Stockholm University, a modern university with a multicultural
environment, is one of the world’s top 100 higher education institutes. Here
more than 60,000 students and 5,000 staff are active within science, the
humanities and the social sciences. Stockholm is a cultural hub and economic
centre, with many green areas and surrounded by water, making it an ideal place
in which to enjoy a relaxed and exciting student life.
MMK is a leading
institution in materials synthesis and structure characterization. We have
recently obtained a large grant for the project “3D Electron Microscopy for
Nanostructure Research (3DEM- NATUR)” from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg
Foundation. The 3DEM-NATUR project aims at developing new transmission electron
microscopy methods to obtain 3D structural information for studying atomic and
mesoscopic arrangements in solids, on surfaces and at interfaces. More
information about the 3DEM-NATUR project can be found at http://www.mmk.su.se/page.php?pid=945.
We are interested in
studying nanoparticles and self-assembled nanoparticle arrays using various
3-dimensional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Techniques
involve the recently developed Rotation Electron Diffraction (RED) method and
other EM techniques such as electron tomography, and STEM‐HAADF,
STEM‐EELS and
electron holography may also be applied.
Assessment
criteria
The candidate must have obtained a PhD degree in chemistry,
physics, materials science or other relevant field no more than three years
prior the application deadline, unless there are special circumstances that
should be taken into account. These might be illness, parental leave, union
duties or similar. The applicant should have excellent English language skills,
both oral and written communication.
Proven
experience in TEM and nanoparticle synthesis is essential. Experience in
nanoparticle assembly and crystallography is desirable.
Terms of
employment
The scholarship is for one year with the possibility of
one-year extension. The preferred starting date is 4th of August 2014.
Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from
discrimination and offers equal opportunities to everyone.
