About this position

Postdoc opportunity at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in solid-state batteries, with a focus on atomistic modelling and synthesis of ceramic electrolytes.

This 2-year postdoctoral project is part of the Swedish governmental battery initiative COMPEL and is shared between the Department of Material Science & Engineering (ITM, Unit of Properties) and the Department of Chemistry (CBH, Division of Applied Physical Chemistry). The research aims to develop novel ceramic electrolytes for next-generation composite solid-state batteries, with particular interest in halides and sulfides.

The project combines computational modelling and experimental validation. Promising materials will be identified through simulations, synthesized, and characterized experimentally. The work will examine ionic transport properties, interfacial stability, and overall suitability for solid-state battery applications, and will use these results to guide the design of new materials and composite architectures.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a doctoral degree (or equivalent foreign degree) in Physics, Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field, with experience in electrochemistry. Strong written and spoken English, laboratory skills, and computational skills are required. Preferred experience includes solid-state batteries, electrochemical characterization, inorganic synthesis, glovebox/Schlenk line work, and DFT modelling (e.g., VASP, Quantum Espresso).

Application: submit the application through KTH's Varbi portal only. The application should include a CV, degree certificates and transcripts, translations if needed, a brief research motivation statement (max one page), and referee contacts or recommendation letters. Deadline: 15 August 2026.

Institution: KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
