About this position

This PhD position at KTH Royal Institute of Technology focuses on organic chemistry with an emphasis on electrocatalysis. The successful candidate will conduct research in organic electrosynthesis, a rapidly growing field where electricity replaces traditional chemical reagents, enabling the development of new sustainable and selective methods for organic synthesis.

The project aims to advance environmentally friendly synthesis techniques, particularly through electrochemistry and organocatalysis, with potential applications in biomass valorization. Supervision will be provided by Associate Professor Helena Lundberg. The research environment at KTH is dynamic and international, offering collaboration opportunities with industry and leading universities worldwide.

The position includes a monthly salary according to KTH’s doctoral student salary agreement and access to employee benefits. The workplace is committed to equality, diversity, and a supportive study environment. Applicants must have a master's degree or equivalent, advanced coursework in organic chemistry, and documented skills in organic electrosynthesis. English proficiency is required, and previous experience with electroanalytical techniques is meriting.

The position is full-time for up to four years, with renewal options. Applications must be submitted through KTH’s recruitment system and include a CV, application letter, relevant publications, and references.

The deadline for applications is November 20, 2025. This opportunity is ideal for candidates passionate about sustainable chemistry and innovative research in electrocatalysis.
