KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH. Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes Architecture, Industrial Management and Urban Planning. There are a total of 12,400 full year students at first and second levels, almost 1,900 active (at least 50 per cent) research students and 5,100 employees.

KTH Engineering Sciences carries out a wide range of research at the international front line, from fundamental disciplines such as physics and mathematics, to engineering mechanics with applications such as aeronautics and vehicle engineering. We also offer University degree programs in Engineering Physics, Vehicle Engineering, and ‘Open Entrance’, as well as a number of International Masters Programmes.

Job description

The position is placed at the Biomedical and X-ray Physics group, Dept. of Applied Physics, which belongs to the world-leading labs in applied x-ray physics. In the present project we combine a unique x-ray source with x-ray optics and functional nanoparticles for advanced high-spatial-resolution x-ray imaging. We seek a researcher to lead the development of nanoparticles relevant for the project.

Qualifications

The candidate must have a PhD degree as well as undergraduate and graduate studies in the cross-disciplinary fields between biology/medicine and chemistry/engineering, often labeled bio-engineering. Experience of fabrication, characterization and biomedical applications of nanoparticles is a requirement and experience of toxicological investigations and work with small research animals is an advantage. Furthermore, experience of methods for improving the biocompatibility of nanoparticles and synthesis of uniform molybdenum nanoparticles is an advantage.
