Take your next step to an altogether life-changing career. We are now looking for a Master’s thesis student to join Analytical Technologies R&D in Uppsala. In this Master’s thesis project, you will investigate and evaluate novel approaches for characterization of chromatography resins, with particular focus on NMR-based methodologies. The work will involve experimental studies of agarose-based materials, development and optimization of measurement protocols, analysis of experimental data, and comparison with established characterization techniques. What you’ll do: Investigate and evaluate novel approaches for characterization of chromatography materials. Perform experimental laboratory work using NMR and complementary analytical techniques. Develop and optimize experimental methodologies and measurement protocols. Analyze and interpret experimental data Explore suitable theoretical models Compare new method concepts with existing analytical approaches. Evaluate method performance, robustness, applicability, and suitability for characterization of chromatography resins. Independently plan, execute, and document experiments. Present results in oral presentations and in a written Master’s thesis. Conduct all tasks according to Cytiva policies and guidelines. Who you are: Master’s student in physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, physics, or a related discipline. Interested in physical chemistry, porous materials, and analytical characterization. Curious about experimental method development and data analysis. Experience with NMR, spectroscopic methods, and materials characterization is advantageous. Familiarity with scientific programming, scripting, or automation of data analysis is an additional merit. Structured, driven and comfortable working independently. Good analytical and problem-solving skills. Good communication and reporting skills. Comfortable communicating in English. Swedish is an advantage. What the project offers: This project provides a unique opportunity to work with advanced characterization of materials used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. You will gain hands-on experience in analytical method development, NMR-based characterization techniques, experimental design, and data analysis while working closely with experienced scientists in an industrial R&D environment.
