Material/Chemistry: Advanced Thermal Interface Material

We seek a researcher to join the SRC MPE and Module Engineering Lab, which is part of Huawei’s Research Center in Stockholm. It’s a creative, international team that works across different fields to explore new technologies and turn them into real solutions. **You will be responsible for:** - Driving research (simulation, prototyping, and verification) within microscale heat transfer physics and chemistry for TIM. - Providing technical and theoretical guidance for research on new TIM materials and their processes based on product demands and industry trends. This aims to achieve technical breakthroughs, especially in the areas of overall conductivity, reliability, and cost. - Supporting the verification and test data analysis of key materials & processes, including internal prototypes and samples or those obtained from cooperation with external partners. - Assisting in the development of an academic and industrial ecosystem/network, and providing scientific support and advice for upcoming cooperation projects in this network, including national, EU frameworks, and other project calls. - Contributing to the establishment of the TIM-testing laboratory in Huawei’s Stockholm office. **Requirements:** - PhD in the area of advanced materials, nanomaterials, or materials physics and/or chemistry, with a focus on changing/improving the basic functionality of the materials and/or their surfaces. - One to two years of post-doctoral experience in research and development within the area, preferably from the industry. - Excellent understanding of TIM; its R&D, its manufacturing process, its function, including the interaction with surrounding units/surfaces, and the reliability of the total solutions. - Experience with molecular simulation tools and methods, and in micro-scale heat transfer. - Strong understanding of advanced material resources and trends in the material research industry, especially new innovative surface treatments and other ways to change/improve the basic functionality of materials and/or their surfaces. - Excellent knowledge of general advanced materials & processing. - Solid knowledge of European universities or technology research organizations. This is a full-time consultant position. Please get in touch with Karin Persson if you have any questions.
