Application Deadline: 15.Aug.2024
2. 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.

3. 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.
Application Deadline: 30.Aug.2024
4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to be stationed at the SuperADAM instrument at ILL, Grenoble. SuperADAM is the only fully Swedish owned and operated neutron instrument. It is a high-resolution polarized neutron reflectometer suited for magnetic, hard condensed matter and soft matter, as well as life science investigations. The duties of the successful candidate include the support of users on the instrument, to conduct his/her own research, as well as to work with the continued development and upgrade of the instrument. Besides functioning as a beam line scientist, the postdoctoral fellow is expected to develop his/her research, within the areas soft matter, magnetism or similar, which will be performed both at ILL and the three partner universities (Uppsala, Lund and Linköping).
Application Deadline: 20.Aug.2024
5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in software development, or software developer with a strong interest in science. You will join a new project, within which applied statistics and information theory is used to quantify the information content of neutron reflectivity datasets. Using this, we are able to optimize the design of experiments and to make previously impossible experiments possible, as well as to run existing experiments faster and better.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Department of Physics and Astronomy is hiring a postdoc who will work with the development of particle accelerators. The Department of Physics and Astronomy is one of the largest at Uppsala University, with around 400 employees, and is located in the Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala. The FREIA Laboratory, part of the department, focuses on the research and development of particle accelerators and related instrumentation. FREIA collaborates with major research facilities, such as ESS in Lund and CERN in Switzerland, and is at the forefront of scientific advancements in particle accelerator technology.
Application Deadline: 31.Aug.2024
7. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
On Gotland, there will be two co-creation living labs. The living lab most relevant for this position is the Baltic Sea living lab. The research will specifically focus on a social-ecological approach to drivers of change in marine life and citizen science related to observations of marine life. The Baltic Sea living lab will focus on the essential ocean variables (EOVs): seagrass, macroalgae, fish and invertebrates. Observations of these EOVs will be addressed across all parts of the ocean observing value chain, from planning to policy and beyond. The research will require engaging stakeholders on Gotland and beyond.
Application Deadline: 19.Aug.2024
8. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project is focused on the thermal and radiological characteristics of spent nuclear fuel (SNF), which are crucial for its safe and secure storage. This research will delve into the source term, which is pivotal in determining essential fuel parameters such as decay heat, criticality, and dose rates. The outcomes are vital for ensuring safety, security, and cost-effective engineering design of disposal facilities.
Application Deadline: 30.Aug.202
9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Those qualified for appointment as a postdoctoral fellow have been awarded a Degree of Doctor or an equivalent qualification awarded by a foreign higher education institution. The degree should have been awarded no more than three years before the deadline for applications. If special grounds exist, consideration may be given to applicants who were awarded a Degree of Doctor earlier. Special grounds may be parental leave, sick leave, elected office in a trade union, leave of absence to serve in the Swedish defence forces or similar circumstances, or a clinical position or other service/assignments of relevance to the position.

Application Deadline: 05.Sep.2024
12. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is rapidly becoming one of the most popular model organisms in biomedical research. In Sweden, zebrafish is next to mice the most frequently used species in animal experiments. From first being established as a model organism for studies on embryonic development, the use of zebrafish in other fields of biomedical research is now rapidly increasing. As a result, the use of adult fish is increasing, which puts higher demands on fish rearing and welfare.
