About the Job
Uppsala University is a broad research university with a strong international position. The ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a difference in society. Our most important asset is all of our employees and students who, with curiosity and commitment, make Uppsala University one of Sweden's most exciting workplaces.

This PhD position is within the Department of Chemistry – BMC, conducting research and education in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. The department has an international environment and excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations, enabling PhD students to participate in relevant research projects and prepare for an international research career.

The position involves working at the Biomedical Centre in Uppsala, facilitating collaborations with research groups in biology, pharmacy, medicine, and SciLifeLab. You will have access to advanced infrastructure for experimental and theoretical studies.

About the Team
Our research group strives to develop and establish new innovative methods within the research field of analytical chemistry. We focus on mass spectrometry and the development of new techniques for mass spectrometry imaging and single cell mass spectrometry to reveal chemical processes of importance to biological function and dysfunction.

We are a multidisciplinary team with expertise in IT, chemistry, medicine, and biology, working together to advance our understanding of complex biological systems. The research is focused on providing valuable insights into various biological processes and diseases.

The position is part of a prestigious grant that provides resources for high-impact publications and opportunities for growth within the field of analytical chemistry.

Responsibilities and Requirements
The main duties of a PhD student include devoting themselves to their research studies, participating in research projects, and third-cycle courses. Additional tasks may include teaching and other departmental duties (not more than 20% of full time).

As a member of our team, you will be expected to perform independent planning and execution of experimental work, problem-solving, technique development, scientific collaboration, and communication and publication of results.

To be eligible for this position, you must meet the general requirements for doctoral education at Uppsala University, which includes a basic higher education equivalent to at least 240 ECTS credits, including at least 60 ECTS credits at Master's level, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way. Additionally, special eligibility requires passing courses in chemistry or relevant areas of at least 90 credits, or acquiring equivalent knowledge abroad.

Strong emphasis is placed on personal qualities such as good collaborative skills, motivation, independence, and the ability to develop within and acquire the doctoral education. A master's degree in chemistry focused on analytical chemistry is primarily sought after, along with experience in mass spectrometry and analysis of metabolites and lipids.
