About this position

Chalmers University of Technology is seeking a doctoral student to contribute to the development and manufacturing of next-generation solid-state batteries within the Division of Materials and Manufacture, Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The project focuses on polymer-based solid-state electrolyte synthesis, materials engineering and advanced electrode processing, with particular emphasis on scalable battery manufacturing. The research will investigate how electrolyte materials, interfaces and processing strategies influence the properties and manufacturability of solid-state battery components.

The doctoral student will combine materials synthesis, polymer science and processing technologies while developing scientific concepts and communicating research results in writing and presentations. The work bridges fundamental materials research with practical battery manufacturing and is conducted in an interdisciplinary research environment involving Chalmers, Fraunhofer in Germany, RISE in Sweden and Swedish industrial partners.

The research group works on advanced materials development, electrode processing and battery manufacturing as part of Sweden’s growing battery research and innovation ecosystem. The position also includes advanced courses in the Graduate School of Materials Science and may involve undergraduate teaching or other related duties.

A research exchange at Fraunhofer for at least six months will provide experience in an international research environment and strengthen the project collaboration.

Funding details

The position is fully funded from the start. It is a fixed-term four-year appointment, extendable to five years when teaching or other duties comprise up to 20% of working hours. The starting salary is SEK 35,725 per month, valid from 1 May 2026. The doctoral student is employed by Chalmers and receives employee benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master's degree of 120 Swedish credits or a 60-credit Master's degree in materials science, chemical engineering, materials mechanics, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, physics or production engineering. For education earned outside Sweden, a four-year Bachelor's degree is accepted. Strong written and verbal English communication skills and experience with lithium-ion batteries and/or solid-state electrolyte batteries are mandatory. Experience with solid-state electrolytes, lithium-ion batteries, electrode processing, battery manufacturing or battery binder development strengthens the application. A valid residence permit must be presented by the study start date, and doctoral studies require physical presence throughout the study period.

How to apply

Apply online through the application form linked from the vacancy page by 15 December 2026. Submit English-language PDF files containing a CV, personal letter with motivation, Bachelor's and available Master's theses, and transcripts; incomplete applications and email applications will not be considered.
