Are you holding Master\u2019s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs \/ fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.<\/span><\/p>\n Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University\u2019s Online Application Portal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The position is aimed at achieving a doctoral degree and the doctoral student’s main task is to devote themselves to their doctoral education, which includes participation in the research project, the doctoral education program at the Faculty of Medicine, and seminar series, etc. at the institution. We are looking for a doctoral student to work in a project with a focus on older people\u2019s housing, quality of life and care needs within the framework of previously completed studies on sheltered housing (trygghetsboende) and nursing homes (SWENIS). Follow-up data is to be collected. To study this, both qualitative and quantitative methods will be used.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Aquatic ecosystems are fueled by terrestrial organic matter in the form of riparian plant litter and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) inputs. In the boreal region, intensive forest management with focus on coniferous monocultures is altering riparian plant species composition and productivity. In addition, the boreal region is already experiencing higher temperatures and altered patterns in precipitation and terrestrial runoff due to climate change. This inevitably leads to changes in quantity and quality of terrestrial organic matter input to streams.<\/span><\/p>\n As these changes are projected to continue, there is a need to understand how they will interact to influence the role of terrestrial organic matter in aquatic systems and, thus, the ecosystem functions that these systems provide. The aim of this project is therefore to study and quantify how the riparian plant community composition influences carbon uptake by microbes in streams and how this, in turn, may be influenced by the quantity and quality of DOC. This project will thereby advance our understanding of how land use and climate change impact the ecological functioning of boreal streams.<\/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 Employed as a doctoral student must primarily devote themselves to their own research training that is intended to result in a doctoral degree. The work includes both own research and participation in postgraduate courses. You will be part of the department’s research work where you work closely with researchers at the unit. The doctoral work for this appointment will focus on digitalization for the social benefit, but you are free to formulate the direction and research question yourself. Therefore, great importance will be given to the attached research plan. <\/span><\/p>\n The doctoral student is expected to complete studies of practice in organizations or businesses. The doctoral position is carried out as independent work within the field chosen together with a supervisor. To a certain extent, the employment may include some teaching or other institutional service (maximum 20%). In that case, the employment period is extended to a corresponding extent.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Those who are employed as a doctoral student shall primarily devote their time to doctoral studies, aimed to result in a doctoral degree. Work carried should consists of own research as well as participation in postgraduate courses (third-cycle studies). You will be part of the department’s research work where you work closely with researchers at the unit. The doctoral employment is carried out as an independent work within your own chosen field. Therefore, great importance is attached to the attached dissertation plan. Those appointed to doctoral position may also work, to a limited extent, with educational tasks and administration at the Unit of Economic history. However, duties of this kind may not comprise of more than 20 percent of full-time. If so, the period of employment will be extended from up to five years. Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In this project, an ageing population is seen as the process that creates not only challenges but also novel societal opportunities that need to be investigated scientifically. As the healthy life expectancy is increasing, entrepreneurship might be an option for productive life at older age. Senior entrepreneurs may thus not only become increasingly important for rural communities in terms of business activity and provision of amenities, but such entrepreneurs might also enjoy better life quality from being economically active at the later stages of their lives. Within the framework of this project the PhD student is expected to plan and conduct independent scientific research related to regional economic and demographic transformations and entrepreneurship across different stages of the working life.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Employment as PhD-student aims to reach a doctoral degree and is normally full-time employment for 4 years starting 2023-09-01 or when mutually agreed. Your salary is determined in accordance to a stipulated scale for PhD positions. If departmental duties (e.g., teaching) can be offered that will be a maximum of 20% and the position will be prolonged accordingly. As a PhD student you are expected to work independently with your PhD project as well as collaborate with the research group, participate in seminars and other department activities. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The project is focused on preparation graphene related materials optimized for application in supercapacitors. The project aims to prepare materials with high surface area using chemical modification of graphene and graphene oxide, introducing different defects and addition of nanoparticles. Important part of project is aimed on design of environmentally friendly water based dispersions based on graphene related materials for preparation of electrodes with high surface area. Dispersions and inks will be optimized for best performance in supercapacitors and for several electrode manufacturing methods including spray deposition and printing. The candidate will be engaged in synthesis of new materials and characterization of these materials using BET\/DFT surface area analysis, DSC, x-ray diffraction, Raman and IR spectroscopy etc. It is also planned to use synchrotron radiation facilities and neutron scattering methods. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The PhD student will carry out research in primarily representation theory, but also in number theory as part of a project supervised by Henrik Gustafsson. The main focus of the project is representations of p-adic groups where p is a prime number, and especially so-called Whittaker functions which describe these representations and frequently also appear in number theory. Surprisingly, these functions can in several cases be computed by partition functions of exactly solvable models from statistical mechanics described by paths in a two-dimensional lattice. The fact that the lattice model is solvable means that the partition function satisfies a so-called Yang\u2013Baxter equation related to a quantum group which we can use to derive identities for the original Whittaker function. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are the effects of climate change on the diversity of land birds? How many fur seals remain in Antarctica after breeding season? Do flies transmit the \u2018bee\u2019 parasite on flowers during defecation? Statistics is there to answer these big-scale and small-scale questions and to understand the world around us, each other and ourselves. When analyzing the relationships between a response and predictors, it might be natural to assume that some relationships obey certain shape constraints, such as monotonicity and convexity. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Knowing when full autonomy will fail and collaboration with others is needed to successfully execute a task, is a fundamental ability for humans to ensure efficiency, safety, and even survival. This ability is equally important for autonomous systems, such as robots or self-driving vehicles. Such systems operate in our public or private spaces. There, they will often be faced with ill-defined or ambiguous human requests, in particular if the human interaction partner is na\u00efve with respect to the system’s capabilities and inner workings. <\/span><\/p>\n The systems\u2019 success will depend as much on users’ trust and willingness to cooperate as it will on the systems’ technological and engineering capabilities. A crucial part of this will be the systems’ ability to cope with misunderstandings, ambiguity, and errors in perception of the environment around them, in reasoning about a given situation, and in interaction with human users. The aim of this project is to develop mechanisms that allow for automatically identifying such conflicts and to devise strategies that allow for resolving them. These strategies are then to be evaluated in human-subject studies. This project will make contributions to a successful, user-friendly interaction with autonomous systems and a satisfying, positive user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Solar energy is an important renewable energy resource that can be used for different thermal applications such as space and water heating in residential buildings. To integrate solar energy in district heating systems (DHSs) medium-high temperatures are needed that could be achieved with a concentrating solar thermal collector even in high latitude regions such as the Nordic countries. Such integration could contribute to decarbonizing our society by replacing biomass- and fossil-based energy resources in the Swedish DHS and to enhance energy security. The scope of this call for new PhD students is to use system approach to investigate the environmental effects and the economic effects of integrated solar thermal in the Swedish DHSs.<\/span><\/p>\n1.
