Your application

We are looking forward to your application! Applications should at least contain your Curriculum Vitae, a cover letter, your academic transcripts, if available a list of publications (please mark / explain your three top contributions), and the contact details of two references.

The application deadline is the 12.11.2023 . Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position at Chalmers University of Technology in the evolving field of cellular nanomotion research. The position emphasizes hands-on experience with advanced optical manipulation techniques and offers a genuine opportunity to influence the direction of ongoing research. By joining our team, you'll contribute to a deeper understanding of cellular dynamics, which holds potential for practical applications in medicine and drug development.

Information about the department and division At the Department of Physics, within the Division of Nano and Biophysics, our primary mission is to deeply explore the physics that governs nanoscopic and biomolecular structures. We aim to understand their interactions with various external stimuli, including electrons, neutrons, and photons. With its interdisciplinary approach, our research frequently intersects with practical applications, particularly in drug development and medicine.

Information about the research Cellular nanomotions refer to the nanoscale vibrations generated by single cells because of their internal processes, including metabolic activity, cytoskeletal rearrangements, and interactions with other cells or the substrate. These nanomotions have demonstrated a strong correlation with cell viability and overall cellular health. As a result, they hold significant potential for the development of novel diagnostic tools, personalized treatments, and therapies targeting cellular process abnormalities.

However, progress in the field of cellular nanomotion research is impeded by the absence of detection techniques that offer sufficient resolution, sensitivity, and speed. This limitation has created a knowledge gap regarding the underlying mechanisms and origins of cellular nanomotion and their relationship with specific pathologies. To advance our understanding in this area, it is crucial to develop detection methods that can accurately capture and analyze the nanomotions with high precision, sensitivity, and temporal resolution.

The objective of this project is to improve our capacity to detect cellular nanomotions by utilizing optically driven nanomotors as nanosensors. Through the detection and analysis of nanoscale movements within cells, we aim to obtain valuable insights into fundamental cellular processes, including cell metabolism and division, enhance our understanding of cellular dynamics, mechanical properties of cellular membranes and contribute to advancements in the field of biophysical research.

Major responsibilities In this role, you will play a pivotal role in advancing experimental research in single-cell biophysics and nanomechanics. In addition to conducting hands-on research, you may also have the opportunity to mentor and supervise master's and/or PhD students, fostering their academic and research growth.

Key parts of the work will be - Enhance the current optical trapping setup to enable simultaneous trapping and interrogation of multiple nanoprobes. - Engage in cutting-edge experimental research focusing on the nanomechanics of single human cells and bacteria. - Utilize the optical tweezers setup to delve deep into the nanomotion patterns of single human cells and bacteria, providing insights into their biophysical behaviors.

Job description The PhD student will work with current and relevant challenges for society linked to the digitalisation of forestry within the forestry value chain. The PhD student project will contribute to developing new and improved estimates of forest variables (state and changes) as well as to mapping and forecasting forest damage for next-generation digital and dynamic forest maps and forest management plans using remote sensing data in combination with field data. The project will include the analysis of remote sensing data collected from instruments mounted on towers, drones, aircrafts, and satellites for the possibility of up-scaling to cover larger geographical areas. Field data will be collected to be used as reference data and include traditional forest measurements as well as tree physiology measurements, and data from harvesters. Mainly radar data will be used, but data from laser and optical instruments will also be included as important data sources depending on the research application. An important part is to investigate how radar data can be used to measure forest water dynamics, which can be used to improve the estimation of forest variables and early detection of forest damage. The doctoral student is expected to be responsible for the practical fieldwork. Central parts of the work are writing and publishing both scientific articles and popular science articles as well as disseminating the research results.

Furthermore, the PhD student will participate in both national and international projects and meetings. The PhD student will also collaborate with national and foreign experts in remote sensing.

Project description The rapid technological development in electric motor design means that the insulation is exposed to greater stress through higher voltage levels, new fast-switching power electronics as well as new cooling methods. The goal of this PhD project is to develop a method to estimate the lifetime of the insulation in electric motors for applications in electromobility. The aim is to avoid over-dimensioning the insulation and at the same time minimize the risk of failure. The project will consist of analytical calculations, FEM simulations and design and analysis of experiments. The project will be multidisciplinary as consideration needs to be given to many different aspects such as electrical, mechanical and thermal.

The research group at Uppsala University has extensive experience in research on various types of electrical machines as well as a large laboratory. We offer varied and exciting work that is designed by the PhD student and the research group together. The PhD student will be supervised by at least two supervisors and the research group consists of several seniors and PhD students working with electrical machines and modelling. Apart from the industrial cooperation there are good possibilities to collaborate with other PhD students in the research group. The Department of Electrical Engineering also gives a salary supplement to the doctoral students at the department.

The project is run in close collaboration with three major players in electromobility: Polestar Performance AB, Volvo AB GTT and Scania CV AB. The PhD student will participate in experiments conducted at the industries for the project. This project will be conducted within the Swedish Electromobility Centre, a national center for electromobility with partners from Swedish Universities and Swedish industry. This means, among other things, that the PhD student, together with several other PhD students at the division, will be part of a PhD student network that holds regular seminars, summer schools, social activities etc.

Duties The PhD student will perform research about insulation in electric motors. The duties will include analytical calculations, simulations with FEM and experiments. Another part of the work as a PhD student is to write research papers and to orally present the research results in different forums such as project group meetings as well as international research conferences. The main duties for PhD students are to devote themselves to their research studies which include participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The courses should comprise 60 credits and the majority of the courses are optional and can be spread out throughout the doctoral period. The work duties also include educational tasks, for example giving tutorials or supervising labs / project work. Teaching and other department duties can take up a maximum of 20% of the working time.

Requirements

• A master degree or equivalent in electrical engineering, engineering physics, material science and engineering, energy systems or similar.
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• We value your personal qualities such as strong motivation, good cooperation and communication skills. You must be goal oriented, structured and able to work effectively both individually and in a group.

Additional qualifications Experience in electrical machines and experimental work are considered as merits. Experience from working in industry is also advantageous. Good knowledge of spoken and written Swedish is considered a merit.
