We are looking for a postdoc to join our yeast evolution and genomics lab at Stockholm University, Sweden. The position (100 % research) is for two years with the possibility for extension. Applicants will have a strong interest in evolutionary processes, especially in mechanisms of adaptation, and be familiar with the principles of quantitative and population genetics. Members of our lab are currently working on a range of topics including the effects of hybridization on rates and mechanisms of adaptation, the genetic basis of adaptation to environmental stress, epistasis, fitness landscapes, speciation mechanisms, and comparative genomics.
We use both experimental and theoretical approaches. The project the applicant will work on is flexible and depends on personal preferences and ideas. The applicant is encouraged to develop a project that harnesses the power of experimental evolution, genomics, and the model system Saccharomyces, to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology.
Application Deadline: 23 October 2022

3. Postdoctoral Position in Cell Biology of Infection
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with an interest in immune cell regulation and host-microbe interactions. Our lab works with Toxoplasma gondii, an opportunistic pathogen in humans and animals, and also a model for understanding the biology of intracellular parasitism. The research aims to define the molecular mechanisms utilized by intracellular parasites, to manipulate the host´s immune system to their own advantage and thereby promote colonization and transmission of infection. Recent work from the lab has shown that Toxoplasma exploits cells of the immune system to disseminate. Shortly after parasite invasion, immune cells are transformed into hypermigratory `Trojan horses’ that mediate dissemination.

5. Postdoctoral Position in Gastronomic Landscapes
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
In the project, we are seeking to use the lens of gastronomy as an entry point for possible solutions to the challenges of the global food system, highlighting how culinary craftsmanship and innovation, from cooks in local communities to chefs of leading restaurants, have the potential to drive shifts towards sustainability. We are hiring a Postdoctoral fellow to focus on the role of gastronomy for biosphere stewardship in land- and seascapes. The research will focus on learning from case studies of links between landscape/seascape management and gastronomy. Diverse knowledge systems have developed techniques for getting both nutrition and cultural satisfaction from diverse land- and seascapes, in ways that are also embodied in local cuisines. The Postdoctoral fellow will also analyze the potential role of gastronomy in incentivizing changes in dietary patterns, from food with high to low environmental impact.

8. Postdoctoral Position in Digital Health and Patient Reported outcomes
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This project aims at using contextually appropriate digital health technologies to empower patients with chronic illnesses in low resource settings through provision of health education, improved communication with healthcare providers, and linkage to peers (“expert patients”). It will also explore the impact of this patient empowerment on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), and the feasibility of collecting PROMs using digital health or mHealth platforms. Activities will include design, development, and implementation of the digital health solutions; development and/or adaption and validation of PROMs, and evaluation of the digital health solution in terms of usability, acceptability, fidelity, and impact on PROMs. The research will be mixed methods and will employ principles of design science research and implementation science.

9. Postdoctoral Position in Instrumentation for Axion Experiments
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are advertising a postdoctor position to work with an extensive group of researchers at Stockholm University on the development of a novel axion dark matter detector prototype using wire metamaterials. Such wire metamaterial designs can dramatically improve the sensitivity of direct detection axion experiments in high-mass ranges (≳ 20 μeV). We are conducting a search for an independent and driven experimentalist that is capable of leading design and verification for this detector prototype. The work includes the design process oversight, simulation, fabrication, assembly, and testing.
The candidate will work with members of Dr. Jon Gudmundsson’s experimental group at the Stockholm University Physics Department as well as researchers specializing in fundamental axion theory development and the study of astrophysical axion signatures. The candidate will join the vibrant AxionDM research environment at Stockholm University (https://axiondm.fysik.su.se/).

10. Postdoctoral Position in experimental quantum technology
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Trapped Ion Quantum Technology group at Stockholm University invites applications for a postdoctoral position on our trapped Rydberg ion project. The successful applicant will design and build a cryogenic ion trapping experiment for realising a fast quantum processor with trapped Rydberg ions. The cryogenic environment will reduce decoherence due to black-body radiation. Trapped Rydberg ions are a new system for quantum computation. By laser pulses the ions’ outermost electron is excited to a high-lying Rydberg orbital. Such Rydberg ions are million times bigger than ions in the ground state, and due to their size obtain very peculiar properties. In particular, trapped ions can be entangled via a strong Rydberg interaction in less than a microsecond. This method supports fast entangling gates in large ions crystals, thus enabling a fast trapped ion quantum computer.
Application Deadline: 28 Oktober 2022

Application Deadline: 2 December 2022
16. Postdoctoral Position in Environmental Microbiology
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The position will be associated with the interdisciplinary project “Safe Water Reuse in a Changing Environment – Microbial Degradation of Contaminants in European Rivers”. Increasing water reuse is at the heart of Europe’s climate change adaptation strategy to counter water scarcity. Sustainable and safe reuse is hampered by a complex mixture of contaminants that reach recipient waters due to their incomplete elimination in sewage treatment plants. Very little is known about their fate in the environment and the self-purification capacities of natural systems. The project will combine molecular, chemical analytical and biogeochemical tools to generate and link knowledge on the interplay of microbial communities, carbon cycling and contaminant biodegradation in the aquatic environment – which is a crucial prerequisite for safe and sustainable reuse.
