2 weeks ago


Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

This Postdoc position gives you an unique opportunity to further develop your skills and knowledge in not only design and synthesis sensing materials but also use the developed sensor for more advanced applications.

You will collaborate with researchers from both academia and industry in a multidisciplinary research environment.

Project description

This project focus on the development of 2D materials based composites for example with polymer and other sensing materials to fabricate highly sensitive pressure sensors.

Gas sensor can be also considered. You will design, synthesize and characterize the 2D materials based sensing materials.

You are expect to have good hand on skill to fabricate stable and high performance pressure sensor using different equipment.

The work has an experimental focus, and you will closely collaborate with simulation and modeling partners from academia and industrials.

Being part of this collaborative project, you will be involved in a multidisciplinary environment and working with international researchers.

Industrial and Materials Science (IMS)

Most of the research within this Postdoc position will be carried out in the Division of Materials and Manufacture, Department of Industrial and Materials Science.

The division covers the entire value chain from materials design, processing and characterization to machining of metals and polymers.

We employ a range of technologies -surface modification of materials, powder metallurgy, electroplating, additive manufacturing and material removal - and a range of advanced characterization techniques.

Our work is interdisciplinary by nature and is addressing topics that have a direct impact on sustainability.

The division is collaborating closely with other universities and research institutes, and is implementing industry-academia partnerships through collaborative projects and strategic initiatives.

Major responsibilities

Your major responsibility as a postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group by collaborating with others.

The position may also includes supervising Master and/or PhD student to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with industrial partners.

You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing in English.

Qualifications

To be qualified for the position of postdoc, you must have a doctoral degree or equivalent in chemistry or Materials Science, Physics or a relevant field, generally awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).

Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.


You should be fluent in English, have a good collaborative skills and ability to communicate your results in writing and presentations.

You are expected to stay motivated and efficient despite setbacks and disappointments while continuing to work until satisfied results have been achieved.

Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

  • The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
