Linköping University is thrilled to offer the International Postdoctoral Scholarship in Stretchable All-Organic Batteries. International candidates from all around the world (Non-Swedish citizens) who want to pursue their higher education in Sweden are eligible to apply.

The project aims to develop materials, design concepts and applications for stretchable all-organic batteries. Stretchable batteries are attractive for elastic IOT-tags and wearable devices, as they remain compliant and deformable even at significant thicknesses.
