About this position

Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden is advertising a Postdoc in Computational Physics of Semiconductors and Functional Materials (ref. REF 2026-0499) in the Division of Condensed Matter and Materials Theory, Department of Physics and Astronomy. The project is centered on computational physics, condensed matter theory, materials science, and semiconductors, with strong links to electronic structure, atomic dynamics, electron-phonon interactions, defects, charge localization, and optical/electronic properties.

The research environment emphasizes theory, method development, and computational modelling, with collaboration across experimental and theoretical partners in Sweden and internationally. The group uses first-principles calculations, molecular dynamics, and machine-learning-based methods to investigate atomic-scale phenomena in functional materials under realistic conditions.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in physics, materials science, chemistry, or a closely related field by the time the employment decision is made. The call also asks for strong English communication skills, experience in computational materials science or condensed matter physics, independent research ability, critical analysis, problem-solving, and good collaboration skills. Experience with advanced methods beyond standard DFT, machine-learning interatomic potentials, computational method development, excited states, finite-temperature properties, or related topics will strengthen the application.

The appointment is a temporary full-time postdoc for two years with a possible one-year extension. The role requires physical presence throughout the employment. Chalmers provides employee benefits, and the post is located in the coastal city of Gothenburg, Sweden.

To apply, submit an English-language application as PDF files only: a comprehensive CV with publications and teaching experience, and a personal letter describing your background, two key scientific contributions, and future research interests. Applications must be submitted through the online application form; email applications and incomplete applications are not accepted. The deadline is 30 Nov. 2026.

Funding details

Temporary full-time postdoc employment for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension. Employee benefits are provided by Chalmers; no stipend or scholarship amount is stated.

What's required

A doctoral degree in physics, materials science, chemistry, or a closely related field is mandatory and must be completed by the time the employment decision is made. Applicants must have strong written and verbal English skills, experience in computational materials science or condensed matter physics, demonstrated ability to conduct independent research, critically analyze results, solve challenging scientific problems, and good communication and collaboration skills. The ability to contribute to research and education, including supervision and teaching, is required. Preference is given to candidates who obtained their doctorate within the last three years and who have experience with advanced computational methods beyond standard DFT, molecular dynamics, machine-learning interatomic potentials, computational method development, electron-phonon interactions, charge localization, defects, excited states, or finite-temperature materials properties.

How to apply

Prepare the application in English as PDF files only, including a comprehensive CV with publication list and teaching/pedagogical experience, plus a personal letter with a brief introduction, examples of scientific contributions, and your future research interests. Submit through the online application form via the Apply button; incomplete applications or email submissions will not be considered.
