Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Umeå 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 Medical Sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
At the Department of Radiation Sciences, we research and teach in the fields of radio physics and medical engineering, oncology, and diagnostic radiology. We have internationally recognised research environments where the breadth of subject areas enables innovation and collaboration across borders. Most of our researchers and teachers work clinically in our premises at NUS – at the centre of our organisation. We welcome applications for a Doctoral position in cancer epidemiology at the Department of Radiation Sciences. The employment period is four years and is full-time, starting early spring 2024 or by agreement.
Application Deadline: 2024-01-31
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for one to two PhD students in medical science with a specialization in pathology. There are several research projects starting in our newly established research group at the Department of Medical Biosciences, Umeå University. The research group is connected to SciLifeLab and is part of the National Program for Data-driven Life Science (DDLS, www.sscilifelab.se/data-driven), generously funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. Our research uses machine learning and mechanistic computational models along with patient data to create clinically predictive computational models for cancer and other diseases.
Application Deadline: 2024-01-14

3. 03 Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
We now announce three PhD positions in the field of organic electronics, with the overall goal of realizing a uniquely functional and sustainable light-emission technology through the development and implementation of “green” designed materials, advanced measurement methods, and novel device designs. The last day for application is January 7, 2024. The starting date is March 1, 2024, or by agreement.
Application Deadline: 2024-01-07
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science towards Medical Biochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project in the lab of Andreas Kohler focuses on the quality control of mitochondrially-encoded proteins. Mitochondria are vital cellular organelles originating as endosymbionts and hence, containing their own genome. Encoded proteins are major building blocks of the respiratory chain, important for cellular energy homeostasis and thus, for cellular functionality. To maintain cellular health during ageing, protein quality control (PQC) of mitochondrial proteins is essential. Although we have a growing understanding of how PQC of proteins encoded by nuclear DNA works, PQC mechanisms of mitochondrially-encoded proteins remain elusive. Our research aims to decipher the molecular principles of these PQC mechanisms in health, age, and disease by using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cell culture as major model systems.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sports Medicine
Summary of PhD Program:
The ongoing societal transformation and large green investments in northern Sweden create enormous opportunities and complex challenges. For Umeå University, conducting research about – and in the middle of – a society in transition is key. We also take pride in delivering education to enable regions to expand quickly and sustainably. In fact, the future is made here.
Application Deadline: 2023-12-29
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science with focus on Interaction with Autonomous Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
Knowing when full autonomy will fail and collaboration with others is needed to successfully execute a task is a fundamental ability for humans to ensure efficiency, safety, and even survival. This ability is equally important for autonomous systems, such as robots or self-driving vehicles. Such systems operate in our public or private spaces. There, they will often be faced with ill-defined or ambiguous human requests, in particular if the human interaction partner is naïve with respect to the system’s capabilities and inner workings. The systems’ success will depend as much on users’ trust and willingness to cooperate as it will on the systems’ technological and engineering capabilities.
