Project description
Our group works with chemically modified nanostructures for various applications. In this particular project we are interested in developing a new kind of platform for single molecule trapping. This will open up new possibilities for analyzing biomolecular interactions and may ultimately lead to a better understanding of life on the molecular level.
This broad project requires knowledge about advanced nanofabrication techniques, fluorescence and organic chemistry synthesis, among other things. (You are not expected to know everything when you start, but some topic relevance in your background is meriting.) You will work closely together with other PhD students and postdocs in the same research group.
Please check this webpage for further information about the research activities in the group:
http://www.adahlin.comInformation about the division and the department
The large division of Applied Chemistry consists of 14 independent senior researchers leading their own groups, addressing a broad range of topics within the realm of chemistry: Applied Chemistry
This division is part of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
Major responsibilities
Your duty as a PhD student is to conduct research and present your results in written and oral forms. Although you must follow a project plan assigned to you, new ideas and "sidetracks" can potentially also be investigated. Note that teaching duties apply, corresponding to approximately 10% of your working time.
Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field. Good recommendations from your master thesis supervisor are meriting. Similarly, good grades are meriting but not a formal requirement. The most important qualification is a true interest in science and a strong motivation to do research.
Your master degree should ideally be from the fields of physics, chemistry or materials science. However, a degree in other topics such as life science may also be a suitable background.
Note that the starting date is flexible.
Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
