NOBIPOL-CBE: Centre for Biopolymer Engineering at NTNU
In 2002 NOBIPOL was granted status as 'Center for Biopolymer Engineering'
at NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology). This implies
funding for 5 years starting October 2002. The research within NOBIPOL-CBE
will primarily focus on alginates and chitosans, covering all aspects
of biopolymer engineering as described above.
Postdoctoral and
doctoral fellowships.
We hereby
announce 2 postdoctoral and 2 doctoral fellowships, tentatively starting
in July 2003, and one doctoral fellowship starting January 2004. The doctoral
fellowships may be associated with any of the research areas covered by
the Biopolymer Engineering concept (see below). Regarding the postdoctoral
fellowships we are particularly looking for candidates with expertise
within some of the following fields:
Genetics and biosynthesis
of polysaccharides
Studies of enzymes involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis, modification
and degradation
Chemical (structural) properties of polysaccharides, with particular emphasis
on NMR methods
Physical properties of polysaccharides for characterising polysaccharides
both in solution and in the gel state (NMR, calorimetry etc.)
The applicants are
invited to work in a dynamic, enthusiastic, and truly multidisciplinary
environment with focus on challenging scientific problems as well as co-operation
with the industry.
The postdoctoral
fellowships (2-3 years) are open to qualified applicants of any nationality
holding a Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in relevant fields.
The doctoral
fellowships (3-4 years) are open for students who formally qualify for
Ph.D. programmes at NTNU.
Deadline for applications:
- For fellowships starting July 2003: 31 May 2003
- For fellowships starting January 2004: 31 October 2003
