As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.

Are you passionate about addressing climate change and enhancing agricultural productivity? Join us in pioneering research that tackles these global challenges.

We are seeking a motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our cutting-edge project aimed at developing organic bioelectronic technologies. Our goal is to revolutionize plant science by creating tools that monitor and influence plant physiology, paving the way for innovative agricultural applications.

You will be part of an environment with several recently initiated research projects on themes related to cultural perspectives on preparedness, war, and security, as well as media and everyday perceptions of threats and security. The environment includes modern history research that is part of a large multidisciplinary research program on apocalyptic imaginaries, funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. In addition, there is a project on warning sounds and citizen information which uses historical, media studies, and ethnographic approaches, funded by Vetenskapsrådet. We would like to see that the research you conduct is in an exciting way related to or expands on one of these themes and that you strengthen and enrich the environment and existing research with your own line of research. You will work in a team with Professor Marie Cronqvist and her research group. Describe your intended research in a research plan that you attach to the application. The research plan shall include purpose and research questions, a literature review, and a description of theory, method, and sources. It should not exceed five pages including references.

As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours. The position requires regular physical presence at the workplace and active participation in joint seminars and other research-related activities. Some research administration, such as the organization of conferences, symposia, or workshops may also be included.

The research focuses on 6G wireless technology, including distributed MIMO, distributed sensing and localization, hardware-efficient signal processing, synchronization, robustness to jamming and spoofing attacks, and communication-efficient distributed machine learning.

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team focused on the development of implantable drug delivery systems for the next generation of cancer therapies. The bioSWITCH implant concept is based on a combination of “iontronic” electrophoretic drug delivery and click-to-release chemistry for targeted, programmable, and precise dosage of potent chemotherapeutics. This postdoc position is focused specifically on the fabrication, characterization, optimization, and implementation of iontronic drug delivery devices – in a variety of geometries and experimental setups, including biological experiments with our bioSWITCH collaborators in Austria (Graz and Vienna). These tasks will include experimental design and automation, as well as integration with our custom hardware and software.

The successful candidate will have strong problem-solving skills, be able to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary and international team and have excellent communication abilities. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the interface between chemistry, biology, and electronics in the highly collaborative and supportive Laboratory of Organic Electronics (www.liu.se/loe)

We are looking for a team player with exceptional motivation and drive, solution-oriented thinking, and strong problem-solving skills. If you meet these qualifications and are eager to contribute to innovative and translational research, we encourage you to apply.

The work includes experimental research in electrochemistry, especially studies of electrocatalytic oxygen reactions and CO₂ conversion. These reactions are crucial for the technology development for a sustainable society, e.g. fuel cells, electrolyzers, and carbon dioxide utilization. The catalysts we develop are either multicomponent thin films or mesoporous transition metal oxides, both made from abundant, cheap, non-toxic elements. Your research tasks cover, for example, designing and using experimental cells for in situ studies of catalytic reactions by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, x-ray spectroscopy and electrocatalytic evaluation. Synthesis of catalysts and their materials characterization may be included depending on your background. Within the project, you will collaborate closely with doctoral and master’s students.

This postdoc position is focused on bullying among children and adolescents. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to develop and conduct quantitative research on school bullying, including collecting and statistically analyzing data, in collaboration with other researchers at the department.

As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.

The candidate will design new methods for stretchable laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrodes by exploring the structure-property relationship of how laser parameters and substrate composition affects morphology and the relevant conductivity, electrochemical and mechanical properties. Biomaterials such as lignin, cellulose, and gelatin, amongst others will be explored as substrates for the LIG electrodes. Once optimized, the postdoc will investigate the feasibility of the electrodes for an electrode-less battery concept by developing new electrolyte systems and perform their relevant electrochemical characterization. Integration of the developed battery cell into a wearable device will be explored. The work is part of an ongoing effort within the Soft Electronics Group in sustainable and stretchable energy devices and the project will be highly collaborative within the group (Asst. Prof. Aiman Rahmanudin), LOE and external partners.

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. The host has an excellent track record (>50% success rate) in acquiring Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships and the hired candidate is encouraged to develop an application supported by the host.
