04 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Linkoping University, Sweden

Tasks in the EU-RAPHAEL project (INTEGRATING A PALLIATIVE CARE APPROACH FOR PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE):

• Organize and conduct interviews, data collection, analysis with our European consortium partners.
• Organize participation of the patient organization on international level
• Write ethical applications.
• Coordinate a clinical trial in Sweden.
• Develop a training program for international health care staff, organize training.
• Work on implementation toolbox.

As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.

The position involves research and investigations with an advanced electron microscope against structural and chemical characterization of low-dimensional materials during in-situ exposure to gas and vapor. The materials are mainly nanostructured carbides, MXenes, which are found as two-dimensional layers that are arranged in thin films or nanoparticles. Through your studies, you will change surface terminations, and investigate the emerging properties of the materials in their interaction with the applied environment.

In addition, you will develop methods and investigate the conditions for increasing the information content of the measurements. Specifically, the composition, chemistry and structural properties of the materials will be investigated by TEM, HAADF/ABF-STEM, as well as by spectroscopy, EELS.

The studies will be performed in-house at the group’s monochromated and double-corrected Titan3, which will be replaced with a state-of-the-art instrument in 2025. A new FIB for sample preparation will be installed in 2024.

The materials are developed and synthesized in close collaboration with local colleagues who carry out the synthesis work, as well as with other colleagues in Sweden, Europe and the USA. The duties also include disseminating research results through publication in scientific journals and through conference participation

STING aims to design models that capture the richness of human communication by connecting concrete, continuous-valued sensory data, such as images, sound, and motion, with abstract, predominantly discrete semantic representations.

AIR² is a five-year multidisciplinary national project financed by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous systems, and Software (WASP) whereby the postdoc will  have the opportunity of collaboration with top researchers within cybersecurity, networking, AI planning, and cloud computing, within the renowned AI group at our department as well as two other universities in Sweden (KTH and Umeå University). The project will be coordinated by Professor Simin Nadjm-Tehrani at the Real-time systems Laboratory at Linköping University, and aims to understand the cybersecurity challenges in software-intensive and high-performance communication networks with an emphasis on AI-powered methods for:

• prevention of cyberthreats by anticipating and mitigating them,
• accurate detection of ongoing attacks with well-understood AI methods used for system and network monitoring,
• (partially) autonomous and explainable reaction to attacks in presence of resource trade-offs and complex potential changes over time (concept drift).

The project is financed by a second round of NEST grants within WASP.
