1. 03 Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
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 Computing Science
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. A crucial part of this will be the systems’ ability to cope with misunderstandings, ambiguity, and errors in perception of the environment around them, in reasoning about a given situation, and in particular also in interaction with human users.

3. 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
4. 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 research environment of the Department of Chemistry and work with various analytical platforms of the Chemical and Biological Center.
Application Deadline: 2023-11-30
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science orientation Molecular Biology
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
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
Umeå University is one of Sweden’s largest higher education institutions with over 37,000 students and about 4,700 employees. The University offers a diversity of high-quality education and world-leading research in several fields. Notably, the groundbreaking discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was made here. At Umeå University, everything is close. Our cohesive campuses make it easy to meet, work together and exchange knowledge, which promotes a dynamic and open culture.
