Nanomaterials Scientist for Hydrogen Sensors

The Langhammer group at Chalmers is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to contribute to the development of next-generation hydrogen sensors. Our research focuses on advanced materials science, nanotechnology, and sustainability.

As a member of our team, you will investigate high-entropy alloy nanoparticles for their hydrogen sorption properties and induced changes in optical properties. You will also develop new nanofabrication methods for HEA nanoparticles on surfaces using our microshutter tool.

We are looking for a candidate with a Master's degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanoscience, or Materials Science, and strong collaboration and communication skills in English. A background in plasmonics, plasmonic sensing, or micro-/nanofabrication is preferred.

You will have the opportunity to work at the forefront of nanotechnology and sustainability, contributing to the transition to clean energy. Our research group specializes in nanomaterials science, catalysis, nanoplasmonics, nanofluidics, and sensors, focusing on sustainable energy-related nanomaterials.

As a PhD student at Chalmers, you will be an employee and enjoy all employee benefits. The position is limited to four years, with the possibility to teach up to 20%, which extends the position to five years.

We celebrate diversity and consider equality and inclusion as fundamental aspects of all our activities. If Swedish is not your native language, we offer Swedish courses to help you settle in.

The position is part of WISE, Sweden's largest materials science investment, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. As a WISE researcher, you will join the WISE Research School, participating in seminars, courses, research visits, and networking activities.
