Project description
For prevention of dental caries, apart from making efforts to change patients’ dietary habits and oral hygiene, improving the properties of dental restorative material is an important strategy. You will be part of a project where we are working on developing new dental filling materials. The goal of our project is to be able to synthesis dental restorative material that is biocompatible, with adequate strength and bioactivity. We have close collaboration with department of physics and chemistry at Umeå University and have access to most of related analysis equipments.
Competence requirements
We are looking for you who have a PhD in solid- state chemistry, material science, chemistry, biomaterial science or equivalent disciplines. Priority should be given to candidates who have completed their doctoral degree no more than three years before the closing date of the application. A candidate who has completed their degree prior to this may be considered if special circumstances exist. Special circumstances include absence due to illness, parental leave or clinical practice, appointments of trust in trade unions or similar circumstances.
Required qualifications are:
Solid skills for example in inorganic/organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, nanoparticles/composites preparation.
Familiar with related techniques, such as structural characterization, optical spectroscopy, and electronic microscopy, are additional advantages.
Good ability to compile data
Demonstrated advanced skills in both written and spoken English。
