The candidate will collaborate with several groups within Sweden. Teaching and supervision are not part of the duties.

Requirements
For employment as researcher, the applicant should have a PhD exam or an international equivalent in chemistry or other for the position relevant fields. The applicant must have research experience of photochemistry, electrochemistry and transient spectroscopy and have work experience in renewable energy. In addition to this, the applicant must have research experience in molecules and their functionalization.

The assessment of applications is based primarily on the applicant's ability to conduct independent research based on scientific skill. Greater importance is attached to the quality of individual scientific work, than to the amount of publications. A good level of written and spoken English as well as the ability to work in a team is required.
