Supply Description

The postdoctoral place presents a novel alternative to leverage your experience in protein analysis, directing it in direction of the creation of progressive separation membranes for Li-ion restoration. Your pivotal position will contain establishing a protein manufacturing unit, particularly for synthesizing transmembrane proteins. These proteins will probably be foundational in designing extremely selective separation membranes. You may collaborate inside a specialised crew, every member boasting huge expertise and various backgrounds, and work in shut alliance with the forward-thinking start-up, Retein AB. For those who embody creativity and curiosity, and are captivated with pioneering the subsequent era Li-ion restoration for battery recycling by way of biomimicry, this position awaits you.

Details about the division and the division
On this postdoctoral position, you may be a worthwhile member of the Division of Utilized Chemistry inside the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering . Our division is famend for its sensible method, predominantly centered across the innovation of recent supplies. Your major venture would be the creation of a novel separation membrane tailor-made for Li-ion battery recycling functions. Central to this initiative will probably be establishing the manufacturing of ion channel proteins utilizing strains like Pichia pastoris or E-coli. These proteins will probably be built-in into artificial liposomes, fortified with silica, and subsequently integrated right into a polymeric matrix. Your tasks will embody each the refinement of protein expression and purification strategies, in addition to contributing to the development of the separation membrane.

Main tasks
All through your postdoctoral place, you’ll articulate the findings of your venture by authoring articles in esteemed worldwide scientific journals, and by representing our work at each nationwide and worldwide symposia and conferences. Throughout the every day dynamics of the postdoc position, we attempt to give you a various expertise. You may be participating with a vibrant neighborhood, from fellow postdocs and undergraduate college students to seasoned researchers and esteemed professors.

Your major duties will probably be to spearhead the analysis venture and set up a strong protein manufacturing course of. Whereas the place is deeply rooted in scientific analysis, it unfolds in an entrepreneurial atmosphere that emphasizes sensible functions. We anticipate that you’re going to conceptualize novel scientific concepts and adeptly talk your analysis insights, each verbally and in written English.

{Qualifications}
Primary qualification is your skill to arrange a protein manufacturing unit. You maintain a PhD in fields like chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, biology, or a associated self-discipline. You thrive in hands-on experimental environments and equally worth using theoretical instruments. Prior expertise in protein manufacturing and purification is a prerequisite.

To qualify for the place of postdoc, you should maintain a doctoral diploma awarded not more than three years previous to the applying deadline (based on the present settlement with the Swedish Company for Authorities Employers).
The place requires sound verbal and written communication expertise in English. Swedish will not be a requirement however Chalmers affords Swedish programs.

You’re anticipated to be considerably accustomed to educating, and to exhibit good potential inside analysis and schooling.
