About this position
Linköping University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at the Department of Science and Technology, Campus Norrköping. The researcher will work in the Organic Bioelectronics group on soft, substrate-free conducting materials and organic bioelectronic electrodes for interfaces with the nervous system.
The project builds on enzyme-triggered electrode fabrication in animal models and investigates enzymatic and other polymerization approaches for forming organic electrodes directly in living tissue. The work will address challenges including scar-tissue formation and limited biocompatibility, with the goal of developing extended interfaces with neural tissue and supporting bioelectronic applications in dysfunctional brain regions.
The postdoctoral researcher will evaluate monomers and polymers for organic electronic and bioelectronic devices, develop formulations for in situ formation of conducting materials, and characterize materials and devices electrochemically. Applications include biosensing and in vivo bioelectronic interfaces. Potential methods include electrochemistry, optical and other microscopy, quartz crystal microbalance, impedance spectroscopy, and related electrical characterization techniques in non-biological settings, with in vivo work conducted through collaboration.
The researcher will contribute to integrated in situ bioelectronics platforms with internal, national, and international collaborators, prepare reports and presentations, and support manuscript development. The position is primarily research-focused, with teaching potentially comprising up to 20% of working time.
The work will be carried out in the highly collaborative Laboratory of Organic Electronics, which brings together research in organic semiconductors, biomaterials, hybrid organic materials, device physics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and system design. The Organic Bioelectronics group investigates transduction between electronic and ionic or molecular signals, iontronic delivery and circuitry, biosensors, and technologies inspired by neural function.

What's required
Applicants must have a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree by the employment decision date, preferably awarded no more than three years before the application deadline. A PhD in organic chemistry, materials science, or an equivalent field is required, along with experience in synthetic organic chemistry, electrochemistry, biochemistry, and optical materials characterization such as UV-Vis absorption. Applicants should demonstrate interest in applying these skills to bioelectronics and biomedical engineering, have a first- or lead-author peer-reviewed publication, scientific presentation skills, and written and oral proficiency in English. Merit is given for experience in organic bioelectronics, implant design, conducting polymers, aggregation chemistry, pi-stacking, self-organization, polymerization in living environments, thin-film preparation and characterization, cleanroom facilities, electrochemical methods, scientific reporting, data visualization, and manuscript writing. Strong problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and suitability are also emphasized.
