Project description
SwedNESS: The project is a part of SwedNESS, a national graduate school for Neutron research in Sweden. Please see link for more information http://swedness.se/
The objectives of the doctoral project are to determine the structure and structural changes underlying protein aggregation and fibrillation using an in situ combinations of neutron scattering and optical spectroscopy. The application of the method has a broader impact on our general understanding of biological processes happening at multiple time and length scales as well as involving different reactive species.
Work duties
The work will be carried out in close collaboration with partners at Malmö University and the European Spallation Source (ESS, Lund), combining competences on experimental aspects and data modelling, and offer broad learning opportunities in a growing field of biomolecular science.
You are expected to be involved in all steps of the project, i.e. to prepare and to perform experiments on instruments both in the laboratory and at large-scale facilities, as well as to analyse and to publish the data.
In return, you will be given ample creative space to develop the project, significant resources to produce cutting edge results, and you will profit from being part of our highly collaborative team with complementary competencies.
Working duties may specifically include:

Assessment criteria
Selection for third-cycle studies is based on the student’s potential to profit from such studies. The assessment of potential is made primarily based on academic results from the first and second cycle. Special attention is paid to the following:
Other assessment criteria
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant, through his or her experience and skills, is deemed to have the abilities necessary for completing the third cycle programme.
Terms of employment
Only those admitted to third-cycle studies may be appointed to a doctoral studentship. Third cycle studies at LTH consist of full-time studies for 4 years. A doctoral studentship is a fixed-term employment of a maximum of 5 years (including 20% departmental duties). Doctoral studentships are regulated in the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100), chapter 5, 1-7 §§.
