Postdoctoral position in Microsystem technology

The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) focuses on research, innovation and education within the fields of future electronics, photonics, bio- and nanosystems. A close collaboration with Swedish and international partners within academy, industry and society enables scientific excellence and creates an innovative environment. In addition to the 200 researchers and Ph D students, MC2 houses a cleanroom for micro- and nanofabrication with state-of-the-art equipment.

In the Micro- and Nanosystems group of the Electronics Materials and Systems Laboratory, we conduct research on the preparation of micro- and nanostructured materials in order to realise devices for a broad range of applications. We are currently engaged with energy harvesting and energy storage for intelligent wireless sensors exploiting nanofibrous materials based on carbon, and we also work with micromachined metamaterials for high frequency electronic systems.

Major responsibilities
This position is for a postdoctoral researcher who will work on developing viable solutions for integrated microsystems. There is an option for the candidate to specialize towards the application of her choice, but the profile chosen needs to be intimately linked to at least one (preferably several) of the current projects in the group: supercapacitor materials (including carbon nanostructures), MEMS structures for energy harvesting (e g piezoelectric cantilevers), or micromachined metamaterial waveguides.

As a new co-worker in our group, you will work together in a team with Professors and students to tackle the research challenges we take on, and you will be expected to be a propelling force in the group. Your major responsibilities are to contribute to generating scientfic output (published in scientific journals and presented at conferences), to share responsibility for fulfilling project deliverables and to provide assistant supervision to PhD and MSc students.

Position summary
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications
To qualify for the postdoctoral position, you must be a PhD with a profile towards physics, chemistry, electronics or material; the degree should generally not be older than three years. You need to be fluent in English and should be able to demonstrate excellent team-working skills as well as a high capacity to carry out advanced experimental work. 

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

Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.
