About the position

Malmö University is an innovative, urban, and internationally-oriented academic institution that, thanks to its committed and experienced staff, contributes to societal development. Here, teachers, researchers, and other employees with various competencies work together to conduct high-quality education and research. All professional categories and roles are important. You are welcome to apply for a job with us!


The successful candidate will become a member of the research group at Malmö University specialized in physico-chemical properties of water and its interactions with solid surfaces, biomolecules and polymers.

The post-doctoral researcher will be involved in at least one of the following projects:

1-Interactions of biodegradable polymers with water
The project addresses the environmental harm of polymer plastics and the growing need to reduce (micro)plastics in oceans. It seeks to develop eco-friendly, technically viable alternatives for both packaging and advanced applications. By using well-selected raw material blends and scalable production methods, the project will generate knowledge to meet regulatory demands and consumer expectations. Interactions between the materials and water, crucial for biodegradation, will be studied through experimental techniques, with a focus on advanced future applications.

2-Interactions of water with lipid-based drug delivery systems

Lipid liquid crystalline (LLC) formulations, used as drug carriers, have gained attention for their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs. Their biodegradable, non-toxic, and bioadhesive properties make them ideal for improving bioavailability, dose control, and patient compliance while reducing side effects. Detailed physico-chemical characterization is essential for regulating their function and understanding drug release behavior. We will use water-lipid interactions to fine-tune physico-chemical properties of formulations that determine drug release rate.


3-Interactions of water with solid surfaces

Water, a ubiquitous substance, affects the properties of all molecules and materials it contacts, forming a thin interfacial layer at surfaces with distinct properties from bulk water. These properties are influenced by the presence of various molecules such as salts, hydrophobic molecules, surfactants, and biopolymers. This project aims to study the properties of water at interfaces, particularly how these are influenced by hydrophobic molecules, surfaces, electrostatic interactions, and specific ion effects. Experimental methods include contact angle measurements, AFM, QCM-D, DLS, SAXS, and FTIR. Potential applications include developing environmentally friendly washing and cleaning methods.

Your requirement 

A researcher must have a doctoral degree, or a foreign degree considered on par with a doctoral degree. The ideal candidate holds a PhD degree in e.g., physical chemistry, surface or colloid chemistry, physics or biophysics, physical pharmacy etc.

In addition to formal competence, University employees must possess the personal capacities necessary to perform the duties of the position well and to represent the University in the best possible way.

Specific requirements for this position:
  • Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent
  • Strong background in physical chemistry or related discipline
  • Strong skills in laboratory work
  • Ability to present and communicate research ideas to researchers in spoken (communications) and written (research papers) forms
  • Good command of written English.

The following would be of benefit for the position:
  • Experience in surface characterization techniques, calorimetric or water sorption techniques, scattering techniques, other laboratory techniques relevant for surface and colloid chemistry or pharmacy.
  • Strong software skills, e.g. in MATLAB, molecular modeling software etc.
