Offer Description

We are looking for a laboratory assistant in chemistry for a fixed-term position at the School of Science and Technology / Unit for Natural Science.

Background

The Man-Technology-Environment (MTM) Research Centre focuses on applied research on the environment, health and sustainable development. The Environmental analysis group is looking for a laboratory assistant in chemistry, that can support the ongoing research from June to August 2023.

Duties and responsibilities

The laboratory assistant will mainly work in a research project on human exposure for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances through fish consumption. The work consists of calculation and documentation of already existing data, and assisting in PFAS analysis using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The work is performed in an international research environment and includes handling and maintaining analytical instruments and supporting other laboratory activities.

Qualifications

We are looking for a candidate with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemistry. Experience from PFAS analysis is a requirement. Experience and knowledge in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry are considered as a merit.

You must have a good ability to express yourself in English, both in speech and writing. The ability to work both independently and in groups, as well as work quality-consciously and be responsible, is a requirement. Great value is on the candidates expressed ambition to learn and take responsibility for the work.

Great importance will be attached to your personal qualities; the ability to work independently and engage with other people in a way that instils confidence; and a good track-record when it comes to cooperation.

We expect you to be flexible and open to change and that you take a quality-driven and responsible approach to your duties.

The employment is limited to 2.5 months at 100%. At Örebro University, salary depends on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience (and where appropriate, positions are subject to a trial period).
