Postdoctoral Researcher in Transmission Electron Microscopy for Sustainable Metals

University:

KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Country:

Sweden

Deadline:

2025-08-08

Fields:

Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Physics, Metallurgy, Nanotechnology
The School of Industrial Engineering and Management at KTH Royal Institute of Technology invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the field of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for sustainable metallic materials. The successful candidate will join the Hultgren Laboratory at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, contributing to research on microstructural characterization of sustainable metals using advanced TEM techniques and supplementary tools.This position is supported by the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE) and involves working with a newly established state-of-the-art high-throughput scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) equipped with unique in-situ/-operando capabilities, including laser heating and various in-situ holders for high-temperature and thermo-mechanical studies. The system also features Automated Crystallographic Orientation Mapping (ACOM) for high-resolution analysis.The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a team focused on advancing the fundamental understanding of structure-property relationships in metallic materials to support the development of novel, sustainable metals and processes. Research topics include materials for automotive electrification, hydrogen-tolerant metals for fossil-free energy systems, and the design of high-performance recycled metallic materials. The role involves both method development and application-driven research in microstructural and mechanical property analysis.

Requirements

– A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree in materials science, materials physics, materials characterization, or a closely related area, to be completed by the time of employment decision.
– Demonstrated research experience in microstructural characterization of metallic materials, with a focus on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the use of focused ion beam (FIB).– Proven track record of high-impact journal publications and international conference presentations.For further information and to apply, please visit: https://www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/839366?l=en
