By creating arenas for exchange of knowledge from different subjects, fields and cultures, we open up for new ideas and create new opportunities for long-term sustainable societal development. Linnaeus University - where people grow.
The Faculty of Technology has a wide range of activities within ten different departments, where Linnaeus University conducts education and research in the technical subjects. The Department of Forestry and Wood Technology conducts a thematic activity that ranges from seedlings to finished technical wood products. The forest as a resource with its climate benefits throughout the entire life cycle, is the focus of operations at the institution. With this theme, the institution meets society's challenges.
Subject area for the position: Forest Materials
Location until further notice: Växjö
Hours and term: Temporary employment 100% for 2 years
Starting date: As soon as possible.
Job description
The interest in developing bio-based adhesives for wood composites is higher than ever. However, the functionality of bio-adhesives needs to be improved in order to meet industrial requirements. Your work as a postdoc will primarily consist of research in characterization and application of carbon-based materials, which includes developing optimum conditions for the application of different 2D materials in bio-adhesives for manufacturing more sustainable and environmentally friendly wood-based composites. The project will be carried out through close collaboration with Swedish and international industrial partners. Therefore, besides the scientific tasks, the position also includes responsibility for research communication by participating in national and international meetings. Publishing both popular science articles and scientific articles are central parts of the work.
The postdoctoral fellow is expected to actively participate in the department's environment and network both internally and externally, as well as develop new project ideas and seek project funding. A certain amount of teaching and supervision at basic, advanced and/or postgraduate levels may be included in the duties.
In addition to the mentor group, the postdoc will collaborate with national and international experts in the field.
Qualifications
Qualified for the position is a person who holds a doctoral degree in polymer science, chemical engineering, bio-adhesive or in a relevant subject, or has a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctorate.
Since employment as a postdoctoral fellow is career-developing, we are primarily looking for candidates who have completed their doctorate no more than three years before the application deadline.
An applicant must not previously have been employed as a postdoc for more than a year within the same or a related subject area at Linnaeus University.
Eligibility for this position also requires demonstrated scientific skill in the area previously mentioned. The position also requires excellent communication skills in written and spoken English, as well as a good ability to work independently and in a group.
Assessment criteria
Theoretical knowledge and practical experience of carbon-based materials, polymeric materials and composites are meritorious. Good scientific publication rate and experience in applying for external project funding is desirable. A postdoc fellow is part of a research team; consequently, flexibility and an ability to cooperate and collaborate are given great importance. Documented experience of research in bio-adhesives synthesis and evaluations. In the overall assessment of the scientific skill, special emphasis is placed on the applicants' potential for a successful career as a teacher and researcher.
When the university employs new teachers, the choice should fall on those applicants who, based on a qualitative holistic assessment of competence and skills, are considered most likely to successfully perform and develop relevant tasks and contribute to successful development of the organization.
