The Department of Chemistry - Ångström conducts research and education in the chemistry field.
The department has more than 270 employees and has a turnover of 290 million SEK.
At the department's six programs, we conduct very successful research of a high international standard.
We have a large number of externally funded research projects, often with international cooperation and we see continued good growth in our subject area.
The department has education assignments in engineering programs and master's programs.

The research project focuses on the development of metal hydrides as materials for hydrogen storage.
This will form part of a collaborative project aimed at developing instrumentation for in situ neutron diffraction and imaging during hydrogen absorption/desorption at the European Spallation Source (ESS).
The project will involve the synthesis and structural characterisation of metal hydrides primarily using diffraction methods and investigation of their hydrogen storage properties.
The materials will be investigated using the new state of the art instrument developed as part of the project, offering unique capabilities for in situ studies of hydrogen storage materials.
Work duties The main duties involved in a post-doctoral position is to conduct research.
Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours.
The project will be carried out under the supervision of Dr Rebecca Clulow within the program of inorganic chemistry at the department of chemistry- Ångström.
The research will involve synthesis, structural characterisation and property measurements of metal hydrides.
The synthesis will include high temperature methods whilst diffraction methods such as X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction and in-situ measurements will be used for structural characterisation.
The project will also require a range of other structural characterisation techniques and hydrogen absorption experiments.
The duties include for example: • Research within the subject area • Teaching at advanced and postgraduate level • Applying for beamtimes and relevant funding opportunities • Supervision of degree projects • Administration linked to the tasks above
