A PhD position is available at the Department of Electrical Engineering (IET), Faculty of Engineering Sciences and Technology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway. The position is within the field of distributed fibre-optic sensing for railway infrastructure monitoring, with particular emphasis on the use of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for monitoring railway infrastructure and natural hazards along the Ofoten Line.
The position is for a period of four years. The nominal length of the PhD programme is three years. The fourth year is distributed as 25 % each year and will consist of teaching and other duties. The objective of the position is to complete research training to the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to the PhD programme is a prerequisite for employment, and the programme period starts on commencement of the position.
The workplace is at UiT in Narvik. You must be able to start in the position within a reasonable time after receiving the offer.
The position’s field of research
The position is associated with a current research initiative at UiT on intelligent monitoring and resilience of railway and transport infrastructure in Arctic settings that aims to address how distributed sensing, fibre-optic monitoring, environmental observations, drone- and satellite-based data, operational infrastructure datasets, and/or machine learning can be used to support real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, geohazard detection, and safer railway operations. The initiative is a collaboration between the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Department of Computer Science and Computational Engineering, and the Department of Geosciences.
Research infrastructure is provided via existing data, sensor networks, and established field sites along the Ofoten Line and current initiatives associated with the Arctic Test Arena project.
Railway infrastructure in Arctic and Nordic regions is increasingly exposed to harsh weather, heavy traffic loads
