About this position

This post-doctoral project at Lund University develops AI-based protein design approaches for generating programmable protein–semiconductor two-dimensional metamaterials. The research aims to use de novo designed proteins as nanoscale construction systems that can organize semiconductor materials into precisely defined periodic structures, moving beyond conventional top-down fabrication toward molecular-scale control.

The project brings together computational protein design, protein self-assembly, semiconductor nanotechnology, and solid-state physics. The work may involve developing computational pipelines for protein design, producing and validating designed proteins experimentally, optimizing self-assembling protein systems, and synthesizing and characterizing protein–semiconductor hybrid materials. It also includes high-throughput screening and structural, optical, and electrical characterization of the resulting materials.

The lab presents a research environment focused on ambitious fundamental science with translation into technologies with real-world impact. The description highlights potential applications in metasurfaces, metalenses, optical materials, sensors, nanoelectronics, photonics, and biologically manufactured functional materials. Researchers are encouraged to identify new scientific directions and opportunities emerging from the project, including possible spinouts and entrepreneurial paths.

The post is connected to the WISE Research School, which offers a nationwide multidisciplinary network with seminars, courses, research visits, and related activities for early-stage researchers in Sweden. The position is described as a career-development role with strong emphasis on research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and development of new experimental and computational approaches.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, in the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the employment decision date, unless special circumstances apply. A doctoral degree or equivalent research experience in a relevant field such as protein design, computational bioinformatics, hybrid materials, or a closely related field is required. Very good oral and written proficiency in English is required. The post emphasizes strong research excellence, independent problem-solving, interdisciplinary collaboration, and teaching skills. Additional merit is given for experience in AI-based or computational models for molecular or materials design, nanoscale characterization of inorganic materials, inorganic mineralization or biomineralization, experimental protein production and characterization, and high-throughput experimentation or design-build-test-learn workflows.

How to apply

Prepare an English-language PDF application containing a CV with publications, a summary of past research and future research interests (max three pages), contact details for at least two references, a copy of the doctoral degree certificate, and any other relevant certificates/grades. Include a GitHub or GitLab link if available, then submit via the application portal.
