The University | About us…
The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character. The University was founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University’s faculties and interdisciplinary centres focus on research in the areas of Computer Science and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance and Financial Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine. Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its “international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.
The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.
The Department of Engineering (DoE) is a multidisciplinary department within the Faculty of Sciences, Technology, and Medicine. The Department of Engineering covers a wide range of engineering fields, including civil, electrical, mechanical engineering, and geophysics. Its primary objective is to develop technological solutions and promote sustainable and economical resource utilisation. The Department aims to provide the necessary expertise to meet the technological demands of Luxembourg and the Greater Region’s industrial and public sectors. One notable aspect of the Department’s research focus is the utilisation of numerical simulation techniques and their validation.
Overall, the DoE is committed to advancing engineering knowledge and promoting the application of technology in a manner that aligns with sustainability, resource efficiency, and the needs of industrial and public actors in the region.
The University of Luxembourg (Uni.lu) is seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher within the Department of Engineering of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine under the supervision of Prof. Slawomir KEDZIORA.
The postdoc’s role is to participate in developing, designing, and analysing a powertrain with the partner company’s experts for use in hybrid agricultural and construction vehicles.
