The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
The Division of Solid State Physics has about 20 faculty members and in total 100 employees with research focus on the material science, physics and applications of semiconductor nanostructures in electronics, photonics and biology/medicine. The division is at the heart of NanoLund, the Center for Nanoscience at Lund University, which is world-leading in the materials science and applications of nanostructured semiconductors. Established in 1988, NanoLund engages over 270 scientists from the faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine.
Lund is also the site of two key research facilities for materials science: MAX IV, the world’s brightest synchrotron light source and the European Spallation Source (ESS), the world’s most powerful neutron source. Lund University, MAX IV, ESS and the surrounding ecosystem provides an internationally unique environment for the science, technology and commercialization of nanomaterials.
The Division of Solid State Physics runs NanoLund’s core, the world-class semiconductor nanofabrication facility, that is part of Myfab – the national infrastructure for micro and nano fabrication. The facilty turns over approx. 30 MSEK annually, consists of circa 600 sq. m of clean room with over 80 installed tools, including epitaxy systems, patterning and processing equipment and characterization instruments, and has over 150 users from academia and industry. NanoLund is currently planning on building a new cleanroom at Science Village Scandinavia to double its capacity. The team includes 13 highly qualified scientists, engineers and technicians. For more information: www.ftf.lth.se, www.nano.lu.se, myfab.se.
Task and responsibilities The Division of Solid State Physics is now seeking a qualified Chemist or Chemical Engineer who will be responsible for all chemicals in the facility as well as be key in expanding the current policies on chemical handling, safety procedures in the cleanroom areas, risk assessments, user training and safety protocols. Another key part of the job will be the overall safety and storage of specific semiconductor gases and precursors. You will interface with students, scientists and engineers to provide knowledge on chemicals and wet chemical processes as well as safety matters throughout the laboratory, reporting to the Director of the laboratory. It is also planned that you will be the main contact person for all matters dealing with chemicals for the Division.
The responsibilities of the position are summarized as follows:
Requirements and basis of assessment The following documented experiences and qualifications are required:
We will place great emphasis on flexibility and adaptability. We expect you to be self-motivated and service-minded and have an ability to prioritize and handle multiple demands.
