Uppsala University, Sweden invites online application for multiple fully funded PhD positions in various research areas. Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Our research program in Chemical and Bio-Molecular Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala University focuses on understanding the fundamental properties and ultrafast processes of matter at the atomic length and time scales of \u00c5ngstr\u00f6ms and femtoseconds. We have a leading position in the use of X-rays for probing atoms, molecules and chemical and biomolecular systems. We develop and apply novel X-ray methods and instrumentation and aim at revealing how the properties of a system result from its electronic structure and dynamics with applications in environmental, biophysical and chemical systems.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The electrification of the transport sector is vital for a successful transition to a fossil-free society. A lack of capacity in the electric grid threatens to slow down the shift towards a more sustainable energy system. The project aims to study how increased demand flexibility through smart charging can benefit the different actors involved. Moreover, it aims to investigate technical possibilities and challenges with smart charging by means of tests and analyses in real environment. The research team at Uppsala university will work in tight collaboration with the industrial partners of this project, including Volvo Cars and CEVT.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Follow FellowshipBard for daily updates! <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Twitter<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Linkedin<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n PhD students with employment in our department are normally expected to teach and participate in general departmental work, such as instrument maintenance, to a level corresponding to a maximum of 20% of the employment time.

The main aims of this PhD position are to study the roles of genetic transfers in the integration of an endosymbiont into an organelle. For this we will study the lineage Paulinella\u2013a lineage of amoebae (unicellular eukaryotes) that established primary plastids relatively recently. While most of the research on Paulinella has been done on the photosynthetic species, i.e. the species that diverged after the establishment of plastids, we will instead look at the heterotrophic species that diverged close but before plastid establishment to test the hypothesis that gene transfers facilitating the endosymbiotic integration occurred before the establishment of the plastids from varying food sources.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Burki lab was recently awarded an ERC Consolidator grant (PlastidOrigin) that aims to study one of the most transformative events in eukaryote evolution\u2013the origin of the photosynthetic organelles (the primary plastids). The main aim of this PhD position is to characterize novel environmental diversity that diverged near the origin of Archaeplastida\u2013the supergroup of eukaryotes where plastids were established more than 1.5 billion years ago. We aim to identify and phylogenetically resolve microbial lineages that have never been seen before in order to produce a comprehensive evolutionary framework for the origin of plastids that include this crucial environmental diversity. A suite of methods will be employed, including long-read metabarcoding, single-cell transcriptomics, metagenomics, phylogenomics, cultivation, microscopy.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The research project is part of an EU funded network (PhotoSynH2), which aims at developing novel methods for the production of green H2 as a solar fuel. The hydrogenase enzymes are key components in any such technology, as these are central to H2 metabolism and catalyze the formation and oxidation of H2 gas. To realize their biotechnological potential, we need highly efficient hydrogenase enzymes that are well integrated into the metabolic pathways of technologically relevant host organisms. The project will address this challenge via characterization of novel examples of this diverse enzyme family, followed by their optimization via rationale design to ensure stable and high H2 productivity in photobioreactors.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The research assigned to the PhD position has a focus on developing machine learning (ML) modules to process tactile and tremor signals generated by neuromorphic electronic skin (ne-skin). The ne-skin converts analog tactile signals into electrical pulses, thus encoding the mechanical signals in spike timing. The task of the position consists of generating signals relevant to tremor, developing ML algorithms based on spiking neural networks (SNN) for processing the data streams to extract useful features from the data streams, developing techniques for supervised and unsupervised learning, and studying network dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In this project, which is part of the national competence center SOLVE, you will work with developing mathematical, statistical and machine learning methods to optimize the use of solar power in combination with, e.g., battery storage, charging of electric vehicles, heat pump systems and ancillary services to the electricity grid. In addition to this, you will develop and apply methods for optimal location and sizing of solar parks, given boundary conditions such as alternative land use and the hosting capacity of the electricity distribution network. The project includes case studies of solar utilization planning together with a number of Swedish municipalities and distribution system operators that are partners in SOLVE.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The research group in epidemiology and infection biology investigates the symbiotic relationship between bacteria and the human host – both how the microbiota is affected by the host and how the host in turn is affected. We focus on women at different stages of life, especially during and after pregnancy. In the project, fecal samples collected during and shortly after delivery will be used to predict somatic and psychological pregnancy complications. The studies are based on a combination of DNA sequencing, bioinformatic analyses and machine learning. The PhD project will form a transdisciplinary collaboration between microbiome researchers, biostatistics\/bioinformatics and clinical experts from different institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The goal of this project is to develop a structure-preserving low-rank tensor discretization for high-dimensional partial differential equations modeling fusion processes. The mathematical model that we mainly consider in this project is the Vlasov-Maxwell system. The specific goal of the project is the construction, analysis, and implementation of numerical approximations of the Vlasov-Maxwell system that preserve the basic physical properties such as the positivity of the plasma distribution function. The project will be carried out in cooperation with the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the candidate is expected to visit Bochum several times during the course of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are seeking a Ph.D. student interested in combining the power of experimental evolution using Caenorhabditis elegans with genetic and high-throughput genomic approaches to investigate fundamental questions in evolution. Our research program is diverse and includes multiple ongoing projects investigating (but not restricted to) (i) the fitness effects and evolutionary dynamics of spontaneous mutations, especially copy-number variants, (ii) the fitness consequences of selfish mitochondria and the genetic basis of mitonuclear adaptation, (iii) genomic conflict and compensatory evolution, and (iv) the genetic basis of adaptation following fitness decline and recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n1.
