1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science with focus on Software Security
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is funded by WASP. Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish industry.
Application Deadline: 2023-08-31
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in medical sciences, surgery
Summary of PhD Program:
Our group studies evolutionary conserved signalling networks that can act as cancer drivers and aim to find tractable pharmacological targets and novel lead molecules within that niche. We focus on tumours harbouring activating mutations in the MAPK/ERK signalling pathway. To this end we have developed a powerful in vivo screening platform using the small nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This allows us to screen for novel tumour suppressing drugs and genes. Positive findings will be genetically characterized in C. elegans and validated functionally in human cancer models.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sociology
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD position is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program on Humanities and Society (WASP-HS), which aims to realize excellent research and develop competence on the consequences and challenges of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems for humanity and society. This 10-year program is initiated and generously funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MMW) with 660 million SEK. In addition to this, the program receives support from collaborating industry and from participating universities.
Application Deadline: 2023-08-16
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is focused on preparation graphene related materials optimized for application in supercapacitors. The project aims to prepare materials with high surface area using chemical modification of graphene and graphene oxide, introducing different defects and addition of nanoparticles. Important part of project is aimed on design of environmentally friendly water based dispersions based on graphene related materials for preparation of electrodes with high surface area. Dispersions and inks will be optimized for best performance in supercapacitors and for several electrode manufacturing methods including spray deposition and printing.
Application Deadline: 2023-08-15
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Chemicals in products and materials provide large societal and health benefits, however some chemicals are ubiquitous in the environment and some have shown to cause adverse effects in biota including humans. Sustainable use of chemicals and efficient regulatory and policy actions requires expertise and tools for early identification of potentially hazardous chemicals. This project aims at developing tools to characterize and identify polymers as new and/or emerging risk chemicals (NERCs). Polymers are often overlooked in risk assessment of chemicals and here we will focus on fluorinated polymers that could degrade to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Application Deadline: 2023-08-10
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in political science
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Political Science is recruiting a doctoral student in political science. Starting date October 2nd, 2023, or by agreement. The position as a doctoral student is in political science. The doctoral project will preferably depart from one of our five research profile areas and applicants are therefore encouraged to write a research plan in relation to one of the five profiles (please find information about the research profiles below). We look for a doctoral student who is creative, highly motivated for participating in the PhD programme and has an ability to think and work independently. You will be able to shape your project to a significant extent.
Application Deadline: 2023-08-01
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Per- and polyfluorinated substances, commonly referred to as PFAS, is a group of highly stable compounds which can be widely distributed in the environment. PFAS are present in a wide range of products and when these products reach their end-of-life, the PFAS substances will end up in our household waste, and subsequently in the waste incineration process. However, the fate of PFAS in the incineration process is unknown, and will therefore be explored in this project. You will study the fate and degradation of PFAS in the waste incineration process, and what potential byproducts are formed.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking one PhD student to work in formal language theory, focusing on applying theoretical computer science to the analysis of the transformer neural network architecture. This project analyses the limits of representability and learnability in transformers, the popular neural network architecture used by many state-of-the-art systems, for example, large language models like ChatGPT and the AI Sweden/ RISE/ WARA M&L GTP-SW3 model. Transformers are known to be limited, allowing them to be formally analyzed in a principled way. This project leverages recent results, which characterize transformers in terms of Boolean circuits and/or logical descriptions, and aims to apply algebraic decompositions to understand and modify transformer models.
