2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Energy Engineering – with a special emphasis on electro-conversion of lignin and its derivatives for bio-chemical production
Summary of PhD Program:
This is is a four-year PhD project, with financial support from the Swedish Energy Agency and the cooperation with the Umeå University. The overall aim of the project is to develop effective ionic liquids (ILs) as promoters to improve performance.
Within the PhD project, we will develop a novel concept to produce bio-based aromatic chemicals and green H2 simultaneously from lignin, focusing on the anode side to lower the energy demand, where ionic liquids will be used to promote the dissolution and activation of lignin and its derivatives, nanostructured electrocatalysts (anodes) will be developed, and energy, cost, and environmental impact will be quantified, and machine learning will be used.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cybersecurity, Blockchain and Secure Access Control
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for two motivated and innovative PhD students to join our research team to develop cutting-edge solutions that integrate the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins, and blockchain technologies to improve safety, security, and reliability in high-risk industries such as energy, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing. You will be involved in a multi-disciplinary project as a focus on conducting experimental research, developing prototypes, publishing research articles and collaborating with international partners. In addition, today’s systems and networks face many challenges, including centralized points of failure, data breaches, insider threats and lack of transparency.
Application Deadline: 5 August 2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cybersecurity, Secure IT/OT/IoT and Cloud Security
Summary of PhD Program:
The use of automation systems for control of production and distribution processes increases the vulnerability to the cyber threats that have become increasingly common in recent years, while cloud services are increasingly being used for these automation systems. In order to secure IT and OT environments to be maintained over time, there needs to be management systems for cyber security that cooperate with each other. In this work, we focus on experimental research concerning technical parts of cyber-secure management systems, such as network construction, network security and architecture for security, a so-called “blueprint”, which can be multiplied between different sites and organizations.
Application Deadline: 5 August 2024
