1. PhD position in Experimental Physics
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are looking for a PhD candidate interested in developing a state-of-the art ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy system to uncover the structure, and consequently the function, of molecular entities controlling key life processes inside our cells. The PhD project interfaces three rich fields of research: ultrafast science, optics and structural biology. The overarching goal is to measure correlations between coherent vibrations in organic molecular systems. This approach, while technically challenging, could bring the highest degree of biomolecular specificity. The primary field of study for the PhD candidate will be to develop an experimental setup that will combine the generation of ultrabroadband pulses in the MIR spectral region (from 2.5 to 15 \u03bcm wavelength) with their coherent superposition for two-dimensional mid-infrared time domain spectroscopy (2D-MIR TDS).<\/span><\/p>\n

2. PhD position in Medical Science with an orientation towards cell biology
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brachial plexus injuries (BPI), whether traumatic or obstetrical, cause a dramatic loss of motor function in the arms and hands. Although surgical techniques exist which may promote regeneration of the injured nerve structures, the end-organ muscles are at risk of deteriorating to the degree that functional reinnervation is impossible. The distance from the site of injury to the intrinsic muscles of the hand is normally too far for the muscle to survive until the regenerating axons reach the target. The purpose of this translational project is to introduce a novel treatment regime. We propose the administration of an advanced therapy based on stem cells, for delivery of factors to rescue muscle damage. This PhD-project aims to address pre-clinical testing and characterization of the cell-based product both in vitro and in an established animal model.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. PhD position in political science with a focus on Transformation, Riskification and Geopolitics in the Arctic
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The aim of this doctoral project is to contribute with new empirical insights into political drivers in the development of the Arctic and to increase our contextual understanding by way of international concepts facilitating cross-disciplinary dialogue. The climate crisis and increasing competition over natural resources and security solutions challenge established forms of cooperation in the region and by extension the global goals of sustainability, for example as these are expressed Agenda 2030. The Arctic lacks an obvious center of gravity while the effects of transformation are unevenly distributed. Actors calculate risk under the influence of different geopolitical connotations. Who among the many actors involved have the power to influence Arctic transformation? Is it conceivable to arrive at a sustainable agenda, not broken by groups of optimists, skeptics and deniers?<\/span><\/p>\n

4. PhD position in Energy Technology \u2013 Solar thermal energy production
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Solar energy is an important renewable energy resource that can be used for different thermal applications such as space and water heating in residential buildings. To integrate solar energy in district heating systems (DHSs) medium-high temperatures are needed that could be achieved with a concentrating solar thermal collector even in high latitude regions such as the Nordic countries. Such integration could contribute to decarbonizing our society by replacing biomass- and fossil-based energy resources in the Swedish DHS and to enhance energy security. The scope of this call for new PhD students is to use system approach to investigate the environmental effects and the economic effects of integrated solar thermal in the Swedish DHSs.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. PhD student in Computational Science and Engineering with focus on Optimization for Federated Machine Learning
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Because of privacy concerns around user data, and related legislation around handling user data, there has been an increased interest in using edge devices such as mobile phones, to process user data without storing them at a central location. This has also been a major concern in privacy-sensitive areas such as in medical applications of machine learning, where sharing patient data between hospitals raises privacy issues since patient data virtually always contain private information. There has therefore been much interest lately in federated learning, a class of optimization algorithms used mainly to train a global machine learning model at disparate heterogeneous sites without sharing data between the sites. It is possible to frame federated learning as an operator splitting problem, and within the operator splitting framework, it is possible to simultaneously solve many of the problems that arise when training large-scale machine learning models on e.g., medical images or other data from multiple sites.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. PhD student in mathematics within the WASP AI programme
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Deep learning models, particularly deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have enjoyed tremendous success on an impressive number of complex problems. However, a fundamental understanding of the mathematical descriptions of the models and their extensions to non-flat data are still lacking, presenting an exciting research problem spanning several areas such as differential geometry, numerical analysis, and dynamical systems. A promising approach, referred to as geometric deep learning, is to account for the geometry of the input data by making the networks equivariant with respect to the symmetries of the data. This means that a transformation of the input produces a corresponding transformation of the output. Making such geometric structures manifest amounts to incorporating prior knowledge of the system to facilitate learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. PhD position in Mathematics with focus on Matematical Finance and Economics
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

This project looks at the valuation of real options in the presence of multiple agents and strategic competition; a framework often referred to as real option games. Classical literature argues that a strategic element in real options erodes the option value, leading to a suboptimal equilibrium. Some mechanisms that reduce this effect have been discussed recently, specifically information and noise by Lambrecht as well as complementarity and cooperation. However, in recent work the supervisor showed, that access to financial markets with specifically designed structured products can alter the decision making to move away from inefficient equilibria. In the context of this research proposal, we will build on a classical setup where companies compete for projects and make investment decisions accordingly and add a market in which shares and other derivatives products on the various companies are traded. We allow the companies to trade in these and run a portfolio alongside their own business. <\/span><\/p>\n

8. PhD position in informatics
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ongoing digitalization of the real estate industry is of major strategic interest for both the industry itself and on the national level, as the implementation of digital technology, such as sensor-based systems (Internet of Things, IoT) are prompting real estate firms to explore new avenues for value creation and at the same time improve energy efficiency with the expectation of reaching targeted sustainability goals. The implementation of sensor technology has received considerable attention in practice, but not garnered as much attention in research, especially not from an organizational or managerial perspective. This PhD position is focused on the real estate industry’s digital transformation and intends to map and analyze the new opportunities, challenges, values \u200b\u200band practices that are created through the introduction of IoT. The purpose is to be able to contribute knowledge about how organizations consciously and strategically use new digital technology in combination with existing resources to change existing operations and achieve sustainability goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

11. PhD student for our Intelligent-Human-Building Interactions lab (IHBI)
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The energy retrofitting measures alone do not guarantee energy saving in buildings, as the energy-related occupant behaviors have a considerable impact on actual energy performance. There is growing evidence that occupant-centric energy retrofitting can achieve significant energy savings. The purpose of the project is to investigate how occupant-centric energy retrofitting should be developed considering the occupant\u2019s behaviors interacted with energy retrofitting measures. The PhD student will perform a series of experiments at the IHBI lab, in order to (1) identify energy-related occupant behaviors under various energy retrofitting measures to achieve occupant-centric energy retrofitting; (2) quantify the impacts of alternative behavior on energy consumption for a better understanding the role of the occupant in energy saving. Studies are experiment-driven and multidisciplinary, in close collaboration with municipalities and other researchers.<\/span><\/p>\n
