with recruitment package consisting of 2 postdocs and 2 PhD students Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and groundbreaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefits. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of almost SEK 2.1 billion per year. We are currently 1,900 employees and have 18,700 students. In the coming years, billions of kronor will be invested in Norrbotten and Västerbotten in major projects aimed at a more sustainable society nationally as well as globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these highly topical research projects and the social transformation that follows. We have a wide range of programs to match the skills that are in demand. We hope that you will help us build the sustainable companies and societies of the future. Luleå University of Technology, as part of the WISE program (Wallenberg Initiative Material Science for Sustainability, see also www.wise-materials.org), funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is now recruiting a WISE Fellowship faculty position, as Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Materials Science with a focus on composite materials. The recruited WISE researcher will be part of a national WISE research program with many opportunities for collaboration with other researchers and stakeholders in the field. The starting package for the recruited WISE researcher includes funding for two PhD students and two postdoctoral researchers. As a WISE researcher at LTU, you will lead research in the broad area of advanced materials for energy conversion and chemical storage. LTU conducts pioneering research on the reuse of waste heat and mechanical energy, converting it into useful electricity and chemical energy storage through hydrogen production. A broad set of research activities is ongoing, including the development of next-generation triboelectric nanogenerators and thermoelectric systems, adapted to different temperature environments. In parallel, research is also focusing on the design of earth-rich catalysts to drive the production of green hydrogen - one of the major challenges to reach a low-emission future. A significant part of your role will be to explore the fundamental physics and chemistry of materials in real time, using in situ and operando techniques, including Raman and IR spectroscopy and synchrotron-based methods. You will be part of a well-equipped research environment with access to state-of-the-art synthesis, characterization and testing facilities, working at the absolute cutting edge of materials science and sustainable energy technologies. Subject description The subject covers experimental physics with a focus on materials science in the micro- and nano-area that has close and broad links to applications and applied research. Duties and responsibilities The tasks include supervising PhD students, initiating research projects and independently driving the research area forward. As a Senior Lecturer in Experimental Physics, you are responsible, together with professors and other faculty, for developing the field at undergraduate, advanced and postgraduate levels. A Senior Lecturer is also expected to contribute to the university's development work, ensure that external research funding is attracted to the subject, and be available for management and administrative assignments. Eligibility Qualified to be employed as senior lecturer are those who: - A doctoral degree or equivalent scientific competence or other professional competence relevant to the position - Demonstrated pedagogical competence through reflective experience, teaching skills and teaching development. - Completed higher education pedagogical training equivalent to 7.5 credits or otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge Assessment criteria The following assessment criteria apply to the position: - scientific excellence - pedagogical competence - other assessment criteria Other assessment criteria, weighted equally: - ability to develop and manage activities and staff within the university - ability to interact with the surrounding society - ability to obtain external research and development funding - having worked as an independent researcher Information about the position The position is permanent and located in Luleå.
