Colloid and Surface Chemistry Researcher – Printed and Organic Electronics

Do you have an interest in Printed, Bio- and Organic Electronics? Are you passionate about advanced applied research? Would you like to help Swedish industry maintain and strengthen its competitive edge, both nationally and internationally, with the help of new sustainable technologies? Then you might be our next employee!

We are looking for a researcher with skills in colloid and surface chemistry to work in the field of Printed, Bio- and Organic Electronics for a full-time permanent employment in Norrköping.

About the position
The position is specifically connected to RISE Printed, Bio- and Organic Electronics activities in Norrköping that are important strategic research areas within RISE. Your daily work entails performing research assignments in projects that are run in close collaboration with Swedish and international partners from both academia and industry. You will be working together with a team of experts where you will help to maintain our research and development offering at the technological forefront of the field.

You will need to be versatile, be able to participate in multidisciplinary research and be able to adapt your skills to emerging research fields. Furthermore, you should be able to disseminate and communicate research results clearly in the form of report writing and presentations.

Who are you?
In order to be successful in the role you will need good theoretical and practical knowledge of colloid and surface chemistry. Experience in formulation and characterization of particle dispersions such as inks, paints, tinting pastes, is also important. You need to be willing to work “hands on” in the laboratory to develop and optimize ink-formulations. Skills in characterization of ink formulations by, for example rheology, are preferred. Experience with risk assessments, chemical hazards and the KLARA system are a merit.

You have a PhD or equivalent education relevant to the field of colloid and surface chemistry as well as a few years work experience. You speak and write English fluently and are an enthusiastic and inspiring colleague. It is highly important that you are a team player with a pronounced teamwork ability. As our laboratory expert in colloid and surface chemistry within our multidisciplinary research environment you will need to be able to take the initiative and work independently without detailed guidance/supervision. You have a good understanding of industrial needs, high integrity and the ability to see the potential in the work that you and your colleagues perform.
