This doctoral project focuses on flexible X-ray detectors , a future technology with potential applications across scientific, medical and technological areas. The research aims to enable flexible detectors by developing new organic semiconductors that can meet demanding requirements for flexibility, X-ray absorption and charge transport. You will work on the development of X-ray detectors using new materials and advanced characterisation methods. The project is highly collaborative and brings together researchers in chemistry, materials science and component/device physics. At Linköping University, the work is connected to the group led by Professor Feng Gao , which focuses on solution-processed optoelectronic devices, particularly semiconducting perovskites and organic semiconductors. The project is part of a broader research collaboration that also involves groups at Chalmers University of Technology and Uppsala University , supporting regular interaction with several participating research teams. The environment is centered on developing photonic and electronic materials for energy conversion and storage within the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology structure referenced in the advert. As a doctoral student, you will be enrolled in doctoral education while carrying out the research project. The role is research-focused and may also include limited teaching or other departmental duties.

PhD project in flexible X-ray detectors at Linköping University. This doctoral position is centered on developing flexible X-ray detectors as a future technology for scientific, medical, and technological applications. The project aims to realize flexible detectors by creating new organic semiconductors that can combine flexibility, X-ray absorption, and charge transport in a single material platform. The PhD student will focus on the development of X-ray detectors using new materials, supported by advanced characterisation. The work is embedded in a collaborative research effort involving chemists, materials scientists, and device physicists, with close interaction across participating groups at Linköping University, Chalmers University, and Uppsala University. The position is hosted in the group led by Professor Feng Gao at Linköping University. The group works on solution-processed optoelectronic devices, with emphasis on semiconducting perovskites and organic semiconductors, within an environment dedicated to photonic and electronic materials, energy conversion, and storage. The project also connects to a broader network of researchers led by Professor Mats Fahlman, Professor Eva Olsson, and Professor Sascha Ott. The role is structured as doctoral research, with most time devoted to the PhD project and possible teaching or departmental duties as part of the employment.
