About us
The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience advances the frontiers in quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics and future electronic systems - for technical and societal development. Our cross-disciplinary approach gives interesting collaborations in academy, industry and society, and is a driving force for innovations, results and breakthroughs. We offer a vibrant, international research environment and direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities.
At the Electronics Materials and Systems Laboratory, we explore how advanced materials and microsystems can transform electronics, biomedicine, and sensing. Our research spans carbon-based materials/devices, bioelectronic microsystems, unconventional computing, liquid crystals and nanomaterials for applications such as thermal management, neural interfaces, energy harvesting and storage, and optics. From AI modelling of materials and biological complexity to the design of multifunctional micro- and nano systems, we combine theory, fabrication, and innovation to tackle challenges in energy, ICT, and life sciences.
About the research project
The research is about integrated cooling and heat dissipations solutions using low-dimensional materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and carbon nanotubes for cooling of power modules.
Who we are looking for
The following requirements are mandatory:
• Ph.D. within one of following fields: Thermal Science and Engineering, Physical Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, Polymer Science and Engineering, Nanotechnology. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to work well in collaboration with coworkers as well as individually.
You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
