A position as researcher in Synthesis and analysis of alicyclic carboxylic acids is available in Chemistry BMC
The Department of Chemistry – BMC conducts research and education in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and organic chemistry. More than 100 people, including around 45 PhD students, work at the department. New employees and students are recruited from all over the world and English is the main working language. The department is located at the Biomedical Centre in Uppsala, which facilitates collaborations with research groups in biology, pharmacy, medicine and SciLifeLab and gives access to advanced infrastructure for experimental and theoretical studies. The international environment and good opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations enables PhD students at the department to participate in relevant research projects and prepare for an international research career.
Natural water systems are rich in extremely complex mixtures of organic compounds. Compounds that represent DOM are not available commercially and are challenging to synthesize. Organic chemistry has an important place in natural environment research by helping to fill such gaps in compound availability, allowing natural mixtures to be explored in much better depth using pure standards. The results of ongoing work in the research group will be used to better understand how Earth's ecosystems process carbon compounds and to assess how changing land conditions will affect the export of carbon compounds from land to sea.
DutiesThe researcher will be responsible for synthesizing organic compounds rich in carboxylic acid groups, assessing their purity using NMR, and conducting high resolution LC-MS/MS analysis on them to determine fragmentation patterns for comparison with natural mixtures.
RequirementsIt is a requirement to have experience in standard synthesis, interpreting NMR spectra and LC-MS/MS fragmentation spectra to assess synthesized compound purity and composition, and to have experience with synthesis of carbocycles.
Additional QualificationsIt is advantageous to have experience operating liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry instrumentation and to have worked in a research laboratory for at least one year after completion of the Ph.D.
About The EmploymentThe employment is a temporary position, 12 months. Scope of employment 100 %. Starting date May 1st or as agreed. Placement: Uppsala.
