5 PhD studentship and 3 postdoc positions in the field of carbon
nanotube science are immediately available in a consortium of seven
research groups at Universities in Gothenburg and Uppsala in Sweden.
The consortium (CARAMEL), which is funded by the Swedish Foundation for
Strategic Research (SSF), will focus on the experimental and theoretical
investigation of electronic properties of carbon nanotubes with the
ultimate goal of implementation of prototype electronic devices based on
carbon nanotubes. An interdisciplinary approach, provided by the
diversity of the research groups in the consortium and strong
interaction between the groups is intended to facilitate this aim.
The following list characterises the various positions available. For
more information, please contact the group leaders directly.

The positions are open immediately to physicists and chemists with a
strong interest in the science of carbon nanotubes and related
materials. A research background relevant to the position of an
applicant´s interest is advantageous, but only expected for applicants
of the postdoc positions. Applications should be directed directly to
the group leaders given above. Only applications for individual projects
can be accepted.
