Reference number 2009/59
Application deadline 2009-05-15
The project aims at developing a deeper understanding of the flow behaviour of pulp fibre suspensions at concentrations above 3% by weight. At these concentrations, of outmost importance in pulp processing, the suspension shows a complex rheological behaviour. A better understanding of the system could lead to a better utilization of the turbulent energy with reduced energy costs, and /or equipment dimensions, and less fibre damage. Thus, an understanding of the flow behaviour of fibre suspensions is of great interest for the design, scale-up and operation of pulp processing equipment. In particular flow and dewatering effects in the near wall region will be studied in detail, theoretically using mathematical modelling (CFD) and experimentally using PIV, LDA and UVP.
Job description
The project is a joint venture between Metso Paper in Sundsvall, Södra Cell in Värö and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers and is funded by the Swedish National Energy Administration.
The position is limited to maximum five years and corresponds to full-time research studies during four years. In addition, teaching in the undergraduate or masters curriculi at Chalmers could be included corresponding to one year, teaching work distributed over the whole time of the position.
Qualifications
A suitable background is Master of Science in Chemical engineering, Chemical Engineering with Physics, Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Physics; specifically with interest in applied mathematics and transport phenomena.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
1. An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
2. Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
3. Curriculum Vitae
4. Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2009/59) must be written on the first page of the application.

Scholarships in Chemistry on Metabolomic and Proteomic Studie
Dikutip dari:http://scholarshipo nline.info/ sweden-phd- student-position -in-chemistry- on-metabolomic- and-proteomic- studies-of- brain-malignanci es/
The PhD project is oriented towards the application of mass spectrometry (MS) based metabolomics and proteomics methods in a combination with Chemometric Bioinformatics:
   * to find biomarkers for tumour progression and therapeutic response in order to reveal new therapeutic options for brain malignancies.
   * to find biomarkers assessable in blood for early tumour detection, prognostication and prediction of treatment response for brain malignancies.
At the Department of Chemistry, Computational Life Science Cluster (CLiC), Biological Chemistry in collaboration with Departments of Neurosurgery and Oncology.
The Department of Chemistry at Umeå University today has approximately 200 members and offers a stimulating environment with a commitment to excellence in teaching and research, and provides a valuable service to society.. The department offers degrees at B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels, and our graduate- and postgraduate students are attractive for employment in both academic institutions and industry.
Computational Life Science Cluster (CLiC) at Umeå University is part of an ongoing effort to further stimulate and advance computer based modelling, tools and strategies in experimental sciences.

   * to find biomarkers assessable in blood for early tumour detection, prognostication and prediction of treatment response for brain malignancies.
This study is a part of an interdisciplinary project between Chemistry, Pathology, Neurosurgery, Oncology and UPSC at Umeå University, which focus on the metabolomics and proteomics targeting of three different tumour groups: brain, prostate and ovarial. The research group consists of clinicians and researchers specialized in the mentioned areas of cancer, together with research expertise in metabolomics, proteomics and chemometric bioinformatics.
The recruitment procedure will follow the Higher Education Ordinance (“Högskoleförordningen� Chapters 5 and 7). Prerequisites include either i)240 ECTS credits (swe. Högskolepoäng) of higher education studies of which 60 should be on an advanced level (Master level) with focus on chemistry, or ii) 120 Swedish (old) credits (swe. Poäng; corresponding to 180 ECTS credits) of higher education studies if they were taken before July 1, 2007 or equivalent competence.
Advanced course(s), or other experience in MS based metabolomics/ proteomics, chemometrics and brain malignancies are of advantage, as well as evidence of proficiency in written and oral communication in English.
The application should contain a CV, including academic grades and relevant documentation, and a personal letter of one A4 sheet describing yourself and your reasons for applying to this position.
For more information, contact Ass. Prof. Henrik Antti, phone +46-(0)90-786 53 58, e-mail: henrik.antti@ chem.umu. se

Applications will be discarded or, if the applicant so wishes, returned two years after the position has been filled. Documents sent electronically should be in MS Word or PDF format.
Your complete application, marked with reference number 313-381-09, should be sent to jobb@umu.se or to the Registrar, Umeå University, SE-901 87 Umeå, Sweden to arrive April 30, 2009 at the latest.
We look forward receiving your application!
