About this position
Chalmers University of Technology is offering a project assistant position in the Chemistry and LIFE Science departments, within the research groups of Ann-Sofie Cans and Ines Weber in Gothenburg, Sweden. The interdisciplinary environment combines nanoscience, analytical chemistry and biomedical sensing.
The project focuses on developing multianalyte electrochemical sensors capable of tracking several neurotransmitters simultaneously. Neurotransmitters regulate brain function and are associated with conditions including addiction, depression and neurodegeneration. The research addresses the limitations of conventional sensors, which commonly detect only one neurotransmitter, by combining nanomaterial engineering with biorecognition-based sensing.
The successful researcher will fabricate and optimize nanoscale sensing materials and integrate them with enzyme- and aptamer-based sensing platforms. The work will include neurotransmitter measurements, experimental data interpretation, careful documentation and scientific reporting. The project particularly examines signaling systems dysregulated in addiction.
The assistant will join an active, cross-disciplinary research team and collaborate with researchers through group meetings, scientific discussions, seminars and other scientific events. Chalmers provides access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and an international research environment in Gothenburg.

What's required
A completed master's degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, nanoscience, or a closely related field is required, along with strong analytical thinking, the ability to work independently and systematically, and good written and spoken English communication skills. Meritorious experience includes electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and amperometry; nanomaterial synthesis and characterization techniques including SEM, TEM, XPS and Raman spectroscopy; biosensor design or surface functionalization; and carbon-based nanomaterials or neurotransmitter sensing. Applicants should be engaged, technically curious and collaborative.
