Job description

Femotosecond Laser 3D Micromachining for Next Generation Micro and Nanosystems
In this project we are developing femtosecond laser micromachining technologies, including femtosecond laser ablation and surface structuring for novel micro- and nanodevices, femtosecond laser-based 3D printing of micro and nanostructures made of different materials such as polymers, glass and hydrogels, and high-speed laser processing using spatial light modulators (SLMs). The project involves both theoretical and experimental tasks. The experimental work will be conducted in the KTH laser lab and the KTH micro and nano fabrication cleanroom in Stockholm (Kista). The project engages several doctoral students at the Department of Micro and Nanosystems and is conducted in close cooperation with high-profile industrial partners and other research groups from inside and outside of KTH.

KTH offers an attractive working environment and generous remuneration in form of scholarship. As a postdoctoral scholar you have many opportunities to participate at conferences, projects and other relevant events which will extend your professional network and benefit your future career.

Qualifications
Applicants must hold or be about to receive a doctoral degree in in engineering physics, electrical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, or a corresponding degree from a major university. The doctoral degree must have been obtained within the last three years from the application deadline (some exceptions for special grounds, for instance sick leave and parental leave). A specialization in micro and nanosystems or in laser-based processing is highly valued. The candidate must have an excellent record of publications with several main author publications.

The successful applicant should have an overall outstanding academic track record, and well developed analytical and problem-solving skills. We are looking for a strongly motivated person, who is able to work independently. Good command of English orally and in writing is required.
