Postdoctoral scholarship in comsol modelling of conductive polymer supercapacitors

Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Dept. of Science and Technology, Linköping University (Campus Norrköping)

At the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE), we focus on the study and application of electronically and ionically conducting organic materials in an array of areas spanning energy harvesting and storage, printed electronics, photonics, and bioelectronics.

Recently, the LOE has been developing hybrid conductive polymer-redox polymer supercapacitors for large scale energy storage. This scholarship will focus on the modelling of such systems, providing the postdoctoral scientist the opportunity to learn and develop: – The latest theoretical models for mixed electronic-ionic conductors based on conjugated polymers – Models for conductive polymer-redox polymer composites. – Interact with experimental scientist to gather suitable data for model development. – Guide the optimization of devices from a theoretical standpoint. Studies and research will be conducted in close collaboration with several partners including the research institute RISE Acreo. At Linköping University we embrace innovative thinking. Constantly challenging ourselves has been our strongest motivator ever since we opened our doors in 1975. We are driven by seeking answers beyond the traditional and across subject boundaries. If you are too, we would like to see you at our university. Together we can find solutions to the challenges of the day.

At the Department of Science and Technology, at the university’s Norrköping Campus, we provide education and conduct research in physics and electronics, communications/logistics and media- and information technology. The department is recognised for its work in fields including organic electronics, logistics and visualisation. We combine academic excellence with fruitful collaboration with the Community.

LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY Hereby advertises a scholarship for Postdoctoral researcher in modelling of conductive polymer-redox polymer supercapacitors formally based at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics Duties This scholarship will primarily focus research and personal development within the field of organic electronics.

The postdoc will develop models and perform numerical simulation of conductive polymer-redox polymer supercapacitors. The postdoc will work in close collaboration with experimental scientist to validate the developed models and to guide the experimental work by simulation results.

Qualifications The position requires a doctorate or an equivalent degree from a foreign university. The doctorate shall have been obtained no longer than three years before the expiration date of the application.

A degree in physics, electrochemistry, material science or chemistry will be favored. Experience in modelling, especially in FEM, will also be valued. Research at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics is carried out predominantly in English, so relative fluency is favorable.

Appointment time A Postdoc scholarship is defined as two years. Starting date Winter 2018, or by agreement.

Stipend and benefits This scholarship provides a tax-free stipend of 25 000 SEK/month, plus limited funds for travel to/from Sweden at the beginning/end of the appointment.

Application procedure Apply for the scholarship by sending the following documents electronically to the contact person(s) listed below: – Cover letter (with reference to scholarship 2017-LOE-SC-model) – CV – University diplomas/degree verification and grades – One or more relevant publications, if available – Link or full text of PhD thesis, if available – Two references (letters of recommendation can also be provided)

Applications and documents received after 7 November 2017 will not be considered. Contact person Assistant Professor Klas Tybrandt Project leader and supervisor klas.tybrandt@liu.se
