step from theory to supervision of practical lab exercises with programming (ABB ARLA/RAPID, URScript) of physical automation equipment, tooling and sensors, as well as simulation and emulation (ABB Robotstudio, Simumatik, Codesys) of industrial robots and PLCs for different student groups. Subject reviewing and supervision of degree projects within the subject area are also included.
  • Follow developments within the subject area and the development of society in general that is important for the work at the university.
