11 Postdoctoral Fellowship at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden

At the Division of Surface and Corrosion Science, Department of Chemistry, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, fundamental research on hydrogen interactions with microstructures of metals and alloys are carried out by utilizing world-class synchrotron and neutron techniques, in collaboration with academic and industrial experts in the techniques and metal corrosion. The postdoc researcher will play a key role in the research projects financed by Swedish Science Council and Swedish Innovation Agency. One particular research project in collaboration with European Spallation Source (ESS) and Lund university is to develop and utilize neutron technique to reveal hydrogen embrittlement in alloys in real time. In addition to advanced microstructure characterization and electrochemical measurements, the postdoc will join and perform beamtime measurements in collaboration with the research team, analyze the data, summarize the results, present the results at international conferences and publish the key findings at peer-reviewed scientific journals. The postdoc researcher will be employed by KTH, with the same social benefits and insurances as all other employees at KTH. During the employment period, the postdoc will also stay at ESS in Lund, Sweden, for 2-3 months/year to carry out the research work.

Professor Tuuli Lappalainen’s research group is looking for a postdoctoral researcher for an ERC-funded research project that links variation in gene dosage to cellular traits using a systems genetics approach. The research group works at the international forefront of human functional genomics, aiming to understand how genomic variation contributes to diversity of human traits and diseases. The project combines experimental work using CRISPR technology and single cell sequencing approaches with computational analysis. The specific project will be tailored according to the interests and expertise of the postdoc, and potential approaches can include angles from human genetics, gene regulation, cell biology and computational systems biology. Additional projects and collaborations can build on other research projects and data genererated in the lab, ongoing collaborative efforts, as well as the postdoc’s own ideas. We use both computational and experimental approaches across the disciplines of human genetics, functional genomics, and molecular biology. In addition to the team at KTH, located at the SciLifeLab campus, Dr. Lappalainen also has an active research lab at the New York Genome Center, with close interactions between the teams.

The postdoc should have competence within Operator Theory, especially multivariate operator theory, connecting with function theory models on polydisks. Interrelations between operator theory and more concrete issues in function theory or number theory are of particular importance. As the position is based on a grant from the Verg Foundation given to Professor Hedenmalm, it is of importance that the candidate is able to collaborate with the group around professor Hedenmalm.

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct experimental (and if suitable and possible numerical) studies of various types of flow instabilities both within boundary layers that develop on rotating cones of various sharpness and within an eccentric Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille (eTCP) flow for studies of flow instabilities and transition to turbulence. Both set-ups are already existent. The former has produced a number of publications (the latest being: Ref1, Ref2, Ref3), while the second is ready for use and has produced preliminary flow visualizations. For the project, measurements will be undertaken with a multi-component LDV system and stereoscopic PIV, hence experience in experimental fluid mechanics is instrumental. Linear stability analysis and numerical simulations are also planned in case of suitable candidates. This project will allow direct comparisons between experiments, simulations and with theory for a better understanding of centrifugally driven instabilities in flows in rotating configurations, particularly in the transitional and turbulent regimes.

You will contribute to the development of methods for protein design through close interaction with leading partners at KTH and Chalmers at the forefront of biocatalysis and synthetic biology. The research will then be presented at international conferences and in international peer-reviewed journals. The postdoctoral duties include:

We seek a driven and knowledgeable postdoctoral researcher to carry out method development in organic electrosynthesis in the research group of Assistant Professor Helena Lundberg at the Department of Chemistry. Specifically, you will be working with catalysis, electrosynthesis and electroanalytical evaluation in research areas of both fundamental and applied character. Administrative tasks and supervision of students are also important aspects of the work. 

A fully funded postdoctoral position is available in a new robotics research group at KTH that explores how to adapt recent advances in AI/ML to improve the capabilities of real (fielded) autonomous robots acting in real-world workplaces and public spaces (mapping, planning, interaction). Join us to research the next generation of AI-enhanced autonomy, enabling robots to act in complex environments.  We have a cutting-edge Boston Dynamics’ Spot with the Spot Arm for real-world experiments. The group is led by Assistant Prof. Olov Andersson at the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning. Previously a senior researcher in the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich, he was part of the winning team in the recent DARPA SubT Challenge on autonomy in unknown environments:

We invite applications for post-doctoral research positions with the Networked Systems Security (NSS) group at EECS/SCS. We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a very strong background and interest in networked systems security and privacy. The successful candidate will contribute to one of our research areas. The work will be supervised by Prof. Panos Papadimitratos. The NSS group designs and builds trustworthy networked systems. Our research agenda covers a gamut of security and privacy problems. We have had numerous projects, including European ones, with a large network of industrial and academic collaborators.  Our activities are summarized here: Networked Systems Security (NSS) Group

Your role as a postdoctor in visual optics will mainly be to work on existing research projects about the effect of optical errors on quality of vision in the central and peripheral visual field. This will include the maintenance and update of an adaptive optics visual simulator, programming and setting up psychophysical routines, recruiting subjects, performing measurements, analyzing the relationship between image quality and vision, as well as documenting and presenting the research results. The work will be collaborative and include supervision of students and co-supervision of PhD-students. There are also possibilities to initiate and lead new research projects within visual optics as well as to gain teaching experience both on undergraduate and graduate level.  The recruited postdoctor will work in the Visual Optics group (www.aphys.kth.se/biox/research/vio) at Biomedical and X-Ray Physics, Department of Applied Physics, School of Engineering Sciences at KTH in Stockholm.
