Thinking about a PhD in Sweden? Two external pages written by professors in my department are worth reading before reaching out. The first is Internships and PhD studies in Sweden (by Prof. Torkar), which covers practical information about doing a PhD in Sweden. The second is a handy write-up (by Prof. Tran) outlining what applying/interviewing for a PhD here in Sweden is typically like. While there are slight differences, our application process generally looks similar.

Postdoc positions

We are currently not recruiting at the postdoc level, check back in late 2026/2027 for openings.

PhD positions

We are currently recruiting 2 PhD positions in AI-driven polymer design in our team at Chalmers. Please apply by December 28 for full consideration!

Research assistant positions

We are currently not recruiting any research assistants.

MSc positions

We currently have no open MSc opportunities in the team for Spring 2026. If you are interested in MSc opportunities for Fall 2026, please reach out to Rocío directly for more information.

More general information:

• Interested Chalmers or GU MSc students can contact Rocío about potential master thesis opportunities for the Spring 2026 or Fall 2026 semester(s). There is the potential for both 30 credits or 60 credits MSc thesis projects, and, depending on your MSc program, individual or pair projects.
  • If interested in a 30 credits thesis project, these generally happen in the spring term, so a good time to reach out about opportunities is around September the year before.
  • 60 credits thesis projects typically start in the fall, so a good time to reach out about such opportunities is February (or sooner) of the same year.
• MSc students from universities outside Sweden who are interested in either a short research stint in AIME, or in doing their MSc thesis project with us, are welcome to reach out. Note, however, that the easiest way for you to do a research stay in the group is through the Erasmus program, so please read up on what the guidelines are at your university and keep in mind any relevant deadlines (you typically have to apply many months ahead of when you want to do your research stay).

When contacting Rocío, please email her with a copy of your academic transcript(s), CV(s), and a link to your GitHub profile(s) (if available), along with a short introduction.

Undergraduate positions

Doing research as an undergraduate is not only a fun way to learn about topics which interest you, but can also help you decide if you want to pursue a career in research (e.g., are you considering pursuing a PhD?). Interested Chalmers or GU undergraduates are welcome to reach out to us about potential research opportunities in the group!

Other inquiries

• If you are interested in joining the group but see no available postings, feel free to contact Rocío with a CV as well as a quick introduction to yourself and your research interests. It is possible that we may apply for funding together (see Research Fellowships).
• If you would like to apply to a PhD but do not yet have an MSc degree, please see the the list of masters programs available in our department here.
