https://liu.se/en/work-at-liu/vacancies/24873The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University is recruiting this tenure-track Assistant Professor with a generous starting package through the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability
(WISE, wise-materials.org).
Work assignments
This Assistant Professorship focuses on research in the field of inorganic functional materials with the aim of developing and advancing sustainable materials and technologies for conversion and capture technologies. A particular focus is on experimental activities related to surface physics/chemistry and catalysis, including, but not being limited to, water splitting and CO2 capture and conversion. Placement will be at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University.
With the help of a very competitive start-up package including funding for two PhD students, two postdocs, and own salary; state-of-the art facilities; and an environment characterized by strong internal and international collaboration, the applicant is expected to establish and maintain an independent research program in inorganic functional materials for conversion and capture technologies which complements and expands IFM's current research activities.
IFM has internationally leading scientists and several world-leading labs in the area of Materials Science. Research themes span materials synthesis and characterization, sustainability, devices, and applications, including thin films, nanoparticles, 2D, 1D and mesoporous materials, which are characterized in our state-of-the-art laboratories with respect to structure and composition, down to atomic level, using e.g. diffraction, spectroscopy and advanced microscopy. IFM currently have about 400 researchers, students, and staff spanning 10 research divisions and a division for lab management and technical support. WISE, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and includes major investments at seven of Sweden's leading universities over (at least) 10 years. The vision is to enable a sustainable world through materials science.
