PostDoc and/or PhD student positions available in nanofluidics!

Several of the above-mentioned project grants provide funding for postdocs and/or PhD students primarily based in my lab in Gothenburg benefiting from in-house state of the art nanofabrication facilities at MC2.

In addition, benefiting from the world-class semiconductor nanowire activities in Lund we may offer additional PostDoc and PhD student position in nanofluidics in Lund.

For those wishing to apply for an individual postdoc grant, both national and international candidates are welcome at the following funding agencies with yearly deadlines as indicated below. If you are interested, we will help you submit an application.

Swedish Research Council (February and August)

Wenner-Gren Foundations (October)

Carl Trygger Foundation (May)
