Postdoc in Doping of Conjugated Polymers for Organic Electronics Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden

Join the Müller Research Group at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, as a Postdoctoral researcher in the field of organic electronics. This position focuses on the doping and characterization of conjugated polymers, with applications ranging from wearable electronics to bioelectronics. The group is internationally recognized for its work in physical chemistry and materials science of organic semiconductors, polymer blends, and composites, and collaborates with universities, institutes, and industry partners.

The research project aims to advance understanding of the electrical and mechanical properties of doped conjugated polymers. You will work closely with a diverse team of PhD students and Postdocs, and have opportunities to collaborate with external labs. The project is interdisciplinary, combining chemistry, materials science, and engineering, and is suitable for candidates with strong backgrounds in these areas.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree (or equivalent foreign degree) in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science, completed by the time of employment decision. Essential qualifications include excellent English communication skills, a promising publication record, and significant experience in processing and structural, electrical, or mechanical characterization of conjugated polymers. Experience with doping of organic semiconductors and a recent doctoral degree (within three years) are advantageous. The role involves mentoring students and may include teaching at undergraduate or master's level.

The position is a full-time temporary employment for up to two years, with possible extension for one additional year depending on project funding. The monthly salary is approximately 40,000 SEK before tax (€3,700), and includes comprehensive employee benefits such as healthcare, parental leave, subsidized day care, and free schools. Physical presence in Gothenburg is required throughout the employment, and a valid residence permit must be presented by the start date.

Chalmers University of Technology offers a dynamic and inspiring working environment, with a strong commitment to gender balance, equality, and inclusion. Swedish language courses are available for non-native speakers. The university fosters scientific excellence and innovation, with a focus on sustainable solutions and global engagement.

To apply, submit your application via the online form by 30 April 2026. Required documents include a comprehensive CV, personal letter, list of publications, and PhD thesis, all in PDF format. Incomplete applications or those sent by email will not be considered. Contact details to references will be requested after the interview. For questions, contact Professor Christian Müller at [email protected].

This is an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers to develop their expertise in organic electronics and materials science, and to contribute to cutting-edge research in a collaborative and supportive environment.
