About this position
Stockholm University is offering a postdoctoral position in experimental chemical physics within the Department of Physics and the Division of Chemical Physics. The fellow will join Foivos Perakis’s research group and contribute to HYDRA, a project funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
HYDRA investigates how water and protein sequence jointly control the formation and maturation of biomolecular condensates. The research follows these systems from early molecular interactions and liquid droplets through gel and solid states, combining advanced experiments with computer simulations to determine how water structure and dynamics influence condensate behavior.
The postdoctoral researcher will study the structure and dynamics of biomolecular condensates and their surrounding water, with a particular focus on X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS). Activities include planning and conducting experiments, analyzing and interpreting data, and developing measurement and analysis methods. The work may involve X-ray methods at large-scale research facilities, spectroscopy, imaging, X-ray scattering, synchrotron experiments, and free-electron laser facilities.
The fellow will collaborate with experimental and theoretical researchers, present scientific results, and prepare publications. The research takes place in an international physics environment at Stockholm University’s AlbaNova University Center, alongside research communities in physics, astronomy, theoretical physics, and related areas.
Funding details
Full-time postdoctoral employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with possible extension under special circumstances. Salary and other employment conditions are described as favourable, but no specific salary or stipend amount is stated.
What's required
Applicants must hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent relevant degree from another country by the time the employment decision is made. A doctoral degree completed no more than three years before the application deadline is advantageous, subject to recognized special circumstances. Research experience in experimental studies of soft matter, biomolecular systems, or water is valued. Experience with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy is particularly meritorious; experience with X-ray scattering, synchrotron or free-electron laser experiments, quantitative data analysis, and programming is also advantageous. Applicants should be able to conduct independent research, collaborate with experimental and theoretical researchers, and communicate scientific results in English.
