About this position

Chalmers University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the MIN2MAG international research project, which aims to develop high-performance permanent magnets from critical mineral resources.

The researcher will work on materials design, advanced processing and microstructure engineering, with a particular focus on rare-earth magnets. The project examines how composition and processing conditions influence microstructure and magnetic properties, supporting the development of sustainable, high-performance magnetic materials for applications such as electric vehicles and wind turbines.

The role combines independent experimental research with leadership and coordination. Activities include advanced materials characterization, magnetic measurements, scientific publication, research proposal development and collaboration with international project partners through joint experiments, research visits and knowledge exchange.

The position is based in the Division of Materials and Manufacture within Chalmers’ Department of Mechanical Engineering. The division researches the full materials and manufacturing value chain, combining expertise in materials design, processing, advanced manufacturing and characterization with close industry collaboration. The postdoctoral researcher will also mentor master’s and doctoral students and may contribute to undergraduate or master’s teaching.

Questions may be directed to Assistant Professor Varun Chaudhary or Professor and Head of Division Uta Klement. The research environment offers international collaboration and opportunities to develop scientific independence.

Funding details

This is a temporary full-time, employee postdoctoral position for two years, with the possibility of a one-year extension. The postdoctoral researcher receives Chalmers employee benefits. No salary amount is specified in the announcement.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree in materials science, physics, mechanical engineering, chemistry, a closely related field, or an equivalent foreign degree by the time the employment decision is made. Strong written and verbal English communication skills are required, along with experience in magnetic materials, alloy development, materials processing, or microstructural characterization. Applicants must be able to conduct independent experimental research, take initiative, and collaborate effectively across disciplines. Some teaching experience and demonstrated potential in research and education are expected. Experience in permanent magnets, magnetic characterization, grain-boundary engineering, processing–microstructure–property relationships, or computational materials science is meritorious. A valid residence permit must be presented by the start date.
