PhD position summary/title:– Ph.D. student in Medical Radiation Physics with a focus on MR-Physics
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) measures microscopic properties in the tissue by studying random motion of water molecules. In dense tissue, diffusion is slow, while it appears to be faster in looser tissue. Diffusion MRI can therefore detect cancers that cause the tissue to be abnormally dense. Unfortunately, current dMRI methods have a poor clinical performance. This shortcoming can be remedied by performing a wider range of diffusion encoding, and thereby learning more about the tissue microstructure. For example, we aim to distinguish properties like cell density, cell shape, cell size, blood volume, and cell membrane permeability. Once estimated, these parameters can serve as biomarkers to improve the diagnostics and monitoring of disease.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Chemical Physics (Understanding fundamental photophysical properties of DNA- templated silver nanoclusters)
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters have come into prominence, because of their fascinating properties, including strong absorption and intense emission. These and other properties can be readily tuned by changing DNA sequence. The combination of desirable properties and tunability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications from biosensing to nanophotonics. Surprisingly, the photophysical properties of these complexes are still very poorly understood, and we aspire to remedy this deficiency. We will use advanced time-resolved spectroscopy (and potentially microscopy) techniques to systematically study these complexes with the aim to understand their fundamental properties. The gained knowledge, besides unraveling fundamental photophysics describing electronic structure and dynamics of this class of systems, should also enable us to guide the synthesis of future AgN-DNAs for targeted applications. The synthesis of these complexes will be done by our collaborators at the University of Copenhagen and spectroscopic studies will be aided by quantum chemistry calculations by theory collaborators.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Physics within the discipline of experimental nanothermodynamics
The research at the division of Solid State Physics within the Physics Department is focused around different aspects of nanophysics, ranging from materials science to quantum physics, to different applications. The division plays a central role in NanoLund, the major interdisciplinary research environment within nanoscience and nanotechnology at Lund University, and it hosts Lund Nano Lab, a central key facility for fabrication of material and devices on the nanoscale. The division is also heavily involved in the undergraduate education, especially within the “Engineering Nanoscience” program.
NanoLund stands at the forefront of research in semiconductor quantum devices and nanoscale heat engines – recently demonstrating quantum dot-based heat engines with thermoelectric energy conversion efficiencies approaching the fundamental limit while producing power.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Physical Chemistry
Physical Chemistry involves research relating to molecular issues. The experimental and theoretical methods used often originate from physics. The emphasis in Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry is on research, both experimental and theoretical, within surface and colloidal chemistry and with a special focus on self-aggregating systems. The systems studied include tensides, polymers and biomolecules.
Bile salt surfactants and oppositely charged polymers interact strongly in water, leading to a spontaneous co-association and the formation of mixed aggregates with an unique supramolecular and chiral structure. The research project is expected to provide fundamental understanding on the intermolecular interaction in polymer-bile salt systems. It aims specifically to understand how external stimuli and the physical and chemical properties of the constituents influence the formation, structure and chiral properties of the mixed aggregates. The overall aim with the research is to identify new bile salt sequestrants, which are used in the treatment of bile salt related diseases and hypercholesterolemia, and new drug carriers.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD Position in Plant-soil interactions in arctic tundra
Roots play a pivotal role in partitioning resources needed for plant development and mediating terrestrial ecosystem functions in the energy, water and biogeochemical cycles. This role even becomes more critical in northern ecosystems, like Arctic tundra, where resources (light, water, and nutrients) are often limited, ecological/physical processes are ephemeral, and ecosystems undergo the most rapid climatic changes on the planet. However, root growth and function for tundra plants remain one of the least understood aspects in terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, it is imperative to have a better understanding of how roots respond to climatic warming and to make a comprehensive assessment of how vegetation-induced feedbacks can impact on the regional and global climate system.
In this project, we look for a PhD candidate to investigate biotic and abiotic drivers for the changes in plant root traits and how these changes have impacts on ecosystem carbon and nitrogen cycles. Based on the compiled database of plant root traits and literature, the PhD candidate will conduct a meta-analysis about the relationships of root traits and biotic and abiotic drivers. Based on a long-term sampling of root and carbon flux dataset, the PhD candidate will then develop an advanced root module in an individual-based dynamic global vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS) to properly represent root dynamics in terms of carbon allocation, dynamic root distribution and plastic responses of extracting nutrients and water for arctic tundra ecosystems. The model will further be incorporated in the framework of a regional Earth system model to dynamically downscale future climate scenarios and assess impacts of biogeophysical and biogeochemical feedback to the regional and global climate system.
The PhD position will be fully funded by the research grant from Swedish VR, Crafoord and BECC. The PhD candidate will be supervised by Dr. Wenxin Zhang together a team of researchers working with field measurements and ecosystem modelling at Lund University, University of Copenhagen, and Universe of Gothenburg. Research outcomes of the project will contribute to two Strategic Research Areas (BECC, Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate, www.becc.lu.se) and (MERGE, Modelling the Regional and Global Earth system, www.merge.lu.se) at Lund University.

Lund University has nine faculties, with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 40,000 students in 270 different programmes and 1,300 freestanding courses. The university has some 600 partner universities in nearly 70 countries and it belongs to the League of European Research Universities as well as the global Universitas 21 network. Lund University is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities.
Two major facilities for materials research are in Lund University: MAX IV, a synchrotron radiation laboratory – inaugurated in June 2016, and European Spallation Source (ESS), a new European facility that will provide up to 100 times brighter neutron beams than existing facilities today, to be opened in 2023.
