Chemical engineering with specialization in electrochemical systems.
The subject rests on a chemical engineering basis and includes studies of electrochemical systems at component, cell and system level. The subject includes modelling of charge transfer and mass transport, the use of balance equations for charge, mass and energy to describe electrochemical processes on surfaces, in porous electrodes and whole cells, as well as electrochemical measurement methodologies to study these reactions and systems. Sustainable electrochemical systems play a key role in electrifying the transport sector, storing renewable electricity in the energy system and decarbonising the industry, and relevant applications include electrochemical systems for energy storage in batteries, electricity generation with fuel cells and hydrogen production by electrolysis. Electrochemical systems for the production of chemical products and metals, treatment of waste streams and for the production of fuels from renewable sources are other relevant applications.
The employment includes research, supervision of doctoral students and teaching in the subject area. The assistant professor is expected to be able to participate in the various chemical engineering courses given by the School of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health. Teaching at the bachelor's level takes place in Swedish, while higher courses are given in English. The assistant professor is expected to be able to teach in both English and Swedish when promoted to associate professor. The assistant professor is expected to contribute to KTHs activities within sustainable development.
The assistant professor will be given opportunity to develop their independence as researcher and gain accreditation that may allow them to take other teaching positions with higher eligibility requirements (see Chapter 4, Section 12 a of the Higher Education Ordinance). Following application, the assistant professor can apply for promotion to associate professor in accordance with Chapter 4, Section 12 c of the Higher Education Ordinance.
An individual who has obtained a PhD or equivalent research expertise is qualified for appointment as an assistant professor. Candidates who met those qualifications within five years prior to expiration of the application period should be prioritized. Other candidates may also be considered if there are extraordinary grounds for doing so. Extraordinary grounds refer to illness, parental leave or similar circumstances.
The assessment criteria for appointment as an assistant professor at KTH are stated in KTH's appointments procedure section 1.3, and apply in relation to the employment profile laid down.
When assessing applications for promotion to associate professor, the applicant's ability to independently initiate and carry out research of high academic quality, published in international publications, and the applicant's ability to obtain financing for research operations will be assessed. Of highest importance is the applicant's ability to independently establish new collaborations and research specializations. It is also of highest importance that the applicant has displayed teaching and supervising expertise. Ability to teach in Swedish is a merit that is given great importance in the application for promotion.
Contact information to trade union representatives can be found at KTH's web page.
Your application should follow KTH's CV template for employment of teachers. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the application is complete according to the requirements in the ad and CV template.
Your complete application must be received at KTH no later than the last day of application, midnight CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).
