2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biophysics<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In the framework of an ERC Advanced Grant, the student will investigate the activity and function of disease-related genome-interacting protein complexes. A strong focus will be on developing and applying novel single-molecule FRET-based imaging approaches to record the real-time dynamics by which these protein complexes manipulate their nucleic acid substrates. Additionally, the student will leverage a powerful and as-of-yet unpublished approach, which combines single-molecule fluorescence microscopy with next-generation sequencing to enable highly multiplexed observations of complex dynamics at the single-molecule level. To uncover fundamental principles of genome organization, the student will comprehensively profile how the dynamics of genome-processing protein complexes depend on the sequence of the nucleic acids they interact with. Furthermore, a range of biochemical and biophysical approaches will be employed to further characterize these processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Solid State Physics, with focus on the synthesis and study of next-generation sustainable magnets<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Permanent magnets are key elements in many of today\u2019s technologies for energy conversion. The most powerful permanent magnets are based on rare earth metals, which are classified as both rare and strategic, meaning both scarcity and high price. In this project, we develop sustainable magnets using new synthesis methods and establish their utility through detailed magnetic measurements. The synthesis includes nanocomposites and metal alloys free from, or with a very small content of, rare earth metals. One goal of the project is to experimentally realize new alloys and compounds that, from calculations, are predicted to have high performance as permanent magnets.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in scientific computing focusing on earthquake modeling<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The topic of this project is modeling and simulation of earthquakes. All earthquake models contain partially unknown parameters, such as seismic wave speeds and frictional parameters on a fault. Since direct measurements of these parameters remain infeasible, we have to use seismometer data and other indirect measurements to constrain the parameters. This inverse problem is the main focus of the project. In close collaboration with geophysicists at Stanford University, we have recently developed a framework to invert for frictional parameters. The project goals are to extend the framework to different kinds of geophysical data and to implement the new methods in efficient software to facilitate earthquake simulations of with realistic physics and complex fault geometries in 3D.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Systematic Biology<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The lab focuses on understanding the evolution of genomes and the genetic basis of adaptation in fungi. We recently discovered that many fungi harbour massive transposable elements, named Starships, that mobilize a vast diversity of fungal genes. We have now deciphered how the Starships move within genomes, but a growing amount of evidence suggests that they are also capable of moving between genomes. The main goal of the PhD position is to demonstrate in a laboratory setting the horizontal transfer of a Starship between different fungi. This will be done by genetically modifying model strains so that successful transfers can be screened at high throughput on selective media. Additional objectives for understanding what factors influence the horizontal transfer will also be a core part of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Cardiovascular development and genome engineering<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Hemodynamic forces generated by the blood flow are an essential regulator of cardiovascular development and function. In consequence, flow perturbations are associated with congenital anomalies such as cardiac valve pathologies and vasculopathies. The flow forces are exerted on endothelial cells, which line the vessel wall. Specialized forms of endothelium include the endocardium, critical for cardiac function, and the blood-brain barrier that preserves the integrity of the central nervous system.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The laboratory aims to determine the mechanosensory response in these specialized endothelial populations and establish novel conditional loss-of-function strategies to study cardiovascular system formation. We use the zebrafish, a leading model in cardiovascular research, exploiting a combination of next-generation sequencing, high-resolution imaging, advanced genome engineering, and functional analyses.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in evolutionary genomics of symbiotic bacteria and their hosts<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The project aims to study how symbiotic interactions between bacteria and animal hosts affect both partners\u2019 genetic material and evolution. Our model system is the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia in different Drosophila species, primarily from the willistoni group. Wolbachia is often called one of the world\u2019s most successful infections since it can be found in a large variety of invertebrates and is estimated to infect over 60% of all insect species on Earth. It is maternally transmitted, occurs in both facultative and obligate host interactions and can be everything from beneficial to pathogenic for the host. However, Wolbachia is best known as a facultative infection that interferes with host reproduction to increase the fitness of infected females and thereby its transmission success.<\/span><\/p>\n

18. <\/span>Fully Funded PhD Position in Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modelling – Antibiotics<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of PhD Program:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A doctoral position focusing on the characterization of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships for the translation of antibiotic effects from advanced preclinical experimental systems to patients is available in the research area pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamics, specialization antibiotics, at the Department of Pharmacy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Antibiotic resistance is rapidly increasing globally and improved methods are needed that can accelerate the development of new antibiotic therapies. The experimental models most commonly used today to study pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of antibiotics focuses on the bactericidal effect in the medium and ignore the impact on tissues and the impact of the immune system, i.e. the processes that affect the clinical picture of the infection. In vitro systems that can mimic the physiological processes are therefore under development. An important next step is to clarify how the information from these systems should be translated into appropriate dosing strategies in patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
