1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Pharmaceutics
Summary of PhD Program:
There are several advantages to oral drug administration compared to the alternatives. Patients can manage their own medication, do not need assistance from healthcare professionals, and avoid various types of injections. Drugs in the form of therapeutic peptides also have advantages over traditional low-molecular-weight substances, and increasing their uptake when administered orally is desirable.
However, in the body, there are numerous barriers of various kinds that have evolved to prevent the intrusion of foreign substances, which is a problem from a drug delivery perspective. One strategy that can be used is to add an additional molecule to the formulation, which enables the drug peptide to bypass some of these barriers. This strategy works in principle but is hindered by a lack of knowledge about which properties a molecule used for this purpose should have to optimally contribute to increased absorption.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Pharmaceutics
Summary of PhD Program:
The purpose of the doctoral project is to develop new molecules that can be used for more effective uptake of orally administered drugs, particularly therapeutic peptides. This will be achieved by using various types of cell profiling methods to examine how cells react in different ways to these so-called permeability enhancers and how permeability is affected by this. The data generated will be used in combination with artificial intelligence methods for molecular design in a related project to generate new molecules with tailored properties for increased absorption of therapeutic peptides.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evolutionary Genomics
Summary of PhD Program:
Global estimates suggest that less than 5% of the true fungal diversity is currently described, largely because the majority of the up to 5 million fungal species on earth have no visible fruiting structures and cannot easily be cultured using established methods. Because the hidden majority of species defy established protocols for species recognition, we cannot effectively communicate about the majority of fungal species, many of which are frequently and abundantly detected in environmental samples. The proposed project uses species hypotheses built on environmental DNA (eDNA) data for targeted high-resolution microscopy and single cell genomics to infer evolutionary history and life cycle dynamics of hitherto undescribed fungal species and lineages.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Field of Diagnostics and Therapy for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Summary of PhD Program:
The overall goal of the doctoral project is to identify and study proteins whose expression or distribution is altered in neurodegeneration and then generate brain-penetrating antibodies that bind to these proteins. These antibodies will then be used to develop new diagnostics, such as PET and SPECT radioligands, or for therapeutic applications to investigate whether the antibodies affect pathology in models of neurodegenerative diseases. The work thus involves both in vitro work, primarily immunological and histological methods, and in vivo studies in models of neurodegenerative diseases.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in neuroscience
Summary of PhD Program:
The position is based on laboratory work with human participants, and involves both psychophysiological assessments, PET, fMRI and TMS as well as work with recruitment and scheduling. Furthermore, compilation and analysis of data in several different modalities are part of the daily work. In addition to this, usual doctoral duties including courses etc.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Photopharmacology
Summary of PhD Program:
The student will synthesize and investigate bioactive molecules that bear a photoresponsive moiety as part of their structure. The student will focus on the synthesis and investigation of fully biocompatible compounds and their application in vitro and in cellulo. The student will employ organic synthesis to obtain the target compounds, characterize their interaction with light using (in operando) UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopy with LED-optical fiber-coupled setups, and test their biological activity in suitable assays. The structural design of the core structures will be complemented with computational analysis and prediction.
Application Deadline: 2024-06-24
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Solid State Physics, with focus on Optical materials and Nanophotonics
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to develop principles for manipulating nanostructures with light. Two parallel tracks with a direct connection to each other must be examined. 1) A completely new type of technology for computer and mobile phone screens is to be developed. In the project, dynamically tunable metamaterials for passive display technology in so-called E-papers are studied. By using electrochromic materials with color memory capacity as the base material, its power consumption will be only <1% of current LED display technology, allowing it to be fully powered by solar cells, as in a regular calculator. 2) The project will also explore intelligent materials using similar nano-fabrication techniques and light manipulation.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Materials Chemistry at the Program for Inorganic Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project involves research on new types of surface coatings for demanding environments, including nuclear fuel rods for use in nuclear power plants. The work is part of a larger research program with Uppsala University, Linköping University, and Chalmers University of Technology. Collaborations with other doctoral students and senior researchers are an important part of the research. The materials will mainly be produced using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The research project will involve fundamental materials science studies of thin films produced with CVD, as well as application-oriented studies in collaboration with industry partners.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in sustainable aqueous batteries
Summary of PhD Program:
The focus of research is on modern commercial and next- generation Li-ion batteries, and future battery chemistries such as Na-ion, Li-S,
organic electrodes, solid- state, etc. The expertise lies in synthesis of electrode and electrolyte materials and electrochemical testing, but equally important are the development and application of operando characterization, such as vibrational spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffraction, etc. and combinations of them.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evolutionary Genomics – Diversity and evolution on lichen-associated basidiomycetes
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a PhD student who will study the diversity and genome evolution of lichen-associated basidiomycete yeasts in common lichens, and their interactions with other organisms in the thalli. The diversity of lichen-associated basidiomycetes will be studied by long-read metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing. In addition, cell-sorting and single cell genomics will be employed to generate genomic data of selected basidiomycete taxa from lichen thalli. The data will be used to build a genomic framework for lichen-associated basidiomycetes, and to assess their genomic features for signatures of the symbiotic lifestyle and their functional potential. Furthermore, the organismal landscape and interactions within lichen thalli will be studied with state-of-the-art advanced microscopy methods.

Summary of PhD Program:
The objective of the PhD project is to develop computational approaches to identify small molecule and peptide ligands that target therapeutically relevant receptors, with the vision to accelerate the drug discovery process. The project will be focused on addressing several challenges in structure-based drug design using artificial intelligence. Recently developed techniques for the prediction of the three-dimensional structures of proteins and protein-ligand complexes will be optimized for drug discovery applications. These methods will be applied to identify ligands of G protein-coupled receptors, a large family of membrane proteins involved in numerous physiological processes.
