Postdoc in Electrochemistry, Materials Development, and Sustainable Energy Applications at Chalmers University of Technology Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden

Chalmers Department of Physics and Astronomy is advertising a postdoc opportunity in the Electrochemistry group at the Division of Chemical Physics.

The project sits at the intersection of electrochemistry, materials development, process engineering, and environmental science, with a strong focus on electrocatalysis, surface reactions, and sustainable energy applications. The research aims to transform a laboratory breakthrough into a scalable industrial technology for removing mercury from sulfuric acid streams, addressing a major environmental challenge linked to metal smelting.

The post describes a process that has already demonstrated removal of more than 98% of mercury from real industrial sulfuric acid. The successful candidate will help develop this into an industrially relevant solution with potential to reduce global mercury emissions and enable circular recovery of a toxic element.

This is a postdoctoral opening, so it is most relevant for candidates with a strong research background in chemistry, chemical physics, materials science, or related engineering fields. The post emphasizes interest in environmentally impactful research and technology translation.

No deadline, salary, or formal application portal is included in the text provided. Interested applicants should follow the department’s recruitment information or the linked LinkedIn post for further instructions.
