Arbetsbeskrivning
PhD Student in physics, within the discipline of cell-nanoparticle interactions and exposure routes
Job assignments
The PhD student will work on a fundamental science project with the aim to understand how nanowires and living cells interact. Special emphasis will be put on studying the effects of nanowire-based optoelectronic nanodevices such as solar cells and LED on cells. Methods will include traditional cell-exposure systems, deposition on air-liquid interfaces, nanofabrication (including epitaxial grown of nanowires), immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy. The project will be in close collaboration with groups developing nanodevices for energy and with the Nanosafety community within nmC and PhD4Energy.
The PhD studies contain a course part and a scientific project. The PhD student will be expected to carry out several months of internship in a company or major research facility. Active participation in outreach activities and teaching at the undergraduate level might also be a part of the job.
Eligibility/Entry Requirements
A formal requirement for doctoral studies in physics is an advanced university degree within a related field, such as a Master's degree in physics or nanotechnology or equivalent, or substantial advanced course work at the master level or comparable, including an independent research project. Furthermore, the acceptance is based on the estimated ability to accomplish your postgraduate studies. Good knowledge in spoken and written English is a requirement.
In addition, the student must fulfill the following two eligibility criteria:
1. Be, at the time of recruitment, in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in Sweden, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.
2. At the time when employment begins, must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in Sweden for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date. Short stays such as holidays and/or compulsory national service are not taken into account.
