hela Sverige Örebro University is currently offering research study opportunities on the doctoral programme in chemistry. For the successful candidate, the programme will conclude with the award of the Degree of Licentiate of Philosophy in Chemistry. The start date of the programme is in the autumn of 2020.
The Licenciate candidate will participate in a project funded by Formas with a focus on identification and combination effects/mixture effects of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in contaminated sites. The research will be conducted by using high-resolution effect-directed analysis (EDA) in combination with in vitro bioreporter assays and chemical analysis for the identification of harmful PACs in contaminated soils before and after remedial actions. Specific tasks include i) developing and refining analytical methods to measure novel and previously overlooked PACs in contaminated soil; ii) conducting lab-scale experiments and field studies to study the composition, toxicity and availability of PACs throughout remedial actions; and iii) evaluation of PACs that should be included in risk assessment of PAC-contaminated soils. The effect-directed analysis (EDA) work will be in close cooperation with toxicologists.
The successful candidate should demonstrate knowledge in organic analytical chemistry and have interest in mass spectrometric analysis and effect-directed analysis. Experience with soil and water sample preparation and extractions, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS, and cell culture testing, as well as working in an interdisciplinary research environment and holding a valid Swedish or EU/EEA driving license are valuable merits. Knowledge of programming languages such as R or Python for data processing and analysis is also a merit.

Information on programme content and organisation can be found in the general syllabus for the subject.
Doctoral studentships
The position is offered as a full-time doctoral studentship for the duration of the study programme. Duties such as teaching, administration and research other than the student's own thesis project may be included, however with no more than 20 per cent of a full-time post. To compensate for time spent on such duties, extensions to the programme length and funding period will be granted. More information on doctoral studentships, part-time studies and part-time doctoral studentships can be found in the Regulations Handbook. The initial salary for a doctoral studentship is 27 500 SEK per month.
