Göteborg, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our dynamic research group at Chalmers University of Technology. As a key member of our organic electronics team, you will focus on electrochemical doping and wearable electronics. Your primary goal will be to investigate how the mechanical properties of conjugated polymers change during electrochemical oxidation/reduction cycles and develop wearable electronic devices that leverage these changes, such as variations in stiffness or stretchability. You will collaborate closely with PhD students, Postdocs in our group, and external partners to study the mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical properties of diverse conjugated polymers. For an overview of the relevant research topics, please refer to our recent review: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2024/cs/d3cs00833a

About the research group
The Müller Research Group specializes in the physical chemistry and materials science of organic semiconductors, polymer blends, and composites, with a focus on creating innovative plastic materials for wearable electronics and energy technology. Our research is conducted in close collaboration with various universities, institutes, and industry partners. The group currently comprises 1 Professor, 1 permanent researcher, 4 Postdocs, and 8 PhD students.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct independent research in collaboration with group members and external partners.
• Mentor and support PhD students working on related projects.
• Develop and communicate scientific findings effectively in English, both orally and in writing.

Qualifications

• PhD in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (awarded within the last three years) with a focus on organic electronics and the electrochemistry of organic semiconductors, including conjugated polymers. Candidates nearing completion of their PhD are also encouraged to apply.
• Demonstrated early career achievements, including scientific publications.
• Experience with characterization techniques for studying the electrical, electrochemical, nanostructural, and optical properties of conjugated polymers. Familiarity with methods such as FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, DSC, TGA, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, AFM, SEM, TEM, electrical conductivity measurements, spectroelectrochemistry, and cyclic voltammetry is required.
• Previous experience in fabricating and characterizing organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) is essential.

Contract terms

• Full-time temporary position for up to two (2) years, with the possibility of a one-year extension based on available project funding and project progress.
• The monthly salary for a Postdoctoral Researcher at Chalmers is approximately 41,000 SEK (equivalent to €3,600) before tax.
