Skilled and committed employees are a crucial factor in the success of Linköping University. And we need more of them. Our core expertise comes from teachers and researchers, but a successful university requires experienced and motivated employees in many fields. Everyone is important. We need to recruit many new employees thanks to, among all, an expansion in our research activity. We need you here. We look forward to receiving your application!

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology conducts research and offers education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Research, the predominant activity, is often done in collaboration with corporate and international partners. We are one of the university's largest, oldest and most well known departments, encompassing five interacting scientific fields: biology, chemistry, material physics, applied physics and theory and modelling.

We are now looking to appoint a postdoc in the field of materials science with a particular focus on surface chemistry.

Work assignments
Your tasks will be computational studies of chemical reactions on surfaces, contributing towards the understanding the formation mechanisms of atomically precise carbon nanostructures, using methods based on density functional theory (DFT). You will work within a team but will be responsible for your individual research projects. Part of the work will be in direct contact with international collaborators.

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 workplace
You will be employed in the Materials Design division at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM), where you will be part of the Materials Theory unit.

Qualifications
To be qualified to take employment as postdoc, you must have been awarded a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This degree must have been awarded at the latest by the point at which LiU makes its decision to employ you.

It is considered advantageous if your doctoral degree is no older than three years at application deadline for this job. If there are special reasons for having an older doctoral degree - such as taking statutory leave - then these may be taken into consideration.

We are seeking applicants who have a doctoral degree in theoretical chemistry, computational physics, or related areas, and with previous experience in computational studies using electronic structure theory-based methods. Of particular value is documented experience in computational modeling of chemical reactions and/or molecular adsorption. Proficiency in spoken and written English is a requirement.
