About this position
KTH Royal Institute of Technology is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral scholarship in Stockholm within the WALP initiative, focused on the electrochemical synthesis of synthetic graphene oxide from carbon fibres.
The project sits at the intersection of electrochemistry, nanocarbon materials, materials science, and chemical engineering. The research aims to develop and scale up a novel electrochemical route for producing ultra-pure synthetic graphene oxide (GO) from carbon fibres, replacing conventional graphite-based routes with a controlled exfoliation process. The work includes optimization of electrolyte composition, voltage, residence time, control of GO structure and oxidation degree, development of continuous or semi-continuous production strategies, and benchmarking against commercial graphene oxide.
The position is hosted at the Department of Fiber and Polymer Technology at KTH in Stockholm, Sweden. The project also emphasizes a mechanistic understanding of electrochemical exfoliation, linking electrochemical response to structural evolution and functional properties of graphene oxide. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in experimental electrochemistry, carbon-based materials, advanced characterization, and scalable materials processing.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related field; have strong experimental experience in electrochemistry; be able to design and execute independent research; and have a record of peer-reviewed publications. Experience with graphene, carbon fibres, nanocarbons, interfaces, solid-liquid interactions, and techniques such as Raman, XPS, SEM/TEM, or AFM is strongly meriting.
Funding: scholarship amount is 29,000 SEK; the post is full-time and explicitly described as a scholarship rather than employment. EU citizens on scholar or private funding must bring EHIC insurance covering the full stay in Sweden.
Application deadline: 2026-06-15. Apply by email to hr@cbh.kth.se with a CV, cover letter, research statement (max 2 pages), and contact details for three references. Use reference number PA-2026-1490.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
