8. Fully Funded PhD Position in biology
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral student position is part of European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant funded project INTERSPEC, and will specifically address interactions between plant symbiont ectomycorrhizal and litter decomposing saprotrophic fungi. Although typically inhabiting different layers of forest soils, they have been shown to compete for limiting nutrients (e.g. nitrogen (N)) with great effects on the overall organic matter decomposition rates. The goal of the PhD student will be to determine how varying nutrient conditions in laboratory grown co-cultures affect the outcome of this competition as well as composition and function of secondary metabolomes of the competing partners.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in primary forest research
Summary of PhD Program:
Within the research group, we have developed the only known map of primary forests in Sweden and established a network of sample plots where vegetation and soil have been sampled. This information, along with complementary field data collection, will form the basis of the project. With this unique information, the project aims to increase our understanding of the factors that contribute to greater drought resistance in primary forests. The project aims to investigate what makes primary forests more drought-resistant than managed forests and map how these factors are represented in managed forests.
Application Deadline: 01.Aug.2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science focusing on robotics
Summary of PhD Program:
Human-centric environments are generally designed for humans with two arms, and even the simplest tasks such as carrying a tray or playing lego is very challenging with only one arm. Interestingly, most industrial robots, with the notable exception of the ABB robot YuMi or Baxter, have only one arm, and programming them not only requires special tricks such as fixtures and custom-made grippers, and some tasks, e.g. handling flexible materials, are almost impossible to do with one arm. Reusable robot programs, so-called robot skills, are currently limited to single-arm robots. The goal of this project is to extend existing skill representations, including related techniques such as behaviours trees, to support fast and easy programming of dual-arm robot skills and tasks.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
Oxygen-depleted environments, such as aquatic sediments, are widespread on our planet. While often considered “anoxic dead zones”, these zones support diverse life, including eukaryotic microbes. These eukaryotes exhibit specialized metabolism especially in their mitochondria. The goal of this PhD project is to explore the mitochondrial biology of anaerobic eukaryotes to understand how their metabolism and organelle function has evolved in adaptation to environments without oxygen. We will focus on the anaerobic respiratory chain (electron transport chain), oxygen detoxification pathways and hydrogen transfer metabolism that have co-evolved in distinct lineages of anaerobes that inhabit the Baltic Sea.
