瑞典查尔姆斯理工大学2018年博士后招聘（电致色变装置研究）

Information about the research/the projectIn our modern world we have become completely dependent on electronic displays for information spread. In many countries, people stare at different kinds of displays for up to 10 h per day or more. However, ordinary emissive displays (LED and LCD) are based on light emission and consume a considerable amount of power. Further, their visibility in bright daylight is poor unless the brightness (and thus power consumption) is increased even further. Many people also experience eye discomfort when reading on emissive displays and their light our sleeping habits.In order to solve these problems, one can use displays that simply reflect the light of the ambient environment, also known as “electronic paper” technologies. The most known is the Kindle electronic reader from Amazon, which is excellent for reading text in black and white. Still, there are no technologies for electronic paper in color available on the market today. Our research aims to achieve this goal by developing new types of ultrathin materials which have intense colors that can be controlled electrically. In brief, we use nanostructures in metals to produce the colors and conductive polymers to regulate the reflected light from the surface. The work involves fabrication of the nanostructures, chemical functionalization of the surface and evaluation of the performance by spectroscopy and electrochemical control.

Major responsibilities

Your duty as a postdoc is to conduct research in your project. The postiion is an excellent step on an academic career track.

Position summary

Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications

The main mandatory qualification is a PhD degree not older than 3 years. Experience that can be considered beneficial for succeeding with the project is additionally positive.

As a candidate you may come from almost any scientific discipline, although we expect mainly students with a background in physics and materials science or electronics. Regardless, you must be open minded to learn new techniques and theories even if it deviates from your background. Further, as a researcher you must be capable of working, thinking and acquiring information in an independent manner. You also need to be a good team player and capable of handling communication with international collaborators. You are expected to provide clear presentations of your results in written form and at conferences worldwide. Thus, excellent English in written and spoken form is mandatory. However, the most important requirement is, by far, a dedicated mind with a true passion for science and technology!
