1 PhD position available at The Department of Chemistry (Polymer Chemistry), University of Oslo within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network NanoS3: Soft, Small, and Smart: Design, Assembly, and Dynamics of Novel Nanoparticles for Novel Industrial Applications.

The fellowship is for a period of up to 3 years. The starting date of this position is no later than 01.04.2013.

Description

The proposed ITN (NanoS3) has assembled eight academic groups with complementary expertise in polymer synthesis, modeling and characterization. They are joined by two full industrial partners active either in the development of novel luminescent materials (LuminoChem), or in the home and personal care sectors (Procter and Gamble). Two associated partners will contribute to the work of our proposed network: BioTalentum is an SME in the field of stem-cell research and the Institute for Surface Chemistry (YKI) is a world-leading research institute in applied surface chemistry.

The PhD position is available at the University of Oslo. Our work will focus on three priority areas of research: i) Organizing Soft Nanoparticles. ii) Dynamics of Soft Nanoparticles. iii) Soft Nanoparticles at Interfaces. These S&T objectives are combined with the ambitious objectives to train and promote qualified research project managers in the field of soft matter nanoscience, capable to work in research or industry together with experts in different disciplines and in different countries. We will accomplish our goal by training early stage researchers in a wide variety of modern bulk and surface techniques, as well as in modeling and synthetic methods. We will organize a series of tutorial courses on specialized topics, organize network workshops, and implement secondments and visits. To develop the complementary skills needed to start a successful career either in academia or in R&D we will organize trainings in e.g. project management, proposal writing, presentation skills, IP and patent rights and Innovation.
