Research area

An exciting position is now open at SINTEF Digital's department of Smart Sensor Systems, in Oslo. We tackle technology gaps in industry by developing new measurement systems, using expertise in spectroscopy, optical design, prototyping, 2D and 3D imaging, and algorithm development for information extraction. Our lean and iterative approach leads to value-creating measurements & digitalisation for industry. By building robust prototypes, based on novel concepts, we move quickly from the lab to the field, gaining a fuller understanding of our clients' measurement environments. We work closely with both technology providers and end-users of technology.

SINTEF

SINTEF is one of Europe's largest research organisations, with multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of technology, the natural sciences and the social sciences. SINTEF is an independent foundation and has conducted contract research and development projects for the private and public sectors since 1950. SINTEF has 2000 employees from 75 countries and annual revenues of three billion Norwegian kroner.

Vision: Technology for a better society

Work assignments

The day-to-day work will involve research studies, lab and in-the-field experimentation, design of optical measurement instrumentation, and prototype-building. The goal of the work is to build advanced optical measurement instrumentation for industrial and commercial applications. This will entail initiating, managing and completing projects in close collaboration with our clients. Proposal writing (e.g. EU and Research Council Norway) and scientific publishing are also expected.

Qualifications & skills

§ We are looking for a candidate with a PhD or master's qualifications with experience from industry or applied research environments.

§ Solid academic qualifications in physics, optics/optical design, or applied spectroscopy.
