About this position
PhD project in flexible X-ray detectors at Linköping University. This doctoral position is centered on developing flexible X-ray detectors as a future technology for scientific, medical, and technological applications. The project aims to realize flexible detectors by creating new organic semiconductors that can combine flexibility, X-ray absorption, and charge transport in a single material platform.
The PhD student will focus on the development of X-ray detectors using new materials, supported by advanced characterisation. The work is embedded in a collaborative research effort involving chemists, materials scientists, and device physicists, with close interaction across participating groups at Linköping University, Chalmers University, and Uppsala University.
The position is hosted in the group led by Professor Feng Gao at Linköping University. The group works on solution-processed optoelectronic devices, with emphasis on semiconducting perovskites and organic semiconductors, within an environment dedicated to photonic and electronic materials, energy conversion, and storage. The project also connects to a broader network of researchers led by Professor Mats Fahlman, Professor Eva Olsson, and Professor Sascha Ott.
The role is structured as doctoral research, with most time devoted to the PhD project and possible teaching or departmental duties as part of the employment.
Funding details
PhD employment funded through a joint project supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation; employment follows locally negotiated PhD salary progression.
What's required
Applicants must have a Master's level degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials, or a related field, or completed at least 240 credits with at least 60 advanced credits in Physics, Chemistry, Materials, or a related field, or have essentially corresponding knowledge. Candidates are expected to work independently, collaborate openly in a team, act as a source of information on scientific protocols and experimental techniques, take initiative, acquire new knowledge, and have prior experimental experience relevant to physics and/or materials/device development.
