1. 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.
Project descriptions
A brief description of the planned research is as follows:
The first PhD project is focused on the design, synthesis and characterization of functional and environmentally benign materials.
The second PhD project is focused on the development and utilization of advanced measurement methods for the characterization of advanced materials and devices.
The third PhD project is focused on the development and realization of a novel technology, termed a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), by implementation of designed and sustainable materials and methods.
Application Deadline: 2024-01-07
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
In response to the plans of several countries, including Sweden and Finland, to deposit high-level nuclear waste in deep geological repositories, this doctoral project funded by the Swedish Radiation Authority (SSM), will investigate the chemical and structural changes of various minerals in contact with water upon exposure to ionizing radiation (gamma and X-ray radiation). The successful candidate will join a research group specializing in molecular geochemistry (moleculargeo.chem.umu.se) at the Department of Chemistry at Umeå university (www.umu.se/chemistry), in collaboration with Prof. Mats Jonsson at Applied Physical Chemistry, KTH, Sweden.
Application Deadline: 2023-11-30

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
This Ph.D. project is on the mineralization of CO2 by MgO and CaO minerals, and is funded by the Formas. The selected candidate will explore mechanisms of Mg- and Ca-carbonate formation on MgO and CaO (nano)minerals exposed to the atmosphere. This research aims to support direct air capture technologies for mitigating hikes in atmospheric CO2 levels, as well as advancing fundamental ideas on mineral growth. This work will make use of various spectroscopic methods, X-ray diffraction and possibly computational modelling techniques available at Umeå University. The candidate will integrate the Molecular Geochemistry (http://moleculargeo.chem.umu.se/) research environment of the Department of Chemistry (https://www.umu.se/chemistry) and work with various analytical platforms of the Chemical and Biological Center (https://www.umu.se/en/chemical-biological-centre/).
Application Deadline: 2023-11-30
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a PhD student in Medical Science with an orientation towards Molecular Biology and a special interest in proteostasis and cellular ageing. The position at the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University is temporary for four years to start March 1 st or as agreed. The PhD student will participate in activities provided by the Department of Molecular Biology, the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS), and the Umeå Centrum for Microbial Research (UCMR), thus providing interaction with researchers from different research fields and access to various scientific and technical expertise.
Application Deadline: 2023-11-27
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Biosciences
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.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
In the project, we will use Drosophila as a model system to study chromosome-specific gene regulation and chromosome segregation. The Doctoral student’s activities include studying advanced Drosophila genetics, involving design, and making genetic constructs, gene editing, phenotypic analysis, immunostainings, and cytology. The research activities are also expected to enter implementation and bioinformatic analysis of, e.g., ChIP-seq and RNA-seq experiments.
