2. Fully Funded PhD Position in electromobility: Electric motor design
Summary of PhD Program:
The rapid technological development in electric motor design means that the insulation is exposed to greater stress through higher voltage levels, new fast-switching power electronics as well as new cooling methods. The goal of this PhD project is to develop a method to estimate the lifetime of the insulation in electric motors for applications in electromobility. The aim is to avoid over-dimensioning the insulation and at the same time minimize the risk of failure. The project will consist of analytical calculations, FEM simulations and design and analysis of experiments. The project will be multidisciplinary as consideration needs to be given to many different aspects such as electrical, mechanical and thermal.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Neurology
Summary of PhD Program:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that affects one thousand individuals in Sweden every year and is one of the most common causes leading to disability in people of working age. MS is an autoimmune disease where the immune system is attacking the brain and spinal cord. Autologous blood stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for MS. The aim of this treatment is to ablate the immune system with cytotoxic agents and then build up a new and hopefully healthy immune system with the aid of hematopoietic stem cells. Our research group has been active in the field for more than 15 years and is today one of the world leaders in the field. We have close collaboration with expertise from other departments at Uppsala University, including the Department of immunology, genetics and pathology, the Department of pharmaceutical biosciences and the Department of surgical sciences, but also other universities such as Karolinska Institutet and The Sahlgrenska Academy.

Molecular markers of the early interzone formation are associated with congenital and age- related joint diseases.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
The Ion Physics group within the Department of Physics and Astronomy investigates advanced materials for applications in fusion energy, smart windows, hydrogen storage & nanoelectronics. The group employs beams of swift ions as analytical technique for detailed material characterization in addition to fundamental investigations of the interaction of ions in matter. These methods permit to determine concentrations and depth profiles of atoms and molecules in a material with very high accuracy for samples from biological, environmental and technological contexts. The correlation between the composition and other sample properties can then be used to improve material performance or to obtain new properties. A 5 MV tandem accelerator, a 350 kV high current ion implanter and a Low-Energy Ion Scattering System form the experimental platform.
