About NanoLund
The doctoral positions will be hosted by one of the research groups in NanoLund, the Center for Nanoscience at Lund University. Engaging more than 50 research groups in the faculties of engineering, sciences, and medicine at Lund University, and with more than 130 PhD students, we are Sweden’s largest environment in nanoscience. One of our guiding principles is to be a Great Place to do Nanoscience: to be an international, highly visible nanoscience center that offers exceptional scientific opportunities, training, and career development. We do this through a strong culture of openness and by offering access to a wide range of state-of-the-art capabilities within characterization, nanofabrication, and modeling.
What We Offer
- Engagement in frontline research in basic and/or applied sciences
- Training through courses in scientific as well as transferable skills
- A highly collaborative research environment
- An international network of cooperation partners from industry, academia, and public authorities
- Full-time employment for four years
Requirements
- A recent degree in physics, chemistry, biomedicine, biochemistry, or a related field
- Enthusiasm for tackling research problems and ability to work independently
- Interest in interdisciplinary research and teamwork
Initial deadline for applications: May 4, 2020.
