Postdoc researcher position in nanotechnology with focus on applications of novel 2D materials - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Full-time temporary position for one year starting 2021-07-15 or as agreed upon

The Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials has many years of experience from developing nanomaterials with a broad range of applications such as energy storage, catalysis, and within the life sciences.

Project description: The project is part of a larger collaborative project between several groups at Linköping University and Uppsala University. New and exciting 2D materials synthesized through the chemical exfoliation of laminated parent 3D crystals will be investigated at the Division of Nanotechnology and Functional Materials for targeted applications, with a particular emphasis on catalysis, energy storage, ion sieving, biocompatibility and antibacterial activity.

Work duties: The work duties within this project include the development of these 2D materials for specific applications suited to the properties of these materials, and thus will include characterisation, modification and testing of the materials in a variety of applications.

Qualification requirements: PhD degree in Materials Science, or Nanotechnology or a related subject. The candidate should be dexterous and creative with a strong and documented experience in nanomaterials synthesis and characterisation to be able to develop the materials and to apply them in the application areas mentioned above.

Good writing and communication skills in English are required.

Application: The application should contain a brief description of the research interests and relevant experience, CV, publication list, and copies of diplomas and grades.

Salary: Individual salary

Starting date: 2021-07-15 or to be agreed upon

Type of employment: Temporary position for one year

Scope of employment: 100 %
