LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY
Hereby advertises a position as

Postdoctor in Energy Materials, Thin Film Physics Division
formally based at IFM

 

Duties

The Energy Materials group of the Thin Film Physics Division conducts fundamental and application-inspired studies of thin-film materials for energy applications, with emphasis on thermoelectrics and ionic conductors. The present position, funded by an ERC Starting Grant, will involve studies in these areas. The specifics of the position and project will be decided in consensus and adapted to the interests, background, and expertise of the applicant. We collaborate extensively with theoreticians, and depending on the applicant’s interests, the present position may include a theoretical part in guidance and interplay with experiments.
