The department has 270 employees and an annual budget of 330 million kronor. The department's six programs conduct highly successful research of international caliber. We have a large number of externally funded research projects, often with international collaboration, and we see continued strong growth within our field. The department has teaching responsibilities in engineering and civil engineering programs as well as master's programs. More information is available on our website.\nDuties\nThe project's focus is to model various types of high-entropy electrolytes at the molecular level for application in both lithium and sodium batteries. The goal is to understand how different design and material choices correlate with structure, dynamics, and performance.\nA special focus is on solvent-free electrolytes based on molten salts. The methods are primarily molecular dynamics simulations and smaller DFT calculations, but the software COSMO-RS may also be used.\nThe project combines computational chemistry, molecular modeling, and artificial intelligence. A central part of the work is to develop and apply modern AI and machine learning methods to explore, understand, and optimize high-entropy electrolytes.\nThe postdoctoral researcher will be part of Prof. Patrik Johansson's new research group at Uppsala University, part of the research environment \u00c5ngstr\u00f6m Advanced Battery Centre (\u00c5ABC). This fundamental yet application-inspired research project is funded by the Swedish Research Council through a Research Council Professor Grant for \"Next Generation Batteries.\"\nThe main duties for a postdoctoral researcher are to conduct research. These may also include teaching, up to 20% of working time, as well as supervision of and collaboration with doctoral students and thesis workers.\nQualifications\nPhD in chemistry, physics, or materials science, or a foreign degree assessed as equivalent. The degree must be completed by the time of the employment decision.\nNormally the degree should have been completed within the last three years, counted from the final application deadline. However, in special circumstances the degree may have been completed earlier. Special circumstances include leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust within trade union organizations, and similar circumstances.\nApplications will be assessed primarily on the basis of the applicant's ability to conduct independent research and their scientific skill. The quality of each individual scientific work weighs more heavily than the number of publications.\nConsideration is also given to good collaboration skills, drive and independence, as well as how the applicant's experience and competence complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department and how they can contribute to its future development.\nThe applicant must have:\nExcellent abilities in written and oral English\nDocumented experience with molecular-level modeling.\nDocumented experience with artificial intelligence and machine learning for materials science applications.\n\nDesirable\/Meriting Experience\nExperience in research on electrolytes and modern batteries is meriting.\nExperience applying artificial intelligence and machine learning in battery research is highly meriting.\n\nAbout the Position\nThe employment is time-limited for 2 years according to central agreement. Full-time position (100%). Start date by agreement. Location: Uppsala\nInformation about the position is provided by: Torbj\u00f6rn F\u00e4ngstr\u00f6m, +46 18-471 33 65, torbjorn.fangstrom@kemi.uu.se.\nWelcome to submit your application by October 1, 2026, UFV-PA 2026\/2547\nUppsala University is a broad research university with a strong international position.
