About this position

This postdoctoral project at Uppsala University is based in the Department of Chemistry - Ångström and focuses on the development of metal hydrides for hydrogen storage. The work sits within a collaborative effort to develop instrumentation for in situ neutron diffraction and imaging during hydrogen absorption and desorption at the European Spallation Source (ESS).

The successful candidate will work on the synthesis and structural characterisation of metal hydrides, with a strong emphasis on diffraction-based methods. The project combines laboratory synthesis using high-temperature methods with advanced characterisation using X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and in-situ measurements, alongside additional structural and property measurements. Hydrogen absorption experiments form part of the research, and the project uses a newly developed state-of-the-art instrument designed to enable unique in situ studies of hydrogen storage materials.

The position is placed within the program of inorganic chemistry at the Department of Chemistry - Ångström, a large and active research environment with substantial externally funded projects and international collaboration. The role is research-intensive and may include limited teaching, together with research-related duties such as applying for beamtimes, supervision of degree projects, and administrative tasks connected to the work.

The project is supervised by Dr Rebecca Clulow.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD degree in inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry or a related subject by the time of the employment decision. Those who obtained the PhD within three years before the application deadline are primarily considered, though the period may be extended for special circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave or union duties. Strong expertise in materials chemistry, synthesis and diffraction-based techniques is essential, with clear evidence of relevant experience. Prior knowledge of structure-property relationships and general materials characterisation such as thermal analysis and electron microscopy is expected. Fluency in English and excellent written and oral communication skills are required. Desirable experience includes neutron diffraction, imaging, hydrogenation and prior work on metal hydride systems. Applications are assessed on eligibility, related experience, personal suitability, scientific quality, collaborative skills, drive and independence.
