1. Fully Funded PhD Position in oral-systemic health research
Summary of PhD Program:
The research group within the Division of Oral Health and Periodontology, Department of Dental Medicine, conducts translational research focusing on novel disease mechanisms related to systemic disorders and oral diseases. We specifically focus on the inflammatory pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, microbial etiology of common oral diseases exploration of the oral microbiome, inter-connection between oral and general health. Our goal is to perform cutting-edge research in oral health, to optimize prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common oral diseases, and contribute to the overall well-being.
Application Deadline: 25.Aug.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in computational developmental biology and stem cell research
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will aim at integrating single cell clonal, spatial and dissociated cell transcriptomics data for 3D neurodevelopmental reconstruction using a machine learning approach and beyond. Combo of single cell and spatial transcriptomics adds a critical layer of information by mapping gene expression patterns to specific locations within the nervous tissue, revealing how cells interact within their microenvironment. Single cell clonal data tracks the lineage relationships between cells, providing insight into the clonal evolution of neural cells during development and regeneration. This clonal data is crucial for identifying progenitor cells and understanding their role in generating the diverse cell types.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in DNA Tools for Spatial Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
This project is financed by a an ERC Advanced Grant to Björn Högberg with the aim to generate images of RNA distributions in tissue using methods that have become known as DNA Microcsopy. The principle is that by letting barcoded strands of DNA (for example cDNA) interact and concatenate in-situ, it is possible to generate adjacency information from sequence alone, independent from optical microscopy. This adjacency or neighbor-neighbor information can be used generate images in a computer. Today one person can routinely read millions of sequences on a weekly basis. And likely soon, we will be able to read billions of sequences daily in small labs.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Characterization of Mycobacteria host-pathogen interactions using multi-omics approaches
Summary of PhD Program:
The Fossati lab (https://fossatilab.app) investigates bacterial immune systems composition and mechanism by employing a combination of bulk NGS technologies and high-throughput interaction proteomics approaches (Fossati et al. 2023, Nat Com) as well as developing computational solutions to analyze next-generation interaction proteomics datasets using machine learning (Fossati et al. 2021, Nat Methods) and deep learning (Frommelt and Fossati et al, Nat Methods 2024).
Application Deadline: 20.Jul.2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mucosal Immunology and Intestinal Diseases
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of the PhD project is to characterize the cell circuit of the colonic tissue from healthy, IBD, and colorectal (CRC) patients, as well as in experimental models of colitis and CRC. This will be done using established methodologies, like multiplex staining platforms and novel, non-commercially available Spatial metaTranscriptomics (SmT) for the identification of the host and microbiome signal in situ (SmT; Saarenpää S., et al., BioRxiv, 2022). The study plan will be establishing a spatial transcriptomic reference atlases of healthy and diseases intestinal tissues and functional characterize host-microbiome interactions involved in health and diseases.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in colon cancer and the microbiome
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work on an exciting project on understanding how the gut microbiome and its metabolites promote colon cancer. Our team has a solid background in proteomics, bioinformatics and biochemistry. You will combine versatile methods including mass spectrometry-based proteomics, cell-based techniques, molecular biology and biochemistry to identify the targets and mechanism of metabolites that modulate cancer growth. Our new multidimensional proteomics technique called PISA-REX will be one of the exemplary tools that will be exploited (Saei et al. BioRxiv, 2023). Intermediate levels of bioinformatics will be required in the project.
Application Deadline: 10.Jul.2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nutrition Epidemiology
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a driven and responsible person for a thesis project with a focus on lifestyle and kidney cancer. The project involves epidemiological research and statistical analyzes of cohort data to investigate the relationship between diet and physical activity and risk of kidney cancer, as well as qualitative studies where patients with kidney cancer are interviewed about their experiences after diagnosis. The doctoral student will learn to master both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Doctoral projects will include collaboration with international research groups and patient associations.
Application Deadline: 2024-07-07
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in rectal cancer research
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral studies correspond to 4 years of full-time studies and must be able to be combined with clinical service. This includes scientific work, courses, seminars and conferences. The doctoral student will be able to carry out extensive data analysis and carefully read the literature available in the subject. The doctoral student will also carry out advanced statistical analyzes for each sub-study that will be included in the thesis under the supervision of a statistician. Under supervision and with support from the supervisor, the doctoral student must prepare the scientific manuscripts as first author.
Application Deadline: 2024-07-04
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in nanotechnology and metabolism
Summary of PhD Program:
The Teixeira group investigates the roles of spatial organization in biological processes. We develop methods to modulate the nanoscale spatial organization and valency of biomolecules to control membrane receptor functions. Further we develop DNA nanotechnology-based approaches to map membrane protein nanodomains (e.g. Spratt, Dias et al., Nature Nanotechnology, 2023; Ambrosetti et al, Nature Nanotechnology, 2021; Fang et al, ACS Nano, 2021; Verheyen, Fang et al, Nucleic Acids Research, 2020; Shaw, Lundin, et al, Nat Methods 2014).

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in health data science
Summary of PhD Program:
Hydroclimate extremes (e.g. floods, droughts and heatwaves) negatively affect both human and natural systems, having led to over 2 million deaths worldwide over the last 50 years. Climate change increases the frequency and severity of such events, notably of floods and heatwaves. For instance, in 2022, amid a drought, Italy’s river Misa overflowed, devastating agriculture, while Europe faced simultaneous heatwaves and droughts. In the spring of 2023, the Po Valley in Italy experienced flooding following a prolonged drought, concurrently with Spain undergoing a heatwave-drought. This points to the urgency of reducing the impacts on the most vulnerable societal groups by developing new recommendations and long-term mitigation strategies.
