(02) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:– 1 doctoral student in economic geography
The doctoral candidate program amounts to 240 credits (equivalent to four years of full-time study). It formally ends with the doctoral candidate publicly defending his/her printed doctoral thesis. The holder of a doctoral position has as primary obligation to successfully fulfill the third cycle education ending with a PhD degree. Regulations concerning appointment as a full-time doctoral student can be found in the Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 5, 1-7 §§.
The holder of a doctoral position is expected to participate actively in the research and teaching environment of the department and may have to perform departmental duties, above all teaching, amounting to about 20 percent of full time.
The research will be conducted within the field of economic geography and connect to the research projects “Geography of urban infrastructure transformation – understanding the global diffusion of innovation in the sanitation sector (GEO-SAN)” and “Toward circular urban water economies – Assessing the Global Scaling Trajectories of Four Innovative Water Reuse Solutions (GLOBALWATER)”. The joint goal of these projects is to understand how innovative urban water treatment and reuse solutions are developed, scaled and diffused across different spatial contexts. The PhD candidate is expected to engage in research on the geography of socio-technical transitions and analyze global innovation trajectories related to water treatment and reuse in centralized (large-scale network based) and de-centralized (modular, small-scale) systems respectively. The projects draw on a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative in-depth case studies in lighthouse cities in high- and middle-income contexts (e.g. EU, USA, India, South Africa) with global system mapping using socio-technical configuration analysis (STCA). The position will include original data collection through fieldwork and interview campaigns in high- and middle-income cities.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Physics towards Instrumentational Entomological Lidar
The project aims to develop a rapid assessment method of insect abundance and species richness. The goal of the project is to develop and construct multiple weather-proof eye-safe entomological laser radars. The instruments will be deployed in distinct habitats and operated throughout seasons. The sensors will be based on short wave infrared light. Quantitative equivalent pathlengths of chitin, melanin and water in microns can be deduced from the insect echoes for the purpose of classifying free flying species. We hope to acquire close to one billion observations of free flying insects over two years and distinguish thousands of species. Diversity will be calculated by advanced clustering methods. Field observations can be assigned to major insect orders by developing oscillatory spectral scattering models for insect, and recording reference values from known species in laboratory.

(05) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in physical chemistry
Physical Chemistry includes research addressing molecular questions. The applied experimental and theoretical methods often have their origin in physics. Within physical chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, the focus lies on experimental and theoretical research within surface and colloid science, with a special focus on self-assembling systems. Lipids, polymers and biomolecules are examples of studied systems.
This PhD project studies food proteins from plant seeds employing a soft matter and biophysical perspective. A particular focus is on the question how plant proteins react to changes in temperature and chemical environment in terms of phase behavior and structural transitions. These seed proteins are promising candidates to replace animal-derived food proteins with a more sustainable, healthy and affordable protein source. However, plant proteins are very different from animal proteins regarding solubility, conformation and stability, which requires more fundamental understanding to then create opportunities for tunable food assembly in the future. The project combines physicochemical laboratory work with time-resolved monitoring of structure and dynamics during assembly processes using biophysical scattering techniques.

(07) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in Biology with specialisation in insect eco-physiology
Biology is the broad subject about all living things. It encompasses everything from processes at the molecular and cellular level to global processes at ecosystem level. The subject is divided into a range of sub-disciplines and specialisations. The PhD programme at the Department of Biology includes many of these specialisations, from molecular biology to applied ecology, from viruses and individual cells to evolutionary biology and global biodiversity. Taking on research studies at the Department of Biology generally means focusing on a delimited part of the research area of biology and may include field studies, experiments, theoretical studies, or a combination of these.
The goal of this PhD project is to promote sustainable management of natural resources, pollinators, and biodiversity through a set of experiments based around bees in the climate change-pollination nexus. Global warming and the increased frequency of extreme heat and drought events are expected to accelerate worldwide bee declines. The temporal, spatial, and evolutionary causes of this decline and their mechanistic underpinnings are still largely unresolved. For example, some bees have alleviated the effects of warming by advancing phenology, but we do not know how species that have failed to do so are affected by rising temperatures. There is also limited information about landscape-level effects of global warming on bee development, health and diversity, and whether the negative effects of warming can be reversed. At conclusion, the PhD student will have contributed to understanding which bees will beat the heat and how they do it, to better understand the consequences of climate change for biodiversity and ecosystem service

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in theoretical computer science
At the heart of computational complexity theory is the quest to understand the nature of efficient computation. What makes a problem computationally hard or easy? How can we show that every algorithm that solves a certain problem must necessarily consume a large amount of resources (such as time or memory, say)? The study of the potential and limits of efficient computation is about foundational, mathematical, research, but research results in computational complexity theory have had major impact in other areas of computer science and other scientific disciplines, and have given rise to some of the most important open problems in modern mathematics.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral student in Engineering Geology
Deep geological conditions, including raw materials within the rock mass and formation fluids, remain less explored compared to shallow subsurface conditions. In Sweden there exists a network of deep boreholes, which have been drilled for e.g. geothermal, scientific and nuclear repository purposes. The deep boreholes are placed in different geological environments and most of the boreholes are core drilled; however, mud rotary drilling have been used for the deepest ones. Most of the boreholes have been drilled and tested over the past 20 years and are still accessible. Drill cores or cuttings are available for further studies for many of the boreholes, as well as geological descriptions, drilling parameters, results from in-situ measurements such as borehole logging, hydraulic tests and water sampling. Additionally, XRF-data from the scanned drill cores, as well as petrophysical information from core logging is available for a selection of boreholes.
