Descrição da oferta de emprego

Post-doctoral position in global detection techniques for radicals in air

KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health

Oxygenated organic radicals are key drivers of the chemistry in many systems, such as the metabolism of living organisms, polymerisation, combustion systems, and the natural environment (Earth’s atmosphere). But very few techniques can detect them today, especially in complex systems. We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to develop and apply global detection techniques for oxygenated radicals in ambient air and other complex systems. The work will include both the operation and troubleshooting of existing techniques, such as chemical amplification, and the development and characterization of entirely new techniques, to be used both in laboratory and in ambient air. This position will be in the Nozière group at the Department of Chemistry of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.

Qualifications

Requirements

• A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree in Chemistry, Physics, or appropriate field. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.
• A documented experimental experience on gas flow systems.
• Experience in instrument development or at least troubleshooting.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, as this will be required in day-to-day work.
• Strong problem-solving skills.
• Self-motivated, detail- and goal-oriented.
• Able to work both independently and cooperatively with a team.

Preferred qualifications

• A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline.
• Some knowledge of atmospheric chemistry or gas-phase kinetics is beneficial.
• Awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, with specific focus on gender equality.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.
