1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biology with a focus on AI & Microbial Forensics
Summary of PhD Program:
Biology is the broad subject of all living things. It encompasses everything from processes at the molecular and cellular levels to global processes at the ecosystem level. The subject is divided into a range of sub-disciplines and specializations. The PhD program at the Department of Biology includes many of these specializations, from molecular biology to applied ecology, from viruses and individual cells to evolutionary biology and global biodiversity. Taking on research studies at the Department of Biology generally means focusing on a delimited part of the research area of biology and may include field studies, experiments, theoretical studies, or a combination of these.
Application Deadline: 12.Oct.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science with a focus on software engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The project focus is driven by industrial needs around continuous software engineering in cyber-physical systems, i.e., systems with both software and hardware, e.g., automotive and internet-of-things systems. These systems may further include a mix of AI-enabled software components (behavior is based on training on data) and rule-based software components (behavior is defined by software code).

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of the PhD project is to provide the first thorough investigation of how biological compasses, that guide insects in their movements across the globe, are adapted to different visual environments, with a focus on neuronal adaptations. Fundamental differences between different types of environments include light levels, amount of direct sun light and type of terrain. The outcome of this project will allows us to develop optimized models of visual orientation mechanisms for different visual habitats. Such models can used to inspire effective guidance strategies for autonomous robots navigating through natural environments.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical computer science and/or combinatorial optimization
Summary of PhD Program:
The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, Gröbner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint programming.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The main aim of this project is to identify synthetic counterparts for bio-materials and investigate how we can implement their properties to achieve, e.g., synthetic platelets and synthetic red blood cells (RBCs). These colloids will be used to generate a prototype of synthetic blood. Furthermore, the general understanding of the role of particle deformation on the flow properties of concentrated solutions, will help the understanding of blood diseases connected to the deformation of RBCs and the changes in the blood rheology (sickle cell disease), or to the changes in the blood viscosity due to an excess of RBCs (polycythemia). In general, we will develop protocols able to identify the basic properties on a nanoscopic-scale that synthetic colloids must have to achieve the aimed flow behavior at macroscopic length-scales.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biology with the focus on Soil Microbial Ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
Soils contain large amounts of organic matter, despite the presence of an immense and starved decomposer community. This PhD project aims to increase our understanding of this seemingly paradoxical accumulation of organic compounds in soils, focusing on the part of soil organic matter deriving from dead microbes (“necromass”). We want to investigate the quality and persistence of microbial necromass, depending on the microbes’ death circumstances. To study microbial necromass dynamics we will use transparent, microfluidic soil models, developed in our lab, that allow us to employ microspatial structures as experimental factors and give us high control over experimental conditions.
