About the position

The position involves research within optics and materials science, with a particular focus on nano-optical studies of conducting polymers. The work includes experimental tasks such as fabrication, characterization, and measurements of nanostructured surfaces made of conducting polymers.

The position also involves optical simulations, as well as the preparation of scientific manuscripts and reports. In addition, supervision of doctoral students may be included in the role.

About you

We are looking for a candidate with strong research credentials, as well as the ability and motivation to lead independent research within the project. You are a collaborative team player and have excellent communication skills in spoken and written English.

• A doctoral degree (PhD) or equivalent in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field
• Demonstrated ability to conduct high-quality scientific research within a relevant area

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in optical studies of nanostructured conducting polymers
• Experience with optical simulations
• Experience in nanofabrication (e.g., electron beam lithography)
• Experience with other relevant scientific instruments and measurement techniques
• Experience in data analysis and physical modelling

The workplace

You will be employed at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE), within the Organic Photonics and Nano-Optics group.

At LOE, we study electronically and ionically conducting organic materials across a wide range of research areas, including energy technologies, printed electronics, photonics, and bioelectronics. Within the Organic Photonics and Nano-Optics group, we focus particularly on organic materials such as conducting polymers and cellulose, with the aim of developing new optical concepts such as tunable metasurfaces and systems with controllable thermal radiation.
