1. Fully Funded PhD Position in human geography
Summary of PhD Program:
The current doctoral project will be carried out within the framework of an ongoing research project called The Internationalization of Tourism Labor Markets in Rural Arctic Sweden. This project asks what happens with companies and their local embeddedness when rural tourism entrepreneurs need to find employees abroad. During the last decade, tourism has been established as an important way of making a living in rural Sweden. Particularly in Arctic Sweden successful entrepreneurs have often started small-scale accommodation and activity businesses attracting tourists from all over the world.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computing Science with a focus on efficiently monitoring and managing of large-scale cloud edge systems
Summary of PhD Program:
Modern Cloud-Edge systems are rapidly growing in complexity and size, fuelled by huge growth in the number of connected devices, increasing demand for performance, low latency, and improved bandwidth at the network edge. These trends have necessitated a transition from centralised systems to massive-scale federations of data centres, fog processing nodes, and edge devices – creating a dynamic continuum of resources. This is the next-generation fabric on which huge numbers of applications and resources will be deployed, managed, migrated, and scaled based on ever changing physical infrastructure, energy sources, network links, software requirements, and user behaviours.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is focused on preparation various carbon materials, including graphene related materials, optimized for application in sorption/separation of lanthanides and actinides. The project aims to prepare materials with high surface area using chemical modification of porous carbons, graphene and graphene oxide, introducing different defects and addition of nanoparticles. Important part of project is aimed on design of environmentally friendly methods for selective sorption of lanthanides from complex waste mixtures using advanced materials. This research will be a part of collaboration between several research groups working within EU project MaLaR.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Physics with focus on Optical Frequency Comb Spectroscopy
Summary of PhD Program:
We are now seeking a PhD student to work on the project aimed at high-resolution broadband spectroscopy of molecules of importance in astrophysics. Satellite- and ground-based observations of hot-Jupiter exoplanets revealed the presence of molecular species in their atmospheres. The observed spectra carry information about the composition, conditions and photo-chemistry in the exoplanetary atmospheres. To extract this information, accurate theoretical models of high-temperature spectra are needed. These, in turn, must be verified by data obtained from high-precision laboratory measurements. Such data are missing for many molecular species, because high-temperature spectra are difficult to obtain and very congested, and therefore hard to analyze.
