Umeå University, Faculty of Science and Technology
Umeå University is one of Sweden’s largest higher education institutions with over 37,000 students and about 4,700 employees. The University offers a diversity of high-quality education and world-leading research in several fields. Notably, the groundbreaking discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was made here. At Umeå University, everything is close. Our cohesive campuses make it easy to meet, work together and exchange knowledge, which promotes a dynamic and open culture.
The ongoing societal transformation and large green investments in northern Sweden create enormous opportunities and complex challenges. For Umeå University, conducting research about – and in the middle of – a society in transition is key. We also take pride in delivering education to enable regions to expand quickly and sustainably. In fact, the future is made here.

We have a strong focus on interdisciplinary research and excellent access to modern instrumentation and infrastructure for analysis.
The Department of Physics at Umeå University (www.physics.umu.se) conducts strong research in the fields of organic electronics, condensed matter physics, nanotechnology, photonics and theoretical physics
The research group ”The Organic Photonics and Electronics Group” designs, produces and develops photonic and electronic devices based on organic semiconductors, either synthesized in-house or provided by collaborators. We are now looking for a first research engineer, who shall fabricate, characterize and develop various types of novel and functional light-emitting electrochemical cells.
The position is for 15 months and full time with starting date 2018-09-01 or according to agreement. The last day for application is 2018-07-23.
Work tasks
The primary work tasks will constitute fabrication, characterization and development of novel and functional light-emitting electrochemical cells. The fabrication methods involve spin-coating, thermal vacuum deposition, and spray-coating, and the characterization methods involve optoelectronic, electrochemical and structural measurements of the devices and a related characterization of the constituent materials.
Competence requirements
You have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry or equivalent, and a documented strong knowledge regarding fabrication, characterization and development of light-emitting devices. It is an advantage if you have documented specific knowledge with device fabrication using spin-coating, thermal vacuum deposition, or spray-coating. It is further desirable if you have experience with device characterization using optoelectronic, electrochemical and structural methods.
You must have a good knowledge in both oral and written English.
Application
The application must comprise:
1. A letter that succinctly describes your qualifications, research interests, and motivation for application.
2. A CV.
3. Copies of exam certificates.
4. Contact information for two reference persons.
The application shall be done with the e-recruitment system Varbi and be registered the latest 2018-07-23.
