10. Fully Funded PhD Position in psychology
Summary of PhD Program:
The project investigates the cognitive processes that people use to make decisions and make judgments, with application to economic situations and contexts. A problem of particular interest is how different ways of presenting the same information can lead to systematically different judgments of outcomes, and how intuitive and analytical thought processes can invite and counteract such effects. The research is based on current theories in cognitive science and behavioral economics in the broadest sense. The project is linked to the national Research School in Management and Information Technology.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cancer Precision Medicine
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a doctoral student with a special interest in the area of cancer precision medicine with a focus on hematological tumors and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. The candidate will devote most of the time towards his/her research level education. Within this research level education the candidate will mainly focus on studies on epigenetic mechanism and the impact of these for tumor transformation and progression of the tumor clone in two hematopoietic tumors, multiple myeloma and acute leukemia in infants. Mapping of tumor specific genes regulated by modifications on DNA and histons will be identified, validated and functionally tested in patient material as well as in cell lines.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemistry with specialization Organic Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Over 50% of human proteins are considered ‘undruggable’ by classical small molecules. Of particular importance are intracellular proteins lacking classical binding pockets. Selective, high-affinity binding to the flat surface of such proteins requires larger molecules. Macrocycles appear particular suited for targeting intracellular proteins. It is, however, challenging to develop large macrocycles that simultaneous bind to their targets whilst also showing membrane permeability and sufficient aqueous solubility. Our central goal is to gain understanding of the structure-property relationships of macrocyclic drugs in order to develop the principles necessary for the successful design of new macrocyclic drugs able to treat so far untreatable diseases.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in psychology
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD student will work with research on the psychology of cybersecurity, primarily by empirically studying cyber-risk judgments. Risk and uncertainty are important factors in cybersecurity; one will never be able to create entirely secure systems because new threats arise at the same rate that new security solutions are developed. By examining the psychological factors that affect cyber-risk judgments we can find ways to facilitate behaviors that minimize risk as much as possible while also maintaining a reasonable balance between risk and benefit.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in cancer immunology and immunotherapy
Summary of PhD Program:
A PhD student position is open for a highly motivated candidate interested in cancer immunology and immunotherapy in the research group of Gustav Ullenhag, Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University. The PhD position will be part of the National ATMP (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product) research school. The PhD project will be performed in close collaboration with the research group of Angelica Loskog. These two research groups have a shared interest in the development of cancer immunotherapies based on immunomodulatory adenoviral vectors. These adenoviral vectors usually carry immunomodulatory transgenes to induce anti-tumoral immune responses and may also have the ability of selective lysis of tumor cells, so called oncolysis.
