5. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical computer science
Summary of PhD Program:
At the heart of computational complexity theory is the quest to understand the nature of efficient computation. What makes a problem computationally hard or easy? How can we show that every algorithm that solves a certain problem must necessarily consume a large amount of resources (such as time or memory, say)? The study of the potential and limits of efficient computation is about foundational, mathematical, research, but research results in computational complexity theory have had major impact in other areas of computer science and other scientific disciplines, and have given rise to some of the most important open problems in modern mathematics.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Celiac Disease and Diabetes
Summary of PhD Program:
The project involves evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of blood samples collected on filter paper compared to traditional blood collection tubes. The analyses will be conducted using multiplex ADAP methods to simultaneously detect autoantibodies against insulin, GAD65, ZnT8, IA-2, tTGA, and TPO. Additionally, the project will assess autoantibody affinity as a potential early biomarker for the progression from autoimmune activation to clinical disease.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electrical Engineering focusing on Information Theory and Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
The research area is within information theory and channel coding, applied to machine learning algorithms. By adding redundancy, error-correcting codes are used in communication systems to protect messages from disturbances that occur during transmission. In machine learning, on the other hand, error-correcting output codes (ECOCs) have been proposed to improve the performance of multiclass classifiers. The aim of this project, which is funded by the Swedish Research Council (“VR”), is to improve the reliability of machine learning algorithms by extending concepts from modern coding theory to classification and clustering.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Engineering Geology
Summary of PhD Program:
Deep geological conditions, including raw materials within the rock mass and formation fluids, remain less explored compared to shallow subsurface conditions. In Sweden there exists a network of deep boreholes, which have been drilled for e.g. geothermal, scientific and nuclear repository purposes. The deep boreholes are placed in different geological environments and most of the boreholes are core drilled; however, mud rotary drilling have been used for the deepest ones. Most of the boreholes have been drilled and tested over the past 20 years and are still accessible.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematical Statistics with a focus on Sonar Signal Processing
Summary of PhD Program:
Our marine environment is of exceptional importance to our society, yet it is often highly vulnerable. This applies both to the marine ecosystem and many forms of critical underwater infrastructure, such as gas pipelines and submarine cables. There is a growing interest and need to enhance our knowledge of and ability to monitor what happens beneath the water’s surface. To enable this, we need to develop scalable techniques to model how sound waves propagate underwater and how measured signals can be used to determine the location of reflective objects.
