Description of the workplace
The researcher will be positioned at the division for Nanobiotechnology where the key activities are directed towards microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies. The division holds a frontier position in acoustofluidics research with focus on both fundamental fluid physics in acoustic fields and life science applications of acoustofluidics:
Biomedical engineering - Nanobiotechnology
The research is closely linked to the medical faculty within both preclinical and clinical queries, with a goal to develop new technology for sorting, manipulation and analysis of cells and other biological particles. The research is performed in laboratories both at LTH and at the Biomedical Center at Lund University. The department also hosts an infrastructure resource to support the development of microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems for research groups at Lund University. Within the research group, we work closely together, we are generous with ideas and share our knowledge.
We offer
Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme.

Work duties
The tasks as a researcher mainly include conducting research. Teaching may be included in the tasks, however, at a maximum of 10% of the working hours. Within the framework of the employment, opportunities are provided for higher education pedagogical education.
The research work will primarily consist of experimental studies of basic physical phenomena related to standing ultrasonic waves in microfluidic systems. In the project, we will, among other things, develop new types of acoustic resonators to handle cells in microfluidic systems with the goal of distinguishing, imaging and collecting subgroups of blood cells and biological nanoparticles from blood samples using ultrasound.
The tasks include (ex.):
· Work with experimental physics in collaboration with theorists
· Responsible for lab and technical equipment
· Build microfluidic systems with pumps, valves, control electronics and software
· Microscopy and image analysis
· Handling of blood samples and cultured cells
· Write academic publications and illustrations
· Present research results at scientific conferences
· Assist in supervising degree workers and doctoral students
· Work on applying for external research funding
· Administration linked to the above tasks
Qualifications
Required qualifications for the position are:
· Completed a doctoral degree in a relevant subject, e.g. acoustofluidics or microfluidics
· Very good knowledge of English in speech and writing
· Extensive experience of working with experimental acoustofluidics
· Documented knowledge and skills in LabView
· Ability to work independently and to have a good ability to work together
Additional qualifications for the position are:
· Performed a postdoc within acoustofluidics
· The researcher must be able to run his or her research project independently, and have the capacity to write scientific publications.
· The researcher should have experience from multidisciplinary projects.
· The researcher should have experience from international networks.
· The researcher should have experience of working in industry.
· The researcher should have experience of technology or product development.
· The researcher should have experience of working with measurement technology.
· The researcher should have experience of working with biological material.
Consideration will also be given to how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.
Further information
The position is a fixed term position for approximately two years at 100 per cent of full time starting as soon as possible, but no later than September 2022.
How to apply
Applications are to be submitted via the University’s recruitment system. The application should be written in English and include a CV and a personal letter justifying your interest in the position and how it matches your qualifications. The application should also include a degree certificate or equivalent and any other document to which you would like to draw attention (copies of grade transcripts, details of referees, letters of recommendation, etc.)”
