12 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lund University, Scania, Sweden

A considerable part of the research in the division is in the field of nanobiotechnology where we develop new methods to investigate biological systems, or to exploit biomolecules within nanocomponents. The Division is leading a project to develop nanowire-based platforms for rapid analysis of single molecules based on immunofluorescence. The ultimate goal is to detect markers for e.g. cancer directly in samples derived from clinical work without the need for chemical reprocessing with much higher sensitivity than is possible today. This includes biomarker detection from biological fluids and direct cell interrogation using nanowires and nanotubes. 

The main duties involved in a post-doctoral position is to conduct research. Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours. The position shall include the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning.

This postdoc position will investigate how warming, drought, thawing frost, and extreme weather will impact on soil microbial communities by resolving responses in growth rates and associated microbial biogeochemistry (C, N and P cycling). In it, we will functionally characterise key microbial trait distribution at community levels and link these to taxonomic composition to unearth links between microbial structure and ecosystem function (https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ecy.3594). Uncovered patterns will also be interfaced via conceptual models into ecosystem and global-scale models using e.g. LPJ GUESS / EC-Earth. You will be working closely with several researchers and PhD students to extend the breadth and cover of environmental factors. You work will include field work, the establishment of field experiments, laboratory experiments, and will be laboratory intensive.

The successful applicant will be working in the English unit at the Centre for Languages and Literature, the largest department in the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology.

Here you will be conducting cognitive and experimental linguistic research in the Humanities Lab in close collaboration with, and under the leadership of, professor Panos Athanasopoulos. There are currently around 15 linguistic PhDs and 6 PhD students employed by or associated with the English unit. These linguists represent a number of different research areas, for instance syntax, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, linguistic variation, language history and academic writing. We care about having a nice work environment where everyone is respected and seen.

Fire safety research relates to physical and chemical processes associated with the origin, growth, spread and extinguishing of fires, interactions between fire and buildings/facilities, systems for preventing or detecting fire or limiting its consequences, and evacuation and human behavior in fire. The term fire refers to both fire and explosion and includes fire indoors and outdoors. Research on impact models also considers unwanted emissions of flammable, explosive and/or toxic compounds in industry and transport. Focus for this position is on fire development and material behaviour during fire.
