https://www.ferns-project.eu/ ; GA: 101226611)".
Duties The successful candidate will assess the use of low impact and possibly bioderived materials as core components for the development of functional materials (inks and substrates) for application in printed wearables (e.g. e-patch and e-textile) technologies or smart farming.
Activities carried out in the project will be, but not exclusively: (i) development of low impacting functional inks, (ii) development of bioderived films, (iii) development of processes for the printing of the developed materials and (iv) optimization of processes and strategies for the assembling of functional integrating system.
The project will include collaborations with international partners, including short stays (ca. 1 month) in the Netherlands and UK .
The student will be enrolled in the industrial PhD program of LiU. Supervision will be guaranteed by RISE with the support of Prof. Klas Tybrandt at LiU .

The ideal student will have a Master in Material Science, Material Chemistry, Applied Physics or similar subject with significant expertise in the area of material development and characterization. During Bachelor/Master studies, the student will have taken courses in polymer physics, nanotechnology, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and material characterization. Knowledge in screen-printing and/or inkjet printing are desirable.
The student should have a genuine interest in science and for learning new skills, constancy for experimental work and should be able to work collaboratively in a multicultural and multidisciplinary team.
