PhD in Applied Physics
Join us in developing next-generation bioelectronic therapies for Parkinson鈥檚 disease and movement disorders using in situ formed electronic materials.
We are seeking two highly motivated and talented PhD candidates to join our team in developing novel organic bioelectronic strategies for interfacing with the nervous system. The positions are based at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics (LOE) at Link枚ping University, Sweden, where we aim to revolutionize neural interfaces by developing in situ polymerized electrodes, overcoming key challenges such as invasiveness, scar tissue formation, and limited spatial precision.
Building on our recent advances in enzyme-triggered electrode fabrication in living systems (Strakosas et al., Science, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adc9998), this research aims to establish new principles for minimally invasive, biologically integrated bioelectronic therapies, with a primary focus on Parkinson鈥檚 disease (PD) and other movement disorders.
This call comprises two PhD positions with complementary research focus, unified by the goal of enabling in situ electronic functionalization of living tissue, where biological structures and signals guide both the delivery and formation of electronic functionality.听Read more: PhD in Applied Physics.

Postdoc scholarship in Organic Bioelectronics
We are seeking a highly motivated and creative postdoctoral scholar to join an exploratory research project aimed at developing next-generation in situ bioelectronic systems, where
electronic functionality is formed, adapted, and operated directly within living tissue. The successful candidate will pursue research in the Organic Bioelectronics group at the Department of Science and Technology, Link枚ping University.
The project centers on new fabrication strategies and physical understanding of in situ formed electronic materials, with a particular emphasis on high-risk, high-reward concepts that challenge conventional boundaries between materials, devices, and biological systems.
The research will explore how electronic structures can be grown, structured, insulated, and functionally integrated within complex biological environments, for example through
combinations of enzymatic, electrochemical, and light-driven polymerization. A central theme is to move beyond static electrodes toward distributed, adaptive, and potentially self-organizing electronic systems in tissue. Read more:听. Application deadline: June 25th, 2026.

Postdoc in Organic Bioelectronics
To advance bioelectronics and biointerfaces, we seek a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the development of next-generation implantable bioelectronic systems for biomedical applications. Our work focuses on in situ formation of organic electronic materials in living environments, enabling new ways to create soft, adaptive, and spatially precise interfaces with biological tissue.
This position addresses the emerging opportunity to bridge conventional implantable devices with bio-integrated, in situ formed electronic functionality, with particular relevance for neuromodulation and neuropharmacology, including applications in Parkinson鈥檚 disease and related movement disorders.
You will join a highly collaborative effort aimed at establishing new principles for electronic functionalization of living systems, where biological structure and signaling guide both the formation and operation of electronic materials.听Read more: Postdoc in Organic Bioelectronics.

Postdoc in biocomposites
We are pleased to announce an opening for an employment as a postdoc in the Nanocellulose, Wood and Biocomposites area, placed at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Department of Science and Technology, Campus Norrk枚ping.
Cellulose nanofibrils, isolated or in the wood cell wall, are unique building blocks for new materials, combining nanoscale dimension with excellent mechanical properties. New functionalities can be provided to such materials, which in combination with mechanical properties contribute strongly to sustainable development. Active research in this cellulose materials program includes materials design of multifunctional biocomposites, new polymers by in-situ polymerization, chemical cellulose surface modification, process-structure-relationships in colloidal systems, new biocomposites by controlled nanostructuring, high resolution structural characterization, structure-property relationships in novel composites as well as organic electronic devices.
The project is on transparent wood or cellulose biocomposites combining mechanical performance, recyclability and optical properties. Prof Lars Berglund is leading the project. Materials are based on nanocellulose, wood fibers and/or wood. A key research question for transparent composites is how precise nano-structural control influences physical properties. Previous research has covered a broad area related to polymer synthesis, nano-structural cellulose control, chemical recycling/sustainability, mechanical and optical properties. Current challenges include the need for improved composites processing, lowering of composites light scattering, new optical and/or mechanical functions and improved polymer matrices. Depending on competence and interest of the strongest candidate, specific objectives will be selected among the mentioned challenges. The work includes planning, execution and analysis of experiments, discussion with collaborators, oral and written reporting. Read more: Postdoc in biocomposites.
Application deadline: July 31th, 2026.
Postdoc in stretchable fluid batteries for sustainable wearable electronics
The candidate will design new concepts, material compositions and fabrication methods for sustainable and stretchable printed fluid batteries. The work involves formulation and characterization of fluid battery electrodes that combine electronic and ionic conductivity with charge storage capacity and fluidity. Once optimized, the postdoc will investigate novel design concepts for fluid batteries and develop tailored fabrications methods based on printing to realize and evaluate the concepts. The developed batteries will be integrated into wearable sensor patches together with collaborators within the EU E-FLOWER consortium.
The work is part of an ongoing effort within the Soft Electronics group on sustainable and stretchable energy devices led by Prof. Klas Tybrandt and Asst. Prof. Aiman Rahmanudin. The project will be highly collaborative within the group, LOE and with RISE. The project is part of the large EU consortium E-FLOWER which develops sustainable wearable electronics and will therefore involve European collaborations as well.
As a postdoc you are expected to assist in the leadership of the scientific work within your area and to guide students. Responsibilities can increase in relation to demonstrated abilities. The host has an excellent track record in acquiring Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships and the hired candidate is encouraged to develop an application supported by the host.
