Umeå University in Sweden is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral position in Environmental Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry. The project focuses on hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) , especially the recovery of carbon and organic material from HTC filtrates. The successful candidate will study how self-generated carbon (SGC) forms in process water and what filtrate chemistry controls its formation. The work sits within the RE-FIL project, which aims to turn HTC filtrate from a waste stream ...

About this position

Chalmers University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Langhammer Group in the Division of Chemical Physics. The project combines nanofluidics, nanophotonics and heterogeneous catalysis to investigate catalytic processes at the level of individual nanoparticles.

The research will use nanofluidic reactors together with nanofluidic scattering microscopy to study catalyst nanoparticles localized inside nanochannels. The project will examine whether light scattering can quantify reaction turnover on a few or single nanoparticles and will explore the interaction between plasmonic excitations in catalyst particles and light scattered by the nanochannel.

A further goal is to investigate dynamic structural changes in catalyst particles, metal-support interactions and spill-over effects under changing reaction conditions. The team will also explore pressure gradients along a single nanofluidic channel, enabling visualization of catalytic phenomena across the pressure gap within an optical microscope’s field of view.

The postdoctoral researcher will work with tailored nanofluidic platforms, advanced optical microscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry. Activities include planning and executing experiments, characterizing samples with electron microscopy and X-ray spectroscopies, analyzing complex data using Python or MATLAB-based tools, and presenting results in group meetings, conferences and high-impact scientific journals.

The researcher will become part of the interdisciplinary Langhammer Group, whose work spans nanomaterial science, nanoplasmonics, nanofluidics, label-free single-molecule optical microscopy, single-particle catalysis and hydrogen nanosensors. The project is connected to the ERC CoG project NACAREI and the Chalmers Academic Excellence Programme.

The position is based in Gothenburg within Chalmers’ research environment in technology and natural sciences.

Funding details

Temporary full-time employment for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The postdoctoral researcher is employed by Chalmers and receives employee benefits; the advert does not state a salary or stipend amount or separate tuition funding.

What's required

An experimental doctoral degree in physics or chemical physics with a focus on surface science, surface reactions and catalysis is mandatory and must be completed no later than the employment decision. Applicants must have strong, documented written and verbal English communication skills and good social and collaboration skills, with initiative and responsibility in a teamwork-oriented environment. A doctorate awarded within the previous three years, postdoctoral or doctoral experience in optical microscopy, imaging or spectroscopy applied to heterogeneous catalysis, hands-on experience with UHV systems, quadrupole mass spectrometers, optical microscopy, nanofluidics, Python or MATLAB, and machine-learning-based scientific data analysis are advantageous. A valid residence permit must be presented by the start date.

How to apply

Prepare an English-language application as PDF files, including a comprehensive CV with publications and teaching or pedagogical experience, plus a personal letter covering your background, previous research and outcomes, and future goals and research focus. Submit the files through the application form using the Apply button; applications by email and incomplete applications will not be considered.
