If you’re a Masters degree holder and seeking Fully Funded PhD Programs, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden has several online applications open for PhD programs. Explore the PhD opportunities across diverse research areas and submit your application soon.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in agrarian history
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD student we are looking for will be part of the ERC-funded project TransRein. TransRein is about the sweeping change that took place in northern Eurasia, from the Atlantic coast to the Bering Strait, during the early modern era when an economy based on hunting and fishing and small reindeer herds transitioned to large-scale reindeer husbandry. It was a change that fundamentally affected people and societies. In the doctoral project, one aspect of this change will be studied, the social consequences, and it will be done in a Sami context. The thesis work will therefore touch on issues such as: heritage, gender, social justice, division of labor, households, networks and social relations, all about indigenous peoples. The doctoral project’s design and exact questions are drawn up in collaboration between the supervisors and the person receiving the position.
Application Deadline: 2024-08-31
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in artificial intelligence in agriculture
Summary of PhD Program:
The agriculture sector is increasingly focusing on advanced digital technologies to adapt to environmental and operational challenges. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems are transforming agricultural practices to smarter and more efficient farming systems. In this context, machine vision is crucial for field and crop health monitoring, allowing for the detection and response to crop issues in real-time. These technologies are creating new opportunities in agriculture, especially when integrated with autonomous machines that optimize resource use, enhance productivity, and ensure sustainable practices by enabling accurate and individual monitoring.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Spider Silk Protein Biochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
You will be part of an excellent team of several PhD students, Postdocs and Researchers working on different projects related to biotechnological methods for producing recombinant silk proteins, characterization of these, spinning of fibers, protein engineering, material characterization and bioinformatics to understand the transcriptome profile of the silk glands. Your work will involve cloning, protein expression, protein purification, spinning and tensile testing. Additionally, you will use biophysical methods like circular dichroism spectroscopy, birefringence microscopy, rheology, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
Application Deadline: 2024-08-26
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plant-Virus Interactions
Summary of PhD Program:
Viruses are among the fastest evolving organisms, which has contributed to their expansion into a very large and diverse group. Commonly they have a predisposition to acquire virulence strategies through parallel evolution. Thereby viruses as a group, i.e. the “virome”, has become an extensive resource of divergent effector proteins that target potential pro- or antiviral pathways. Building on this hypothesis, one of our main approaches is to utilize virus diversity for studying the basic molecular mechanisms of selected plant pathways, how they function in antiviral defence and, their possible co-option to promote infection. This PhD project will focus mainly on how diverse plant viruses interact with RNA regulative networks including stress granules, processing bodies and translation.
