About this position

Linköping University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on heterogeneous catalysis of vapor-phase reactants in the Catalysis and Self-Assembly Group (CATSA) and the Berggren Group at the Department of Science and Technology, Norrköping Campus.

The project investigates vapor-phase reactions involving high-boiling-point liquids. By moving reactions from liquid to vapor phase, the research will explore increased reactant diffusion, concentrations not limited by liquid solubility, and the removal of solvent effects. The postdoctoral researcher will examine how reaction mechanisms differ between vapor and liquid phases and assess whether vapor pressures and thermal stability permit effective vapor-phase processing.

Research activities may include testing catalysts and reactions in reactors equipped with inline gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, synthesizing heterogeneous catalysts, and applying electron microscopy, spectroscopy, XPS, XRD, BET, and isotope labeling. The researcher will also collaborate with computational chemists to elucidate reaction mechanisms and contribute to the broader development of new vapor-phase reactions.

The position is part of the multidisciplinary e-foods project, involving researchers across chemistry, physics, materials science, and mathematics. Most of the work will be conducted in the CATSA group, led by Assistant Professor Alexander Holm, with access to specialized heterogeneous-catalysis infrastructure and advanced characterization through collaboration with the electron microscopy center at Stockholm University.

Funding details

This is a full-time temporary postdoctoral employment for two years, with the possibility of extension up to a maximum total of three years. The starting salary is approximately SEK 43,000 per month, with individually set salaries under applicable collective agreements. Benefits include 28 paid vacation days per year, full access to the Swedish healthcare system, paid parental leave, and employer-accrued pension.

What's required

By the start date, applicants must hold a PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, materials science, or a related field. Applicants must demonstrate expertise in at least one, preferably more, of heterogeneous catalysis, elucidation of reaction mechanisms, or design of laboratory flow reactors, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, papers under review, conference proceedings, courses taught, or similar achievements. Applicants should be highly self-motivated, have a strong interest in fundamental research, and demonstrate suitable personal qualities.
