Overview
PhD student in Environmental Molecular Science to a collaborative project between the group for Environmental Molecular Science within the Division for Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, and the group for Inorganic and Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU, to start as agreed.
You will participate in our joint research on the physics and chemistry of aqueous surfaces at the microscopic level. This for example includes how the concentration of solvated ions and molecules differ between the bulk water and the outermost molecular layers. Such surface phenomena are of great importance for the interaction of water and other liquids, gases and solids as well as radiation. These phenomena become especially important for small systems with high surface/volume ratio, such as atmospheric aerosol droplets.
We are now starting a joint research project aiming to study fundamental surface phenomena of ionic and molecular aqueous solutions as function of parameters such as concentration, pH, temperature and their structures in solution. We carry out our experimental research both in our home laboratories and at synchrotron radiation facilities, where we use advanced x-ray-based methods for element specific microscopic studies. Via national and international collaborations with researchers in areas as fundamental molecular physics, theoretical modeling as well as more applied ones atmospheric, soil and water science we have excellent conditions for fruitful, relevant and high-qualitative cross-disciplinary research. For more information, see www.physics.uu.se/molcond and www.kemi.slu.se
We are looking for you who are qualified and motivated and have a great interest for the area between physics and chemistry, and to explore natural phenomena on a microscopic scale.
You are welcome with your application containing a letter describing yourself, your qualifications and research interests, as well as CV, copies of academic degree certificates, final or preliminary degree project reports and other relevant documentation. We welcome information on reference persons and/or letters of recommendation. A completed exam is not required for application, but must be obtained before admission. Good undergraduate degrees, skill in speaking and writing English, as well aptitude to work both independently and in a team are important qualifications.
You will primarily work on your own post-graduate studies. Additional educational or administrative work at the departments may be included (up to maximum 20%). More information can be found at http://www.fysast.uu.se. Local guidelines for salary placement exist.
Information about the position is given by Olle Björneholm, tel. +46-18-471 3618 (olle.bjorneholm@fysik.uu.se) or Ingmar Persson (Ingmar.Persson@kemi.slu.se), tel. +46-18-671547. Union representatives at Uppsala University are Anders Grundström, Saco-rådet, tel. +46-18-471 5380, Carin Söderhäll, TCO/ST, tel. +46-18-471 1996, and Stefan Djurström, Seko, tel. +46-18-471 3315, and at SLU Gunnar Almkvist, Saco-rådet, tel. +46-18-671541 and Rolf Andersson, ST, tel. +46-18-671576. Both UU and SLU are equal opportunity employers, and we welcome applications from applicants of any background!
Welcome with your application including appendices no later than 10/12 2010, preferably by electronic mail to registrator@uu.se, or by fax to +46-18-471 2000, or by mail to Registrator, Box 256, S-751 05 Uppsala. The reference UFV-PA 2010/2389 must in all cases be indicated.
