Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och rankas återkommande som ett av världens främsta lärosäten. Här finns omkring 46 000 studenter och 8 500 medarbetare i Lund, Helsingborg och Malmö. Vi förenas i vår strävan att förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor. Dina team Projektet är ett samarbete mellan MAX IV (närmare bestämt strålröret DanMAX), BatMAX-hubben och Chalmers tekniska högskola. Tjänsten är en spännande möjlighet för en kandidat som vill arbeta i en miljö präglad av nära samarbete mellan många tätt sammankopplade team. DanMAX, som ingår i Hard X-ray Group vid MAX IV, är ett strålrör inom materialvetenskap som specialiserar sig på X-ray diffraction och full-field imaging tekniker. Strålröret har bred användargrupp, som spänner från fysik och kemi till medicinsk vetenskap. En betydande del av användarbasen bedriver forskning om batterier och batterimaterial. Denna postdoktortjänst inom röntgendiffraktion och datortomografi (XRD-CT) är knuten till Division of Solid Mechanics vid Lunds universitet. Forskningen inom solid mechanics vid Lunds universitet är särskilt inriktad på teoretiska, numeriska och experimentella aspekter av materialmekanik. Avdelningen bedriver en omfattande verksamhet inom utveckling och tillämpning av X-ray och neutronmetoder för materialforskning samt, bland annat, forskning för att förstå de kopplade elektrokemisk-mekaniska processerna i fastfasbatterier; forskningen är kopplad till det bredare batteriforskningssamhället i Lund. Projektet Projektet kommer att bedrivas inom BatMAX-hubben vid MAX IV, som är ett konsortium bestående av fyra universitet (Chalmers, Lund, Uppsala och Århus), vilka kommer att samarbeta nära för att ta itu med utmaningar kopplade till natriumjonbatterier i fast tillstånd genom sex veckors stråltid per år fördelat på sex olika strålrör. BatMAX-hubben är kopplad till Battery Matrix, en intern grupp vid MAX IV som möjliggör samarbete över hela laboratoriet inom batteriforskning. Denna postdoktorstjänst kommer att spela en aktiv roll i aktiviteter som spänner över flera strålrör, både genom BatMAX-hubben och Battery Matrix. Tjänsten är en av tre postdoktorstjänster knutna till BatMAX-konsortiet, var och en med olika inriktning, som kopplar samman universitetsgrupperna med MAX IV. Tjänsterna finansieras genom det nationella strategiska initiativet COMPEL, som syftar till att stärka batteriforskning och utbildning i Sverige. DanMAX har sedan en tid tillbaka erbjudit XRD-CT-experiment som en del av användarprogrammet, men metodiken har inte optimerats. I detta projekt kommer vi att optimera skanningsmetoden, hårdvaran och analysprogramvaran för att göra denna kraftfulla metod mer tillgänglig och användbar. Nyligen har nya diamant-CRL:er anskaffats till DanMAX, vilket kommer att möjliggöra en fokusering av strålen till cirka 1–2 µm och därmed avsevärt förbättra den möjliga upplösningen. I kombination med våra snabba tomografibord och förbättrad skanningssekvensering kommer betydande förbättringar av den tidsmässiga och rumsliga upplösningen att bli möjliga, vilket kommer att möjliggöra en utvidgning av tillämpningsområdet för denna typ av experiment inom batteriforskning, liksom inom många andra forskningsområden. Projektet kommer även att omfatta utveckling av algoritmer för iterativ rekonstruktion och brusdämpning i syfte att förbättra kvaliteten på de rumsligt upplösta XRD-data. MAX IV och BatMAX-konsortiet söker en postdoktor som ska: Leda utvecklingen av röntgendiffraktion och datortomografi (XRD-CT) vid strålröret DanMAX i nära samarbete med gruppen för solid mechanics vid LU.

Department of Molecular Sciences Third-cycle subject area: Chemistry Description of the doctoral project Do you want to work in a project that aims to replace fossil sources with forest raw materials for the production of biomaterials? Are you interested in immersing yourself in molecular interactions at the atomic level with advanced analytical instruments? Do you want to work with a whole group of researchers who share these interests? If so, this could be a PhD position for you. The overall goal of this PhD project is to enzymatically modify glycans from hemicellulose to produce bio-based crosslinkers for applications in adhesives, hydrogels and other crosslinked materials. However, many materials that we consider bio-based, such as wood fibreboards, hydrogels and stabilizers from non-fossil polymers, still rely on crosslinkers that have fossil origins and are often very harmful chemicals. Fibreboards for furniture, construction and insulation typically contain around 9% glue consisting of urea formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is classified as a known human carcinogen and its emissions from fibreboards are a major concern. Oxidative enzymes will be used on hemicellulose substrates, such as xyloglucan and glucomannan, to obtain aldehyde and ketone functions on the sugar ring in parallel with a partial degradation to oligosaccharides. The expected result is a collection of non-toxic, bio-based crosslinkers that can potentially replace formaldehyde and similar fossil-based crosslinkers. About the position You will be part of a research group conducting research in organic chemistry and biotechnology with a focus on structural analysis of enzymes and carbohydrate substrates using NMR spectroscopy, as well as the development of new methods for studying interactions between proteins and carbohydrates using NMR spectroscopy. The project includes a lot of laboratory work and will be carried out with an advanced level of characterization using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry to be able to draw conclusions about the structural composition of the crosslinkers and the crosslinked materials. To achieve these goals while ensuring a productive and enriching environment, the project includes supervision in organic chemistry, enzymology and wood technology. The position also includes teaching up to 20% of the time. Requirements To meet the general entry requirements you must have: been awarded a second-cycle (Master’s) qualification; satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad (Higher Education Ordinance 1993:100, Chapter 7, Section 39). Specific entry requirements for the third-cycle courses and study programme in chemistry: To meet the specific entry requirements, you must have at least 60 HEC in chemistry-related subjects (general, analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry as well as biochemistry). This must include a degree project and at least 30 HEC must be at second-cycle level. You must also meet the equivalent English language requirements as those necessary for the Swedish upper-secondary qualification Engelska B/6. Your profile We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who has a master's degree in a field relevant to the position, for example in organic chemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology or equivalent. A focus on biochemistry or organic chemistry with experience in laboratory work are valuable merits, as are experience in NMR spectroscopy and/or protein expression and purification. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities such as collaborative skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to work independently. Good knowledge of English (both spoken and written) is required. About us You will be placed in the subject of organic chemistry at the Department of Molecular Sciences, SLU, Uppsala. The department consists of about 100 employees and, together with three other departments, forms an inspiring research environment at the BioCenter on the Ultuna campus in Uppsala. At the BioCenter there is broad expertise in plant biology, plant pathology, plant genetics, mycology, microbiology, food science, chemistry and biotechnology. We have access to advanced infrastructure such as a fermentation lab, advanced microscopy, X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The department conducts research and teaching in chemistry, biotechnology, food science and microbiology. Our research projects include among other things enzymatic degradation of forest raw materials, production of fish feed from yeasts, programmed cell death in plants and biogas production.
