Applications are ongoing for the 2015 PhD Research Fellowship in Analytical Chemistry at University of Oslo in Norway. Position as PhD Research Fellowships are available at Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo. If the successful candidates have a good knowledge of one Scandinavian language (Norwegian, Swedish, Danish), the fellowship will be for a period of 4 years, with 25 % compulsory work (teaching responsibilities at the Department).
Otherwise, the fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with no compulsory work. Starting date no later than 1 October, 2015. No one can be appointed for more than one fixed-term period at the same institution. Technology/methodology is to be developed for high sensitivity determination of metabolites of potential diagnostic relevance.
Key technologies to be employed/developed are miniaturized liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Emphasis will be put on developing fast and automated platforms (e.g. on-line solid phase extraction). The position is part of the interdisciplinary research collaboration DiaTech, including groups from Medicine, Pharmacy, Chemistry and Physics aiming to develop next generation diagnostic tools in medicine.
Scholarship Value
Position code 1017, Pay grade: 50 – 57 (NOK 429,700 – 482,800 per year). The fellowship will be for a period of 4 years with 25 % compulsory work (teaching responsibilities at the Department). Otherwise, the fellowship will be for a period of 3 years, with no compulsory work.
Selection Criteria: The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and will be expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
Eligibility:
- • Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent in analytical chemistry. The ideal applicant has hands-on experience in LC-MS with miniaturized systems (e.g. nano LC or capillary LC). In addition, experience with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) is also an advantage.
• Candidates without a Master’s degree have until 30 June, 2015 to complete the final exam.
• The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.
• The fellowship requires admission to the PhD programme at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The application to the PhD programme must be submitted to the department no later than two months after taking up the position.
• A good command of English is required of all students attending the University of Oslo.
