Overview
Reference no: 640
Closing date for applications: March 10, 2010
Date of appointment: April 1, 2010
Placement: Organic chemistry
Trades unions at Lund university: OFR, SACO and SEKO
Information about the position: Charlotta Turner – 0704-678 124, Charlotta.Turner@organic.lu.se
Work description
The Green Technology Group at the Department of Chemistry, Division of Organic Chemistry, Lund University is conducting research on environmentally sustainable techniques for extraction, enzymatic modification, particle formulation and analysis of ”high-value” compounds in plants and agricultural and forestry byproducts and wastes. Non-conventional solvents are used as extraction, reaction and precipitation media, e.g. supercritical carbon dioxide and sub- or supercritical water, since these are more environmentally benign compared to the more conventional organic solvents.
The postdoc project involves fundamental research on crystallization of waxes from supercritical carbon dioxide to produce superhydrophobic, i.e. strongly water-repellent, surfaces. Research will be conducted within a collaboration project with the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, with the common goal to obtain strong, superhydrophobic surfaces. The project is financed by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF.
Oualifications and experiences
The successful applicant should have strong knowledge in supercritical fluid technology, preferably a PhD involving practical experience in this field, as well as good knowledge in analytical chemistry. It is also a merit with previous experience in scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS).
Good knowledge in English is required.
Personal qualities
Capability to work independently as part of a team is important, as well as the desire to develop and learn new things, to be thorough and willing to help out.
About the employment
Individual salary. A suggestion made in the application is welcome.
Lund University strives for equal opportunity within the organization. We welcome all applicants and we work against discrimination.
Suggested starting date is 2010-04-01.
Application
The application, with attached reference number, and all other documents the applicants would like to include, should be addressed to Lund University:
Registrator, Lunds universitet, Box 117, 221 00 Lund or Registrator@lu.se.
All documents need to be signed by third party.
