Postdoc in Advanced Surface Engineering

4 days ago

Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden KTH Royal Institute of Technology Full time
School of Industrial Engineering and Management at KTH

Centre X is now looking for a postdoctoral researcher within advanced surface engineering. Centre X (Advanced Manufacturing Solutions for Next Generation Powertrain), is a new powerful initiative on manufacturing of innovative powertrain solutions, jointly initiated by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, Scania and AB Volvo.

The primary objective of this postdoc position is to advance the understanding and applications of surface engineering, with a focus on enhancing system performance, its reliability, and modern surface texture characterization methods. This role will concentrate on developing innovative surface modification techniques aimed at improving the physical and chemical properties of materials, with targeted applications in sectors such as energy storage, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.

The successful candidate will employ advanced methodologies, including deposition techniques, coating technologies, micro- and nano-texturing, and surface texture characterization, while integrating these approaches with cutting-edge computational tools for modeling and analysis.

The postdoctoral researcher will work within multidisciplinary teams in close industrial collaboration, contributing to both experimental and theoretical studies. This role offers opportunities to engage with international partners and industry leaders to translate research into real-world solutions. During the period of employment, the postdoc will primarily conduct research, enhance their independence as a researcher, and create opportunities for further qualifications. The postdoctoral researcher may also be involved in and contribute to teaching at undergraduate, advanced, and postgraduate levels.

What we offer
  • A position within a new strong joint industry-academic centre leading the way for future sustainable industries and products.
  • A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
  • Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment.
  • Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature.
  • Access to state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities.
Minimum Qualifications
  • A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree (in materials science, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field). This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.
  • Research expertise in surface engineering, including deposition, coating techniques, or surface modification processes.
  • Experience in computational modelling for material surfaces and characterization techniques (e.g., WLI, FV, LCC, SEM, XRD, AFM).
  • Proficiency in English, both written and spoken, as this is used in daily work.
  • Proven experience in publishing scientific research.
Preferred qualifications
  • A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline.
  • Previous work in surface engineering relevant for the field of production engineering.
  • Experience collaborating with industrial partners or working in international research environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently as well as being collaborative in part of a team.
  • Strong communication and project management skills.
  • Teaching abilities.
  • Awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with specific focus on gender equality.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.

Log into KTH's recruitment system to apply for this position. You are responsible for ensuring that your application is complete according to the instructions in the ad.

The application must include:

  • CV including relevant professional experience and knowledge.
  • Copy of diplomas and grades from your previous university studies. Translations into English or Swedish if the original documents have not been issued in any of these languages.
  • Contact information for at least two academic references.

Your complete application must be received at KTH no later than the last day of application, midnight CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).
