Julien Andres joins the group as a post doc. Julien completed his PhD at the EPFL in Switzerland with Prof. Anne-Sophie Chauvin.

Today we welcome Aritz Perez, who is doing a 3-month internship in the group. Aritz is an exchange student from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon.

A two-year post-doc position is available in the group.The project consists of the synthesis and complete characterization of lanthanide-based responsive luminescent probes. Strong synthetic skills are required, additional experience in fluorescence spectroscopy, or lanthanide complex synthesis/characterization, or biological characterization of fluorescent probes is a bonus.

Applications should contain: CV, publication list, a 2-page summary of previous research experience, motivation letter and contact information for three references, and should be sent to eszter.borbas@kemi.uu.se

Application deadline: March 18, 2013 (Monday)

Start date: as soon as possible
