Doctoral student in Nonlinear Power-Efficient Transmit Array Architecture

At Chalmers, research in the field of nanoscience and light is carried out in a broad range of activities. About us Chalmers' researchers in Nanoscience and Light deal with basic research on the unique chemical and physical phenomena that prevail at very small dimensions, and promote the development of technologies that utilise these phenomena. The announced PhD positions can be placed at any of Chalmers' departments working in the field of Nanoscience and Light. About the research project We are looking for (up to five) highly motivated and skilled graduates interested in a combination of nanoscience, nanotechnology, and light. The selected candidates will be offered a PhD position in one of the laboratories specializing in "Nano + Light" at Chalmers. These positions are special in the sense that this is not an individual PhD call, but rather a broader selection process aiming at attracting students especially interested in the combination of nanotechnology and light. This, among other things, includes research disciplines like nanophotonics, metasurfaces, quantum and nonlinear optics, super-resolution fluorescence imaging, photoswitches, optomechanics, plasmonics, exciton transport, integrated photonics, etc. A PhD exam in Nano+Light is the perfect start for your career, whether you aim at academic research at the highest level, advancing technology and business ideas in major companies, or spinning off your own idea into a start-up company. Who we are looking for The following requirements are mandatory: To qualify as a Doctoral student, you must have a Master's degree (masterexamen) of 120 credits or a Master's degree (magisterexamen) of 60 credits* in natural sciences or engineering. You will need strong written and verbal communication skills in English Personal competences in accordance with the requirements profile, including specification (e.g., social skills, meaning that you enjoy collaborating with others) *For students with an education earned outside of Sweden, a 4-year Bachelor's degree is accepted. The following experience will strengthen your application: Experience in one of the many subfields of Nanoscience and Light will strengthen your application, but it is not mandatory.

Join our research group for an exciting Doctoral student position to create important new insights into High-temperature diagnostics! About us At https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/env/research/energy-technology/, we develop and analyse sustainable energy systems and conversion technologies for industry and society. Through strong national and international collaboration, we unite experimental and systems research to create efficient, low-emission solutions driving the transition towards carbon-neutral energy and industry. About the research project The project that you will work with focuses on the developent of a new thermal imaging system with the aim to improve the efficiency of biomass conversion in power plants. The work combines advanced radiation and CFD modeling and the use of spectrometer and camera-based data. You will be part of the groups teams that works on related topics and together we will develop a new diagnostic set-up and conduct experiments on different scales. The research group that you will be part of has a strong track record in developing experimental and modeling tools to study and advance novel high-temperature processes used for industrial and power generation purposes. We have our own experimental facilitites at Chalmers campus, but we will also conduct experiments on an industrial site. Who we are looking for The following requirements are mandatory: To qualify as a Doctoral student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education (ECTS) credits in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil or Environmental Engineering, Engineering Physics or equivalent. Excellent writing and communication skills in English are required. Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers. What you will do Design, execute and analyze experiments Conduct modeling and develop tools (CFD, Matlab, Python). Part of the work will be based on methods of which there is extensive experience in the research group, but the project will also involve development of new methodologies. Take courses at an advanced level within our Graduate school Teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 percent of working hours Collaborate with industrial partners as well as other researchers. Iit will be part of your responsibilities to keep contact with the project partners. Communicate your results through scientific conferences and journals as well as project meetings and reports. Contract terms The Doctoral student positions are fully funded from start. The position is a fixed-term appointment of four years, with the possibility to teach up to 20%, which extends the position up to five years. A starting salary of 35,725 SEK per month (valid from May 1, 2026). Doctoral studies require physical presence throughout the entire study period. A valid residence permit must be presented by the study start date; otherwise the admission may be withdrawn.
