We are looking for a doctoral student to a multidisciplinary and collaborative project at the division of Biophysics, Department of Applied Physics, KTH. The goal of the project is to use microscale acoustofluidic technology for the formation, development and analysis of 3D cell cultures on chip. The purpose is to develop in vitro models of solid tumors that can be used to study the tumor microenvironment, and also to investigate whether acoustofluidic methods can be used to alter and characterize the 3D cell cultures including their microenvironment. For evaluation you will use a combination of computational and experimental techniques, including e.g. numerical modelling, electrical impedance spectroscopy, optical microscopy and image analysis.
The candidate will be immersed in the thriving environment at SciLifeLab, Solna, a collaborative hub for experimental and computational biophysics research. The shared resources, including cutting-edge cell biology laboratories, advanced microscopy facilities, and a robust computational infrastructure, form an exceptional ecosystem that not only supports cutting-edge life-science research but also facilitates intellectual exchange driven by national and international collaborations.
Supervision: Martin Viklund and Björn Hammarström are proposed to supervise the doctoral student. The project will be performed in collaboration with Björn Önfelt. Decisions are made on admission
A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.
Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.
A research constellation with engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment.
A research environment with strong base within microsystems, acoustofluidics and microscopy for bioapplications.
A vibrant work-place at the national infrastructure Science for Life Laboratory with unique technology recourses intertwined with cutting-edge research.
Admission requirements
To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:
passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or

In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:
independently pursue his or her work
collaborate with others,
have a professional approach and
analyse and work with complex issues.
display skills and experience from relevant experimental methods, e.g., acoustofluidics, microfluidics, cell culture, microscopy and image analysis
display skills and experience from computational methods, e.g., numerical modelling of acoustofluidic devices.
After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.
Target degree: Doctoral degree
Information regarding admission and employment
Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years ' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time.
