We are hiring a postdoc to work on novel ultra-soft nanomaterial-based stretchable conducting hydrogels towards neural interface applications. The position is in the Soft Electronics group, Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Department of Science and Technology, Campus Norrköping.
- The postdoc will develop novel ultra-soft nanomaterial-based stretchable conducting hydrogels towards neural interface applications. This constitutes a major challenge, as the materials should combine high electrical performance with tissue-like softness and biocompatibility.
- As a postdoc you are expected to assist in the leadership of the scientific work within your area and to guide students. Responsibilities can increase in relation to demonstrated abilities.
Requirements
- To be qualified to take employment as postdoc, you must have been awarded a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This degree must have been awarded at the latest by the point at which LiU makes its decision to employ you.
- It is considered advantageous if your doctoral degree is no older than three years at application deadline for this job. If there are special reasons for having an older doctoral degree – such as taking statutory leave – then these may be taken into consideration.
- A suitable background for this position is a PhD in materials science, nanoscience, material chemistry, chemistry, or a related field. Nanomaterial experience is a merit. Desirable personal skills and traits for the position are highly motivated, ambitious, problem solving skills and teamwork ability. Research at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics is carried out predominantly in English, so relative fluency is favorable.
- Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities and suitability.
Required Documents
- Cover letter, max 1 page, describing your background, research interests and what makes you interested in the position.
- CV, max 4 pages, including contact details to three reference persons.
- Full publication list.
- Copy of passport, PhD diploma, and MSc transcripts with grades
- Submit application no later than 24th January 2025
