1. Fully Funded PhD Position in biology with a focus on tropical forest ecology
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is primarily based on ongoing research efforts carried out by the Atlantic Forest Research and Conservation Alliance (www.araca-project.org) at Alto da Figueira Reserve in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The reserve is managed by the non-profit charity Antonelli Foundation for Biodiversity Research and Conservation (www.antonelli-foundations.org). Its permanent protected status and long-term funding provide security that the established tree plots will be freely accessible to researchers and students for decades to come, thus enabling long-term ecological monitoring studies and providing the PhD student to lead on and participate in many scientific collaborations.
Application Deadline: October 31st, 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Odontological Science – Management of furcation defects
Summary of PhD Program:
Furcation defects at molar teeth are a known risk factor for tooth loss. Non-surgical treatment at such sites commonly results in poor treatment outcomes. The incomplete response is explained by the morphologic complexity of the furcation area, retaining bacterial deposits and hampering adequate biofilm control. To improve accessibility, root-resective approaches have been applied. Long-term results, however, suggest that tooth survival is not critically improved when compared to more conservative strategies. As an alternative, recent small-scale studies advocated reconstructive approaches for the management of furcation defects, highlighting tissue preservation as a critical advantage. However, large multi-center trials demonstrating the benefits of the method are not yet available.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Odontological Science – Antimicrobial treatment of deep caries lesions
Summary of PhD Program:
Even though improvement of oral care and increased knowledge on oral diseases has brought about a decrease of caries prevalence, treatment of deep caries and keeping the vitality of the pulp is still a challenge worldwide. Dental caries is an infectious disease caused by acidogenic bacteria in dental plaque attached to tissues of the teeth. Effective removal and/or inactivation of the microbial biofilm is crucial for treatment of dental caries. A novel antimicrobial technique utilizing hydroxyl radicals has been developed for application to treatments of infectious dental diseases. The technique photolyzes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), creating hydroxyl radicals that cause lethal oxidative damage on bacterial cells.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Odontological Science – Oral microbiology
Summary of PhD Program:
Oral bacteria associated with health often have the ability to reduce ingested nitrate to nitrite that can then be further processed into nitric oxide. A diet rich in green vegetables (a rich source of nitrate), combined with an oral flora of nitrate-reducing bacterial species, is alleged to foster systemic health through regulation of blood pressure. Nitrite production in the oral cavity is also thought to have local anti-inflammatory effects that may counteract the chronic destructive inflammatory disease periodontitis. In addition, nitrite has been shown to affect surrounding bacteria and by this possibly affect the oral ecology and the composition of dental plaques.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science – Choice of surgical treatment and effect on QoL
Summary of PhD Program:
Choosing surgical treatment can be a complex clinical decision. Surgical treatment can have lifelong impact on patients’ functional ability. Knowledge on the outcome of treatment is of great value in the decision process. Understanding mechanism that can lead to unwanted variability and bias in choice of treatment are also important to contribute to equal health care. This project is interdisciplinary and spans across the disciplines of surgery, cognitive psychology, and medical sociology. It will explore treatment decisions within surgery and their effects on the patients. The aim is to give a better understanding and knowledge of how different factors play a role in the decisions as well as how the choice of treatment, including prehabilitation, can affect the patients’ daily life after surgery.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science – Radiation sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim is to increase the competence to analyze these difficult to measure radionuclides in radioactive waste from decommissioning of nuclear facilities by developing, implementing and validating cost-efficient methods for analyses of liquid and solid samples. The chemical separations will apply liquid-liquid extraction with organic solvents and compounds, and precipitations in order to separate the elements based on their solubility and chemical properties. The development of the methods will be based on theoretical and observable data such as solubility, chemical behavior and complexation with other compounds. Water samples will be spiked with the radionuclides of interest, and chemical separations will be performed where each fraction after each step is measured.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Science – Enhancing internal bone marrow dosimetry
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project aims to bridge these gaps by developing an enhanced internal dosimetry model specifically tailored for the bone marrow, focusing on the internal distribution of radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals. The PhD project is organized around four key objectives to enhance the understanding and predictive accuracy of a complex internal dosimetry model for hematological toxicities. Initially, it will analyze trabecular bone and spongiosa tissue variations using micro-CT and histological examinations, employing our research imaging platform and MATLAB-based AI to construct the bone marrow structure. Monte Carlo simulations will calculate mean absorbed doses for various radionuclides

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Natural Science, specialising in Geology – Direct dating of ore deposits in Sweden
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral student will be mostly working on samples from existing drill cores, focusing on up to six key ore deposits, with the majority within the Bergslagen mining district. Here the chosen Doctoral Student can make use of state-of-the-art analytical equipment here in Gothenburg (Laser Ablation coupled to an Agilent 8800, Micro-Raman, SEM) and the other leading Swedish laboratories that are developing and conducting geochronological analysis, Lunds Universitet (LU) and Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet (NRM).

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Populism and the reshaping of the EU
Summary of PhD Program:
IDEoPOP offers training-through-research within a uniquely structured doctoral programme imparting academic and complementary professional skills. A multifaceted scholarly training is provided jointly by seven academic partners, where PhD students are employed: University of Freiburg (Germany), Sciences Po Paris (France), University of Gothenburg (Sweden), Bilkent University (Turkey), University of Genoa (Italy), Jagiellonian University (Poland), and University of Bath (UK). Moreover, doctoral candidates will learn how to develop and communicate academic and policy-relevant solutions to the challenges posed by populism in international politics via temporary assignments to renowned think tanks.
Application Deadline: 29 November 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Populists in International and Regional Organizations: Engagement or Disengagement?
Summary of PhD Program:
This dissertation analyzes why and how populist governments engage in or disengage from international and regional organizations. While it is a widespread belief in the scholarly community that populist governments undermine and withdraw from multilateral and regional institutions, recent research reveals a more complicated picture. Against this background, the dissertation will construct a framework for more fine-grained analysis of populist engagement and disengagement in IOs/ROs in different dimensions, which will enable the development of theoretical explanations. Previous research has often focused on individual instances of disengagement.
