We will recruit one doctoral student in statistics and machine learning to work under the supervision of Rebecka Jörnsten (https://rjornsten.github.io/) in the project “Investigating deep learning through the lens of adaptive kernels” funded by the Swedish Research Council. There is no denying that deep neural networks have had a profound impact on research across statistics, data science and machine learning, as well as significantly altered the analytical landscape in many application areas. While previous research efforts were focused on the then surprisingly excellent performance of deep neural networks, the field is now shifting toward trying to explain this performance through connections to classical statistical methodologies, specifically through kernel learning, where models are generated via first principles by borrowing predictive strength across similar sets of observations.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Social Science with focus on farmers as geopolitical actors
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project will explore the role(s) of farmers as geopolitical actors. Its overarching focus will be how farmers perceive and navigate their role in a changing geopolitical environment and coincident sustainability transformations. In many countries, Russia’s war against Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, and tensions around global trade have generated calls for increasing national self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, the climate and biodiversity crises create compounding challenges for agricultural livelihoods and food systems. Farmers must navigate these multiple challenges, developing farming practices and organizing strategically in response to them.

21. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science -Aggressive B-cell lymphona
Summary of PhD Program:
Despite advances in both treatment and genetic classification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), between 30 to 40% still die from the disease. DLBCL is a heterogeneous disease where both the malignant clone and the tumor microenvironment contribute to the variable clinical picture. However, the complexity can probably not only be explained by genetic changes and it can also be difficult to predict whether such changes really affect protein expression and thus the properties of the tumor cell.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science – Ultra-processed foods: biomarkers of exposure and potential health consequences
Summary of PhD Program:
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have undergone extensive industrial processing. While high consumption of UPF is associated with obesity and non-communicable disease, there is no established causal relationship between the degree of food processing, independent of nutrient profile, and health outcomes. The overall aim of this PhD project is to study the causal effects of a high UPF diet, compared to a nutrient-matched low UPF diet, on appetite and cardiometabolic health. In addition, biomarkers to assess UPF exposure will be identified.

Summary of PhD Program:
PhD Project 1 aims to develop advanced statistical methods based on kinetic theory, utilizing both numerical and analytical approaches, to study charge and heat transport in electron and electron-phonon gases. The project will focus on hydrodynamic transport–a recently observed mode of transport driven by dominant interactions–in both solid-state systems and atomic quantum gases.
PhD Project 2 aims to explore the theoretical foundations of band structure engineering through moiré superpotentials in solid-state systems, and to describe the interplay with the phase diagram and the quantum geometry. This project is part of a jointly funded collaboration with experimentalists and will proceed in close connection with local experimental groups studying graphene and high-temperature superconductivity.
