Job abstractJV_description

Position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow available at the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo.

No one can be appointed for more than one Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Oslo. Starting date no later than 01.10.2019.

The appointment is a fulltime position and is made for a period of up to three years (10% of which is devoted to required duties, usually in the form of teaching activities).

More about the position

We are looking for a highly motivated individual who is interested in the   development of online and offline mass spectrometric techniques for the analysis of environmental samples, with a focus on atmospheric trace gases and aerosols. The candidate is expected to further improve the CHARON-PTR-MS technique (doi: 10.1021/acs.analchem.7b02582) and to develop complementary analysis methods based on NanoLC-EI/CI-MS. The work will include method development in the laboratory and participation in field measurement campaigns. The candidate will be associated with two expert groups in analytical mass spectrometry at the Department of Chemistry (Profs. Armin Wisthaler and Elsa Lundanes)

Qualification requirements

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 expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

• Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Experimental Physics or related fields. Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date (7.April 2019). Appointment is dependent on the public defence of the doctoral thesis being approved.
• Applicants must have documented experience in the operation of and data interpretation from high resolution mass spectrometry instruments.
