Postdoctoral Fellowship (18) at Lund University, Scania, Sweden

The project involves mathematical modelling of complex fluid dynamics, in particular viscoelastic flows in nano-structures. The work involves mathematical modelling and machine learning both using simulated and real data.

This project aims to investigate certain hyperbolic dynamical systems called Smale spaces from the perspective of noncommutative geometry. The goal is to explore the interplay between noncommutative geometry and Ruelle’s thermodynamic description of Smale spaces using tools from harmonic analysis, and to promote breakthroughs that may have far-reaching consequences in various scientific disciplines.

The position is funded by a Wallenberg Proof of Concept Grant within the WACQT area. The project is development of a novel potentially quantum-limited microwave amplifier based on hybrid semiconductor-semiconductor structures. 

The HIPPIE beamline, located at the 3 GeV ring, together with SPECIES beamline on the 1.5 GeV ring form the AP-XPS group which is responsible for the development of the Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Program at MAX IV. The beamlines provide a wide range of sample environments for in situ and operando XPS and XAS across four instruments and numerous sample environments. The group consists of approximately 10 members including scientists, engineers and postdocs who are actively driving multiple research and projects, among which are time-resolved photoemission, electrochemistry, corrosion, catalysis and thin-film deposition.

The position encompasses research and development within the field of biomedical engineering with an emphasis on acoustofluidic cell sorting and proteomics. This project focuses on cell separation and isolation followed by investigation of proteomic alterations in isolated circulating tumour cells (CTCs) from cancer patients with a metastatic disease, at a single cell level.

The purpose of the overarching research project is to investigate how struggles over gender and sexuality shape contemporary political and social landscapes in Europe. The project examines both feminist and LGBTQI+ movements advocating for expanded rights, as well as hybrid alliances between anti-gender networks, religious fundamentalists, conservatives, and far-right movements opposing these advancements. The research project aims to contribute new knowledge about the emerging normative foundations of society in the wake of today’s divergent mobilizations. The project is led by Professor Mia Liinason.

We are now looking for a postdoctoral researcher to conduct research focusing on the emergence of anti-gender ideology within transnational diaspora communities and far-right movements among transnational migrant groups and diaspora communities within and outside Europe. The research will also examine the interactions of feminist and LGBTQI+ movements with these groups. The position requires that you are motivated to conduct high-quality research and that you have previous knowledge of ethnographic fieldwork, including digital ethnography, as well as advanced knowledge of diaspora communities in the region(s) where the project will be carried out.

Physical Chemistry involves research relating to molecular issues. The experimental and theoretical methods used often originate from physics. The emphasis in Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry is on research, both experimental and theoretical, within surface and colloidal chemistry and with a special focus on self-aggregating systems. The systems studied include surfactants, polymers and biomolecules.

The current project focusses on Soft Matter, in particular on the study of the flow properties of compressible colloids, microgels, combining scattering techniques with rheology.

The Department of Building and Environmental Technology has a stimulating and international environment consisting of doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows and teachers from many parts of the world. Here, research and teaching take place in an open and progressive climate with challenges and collaborations both within academia and with industrial partners, both nationally and internationally. The work environment is characterized by commitment, collaboration, creativity and personal responsibility.

The workplace will be the Department of Technical Water Resources Science at the Department of Building and Environmental Technology at LTH. Research and teaching are conducted here on how water resides and is transported in nature and in the built environment. This includes studies on rain and stormwater, how water reach watercourses, floods and methods to eliminate or limit the negative impact of floods on the environment, the flow of water in land and watercourses, factors that affect water use, water quality, coastal hydraulics and erosion processes. The department has approximately 30 employees and approximately 20 doctoral students. The advertised position will be placed in the hydraulics and hydrology group, which studies precipitation, runoff and flow in watercourses.

The project focuses on novel roles of complement proteins, such as C3, in metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes, as well as the development and dysregulation of the immune response.

Protein-rich biocondensates of intrinsically disordered proteins have in the last decade excited a very active research field, due to many potential connections of physicochemical phase behavior to biological function in the intracellular medium. While experimental, simulational and bioinformatical accounts are very widespread and getting increasingly established, a more fundamental understanding in terms of soft matter and complex liquid concepts is still largely missing. Importantly, the related liquid-liquid phase separation has a long history in globular protein solutions, e.g. in the eye-lens fluid and antibody solutions, which resulted in a number of fundamental and general results not yet available for intrinsically disordered proteins.

Within this postdoctoral project, we aim for a comprehensive conceptual understanding of liquid-liquid phase separation in protein solutions, and related phenomena such as equilibrium cluster / micellar phases and arrested phase separation. We plan for theory-oriented work, combining analytical modeling based on liquid theory and coarse-grained simulations to explain experimental phenomenology. Connection to experimental work is explicitly encouraged, and active involvement in experiments can also be included into the project, if desired.

The project will be conducted at Lund University, Chemistry Department (KILU) and within the COMMONS Center of Excellence (www.physchem.lu.se/commons/), which includes researchers at Universities in Lund, Copenhagen and Gothenburg. The overarching aim of COMMONS is to provide a multifaceted scientific environment focusing on unifying physicochemical processes of key importance for the function of biomolecular assemblies. The scientists within COMMONS conduct experimental and theoretical research on soft and biological matter. Significant work is devoted to protein self-assembly and co-assembly as well as interactions with other biomolecules. In addition, the project will be connected to the new theme SMILE (Soft Matter in Life) at the advanced institute for neutron and X-ray science LINXS (wwx.linxs.se), providing opportunities to reach out to the national and international soft matter community for collaborations and networking.

The project will be run in collaboration of different groups, including in particular Assoc. Prof. Felix Roosen-Runge and Prof. Anna Stradner (both Division of Physical Chemistry, Lund University) as contact persons. Connections to other experimental and theoretical groups within the COMMONS Center of Excellence for biomolecular assembly are possible and encouraged. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information and discussion on potential project ideas related to the research plan required for the application.
