Developing more efficient catalysts is key to a sustainable society. In this project you will tailor your own model catalyst samples at the nanoscale using the state-of-the-art material preparation techniques at Chalmers. Using cutting-edge large scale synchrotron facilities such as Max IV, Petra III and the ESRF you will investigate their atomic-scale properties under realistic reaction conditions. As member of the Hejral group funded by WISE, you will work in a large and interdisciplinary national and international network.

Project description


Against the background of global warming the chemical transformation of the greenhouse gases into value-added products with the aim to store energy in form of molecules becomes all the more essential. The partial oxidation of methane (POM) constitutes an energy-saving route to activate the greenhouse gas methane to produce syngas, a fundamental building block in chemical industry for the production of methanol and olefins. However, for POM to occur at energy-saving low temperatures, novel catalyst materials of improved activity need to be identified and investigated.

In this respect, the alloying of Ni catalysts with noble metals has been found beneficial. However, the interplay between the catalyst structure, its alloy composition, its surface chemistry and the catalytic activity needs to be understood on the atomic scale under realistic high pressure reaction conditions. The current position will focus on the preparation and investigation of alloy model catalysts for POM using synchrotron-based operando techniques, where the designing and the setting up of an operando high pressure cell for synchrotron-based High Energy Surface X-ray Diffraction (HESXRD) studies is foreseen. Prior to synchrotron beamtimes the catalyst samples will be prepared and pre-characterized in the homelab.

This recruitment is connected to the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE, wise-materials.org). WISE, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and will encompass major efforts at Sweden’s foremost universities over the course of 10 years. The vision is a sustainable future through materials science.

All early-stage researchers recruited into the WISE program will be a part of the WISE Graduate School (https://wise-materials.org/research/graduate-school), an ambitious nationwide program of seminars, courses, research visits, and other activities to promote a strong multi-disciplinary and international network between PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and industry.


Information about the division and the department
The Hejral group at the Division of Chemical Physics is on the forefront of the synchrotron-based operando investigation of defined model catalyst surfaces for energy conversion, both in thermal catalysis and in electrochemistry studies. The operando synchrotron studies are carried out all over Europe (e.g. Petra III, Max IV, ESRF, Soleil, Diamond Light Source) and include HESXRD, for the fast data acquisition for surface structure determination, and gas phase X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), for complementary information on the catalyst surface chemistry. The ultra-high-vacuum based preparation of well-defined model catalysts allows us to highlight certain aspects of the catalyst samples (e.g. nanoparticle shape, size, alloy composition). Thus, we can unravel the interplay between the atomic scale structure and composition of the nanocatalyts and its catalytic properties, leading to a knowledge-based tailoring of more efficient catalysts.

The Division of Chemical Physics is part of the Department of Physics and focuses on the investigation of functional nanomaterials, where most projects are connected to the development of improved sustainable materials for energy storage, fuel cells, fuel production, the purification of aqueous solutions and photovoltaics. Chemical Physics performs cutting-edge research by using its strong interdisciplinarity: the Division combines both, experimental and theoretical expertise, spanning from the investigation of surface plasmons and the design of nano-structured catalyst materials to density functional theory calculations to understand reaction kinetics.
It provides an international and family-friendly environment that highly cherishes the Chalmers fundamental values: quality, openness, inclusion, respect and diversity. We highly support the professional growth of our employees, for instance by offering specialized courses and participation in international conferences and summer/winter schools.

We are offering a postdoc position in the areas of higher category theory, homotopy type theory and constructive mathematics, with a competitive monthly salary and full social benefits. 

General Information
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is a fully integrated department with the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology as principals. The department is widely recognised for excellent research and education, and strongly international with approximately 300 employees from more than 40 countries. Our department is located in Sweden’s second largest city Gothenburg – the world’s most sustainable destination every year since 2016 according to the Global Destination Sustainability Index.

The department is organised in four divisions where research spans from theoretical foundations to applied systems development. The position is placed in the Logic and Types unit of the Computing Science division, with Chalmers University of Technology as employer. You will be part of a lively research environment with fun interaction with researchers in the area of the position and in other areas such as type theory, graph theory, functional programming, formal methods and information security.

Project Background and Description
Category theory is an organizing language for mathematics. Higher categories generalize categories, replacing sets of morphisms between objects by homotopy types. Certain phenomena such as descent or univalence admit a satisfactory explanation only in the higher categorical world.

Constructive mathematics is an approach to mathematics where proofs are effective, yielding algorithms for constructing witnessing objects. While ordinary category theory is largely constructive, higher category theory as developed using the quasicategory model in simplicial sets is typically not, due to the use of excluded middle to make every simplicial set cofibrant.

The goal of the project is to develop the theory of higher categories (also known as (?, 1)-categories) in a constructive setting, and investigate connections with homotopy type theory. This will use analytic, formal and synthetic approaches.

Main Responsibilities
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct high-quality original research and publish in leading international venues together with senior researchers in the group and other members of the research community. You will work both independently and as part of a team on research related broadly to the goals of the project, and communicate the results verbally and in writing.

Additionally, you will perform teaching activities including supervision of bachelor and master thesis projects for at most 20% of your time, as well as possible co-supervision of PhD students.

Qualifications
To be eligible for appointment as a postdoctoral researcher, you are required to have a doctoral degree in computer science, mathematics or other areas related to the project in this announcement, or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to such a doctoral degree.

You should be familiar with category theory and have an interest in type theory, homotopy theory, or higher categories. Familiarity with any of the following topics is beneficial: constructive mathematics, type theory, abstract homotopy theory, models of higher categories, simplicial sets.

Since teaching is part of the responsibilities, previous teaching experience is meritorious.

The working language at the department is English and the position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English.

Contract terms
The position is a full-time position starting as soon as possible after agreement and until the end of September 2027 at the latest, and located in the beautiful city of Gothenburg on the West coast of Sweden.

Chalmers was founded in 1829 and has the same motto today as it did then: Avancez – forward.

Information about the division and the department
Within bioelectronic engineering, we are developing technology such as microsensors that can link external systems directly to the body's own electrical signals, or wearable patches that interact with the skin. We develop process technology to build these systems, bench test environments to validate that the systems work, and biological tests such as cell cultures where we use the systems to stimulate specific behavior in cells and to monitor their response.

Project description
As a PhD in our group you will take on responsibility towards the application of cellulose-based materials for wound healing applications. You will focus on using new cellulose-based materials as carriers and insulators for skin-electrode interfaces, aiming at developing bioelectronic wound dressings.
You will:
- identify diverse protocols for generating cellulose-based membranes capable of conforming to skin wounds.
- explore various methods to generate functional conducting structures within the cellulose
- fabricate and validate prototypes focusing on the conducting/insulating properties required
- prototype different bioelectronic devices for measurement and stimulation of skin

Our skin has remarkable ability to self-heal, however, old age and certain diseases can drastically reduce this ability. This greatly increases the risk that a normal wound becomes a chronic wound. Lots of research has been invested into wound repair strategies that support or speed up the healing process to reduce the risk that chronic wounds form. One way to enforce faster closure is to use electrical stimulation to manipulate how skin-cells act during skin regeneration. This concept has been developed over a number of years the by the team in bioelectronic microtechnology. At this point we are exploring how this completely new active wound healing concept could be integrated in established wound dressing materials based on cellulose. We are expecting that this next step is what is needed to allow us to translate our research to an active wound dressing to be used in patients. For this project we are currently looking for a PhD, to develop cellulose based materials that can be used as substrate for electrode fabrication through laser-structuring in combination with cellulose based hydrogels/hydrocolloids intended for direct contact with the wounded area. The position is embedded within the Wallenberg Wood Science Centre where you will exchange with other research teams working with cellulose and other wood-based materials.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.

Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here.

Qualifications
We are looking for a candidate with a M.Sc. in Microsystems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or other relevant background. It is meritorious if you have experience with chemical synthesis and characterization, as well as experience working with hydrogels or hydrocolloids. 

Mandatory experiences and skills:
As a PhD you need to be able to work with independence and dedication toward the project goals. You are expected to have experience working in a laboratory following safety guidelines and carefully documenting your work.

Meritorious experiences and skills:
* Experience with Electrochemical Methods
* Experience with Cell Cultures for technology validation
* Experience with Regulations and Certifications of Medical Devices

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Looking for a unique and collaborative endeavor at the cutting edge of photonics and quantum engineering? Read on!

Our goal at Chalmers is to build a useful quantum computer. The complexity of today's quantum processors must be increased to help fields like chemistry and medicine. We are forming a new interdisciplinary team to understand and increase the power of quantum technology.

Information about the project and the environment
The positions are in the brand-new Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL). We are scientists, applied physicists, and engineers. We explore the flow of and interactions between light, sound, and microwaves.

There is no reliable path to a sustainable growth in society's capability to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication. In classical datacenters and computers, this energy loss leads to heating and greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging quantum processors, the energy loss prevents scaling up small quantum devices into more powerful systems. We are developing new hardware to address this. Read more on our webpage and in this popular science article.

This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer. We are members of the Quantum Technology division in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). We work with the experimentalists in the Photonics division and the theorists at the Applied Quantum Physics division. Our department hosts the state-of-the-art MC2 Nanofabrication Laboratory cleanroom, the largest such facility in Northern Europe. We have cutting-edge cryogenic, microwave and optical measurement capabilities.

We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher to help us explore pressure-induced phase transformations in high entropy alloys using in situ synchrotron diffraction and spectroscopy. If you are interested in combining advanced large-scale facility experimentation with in-depth material science and solid state physics knowledge, this is the position for you.

Information about the project
The vast range of chemical compositions offered by high entropy alloys have opened new possibilities for fundamental studies to increase our understanding of phase stability and selection in metallic systems. One intriguing phenomenon is the pressure-induced polymorphism observed in face-centered cubic high entropy alloys. It has been observed in several alloys, but the fundamental mechanisms is still unknown. Your task will be to address this knowledge gap for a specific alloy system - CoCrFeMnNi - through high-pressure synchrotron experiments.

Information about the division and the department
The position is placed in the Division of Microstructure Physics at the Department of Physics. The research in the group is centered around the use of advanced materials characterization techniques, such as electron microscopy, atom probe tomography, and X-ray and neutron scattering, to understand the structure and properties of engineering materials. Our overall goal is to contribute to a sustainable society through development of new or improved structural and functional materials.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility will be to conduct your own research as part of a research group. The position may also include supervision of PhD, MSc and BSc students to a certain extent.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position you must hold a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, or materials science, awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*. Experience of high-pressure diffraction and/or spectroscopy experiments using diamond anvil cells is mandatory. Experience of techniques such as X-ray magnetic circular dichroism or X-ray emission spectroscopy is a merit, as is knowledge of magnetism, magnetic measurements and magnetic properties of materials.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
