Then apply for this position!
Information about the research
The project will be conducted within the research group of Maths Karlsson at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. The group focuses on studies of various fundamental aspects of structure and dynamics in functional - mostly energy relevant - materials, such as luminescent materials, solid state ionic conductors, and gas storage materials, with a view towards their application in various technological devices. A unifying theme in almost every aspect of this research is the goal to develop a detailed understanding of the coupling of the materials' functional properties to their atomic scale structure and dynamics. The primary tools to this end involve the use and development of a broad range of neutron and photon scattering techniques, vibrational spectroscopy, and optical techniques, often complemented with computer modeling by collaborating research groups.
Major responsibilities
The tasks in this (short term) research project focus on the characterization of dynamics in novel gas storage and water harvesting materials using advanced neutron scattering techniques, especially inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering, but other neutron techniques such as neutron imaging may be also used.
The project is intended for a period over 11 months, starting in June 2023, and centers around the collaboration between the research groups of Prof. Maths Karlsson and Lars Öhrström, both at Chalmers University of Technology. The Öhrström group will be responsible for the sample preparation and gas sorption experiments, whereas the Karlsson group will be responsible for the neutron scattering analysis.
Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment.
Expected to begin 2023-06-03
Qualifications
To be qualified for this researcher position, you must hold (or have fulfilled all requirements for) a PhD in Materials Science or a related discipline. Additionally, you must be an expert in the use of neutron scattering techniques, especially in inelastic and/or quasielastic neutron scattering. As the project will involve the close collaboration with several other research groups, as well as with PhD students and Postdocs in the group of Karlsson, the candidate must have excellent communication skills (both oral and written). Additionally, since the project centers around experiments at international neutron facilities, the candidate must be willing and have a flexible approach to traveling, sometimes on a short notice.
