Workplace Description

The Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Biosciences encompasses a wide range of industrially relevant research areas, including plant-based meat analogs, carbon dioxide capture, and drug formulation.

The position is in the membrane group at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Biosciences, Lund University. The membrane group in Lund is one of the most established research groups for membrane processes in Sweden and, together with MemLab – Research and Development Center for Industrial Membrane Processes – has an excellent infrastructure for developing and optimizing membrane processes from lab to pilot scale.

The project is part of COMPEL. COMPEL, “COMPetence for the ELectrification of the transport system,” is a strategic initiative from the Swedish government aimed at strengthening research and educational environments in battery technology and electrification. Within COMPEL, the three institutions Chalmers University of Technology, Lund University, and Uppsala University, in consultation with key players in Swedish industry, deepen their collaboration to strengthen Sweden's position in batteries and the electrification of the transport sector and related areas. The initiative aims to enhance research and educational efforts related to the battery field with the goal of ensuring that relevant research in battery technology for the electrification of the transport sector is maintained and further developed in Sweden. Research within COMPEL spans the entire battery value chain: material research, research on new cell concepts and cell manufacturing, battery systems and system integration, recycling, and safety.

At Lund University with Lund University of Technology, COMPEL is a strategic initiative aimed at strengthening research environments in battery technology and electrification in a way that complements relevant research at other institutions and builds on our strengths. COMPEL at Lund University initially includes researchers from ten departments, and three research areas have been identified for strategic development: material research, integration of batteries with power electronics, and safe energy storage. On the educational side, the number of places in several engineering programs is being increased, and the course offerings related to battery technology and electrification are being strengthened.
