Assistant Professor with research focus on additive manufacturing/structuring

 

The Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE, liu.se/loe) at Linköping University is recruiting an Assistant Professor with research focus on additive manufacturing/structuring with a very generous starting package.

 

LOE is one of the world’s leading groups at the forefront of research in organic/plastic electronics. Research themes span synthesis, materials science, devices, bioelectronics, systems, and applications. LOE is directed by Prof. Magnus Berggren and is composed of over 130 scientists, students, and staff spanning 12 research groups.

 

This faculty 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 seven of Sweden’s foremost universities over the course of 10 years. The vision is a sustainable future through materials science.

 

This Assistant Professorship relates to research in the field of organic electronic and functional materials with a focus on new methods for additive manufacturing and structuring, such as printed electronics. The ultimate aim of this WISE Fellowship is to develop and enable sustainable methods, materials, and technologies with the aid of additive manufacturing.

 

As a part of LOE, the recruited Assistant Professor will have full access to LOE’s open research environment of knowledge and expertise sharing as well as LOE’s fabrication, characterization, chemistry, and cleanroom facilities and equipment, and the Printed Electronics Arena which includes a full suite of printing and additive manufacturing tools and techniques.
