Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset. Description of the workplaceOur division in the Enoch Thulin laboratory develops laser spectroscopic diagnostics techniques for industrial and environmental applications. In the biophotonic sensing group we are experts in light interaction with biological tissue and living organisms. Furthermore, we have a strong tradition of bringing realistic photonic instrumentation into real world scenarios, in particular we developed and investigated environmental applications of Scheimpflug lidar and its hyperspectral variety. Our methods have applications within profiling pollination services, biodiversity in both forests and marine environment and pest surveillance in aquafarming. Our group will comprise a handful of PhD candidates, and several researchers and MSc students and also a broad interdisciplinary network of collaborators at other departments and institutes. More information about our group is available at www.mbrydegaard.com Subject descriptionThe project aims to develop elastic and inelastic hyperspectral lidars for biological targets in marine, forest and aerospace environments. The goal of the project is to develop and demonstrate hyperspectral lidar applications to monitor biotargets such as pollen, lichen, zooplankton and disease vectors. In particular relating spectral characteristics of micro and nanofeatures on the targets and validating this through conventional methods such as electron microscopy. Field observational data constitute high volumes and require data reduction and development of data pipelines. The highly dimensional data will be treated and analyzed by advanced clustering algorithms. Work dutiesThe main duties involved in a post-doctoral position is to conduct research. Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours. The position includes the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning. The purpose of the position is to develop the independence as a researcher and to create the opportunity of further development. Detailed description of the work duties, such as:
