About this position
Chalmers University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study self-assembled optical microcavities at the interface of nanophotonics, biophysics, and photochemistry.
The research will investigate the use of self-assembled optical microcavities in microfluidic environments for biosensing applications. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct optical experiments, including transmission and reflection spectroscopy, and analyse the resulting data using a range of methods. The work will also involve numerical simulations and critical assessment of the performance and potential of the proposed sensing platform.
The project is based in the Division of Nano- and Bio Physics, which conducts experimental and theoretical research on light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. The division combines nanophotonics, biophysics, and photochemistry and provides access to advanced experimental facilities, including the MC2 clean room, Chalmers materials analysis laboratory, and advanced laser facilities.
The researcher will work in a collaborative environment in Gothenburg, contributing to research that combines optical microscopy, spectroscopy, microfluidics, surface chemistry, and quantitative data analysis.
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; no specific salary or stipend amount is stated.
What's required
A doctoral degree in physics or chemistry is mandatory, along with strong written and verbal communication skills in English and experience in optical microscopy, spectroscopy, and biophysics. Experience in microfluidics and surface chemistry is advantageous. A doctoral degree obtained within the three years before the application deadline is highly meritorious. The position requires physical presence throughout the employment and a valid residence permit by the start date.
