18. 03 PhD Programs in Philosophy
Summary of PhD Positions:
The school is a cooperation between the departments of philosophy at the universities in Uppsala, Gothenburg and Stockholm. The aim of the school is to provide a cutting-edge education to students who seek a fully funded PhD degree in philosophy by pooling the supervision and other resources at the collaborating departments. Each of the departments will hire PhD-students who will (also) be connected to the research school. Norms are ubiquitous both in our individual lives and when we act collectively, and the norms we accept shape our behavior and thus also society as a whole. The norms that will be addressed include moral and ethical norms but also norms of practical rationality, epistemic norms that pertain to theoretical reasoning, aesthetic norms, and norms of interpretation, to mention a few.

20. PhD Programs in energy efficiency of buildings with a focus on life cycle optimization
Summary of PhD Positions:
The building sector accounts for almost 34% of total energy use and 20% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Sweden. Therefore, to achieve the long-term target of net-zero GHG emissions in Sweden by 2045, it is necessary to realize buildings with net-zero energy use (or GHG emissions) from a life cycle perspective. Besides passive energy-efficiency measures (e.g. building materials, building shape, and energy-efficient windows), active and renewable energy efficiency measures (e.g. solar panels, and wind turbines) play a key role in the design of such buildings due to their potential to offset the surplus energy use in a building’s life cycle.

21. PhD Programs in Automatic Control
Summary of PhD Positions:
In this project, we seek to design closed-loop control schemes that can be deployed in devices with low computation and battery capabilities. The closed-loop schemes should leverage the system dynamics and leverage recent developments in model predictive control that enable the satisfaction of medical safety constraints by design. Additionally, the nature of the research is highly interdisciplinary as we seek to transition the methodologies to practice. Therefore, the prospective Ph.D. student will interact with researchers from different fields (i.e., control theory, machine learning, neuroscience, and medicine).
