Organization:<\/strong> Chalmers University of Technology \u2013 Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Division of Applied Chemistry<\/p>\n

Chalmers University of Technology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher<\/strong> position in the synthesis of conjugated semiconductors for organic photodetectors. The position offers the opportunity to work in a collaborative and dynamic research environment focused on advanced materials for sensing and imaging technologies.<\/p>\n

The project focuses on the development and synthesis of new \u03c0-conjugated organic semiconductors<\/strong> for high-performance organic photodetectors (OPDs). The work integrates molecular design, organic synthesis, purification, and thin-film characterization in collaboration with partners responsible for device fabrication and testing. The overall objective is to establish clear structure\u2013property\u2013performance relationships enabling efficient and stable next-generation photodetectors.<\/p>\n

Key Responsibilities<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Design, synthesize, and characterize \u03c0-conjugated organic semiconductors including small molecules and polymers.<\/li>\n
  • Perform purification, structural characterization, and thin-film processing of organic semiconductor materials.<\/li>\n
  • Investigate structure\u2013property\u2013performance relationships in organic photodetectors.<\/li>\n
  • Collaborate with device researchers to improve OPD performance and stability.<\/li>\n
  • Link material morphology and structure to device metrics and operational stability.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to supervision of Master\u2019s and\/or PhD students.<\/li>\n
  • Possibility to participate in teaching activities at undergraduate or Master\u2019s level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Required Qualifications<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree in a relevant field (required before employment decision).<\/li>\n
    • Experience in synthesis and characterization of organic semiconductors.<\/li>\n
    • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Preferred Qualifications<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Doctoral degree obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline.<\/li>\n
      • Experience with organic photovoltaics or organic photodetectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Employment Conditions<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Full-time temporary postdoctoral position for 2 years<\/strong> with possibility of a 1-year extension<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        • The position requires physical presence during the entire employment period.<\/li>\n
        • A valid residence permit must be presented before the start date if applicable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
