Postdoctoral Researcher in Organic Synthesis of Battery Electrolyte Solvents
Uppsala, Sweden
Apply by · 18 days left
About
Develop bio-based organic solvents from renewable carbon for lithium- and sodium-ion battery electrolytes. Combine organic synthesis with NMR, FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy, GC-MS and physical-property measurements, working with battery-performance researchers and industrial collaborators. The full-time appointment lasts two years with a possible one-year extension; start is 26 October 2026 or by agreement. Teaching may occupy up to 20% of working time. Apply by 16 October 2026.
Requirements
PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering or a related field by the employment decision. Recruitment primarily targets doctorates awarded within three years, with permitted extensions for specified circumstances. Experience synthesizing and characterizing organic solvents relevant to battery electrolytes is essential, alongside NMR/GC-MS analysis, scientific communication and English. Apply through the university-linked Varbi vacancy.
