Chalmers is now offering four Excellence PhD positions in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, as well as sixteeen additional PhD positions with specific research topics within the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnologies. The positions with specific research topics are listed further below. You are welcome to apply to all positions that align with your interests. Please apply separately to the excellence positions and to the positions on specific research topics.

Excellence PhD positions in the field of Nanocience and Nanotechnologies

We are looking for four highly motivated and skilled graduates interested in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The selected candidates are awarded with a PhD position, which they can place at any Nano research group at Chalmers and with which they coordinate their specific PhD program. This is the tenth in a yearly recurring call.

These positions are special in the sense that most PhD student positions at Chalmers are announced by a specific research group, funded by a specific research project. However, with an Excellence PhD student position you have your own funding, which of course gives you far more freedom in choosing both research group and research project.

A PhD exam in Nano is the perfect start for your career, whether you aim at academic research at the highest level, advancing technology and business ideas in major companies or spinning off your own idea into a start-up company.

Qualifications

To qualify, you must have a Master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field. The positions require excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

The selection is based on three criteria:

• Your MSc and BSc grades
• A two-page written reflection on your background and your motivation to pursue a PhD. Specifically motivate your interest in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology and in pursueing your PhD at Chalmers. This letter may contain a description of your current MSc project and/or future research interests as well as of your personal qualities.
• Your performance at an interview to which we expect to invite the top 8 candidates. The interview is preliminarily planned to take place on April 29th, 2025.

To be eligible to apply, the final exam of your master studies needs to take place (or needs to have taken place) AFTER 1st of June 2024. If you are already accepted in a PhD school you are not eligible to apply.

If you win, you have to start your PhD position before the end of 2025, at the latest. The position can be placed at any research group connected to the Nano Area of Advance at Chalmers. You find the full list of PIs of these research groups on the Chalmers homepage:
