Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Stockholm University, Sweden invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Science, the Chemical exposome and links to Health effects in pet animals
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, much effort will be on the establishment of multi-target analytical method(s) for biological samples to establish the chemical exposome of pet animals. Research will include optimization of sample preparation steps, and the development of data processing strategies using open science tools for identification of unknown molecules in complex samples, with emphasis on quality control at all stages. Complementary GC and LC-Orbitrap technology, available at ScilifeLab in the Exposomics group will be utilized. The chemical exposome will be linked to the health status and biomarkers of the pet animals to establish associations.
Application Deadline: 15.Aug.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Data Driven Evolution and Biodiversity: Plant Extinction
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project in Data-Driven Evolution and Biodiversity is part of the project ‘New probabilistic and AI methods for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions’. The student will develop new quantitative methods for extinction assessments and apply them to digitised herbarium data and information on species’ traits, distributions and threats to accelerate and improve estimates of plant extinction. The student will be trained in Red List assessments, probabilistic modelling, machine learning and computational approaches in biodiversity science.
Application Deadline: 31 July 2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geochemistry and Petrology focusing on novel Carbon Dioxide Removal technologies
Summary of PhD Program:
According to the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC, 2022), mitigation pathways that offer a 50% chance of limiting end-of-century global warming to 1.5°C rely partly on removal of as much as 1090 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by novel Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies. Currently, 0.002 billion tons of carbon dioxide are removed annually from the atmosphere by such technologies.
In other words, novel CDR technologies need to be upscaled by as much as a factor of 5000 from present-day levels. Novel CDR technologies involve storing carbon in rocks, of which mafic volcanic rocks (basalts) are of particular interest because carbon storage has been shown to occur by rapid mineralization (Matter et al., 2016).

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Application of Machine Learning to Advance Bathymetric Seafloor Mapping and Data Compilation
Summary of PhD Program:
Recognizing the critical importance of seafloor mapping, the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 project was launched in 2017 with the goal of inspiring ocean mapping and delivering a complete map of the world’s ocean floor by the year 2030 for the benefit of humankind. While the available high-resolution seafloor mapping data has increased, covering about 6% of the world’s oceans in 2017 and almost 25 % in 2024, new technologies and approaches will be needed to help fill the remaining 75% of the seafloor that has not yet been directly mapped.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Marine Geology: Arctic Ocean borealization during past warm climates: signals from planktonic foraminifera
Summary of PhD Program:
The purpose of this PhD project is to gain improved understanding of pelagic changes and plankton migration in the Arctic Ocean in response to Arctic Atlantification and borealization during warmer periods of the past 1-2 million years. The primary tool will be fossil planktonic foraminifera, supported by other sedimentary and geochemical datasets, from across the central Arctic and subpolar seas. The successful candidate will collect original data on foraminifera biodiversity and palaeobiology, shell chemistry and preservability, and use these parameters as tools to gain insight into plankton migration, pelagic evolutionary responses, paleoceanography, ocean geochemistry and climate change, as well as helping improve Arctic geo-chronological frameworks.
