We are looking for a PhD student in Applied Physics within SOFTWEAR Doctoral Network. (PhD student 2 – Additive Manufacturing of soft textile actuators)

Your work assignments
The PhD student will progress additive manufacturing (incl. 3D-printing) of soft actuators for wearables by developing new additive manufacturing methods and materials that will enable deposition and patterning of multiple materials (passive and active) monolithically integrated in/on textiles. The PhD student will start by learning to fabricate soft actuators based on ionic Electro-Active Polymers using traditional methods such as spin-coating and electrosynthesis and thereafter convert these methods to 3D printing. The PhD student will also develop/adapt ionogels so that they can be 3D printed. Employing the developed 3D printing methods and new ionogels, the PhD student will fabricate complex multilayer devices comprising ionic Electro-Active Polymer actuators fully integrated in/on textiles for wearables. 

As a doctoral student, you devote most of your time to doctoral studies and the research projects of which you are part. Your work may also include teaching or other departmental duties, up to a maximum of 20% of full-time.

Your workplace
The work will be carried out at Division of Sensor and Actuator Systems (https://liu.se/en/research/sensor-and-actuator-systems ) under the scientific guidance of Assoc Prof Edwin Jager. The Division of Sensor and Actuator Systems carries out research, undergraduate and postgraduate education within Applied Physics, in areas such as soft actuators, soft robotics, bioelectronics, biosensors, and gas and environmental sensing.

The PhD student will become a member of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network SOFTWEAR (www.softwear-dn.eu). The network will comprise 12 PhD students from 10 European Universities. SOFTWEAR is a highly interdisciplinary Doctoral Network in the emerging and rapidly growing field of wearables, with a unique focus on soft actuators for wearables and exoskeletons. The primary objective of SOFTWEAR is to train young researchers in the multidisciplinary science of soft actuators for integration in wearables and augmenting textiles. This will be achieved by merging chemistry, physics, mechanics, electronics, textile technology, design, human-technology interaction and ethics in a truly interdisciplinary manner, while teaching essential skills in ethics, product development, IPR and industrial realisation, thus providing a unique added value to the careers of the Researchers. This will be accomplished by on-the-job training on innovative research projects developing beyond-the-state-of-the-art soft actuator technology and integrating this into active garments and soft exoskeletons. The research will be carried out at leading academic groups and by immersion in applied projects at the industrial partners. The position will require traveling to participate in Training Schools and secondments of several months to academic and industrial associated partners.

Your qualifications
You have graduated at Master’s level in material science, mechanical engineering, (applied) physics, engineering biology, biophysics, (organic) chemistry, or related fields. with a minimum of 240 credits, at least 60 of which must be in advanced courses. Alternatively, you have gained essentially corresponding knowledge in another way.

Experience in additive manufacturing (3D-printing), smart textiles, wearables, soft actuators, electroactive polymers, linear actuators, or electrochemistry is meritorious.
