PhD student position in chemistry with a focus on NMR Spectroscopy in environmental science
Announced by the Department of Chemistry,  Biological Chemistry, in collaboration with Department of Forest Ecology and Management, Umea University, Sweden

This study is a part of an interdisciplinary project between Chemistry, Medical Biophysics, Ecology and Soil Science with focus on: Molecular understanding of phosphorous dynamics in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The project includes NMR-based analysis of soil samples, characterization and identification of various organic phosphorous species, embedded in an interdisciplinary view on microbial activity and complex processes in the environment. Your task - in close collaboration with ecology and soil scientists - will be to:
• Develop biologically meaningful new methods in organic P specification in agricultural and forest soils as well as fresh water systems based on solid state/solution 31P NMR techniques.
• Sample preparation for solid-state / solution NMR, NMR measurements and data analysis on a range of biological samples.
• Analysis of the speciation of organic P from terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
• Improve the understanding of the coupling between P availability in relation to P fixation, i.e. determine which biophysico-chemical processes govern P availability (adsorption versus release processes).
• Estimate the contribution of different organic P species in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and how these relate to plant and microbial growth.
The application should contain a CV, including academic grades and relevant documentation, and a personal letter of one A4 sheet describing yourself and your reasons for applying to this position.
