Postdoc in Nanomaterial-based Stretchable Conducting Hydrogels
We are pleased to announce an opening for an employment as a postdoc to work on novel ultra-soft nanomaterial-based stretchable conducting hydrogels towards neural interface applications! The Soft Electronics group is an international team led by Professor Klas Tybrandt and is part of the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE). We develop composite materials, design concepts and devices for soft and deformable electronic systems. Areas of special interest are bioelectronics and neural interfaces, stretchable (semi)conductors, energy harvesting/storage, and actuators. Many of our projects are based on national and international collaborations including a variety of competences. Prof. Tybrandt is the recipient of the ERC CoG 2022 and Wallenberg Academy Fellow 2021.

PhD student in material science - Soft electronic solid-state cooling
Join our exciting project to work on a novel solid state cooling technology based on soft electronic materials! Air conditioning currently accounts for 10 % of global electricity use and is one of the major drivers for global growth in electricity demand and the International Energy Agency (IEA) has therefore identified cooling technology as a key area for reducing emissions and climate change. Vapor compression refrigeration systems are today dominating the market, but they are associated with several issues including cost, efficiency, safety, greenhouse gases, and space. This project aims at developing an alternative cooling technology based on soft electronic solid-state cooling. Read more: PhD student in material science - Soft electronic solid-state cooling. Application deadline: 31st of January 2025.
Postdoctoral Scholarship in “Lignin nanoparticles self-assembly and formation through the lens of molecular dynamics simulation”
Lignin, the most abundant natural source of aromatic molecules, holds the key to a sustainable future. Despite its prevalence, lignin is one of the most underutilized biopolymers on Earth—primarily burned for energy, wasting its vast potential. This project aims to unlock lignin's transformative capabilities, turning it into a cornerstone for eco-friendly innovations.
Through cutting-edge computational modeling, we will uncover the mechanisms of lignin nanoparticle (LNP) formation, paving the way for groundbreaking applications in drug delivery, nanocomposites, and beyond. Be part of a visionary effort to replace crude oil-derived materials with sustainable, biodegradable alternatives that harness lignin's unique properties.
