1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science
Summary of PhD Program:
We will investigate the way institutions emerge and are maintained and how they influence the collective decisions under societal threats such as climate change. We will study this phenomenon from a sociological, psychological and social simulation perspective. The aim of this position is to develop an agent-based social simulation based on a solid theoretical foundation of social concepts to study institutional developments from a psychological perspective. The theoretical foundations will be based on existing work from our group, but will link to social psychological theories and social theories. We will link social simulations with large-scale on-line social psychological experiments and social media analysis.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral studies are aimed at a doctoral degree where the main task is carrying out research to unravel the molecular basis of how pathogens function to subvert their host cells. You will use a variety of recombinant protein expression systems to produce components of the viral machinery. You will use biochemical methods to purify and assemble complexes, and dissect these functionally. You will make use of national and international infrastructures that allow advanced methods of sample characterization.
You will be provided opportunities to learn operation of cryogenic electron microscopes, 3D structure refinement, and model refinement. At Umeå University you will be embedded in a supportive, vibrant, and diverse research environment with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for the analysis of macromolecular complexes. You will receive guidance for a successful PhD from multiple co-supervisors that are experts in their respective fields.
Application Deadline: 2023-09-08

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science
Summary of PhD Program:
Our societies rely on computer systems and on software stacks. Unfortunately, software systems contain bugs and vulnerabilities which can be exploited by malicious actors. This project will be conducted in the Software Engineering and Security (SES) group. The student will conduct an in-depth investigation of a class of vulnerabilities and devise static and/or dynamic approaches to detect them in the code or prevent their execution at runtime.
Application Deadline: 2023-08-31
4. 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. Novel drug candidates will be further developed in collaboration with CBCS in Umeå. The project is supervised by associate professor Oskar Hemmingsson and senior science engineer Ola Billing.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science
Summary of PhD Program:
Our societies rely on computer systems, and increasingly so. Unfortunately, computer systems can be the target of malicious applications—malware. These malicious applications can be complicated pieces of software developed by well organized criminal gangs or by government agencies to attack anything from private computers and smart phones to critical national infrastructures. There has been an increased interest in adapting and developing the latest machine learning methods for the purpose of malware detection, and preliminary results are encouraging. The specific goals of this project include to develop novel machine learning methods to improve malware detection.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in medical science
Summary of PhD Program:
Viruses that infect our respiratory tract are a leading cause of severe illness, mortality, and burden on the healthcare system. There is a lack of effective drugs against these infections due to rapid resistance development and few functions that drugs can target. Our research focus is to obtain new insights into mechanisms that influence the pathogenesis of respiratory viruses and identify new targets that enable development of broad-spectrum treatment for diseases caused by these viruses. We also strive to identify factors that explain why people are differently susceptible to viral infections, with the goal to enable personalized treatments for sensitive individuals.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Creative Studies
Summary of PhD Program:
To be admitted to studies at the third-cycle level, the applicant must meet both general and specific eligibility requirements. General requirements: a Master’s or equivalent degree in a relevant field, having completed course requirements worth at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits must be at second-cycle level, or in some other way – either in Sweden or abroad – having acquired equivalent knowledge.
Application Deadline: 2023-08-14
10. 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).

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in environmental science
Summary of PhD Program:
The ongoing green transition to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and mitigate climate change has resulted in increased pressure on land and natural resources in northern Sweden. In a new geopolitical environment, the goal is to ensure the availability of clean energy and important natural resources. The results are enormous environmental, societal, and economic consequences, challenging the overall goals of sustainable development. Although Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are carried out before decisions are made, significant challenges remain if the overall societal needs for energy and resources are to be balanced against the cultural, economic, and social needs and rights of local and indigenous communities.
