Postdoc in Resilient and Equitable Mobility Systems

Interested in urban mobility and working in an interdisciplinary team with close connection with stakeholders? We are looking for a postdoc to join our team at the Division of Physical Resuorce Theory, Department of Environmental and Energy Sciences. Become a part of the team and contributing to research on current and future mobility service usage and attitudes among car and non-car owners. About us At https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/env/ andhttps://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/env/research/frt/ we identify, analyse and describe the major sustainability challenges of our time, with the aim of developing models, tools and competitive technological solutions to support the transition in sectors such as energy, transport and heavy industry. Within a scientifically excellent environment, we develop new technologies, build knowledge and educate the engineers of the future who can contribute to a sustainable society in the long term. A significant part of our research also takes a systems perspective, focusing on the interaction between technology, society and the environment in order to develop resilient solutions for the future. About the research project Despite increasing research on car-free households, there is still a lack of understanding of how car owners and non-car owners differ in their mobility patterns, satisfaction, and use of mobility services such as car-sharing, cargo-bikes, and attitudes toward emerging technologies such as shared autonomous vehicles. This project addresses that gap through a mixed-method study combining survey data with in-depth interviews. An interdisciplinary approach, integrating systems and policy perspectives with behavioral psychology, will deepen the analysis. Who we are looking for The following requirements are mandatory: A doctoral degree in transportation, urban planning, psychology or other relevant fields. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made Strong written and verbal communication skills in English Experience in mixed-method analysis, ie. both qualitative and quantitative analysis Ability to work both independently and in interdisciplinary research teams You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education. The following experience will strengthen your application: It is highly meritorious if the doctoral degree has been obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline Experience in survey analysis, interviews and stakeholder engagement Experience working across disciplines or with stakeholders in transport, urban planning, public policy What you will do Develop conceptual frameworks for mobility service usage Statistical analysis of surveys Qualitative interviews with residents in Gothenburg Supervise master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent Possibility to engage in teaching at undergraduate/master's level The position is meritorious for future roles in academia, industry, or the public sector. Contract terms The position is a temporary full-time employment for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension. The position requires physical presence throughout the entire employment. A valid residence permit must be presented by the start date, otherwise the offer may be withdrawn. What we offer As a postdoc at Chalmers, you are an employee and enjoy all employee benefits.

Are you excited about pioneering experimental quantum computing? Do you want to be part of a world-class research environment developing the next generation of superconducting quantum processors? We are seeking a Postdoctoral researcher to join our ambitious team at the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), based at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). About us  The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/ (MC2) advances the frontiers in quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics, and future electronic systems. Our cross-disciplinary approach drives innovations through collaborations across academia, industry, and society. We offer a vibrant, international environment with direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities. At the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/quantum-technology/ (QTL), we explore how quantum physics can unlock radically new ways of processing information. Our research spans quantum computing, sensing, transduction, and thermodynamics, aimed at harnessing the behavior of light and matter at the quantum level. About the research project   This project is a proof-of-concept effort aimed at demonstrating a reliable post-fabrication trimming process for Josephson junctions in superconducting qubits. Unlike open-ended exploratory research, this project is goal-oriented and experimentally driven. It requires both careful physical interpretation and structured technical validation. You will take primary responsibility for planning and executing the experimental program in collaboration with senior researchers. While the role does not include formal personnel management, scientific initiative and independence are highly expected. Key responsibilities include: Designing and executing cryogenic experiments. Characterizing Josephson junctions and superconducting circuits. Analyzing device behavior and degradation mechanisms. Correlating electrical performance with material properties (aging, interfaces, coherence). Contributing to reproducible superconducting qubit fabrication workflows within WACQT. The project is closely connected to ongoing superconducting quantum processor development efforts within WACQT. Who we are looking for  The following requirements are mandatory:  A PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. Strong experimental research experience in superconducting devices, quantum devices, low-temperature physics, nanoscience, or related areas. Experience with at least one of the following:programming experience in Python MATLAB or similar tools for data analysis and experiment automation. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.  The following experiences are considered beneficial, but are not required: Dilution refrigerator operation. Transmon qubit measurements. Microwave control and readout. Quantum coherence measurements. Thin-film characterization. Tunnel junction fabrication. Cleanroom micro/nanofabrication. Device simulation or modeling. We recognize that strong candidates may not match every listed qualification. If your experience aligns with part of the profile and you are interested in the project, we encourage you to apply. What you will do Experimental research Design and execute experiments on superconducting quantum devices. Develop and validate electrical trimming methods for Josephson junctions. Perform low-temperature measurements using dilution refrigerators. Device characterization and analysis Characterize superconducting circuits using DC, AC, and RF measurement techniques. Analyze complex experimental datasets and develop physical interpretations of device behavior. Investigate relationships between fabrication processes, material properties, and device performance. Collaboration and scientific communication Work closely with researchers in superconducting qubit development, nanofabrication, and materials characterization. Present results internally and externally through publications, reports, and conference presentations.
