Chalmers University
Gothenburg, Sweden
Description
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering promotes research and education for sustainable development, for improved health and quality of life. Form your niche and advance the research fields of Tissue Engineering/Neurodegenerative diseases by introducing novel microscopy techniques, developed by physicists and chemists in the Group of Molecular Microscopy:
1. Emerging microscopy techniques based on multi-photon excitation schemes for label-free three dimensional imaging of macromolecules.
2. Non-linear near-field microscopy for imaging at nanometer-scale
3. Microspectroscopy: Raman, CARS and Tip-Enhanced Raman Scattering Microscopy
4. Biological studies using non-linear microscopy (CARS, SHG, THG...).
5. Fundamental investigations and applications of multi-photon excited plasmons in metallic nano-structures.
Your responsibilities will be merit yourself as Program Manager, corresponding to a 30% position during four years, of a EU FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network, FINON - Female Investigators in Nonlinear Optical Nanoscopy, consisting of 6 PIs from Chalmers University of Technology (coordinator), AstraZeneca, Cardiff University, Institut Fresnel, Max Planck Institute Mainz, and EPFL, 8 associated partners from the academia (bio/material sciences) and industry (photonics, microscopy), and 12 PhD students. Your tasks will be to take the responsibility for the reporting to EU, the communication between PIs, Associated Partners and PhD students, outreach activities, make sure that the outlined program is followed, that training and scientific milestones and deliverables are fulfilled, act as internal and external contact person, and manage the content on the FINON web site etc.
Requirements
MSc in Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biomaterial sciences, Cell/Molecular biology and/or Biophysics.
PhD in tissue engineering/regenerative medicine/3D growth of cells in tissue-mimicking environments/stem cell biology or in the mechanisms behind neurodegenerative diseases/protein misfolding/neurosciences; the degree should generally not be older than three years. You are expected to demonstrate good potential within research by for instance a strong publication list, have international experience, and/or attracting research grants. Previous research at post-doc level in an international reserach group is meriting. Fluent/excellent ability in written and spoken English is a strict requirement. Important qualities of the candidate are enthusiasm, a positive attitude in general, be able to drive and conclude projects. The candidate should contribute to the friendly and open environment in the group and the FINON Network, were we offer mutual help and support without any prestige.
More information and applications
- CV, include complete list of publications.
- Two references that we can contact.
