Ph.D position in Sustainable Energy Materials

KTH | School of Engineering Sciences

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30 January 2025

Project description

Third-cycle subject: Applied Physics

The Light & Matter Physics Division conducts both fundamental and applied research across multitude scientific fields, with a strong focus on energy-related materials. The Ph.D. candidate will join the Sustainable Materials Research & Technology (SMaRT) group, dedicated to advancing the understanding of intrinsic properties in a range of materials, from alkaline battery components to photovoltaic solar cells. Research involves extensive experimental work performed in state-of-the-art in-house laboratories and at large-scale facilities, supported by a productive collaboration with theoretical researchers. The Ph.D. candidate will also be part of the WISE Graduate School.

Primary Responsibilities: In this role, you will investigate the fundamental properties of tin-based 2D hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite (HOIP) nanomaterials, employing advanced X-ray, neutron, and muon techniques alongside cutting-edge theoretical methods. Key responsibilities include drafting beamtime proposals, traveling to conduct experiments, performing comprehensive data analysis, and communicating findings through presentations at international conferences and publications in scientific journals. You will also develop innovative research ideas and complete required coursework. Active collaboration with MSc students, fellow Ph.D. candidates, and postdoctoral researchers is expected to foster a dynamic research environment.

Supervision:Yasmine Sassa and Martin Månssonis proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission

What we offer

• The possibilityto study in a dynamic and international research environment in collaboration with industries and prominent universities from all over the world.
• A workplacewith many employee benefitsand monthly salary according toKTH’s Doctoral student salary agreement.
• A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.
• Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.
• Help torelocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:

• passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree in Physics, Material Physics, Applied Physics, Solid-State Chemistry) or
• completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
• acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge
• Proven/Documented experience in hands-on laboratory work.

In addition to the above, there is also amandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6.

Selection

In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:

• independently pursue his or her work
• collaborate with others,
• have a professional approach and
• analyse and work with complex issues.
• Problem solving analytical approach,
• Stable/able to withstand stress,
• Experience from in-house materials characterization tools (diffraction, spectroscopy, TEM, magnetic susceptibility/PPMS/MPMS etc.) as well as knowledge about large-scale facilities, are all considered a plus
• Very good knowledge of English, some experience in programming (e.g.Matlab, python)
• Work within an international collaboration, i.e. adaptive communication skills & social dexterity is important

After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.

Target degree:Doctoral degree

Information regarding admission and employment

Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years ' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time.In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.

To apply for the position

Apply for the position and admission through KTH's recruitment system. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the advertisement.

Applications must be received at the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).

Applications must include the following elements:

• CV including your relevant professional experience and knowledge.
• Application letter with a brief description of why you want to pursue research studies, about what your academic interests are and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals. (Maximum 2 pages long)
• Copies of diplomas and grades from previous university studies and certificates of fulfilledlanguage requirements (see above). Translations into English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages.Copies of originals must becertified.
• Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please provide a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.

PhD Position on regulation of cell competition

Utrecht University |Department of Biology

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 January 2025

Join our research efforts to understand competitive interactions in tissues. This process, which is in origin crucial for the development of tissues, can be used by tumours to boost their growth potential. We want to understand how this is regulated in space and time. The PhD position is a part of a research project CELL-FIT: Spatial and temporal regulation of cell competition lead byDr Saskia Suijkerbuijkand funded by the European Research Council.

Your job

Every tissue in our body is a mosaic formed by individual cells that have different levels of cellular fitness. Competitive interactions, where the relative differences in fitness determine cell survival, therefore have a major impact on the physiology of a wide variety of tissues. Yet, due to the heterogeneity of competitive interactions, both in space and time, the dynamics of this process are difficult to unravel. The aim of this project is to combine organoid models, long-term quantitative imaging and single cell technology to mechanistically untangle the role of cell competition in intestinal cancer. Objectives of the project include:

tool development to fluorescently recognise and manipulate interacting and competing cells;

• using long-term quantitative imaging and single cell technology to follow competing cells in space and time;
• understanding how competition affects different types of tumour growth and find shared regulators of this process.

Your qualities

We seek a collaborative and enthusiastic colleague who aligns with several or all of the following criteria:

• an (almost) completed Master's degree in Biology -if you did not complete your MSc yet, please indicate in your application letter when you are likely to graduate;
• a strong background in at least one but preferentially two of the following areas: Cell Biology, Cancer Biology or Developmental Biology;
• a keen interest in microscopy;
• proficiency in academic English;
• prior experience with the use of 3D cell culture models is an asset.

Our offer

We offer:

• a position for four years:
• a gross monthly salary between €2,901and €3,707in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
• 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
• a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
