1. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. Genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease have been identified both in large GWAS studies and in studies of families with a strong hereditary predisposition for the disease. The aim of this project is to contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms through which various genetic variants influence the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The doctoral student will conduct research under the supervision of Associate Professor Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren, Professor Oskar Hansson, and Assistant Associate Professor Jacob Vogel.
Application Deadline: 26.Nov.2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
Our research group has pioneered breast mechanical imaging (MI), a method for measuring the distribution of stress (reactive pressure) on the compressed breast surface during mammography – breast x-ray imaging. For a new modality such as MI, it is vital that the method is comprehensively tested through both computer simulations and clinical trials. However, the tools needed to do the latter have not yet been developed. Together with collaborators from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, this project is aimed at doing precisely that.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of the PhD project is to investigate the causes of variation in immune function between and within species, using wild rodents as a study system. The topic will be addressed from both functional and evolutionary perspectives. Thus, the overall aim of the project is to understand in what way different species, and different individuals of a given species, differ in immune responses to pathogens, and how these differences have evolved.
Application Deadline: 24.Nov.2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to use an integrative approach, combining computer simulations with X-ray and neutron scattering, to study intrinsically disordered proteins in solution and their interaction with the vesicles mimicking the cell membrane. For this purpose, a combined experimental and theoretical approach will be used, where the former corresponds to small angle scattering and neutron reflectometry and the latter to atomistic molecular dynamics and coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulations. The project also includes programming new analysis routines and developing coarse-grained and atomistic models. Moreover, you will attend beamtimes international conferences, participate in periodic project meetings and training schools, and take specialised courses at different universities to complement your knowledge. A certain amount of travelling is foreseen concerning these activities.
Application Deadline: 22.Nov.2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral student will be admitted to doctoral studies in technology and society, specialised in critical raw materials. The climate transition of energy systems increases demand for low carbon technologies and the materials embedded in those technologies. Some of those materials are perceived as critical. In recent years, interest among researchers and policymakers is increasing to better understand the dynamics of which materials are indeed critical for low carbon transitions and why. Methods currently used for assessing criticality do not sufficiently capture the rapid technological change that impacts material demand. For example, battery chemistries are changing. The aim with the doctoral project is to develop methods that improve the understanding of how technological development can impact which materials that are, or could become, critical.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The project focuses on studying RNA editing as novel biomarker in prostate cancer tumour progression. The aim is to determine if RNA editing enzymes or epitranscriptomics can be used diagnostically and therapeutically. The work encompasses in vitro experimental work as well as data analyses. The student will collaborate with other researchers and clinicians and must therefore have excellent communication skills and thrive in a collaborative setting.
Application Deadline: 19.Nov.2023

Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of the project is to develop new concepts for processing and treating advanced alloys using microfabrication techniques. Particular focus will be placed on research regarding advanced steels that hold potential in upcoming green technologies for materials production and energy storage, such as steel production with hydrogen and the handling of molten salts, which involve extremely demanding environments from a corrosion perspective.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The project will focus on theoretical research within quantum technology, meaning technology that takes advantage of the unique properties of quantum systems, such as superpositions and entanglement, to enhance performance or enable new functionality beyond the reach of classical physics. Specifically, we will in this project use different analytical and numerical methods to study quantum dots and other nanostructures coupled to photons in microwave cavities. The coupling to microwave photons can, for example, be used to couple and entangle spatially separated electronic or spin states, which is useful for sending quantum information between different qubits in a quantum computer. There are also applications within quantum sensing, where superpositions and entanglement are used to boost measurement precision.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
How do migratory birds perform their migration? Are there physiological, behavioral or environmental limitations to how birds can manage their migration? During the last decade, tracking studies have yielded important new knowledge about spatial and temporal patterns of bird migration. But previous studies that investigated patterns of bird migration have been limited by loggers that could only collect spatiotemporal data at rather poor resolution (roughly telling us when birds are where). Now, new tracking technology developed at Lund University also allow recording of detailed behavior of free-flying birds throughout their entire migratory journeys.
