Supervision: Ilaria Testa is proposed to supervise the doctoral student, with co-supervisor Francesca Pennacchietti.

**What We Offer**

* The possibility to study in a dynamic and international research environment in collaboration with industries and prominent universities from all over the world.
* A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality, and diversity.
* Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.

**Admission Requirements**

To be admitted to postgraduate education, the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:

* Passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
* Completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
* Acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge.

In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6.

* Independently pursue their work.
* Collaborate with others.
* Have a professional approach.
* Analyze and work with complex issues.
* Have previous experience with imaging and/or spectroscopic techniques within biophysical studies.

**Information Regarding Admission and Employment**

Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g., training and administration.

A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time.

* Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please provide a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.

**Other Information**

Striving towards gender equality, diversity, and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a given part of our values. The position may include security-sensitive activities. To become authorized, you therefore need to pass a possible security check.
