9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Microstructural and Fracture Characterization of Welded Green Steels

Summary of PhD Program:

Future green steels will be manufactured using an increased amount of scrap, likely of lower quality and containing higher concentrations of residual elements.

The project aims to understand the regulation of the lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides and to establish this yeast as model for eukaryotic lipid metabolism- with consequences for biotechnology and treatment of diseases connected to disturbed lipid metabolism. The successful candidate will investigate genomes, transcriptomes and proteomes of high- and low lipid producing strains of R. toruloides. Results will be combined to reconstruct pathways of lipid synthesis and its regulation. The function of some of the identified genes and pathways will be tested by gene deletion/ overexpression in accordingly engineered strains.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sustainable Feed for Poultry and Pigs

Summary of PhD Program:

In Swedish poultry and pig production, feed accounts for the majority of both the production costs and the global warming potential. The animals’ feed conversion ratio and the choice of feed ingredients thus have a significant impact on the production’s climate impact. In addition to the climate impact, contributions to biodiversity, circularity, competition between feed and food, and self-sufficiency are important sustainability parameters. Future animal production needs feed that can meet these upcoming challenges without losing profitability and competitiveness. Possible strategies could include a higher proportion of feed ingredients produced from side streams and materials unsuitable for human consumption.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Plant Physiology

Summary of PhD Program:

A PhD position is available at the University of Bern (Switzerland). The research project aims at determining the role of organic nitrogen (N) for plant performance.

It remains however unclear how much the direct uptake of organic nitrogen contributes to plant nitrogen needs. Our research contributes to increase knowledge on the uptake and reallocation of organic N in plants by exploring Arabidopsis accessions with altered regulation of organic N utilisation.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dynamic Disease Maps and Digital Twins for novel treatments of OA

Summary of PhD Program:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease in which multiple tissues in the joint are affected. Recently, multiple OA risk genes were identified based on small genetic variations (SNPs) in the regulatory sequences of these genes. These variations can lead to unfavorable expression of these genes contributing to disease progression. OA patients have different unique combinations of SNPs that lead to OA onset and progression. In this project we will uncover the integrated effects of deviant OA risk gene expression in cartilage with the aim to develop effective disease-modifying therapies. As a PhD student, you will play a central role in this process by building an in silico disease map that models these effects and enables more precise treatments.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in development of sustainability tools for infrastructure projects

Summary of PhD Program:

Climate action infrastructure projects (comprising mitigation and adaptation objectives) to achieve the Paris agreement have a wide range of synergies and trade-offs with the Sustainable Development Goals. However, stakeholders have limited access to the knowledge for mitigating those impacts, including on the impacts of relevant climate risks. This myopic approach means that siloed-planned climate action may cause a variety of detrimental tradeoffs, from social unrest or inequality to other environmental and economic issues. In response, KTH researchers have developed leading tools to assess the sustainability of infrastructure projects using detailed analysis of interlinkages between the characteristics of various types of energy and infrastructure projects and all social, economic and environmental targets of the SDGs.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position

Summary of PhD Program:

Conventional accounts of European integration have often insisted on the novelty of the supranational law developed in that context, asserting its ‘sui generis’ character and highlighting its differences with earlier forms of international and regional integration.

This was the case within the League of Nations and its broader context, which included international(ized) institutions both in Europe and in (semi-)colonial settings. The research group explores the continuities and discontinuities between the law of these interwar institutions and the law developed within the context of European integration.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Data-driven and genome-edited breeding of locally adapted wheat varieties to increase agricultural biodiversity, sustainable climate resilience and resource efficiency

Summary of PhD Program:

The changing climate also poses new challenges for wheat breeding and thus for securing our food supply. The high-yielding elite varieties must therefore be adapted to new weather conditions and pathogens as quickly as possible. Big data-based approaches can help to screen the available genetic diversity and identify useful alleles to safeguard our bread wheat against future hazards. However, these advantageous alleles, which often originate from old varieties with low yields, must then be introduced into the elite cultivars. This takes a very long time with classic crossing. The new genome editing techniques, on the other hand, open up the possibility of achieving this much more quickly.
