About this position

Linköping University in Sweden is advertising a postdoctoral position in electrocatalysis for sustainable energy and chemical conversion in the Lizhou Fan group at the Division of Materials Design, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM).

The project sits at the intersection of chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, and environmental science. Research topics include CO2 electroreduction, water splitting and green hydrogen production, biomass-derived molecule upgrading, nitrogen reduction, small-molecule transformations, electrolyzer design, and operando spectroscopy. The role emphasizes linking catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, advanced characterization, and device-level optimization for practical energy applications.

The successful candidate will contribute to independent and collaborative research, publish in peer-reviewed journals, present at conferences, and help supervise junior researchers. The group works within the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), offering access to a strong international network and a multidisciplinary research environment.

Eligibility highlights: a doctoral degree or equivalent is required by the employment decision date; a PhD in chemistry, materials science, or a related field is preferred. Strong experience in electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, materials chemistry, catalyst synthesis/characterization, operando Raman/FTIR/XAS, electrolyzer or reactor design, and mechanistic studies is advantageous. Good English communication skills are required.

Employment details: full-time, temporary contract for two years with possible extension up to three years. Salary is individual. The application deadline is 2 July 2026.

How to apply: submit the application through Linköping University’s online portal and attach selected research publications. If any publications cannot be uploaded electronically, send three printed sets by mail so they arrive before the deadline.
