Erik Björn’s group is announcing a 2 years postdoctoral scholarship within a project focused on nanoparticulate structures of trace metals. The project concerns both method developments to characterize trace metal nanoparticles using single-particle ICP-MS (sp ICP-MS) and size-exclusion chromatography ICP-MS (SEC ICP-MS), and biogeochemical studies of naturally formed nanoparticles in pore waters from sediments and soils.

Welcome with your application by 12th of July 2026, which you submit via this link!

Tao Luo just joined our group as a postdoctoral researcher! We thank the Carl-Tryggers foundation for support.

A new postdoc will also join the Boily group in 2024 to contribute to our growing research activities on ice research. We thank a recent November 2023 grant by the Kempe Foundation for support.

Sébastien Le Crom (Kempe Postdoc in Boily group) is beginning a “Maître de Conférence” position at Institut Mines-Télécom Nantes (France) in September 2023. 

Sébastien also gave the following talk (link here) entitled “” at the 2023 Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in Lyon:

Last week Michael Holmboe presented his work on MD simulations of hydrated clays for the nuclear waste community working with natural and engineered clay barriers, at the first day plenary session of the Clay conference in Davos, with over 400 participants.
