hela Sverige Örebro University is currently offering research study opportunities on the doctoral programme in Chemistry with a specialisation in Environmental Science. For the successful candidate, the programme will conclude with the award of the Degree of Licentiate of Philosophy in Chemistry with an specialisation in environmental science. The start date of the programme is in the autumn of 2020.
The Licenciate candidate will participate in a research project funded by the Knowledge Foundation in collaboration with three partners from industry. The focus of the project is identification and measurement of combination effects/mixture effects of indoor airborne organic chemicals and their sources, with a special focus on the car cabin environment. The research will be conducted by using an effect-directed analysis (EDA) approach, combining in vitro bioreporter assays with high-resolution fractionation and chemical characterization for the discovery of harmful organic chemicals in air, their potential biological effects and sources. Specific tasks include i) planning and conducting indoor and outdoor air sampling, ii) conducting emission test chamber experiments of virgin and recycled material; and ii) bioreporter assays and chemical analysis of organic chemicals in air samples. The effect-directed analysis (EDA) work will be in close cooperation with toxicologists and chemists.
The successful candidate should demonstrate knowledge in cell culture testing and have interest in effect-directed analysis. Experience with sample preparation and extractions of organic compounds, fractionation, and organic analytical chemistry as well as working in an interdisciplinary research environment and holding a valid Swedish or EU/EEA driver's license are valuable merits.
