Sweden – Uppsala University PhD student position in Organic Chemistry/Molecular Electronics
A PhD student position in synthetic organic chemistry directed towards design of novel compounds with potential functions as molecular electronics components is available in the group of Prof. Henrik Ottosson at the Department of Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry. The project will beside synthesis in organosilicon chemistry also include close interaction with computational chemists and physicists as well as experimental groups working with spectroscopy, electron microscopy and electron transport measurements.
The ideal candidate has an MSc degree with solid experience in synthetic organic/organometallic chemistry, but also an outspoken interest in physical/theoretical chemistry as well as physics. The project is interdisciplinary and an ability of the PhD student to go outside the traditional disciplines is appreciated.
The PhD position is for 4.5 years including 10% department duties such as assisting in courses at the undergraduate level. The start date is early 2007.

It should contain a CV, copies of relevant grades, contact information of minimum two reference persons that are not related to each others, copies of the applicant`s Master thesis or an outline thereof, and possibly previous research publications.
