Postdoc in 2 dimensional materials based composites for pressure sensor - Gothenburg, Sverige - Chalmers tekniska högskola

Beskrivning

This Postdoc position gives you a unique opportunity to further develop your skills and knowledge in sensors. You will collaborate with researchers from both academia and industry working in a multidisciplinary research environment. Join us to design and develop sensor devices for different applications.

Project description The performance of the sensors depends on the properties and structures of the functional materials. This project will focus on designing and synthesizing different functional 2D materials for example graphene and MXene with unique structures for sensor applications. You will design, synthesize, and characterize the 2D materials-based sensing materials to improve the sensitivity and detection limit of general sensors. The work has an experimental focus, and you will closely collaborate with simulation and modeling partners from academia and industries. Being part of this collaborative project, you will be involved in a multidisciplinary environment and working with international researchers.

Information about the division and the department Most of the research within this Postdoc position will be carried out in , . The division covers the entire value chain from materials design, processing and characterization to machining of metals and polymers. We employ a range of technologies -surface modification of materials, powder metallurgy, electroplating, additive manufacturing and material removal - and a range of advanced characterization techniques. Our work is interdisciplinary by nature and is addressing topics that have a direct impact on sustainability. The division is collaborating closely with other universities and research institutes, and is implementing industry-academia partnerships through collaborative projects and strategic initiatives.

Major responsibilities Your major responsibility as a postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group by collaborating with others. The position may also include supervising Master and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with industrial partners. You are expected to develop your scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing in English.

Qualifications To be qualified for the position of postdoc, you must have a doctoral degree or equivalent in chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, or a relevant field, generally awarded no more than three years before the application deadline. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave, or military service*. You should be fluent in English, have good collaborative skills, and ability to communicate your results in writing and presentations. You are expected to stay motivated and efficient despite setbacks and disappointments while continuing to work until satisfactory results have been achieved.

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
