The Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm is a world-leading research environment in energy history. We're now looking for a post-doctoral researcher in this field. The post-doc will do research about the history of energy supply. Within this broad frame, the post-doc will have considerable flexibility in defining his or her own research focus.

The post-doc will be part of a dynamic research environment with a long track record in energy studies and in which historical studies are seamlessly integrated with studies with a more present-day focus.

Funded by the StandUp energy-strategic research programme (https://www.standupforenergy.se), the post-doc will play an important part in strengthening the historical and societal dimension of KTH’s energy-oriented research.

Required qualifications:

1. A doctoral degree (or an equivalent foreign degree) in history, history of technology, environmental history, STS, or a related field. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.
2. Research expertise
3. Collaborative abilities
4. Independence
5. Very good English skills are a must, since the post-doc will be working in a multi-cultural research environment and be expected to publish in English language.

Preferred qualifications:

1. A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline
2. Earlier experience of energy-historical research is a plus.
3. Awareness of questions of diversity and equality with a special focus on gender equality and equal opportunities.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal competency.
