About this position

Chalmers University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project on the nanoscale chemistry of bone mineral. The position is based in the Division of Microstructure Physics within the Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the research group of Chiara Micheletti, with close collaboration from Mattias Thuvander and Per Malmberg.

Bone is an organic–inorganic nanocomposite composed of collagen and mineral. Its chemical composition, minor substituents, and compositional heterogeneities are not yet fully understood. The project will develop a correlative analytical platform capable of resolving bone chemistry at the nanoscale while preserving the complexity of the tissue architecture.

The researcher will combine time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and atom probe tomography (APT), supported by advanced instrumentation at the Chalmers Materials Analysis Laboratory. The work includes developing and optimizing correlative workflows, establishing focused-ion-beam-based sample preparation strategies, conducting chemical imaging experiments, and interpreting multiscale datasets in relation to bone tissue structure and composition.

The role offers an interdisciplinary research environment connecting materials science, chemistry, physics, advanced instrumentation, and biological tissue characterization. Activities include publishing and presenting research, collaborating across departments, and potentially contributing to undergraduate or master’s teaching and supervision.

Funding details

Temporary full-time employment for two years. The postdoctoral researcher is employed by Chalmers and receives employee benefits; no specific salary or tuition funding amount is stated.

What's required

A doctoral degree in Materials Science or Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related discipline must be obtained no later than the employment decision. Applicants must have strong written and verbal English communication skills and demonstrated ability to conduct independent experimental research. Candidates must either have strong proficiency in atom probe tomography and/or ToF-SIMS, or expertise in bone or mineralized tissue research combined with proficiency in advanced imaging or spectroscopic characterization such as electron microscopy or Raman spectroscopy. Meritorious experience includes a doctorate obtained within the last three years before the deadline, FIB instrumentation and sample preparation, preparation of biological or mineralized tissue samples, bone biology and mineralization, and processing and interpretation of mass spectrometry datasets.

How to apply

Prepare an English-language CV with a complete publication list and a personal letter covering your background, previous research and outcomes, future goals, and research focus.
