Our Division of Scientific Support is currently looking for a Post-doctoral fellow for lipid deuteration and development of contrast methodologies for neutron experiments. This role is part of the LINXS EU COFUND research project AMBER, Advanced Multiscale Biological imaging using European Research infrastructures.

Description of the workplace

You will be based in the Scientific Support Division of the European Spallation Source led by Hanna Wacklin-Knecht and will work within the ESS deuteration laboratories on developing methods for the isolation and characterisation of deuterium labelled lipids from cell cultures, and their application to understanding lipid self-assembly in health and disease. You will also have access to the state-of-the art research facilities at the Division of Physical Chemistry at Lund University for membrane reconstitution and characterization experiments in preparation for the first neutron experiments at ESS. Proposal-based access to European neutron and X-ray beam facilities will also be used in this project.
