Scholarship Description: A post-doctoral research scientist position is available in the Division of Glycoscience at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. The research will be conducted in the context of NanoCelluComp – The development of very high performance bioderived composite materials of cellulose nanofibres and polysaccharides, a collaborative project funded under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The project will involve the development of polysaccharide derivatives that have the desired functionality to alter the surface properties of cellulose in order to avoid gelling through self-association of the cellulose nanofibrils and facilitate orientation of the liberated nanocellulose fibrils. Polysaccharide bearing moieties, which can enable cross-linking, will also, be investigated. The host laboratory offers state-of-the-art equipment and resources for synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and bionanofiber composites and has an established track record in these areas.

Study Subject: Computer Science
Employer: KTH- Royal Institute of Technology
Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Description:CSC is one of Sweden’s most advanced and successful research and education institutions in Information Technology situated at KTH and Stockholm University. The activities of the school focus on higher education and research within the traditional core areas of numerical analysis and computer science; from theory building and analysis of mathematical models to algorithm construction, implementation and simulation. Other core areas of growing importance are technology and methods for the support of human communication and computer mediated cooperation over distances in time and space. The applied research includes scientific computing, computer science, computer vision, robotics, neuroinformatics and neural networks, human-computer interaction, media technology and graphic arts, and communication through speech, language and music.

The successful candidate will join a team of researchers developing the PDC Parallel Environment, a programming and runtime environment for highly parallel applications that features adaptive runtime scheduling, online performance monitoring, and an expert system to analyze performance data. Within this framework several projects can be defined based on the background and interest of the candidate. Examples include programming models and languages for exascale, compiler extensions, operating systems, expert systems, programming of GPUs etc. The successful candidate is also expected to take leading positions in international projects (e.g. WP leadership in potential EC projects) and actively seek national and international project funding.
