Department of Molecular Sciences
The Department of Molecular Sciences today consists of approximately 90 employees and together with three other departments forms an inspiring research environment at the Biocentrum on the Ultuna Campus, Uppsala. The department houses several collaborative areas such as inorganic, physical and organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular structural biology, biotechnology, natural product chemistry, microbiology and food science. The research revolves around chemical and biological processes. The department also collaborates with industrial partners on the development of innovations of importance for the transition towards a sustainable society. The research area green chemistry is of great strategic importance for SLU.
The department has advanced infrastructure for e.g. structure determination and chemical characterization, including NMR spectroscopy, where the department participates in the national SwedNMR initiative (for more information see the link below).
At the department, teaching is conducted in the subjects of chemistry, food science and microbiology at both basic and advanced level on educational programs that lead to, in particular, agronomy bachelor's and master's degrees.
The environment at the department encourages research collaborations with other departments at SLU, nationally and internationally. The location of the position means access to an attractive research environment with a unique breadth and thereby the opportunity for multi- and interdisciplinary collaborations with research groups in other disciplines such as technology and social sciences.
