1. Postdoctoral position in dynamics of compound climate extremes
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
G. Messori’s research group hosts two H2020 research projects and several national projects, focussing on multiple aspects of mid and high latitude climate extremes. More information on ongoing research can be found at https://gmessori.weebly.com/. The post-doc will work within the frame of G. Messori’s ERC grant: “Compound Climate Extremes in North America and Europe: from Dynamics to Predictability”. The aim of the work is to identify compound extremes hotspots in Europe and North America and advance our understanding of the dynamical processes in the atmosphere and large-scale circulation dynamics driving the compound occurrences. There is considerable freedom to focus on different approaches, from indicators issued from dynamical systems theory to data-driven or idealized modelling tools. The post-doc, if s/he so wishes, will also have the opportunity to engage in teaching/supervising duties.

3. Postdoc in bacteriology with focus on development of rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Rapid antibiotic susceptibility tests (rASTs) are highly desired in modern clinical practice for quick selection of right antibiotics to treat infectious diseases at the early but critical stage. However, currently available testing methods normally require growth of bacteria into colonies, which usually take more than two days to accomplish a task. They are, therefore, not satisfactory for practical needs that require fast answers. Moreover, these methods are not applicable for slow-growing bacteria, or samples containing sub-populations of slow- or non-growing bacteria which can resume growth after the antibiotic attack. To understand if and how the sub-population of slow-/non-growing bacteria causes failure in infection treatments, rASTs at the single cell level is required. To address these challenges, our project aims at developing a novel Silicon (Si) chip based all-electrical testing platform to achieve rAST at single cell level. The success of this project will potentially provide a low-cost and rapid ASTs platform for effective infection treatments. It could also help to accelerate the development of new antibiotic drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.

8. Postdoctoral position in deep learning based sparse view tomography
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We offer a two-year postdoctoral fellowship based on a grant from Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation and the Tandem Forest Values programme at the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry. The position includes research into theory and development of deep learning algorithms for computer vision regression tasks in tomographic image reconstruction, meaning that input is noisy sparse view tomographic data of an object. One aim is to merge deep probabilistic regression with handcrafted physics models for generating data from an image. Work will be spearheaded by the need to detect and locate interior imperfections (cracks, knots, metallic inserts, etc.) of logs from sparse view tomographic data. This application is part of a collaboration with a larger international project supported by the Academy of Finland involving researchers at LUT-University and University of Oulu with an overall goal of developing methods for image guided optimization of the sawline in processing of forest logs. It is also part of a recently initiated collaboration with researchers at the Wood Science and Engineering at Luleå University of Technology.
