2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
For centuries, the so-called Viking Age (c.750-1050 CE) has been subject to political misappropriation and projected, monochrome stereotype – making it all the more urgent to emphasise that the people of the time were individuals as varied and complicated, in every way, as ourselves. This spotlight on diversity, in all senses of the term, lies at the heart of the WIVA Centre: our objective is to recover a Viking Age that does not care what we think of it, a pluralistic past as it was (hard though that can be to access), not as anyone might wish it to have been. The notion of a Norse diaspora has now become commonplace in studies of the period, but also requires deconstruction. Our focus is the world in the Viking Age, an arena of mutual interactions, contacts and cultural feedback, subtly different from the more familiar ‘Viking world’.

5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Burki lab was awarded an ERC Consolidator grant (PlastidOrigin) to study one of the most transformative events in eukaryote evolution–the origin and evolution of the photosynthetic organelles (the plastids) in Eukaryotes. We have recently built a large dataset of environmental plastid genomes using metagenome-assembled genomics, which led to the discovery of a novel plastid group only distantly related to known main groups of algae. This is an exciting finding not only because totally new algal groups are only very rarely discovered, but also because it has the potential to help explaining how plastids have spread across the tree of eukaryotes by endosymbiosis. The primarily aims of this position will be to attempt to isolate this new lineage from environmental samples, and characterising its morphology and genomes to provide detailed information on behaviour and evolution.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The recruiting group in the Materials Physics division within the Department of Physics and Astronomy investigates advanced materials for applications in fusion energy, smart windows, hydrogen storage & nanoelectronics using beams of swift ions to link structure and composition on a true atomistic scale with physical properties and macroscopic functionality. The group also performs fundamental investigations of the interaction of ions in matter to obtain a better understanding of the underlying physics and improved methods. These methods permit to determine concentrations and depth profiles of atoms and molecules in a material with very high accuracy for samples from biological, environmental and technological contexts.

8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Most rivers are heavily influenced by humans. In many places, rivers are therefore being restored to promote water quality and biological diversity. Construction of wetlands and dam removal are two common measures, and both lead to an increased abundance of macrophytes, i.e. plants in or near water. Macrophytes can emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases, but at the same time also bind carbon and thus constitute a carbon sink. The CLIMIPHY project aims to create new knowledge about the climate footprint of macrophytes that gives river restoration professionals the opportunity to restore watercourses in a way that favors biodiversity and water quality, with as little climate footprint as possible.

10. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Your main tasks will be to finalize the NESSA 14-MeV neutron facility and contribute to developing the experimental program at NESSA. Neutrons are a key player in nuclear applications. The availability of neutron sources is especially important for developing and testing detectors for nuclear physics experiments and applications, development and testing of nuclear instruments for verification of nuclear safeguards and disarmament, radiation-shielding studies, development and verification of simulation tools for neutron transports, and irradiation of material and electronics. After the closing of several research reactors and accelerator-based neutron sources (e.g. The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala), there is a current lack of neutron facilities in the Nordic countries.
