SuMo Biomaterials performs research with the aim to develop smart functionalities, with emphasis of flow in materials with starting point from the needs of our member companies. Our approach is highly interdisciplinary with scientists from chemistry, physics and mathematics. Scientist from companies, university and institute work together in a research environment founded on mutual respect between fundamental and applied science as well as business demands.
SuMo Biomaterials is funded by VINNOVA and our member companies and hosted by Chalmers University of Technology and is integrated into Chalmers' strategy for sustainable development. SuMo Biomaterials is one of the excellence centers within Chalmers' Area of Advance - Materials Science. SuMo Biomaterials has the vision to satisfy industrial needs through excellence in science.
SuMo Biomaterials aim to achieve predictability with respect to designing materials with specific flow profiles. We are organized in four research modules that interact in a unique way. The Diffusion & flow module focuses on experimental characterization of flow on various length and time-scales. The Material structure module focuses on static and dynamic microstructure characterization at several scales. The focus in the Mathematical & computer modelling module is to model both microstructures and flow. In the Material design module we construct materials with structures varying from nano to micrometers with the goal to achieve synergies in flow properties.
Together the four modules aim towards an innovative way of working that will result in both scientific excellence and innovations.
As a SuMo collaborator you should have an interest in interdisciplinary ways of working. In practice this means that experimentalists and theoreticians work closely together towards our goals. We are currently seeking post-docs and PhD students in several projects and spread among the four modules in the program.

The employment is 4 years and 3 months, whereof about 5% is devoted to teaching or other duties at the Division. The remaining time is for research activities within the PhD project as well as for graduate courses.
We welcome applicants with an interest in interdisciplinary ways of working in the four modules mentioned above. You have a degree in chemistry, physics, materials science or other relevant areas. The knowledge of the Swedish language is desirable but not a must, whereas a good level of spoken and written English is required.
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
- An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
- Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2010/281) must be written on the first page of the application.
