1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Science, the Chemical exposome and links to Health effects in pet animals
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, much effort will be on the establishment of multi-target analytical method(s) for biological samples to establish the chemical exposome of pet animals. Research will include optimization of sample preparation steps, and the development of data processing strategies using open science tools for identification of unknown molecules in complex samples, with emphasis on quality control at all stages. Complementary GC and LC-Orbitrap technology, available at ScilifeLab in the Exposomics group will be utilized. The chemical exposome will be linked to the health status and biomarkers of the pet animals to establish associations.
Application Deadline: 15.Aug.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Data Driven Evolution and Biodiversity: Plant Extinction
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project in Data-Driven Evolution and Biodiversity is part of the project ‘New probabilistic and AI methods for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions’. The student will develop new quantitative methods for extinction assessments and apply them to digitised herbarium data and information on species’ traits, distributions and threats to accelerate and improve estimates of plant extinction. The student will be trained in Red List assessments, probabilistic modelling, machine learning and computational approaches in biodiversity science.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral student position is available in the laboratory headed by Associate Professor Qi Dai. We use the combination of molecular, genetic and genomic approaches to gain mechanistic insights into how cell fates are specified. This particular project aims to uncover novel mechanisms on the spatial-temporal regulation of neural stem cells in the developing mouse brain. The experimental approaches involve ex vivo and in vivo genetic methods in combination with advanced genomic profiling techniques. Candidates with strong background at molecular genetics, developmental biology and biochemistry are welcome to apply.
Application Deadline: 10 July 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral student position is available in the laboratory of Associate Professor Claes Andréasson. The research focus is to understand the mechanisms that cells employ to maintain their proteomes folded and functional, a critical feature that is linked to aging, neurodegeneratition and cancer biology. The project revolves around proteostasis mechanisms of protein quality control and stress signaling. Specifically, the project focuses on elucidating how cells ensure the faithful production of one of the most well-expressed cellular proteins, the translation elongation factor eEF1A, using a recently discovered multichaperone pathway that is genetically linked to neurodegeneration.
Application Deadline: 10 July 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in AI for Drug development
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD student position is available in the laboratory headed by Dr. Patrick Bryant. The project addresses the creation of new AI tools for the evaluation and design of molecular interactions. The project will specifically be related to the 3D structure of proteins and other molecules such as pharmaceuticals and the prediction of interactions between these.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD student position is available in the laboratory headed by Associate Professor Christian Riedel. The project is supported by funding from the Swedish Cancer Society (Cancerfonden) and explores one of the hallmarks of aging and cancer – genome instability. Specifically, you will follow exciting new mechanistic leads on how genome instability may promote cancer through cell-non-autonomous effects. The project relies on single-cell transcriptomics, microscopy, and variety of genetic, molecular biology, and biochemical techniques. The work takes place in the model organism C. elegans and in human cell culture.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD student position is available in the laboratory headed by Associate Professor Qiaolin Deng.The project addresses molecular mechanisms coupled to reveal human placental development in disease, and developmental programming effects mediated by the placenta. Disease-derived human trophoblast organoids will be established and further developed to incorporate multiple cell types. More importantly, microfluidic co-culture of placental organoids with metabolic tissue organoids (i.e. liver, heart, brain) will be established to investigate developmental programming effects in human.
Application Deadline: 10 July 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD student position is available in the laboratory headed by Professor Martin Jastroch.The project addresses molecular mechanisms coupled to energy metabolism, in particular related to obesity, metabolic diseaes or evolution. We use animal (mice, zebrafish, opossums) and cellular (adipocytes) models to understand the underlying mechanisms in the development of metabolic function and dysfunction, assessed with mouse metabolic phenotyping, bioenergetic and molecular analyses.
Application Deadline: 10 July 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geochemistry and Petrology focusing on novel Carbon Dioxide Removal technologies
Summary of PhD Program:
According to the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC, 2022), mitigation pathways that offer a 50% chance of limiting end-of-century global warming to 1.5°C rely partly on removal of as much as 1090 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by novel Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies. Currently, 0.002 billion tons of carbon dioxide are removed annually from the atmosphere by such technologies. In other words, novel CDR technologies need to be upscaled by as much as a factor of 5000 from present-day levels. Novel CDR technologies involve storing carbon in rocks, of which mafic volcanic rocks (basalts) are of particular interest because carbon storage has been shown to occur by rapid mineralization (Matter et al., 2016).
