1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nordic languages
Summary of PhD Program:
At the Department of Nordic Languages there is a postgraduate subject, Nordic languages. Within this, the variation in the studies is large and can include e.g. text and conversation research, Swedish with a didactic focus (about the Swedish language in school and Swedish as a second language), language structure and historical linguistics, name research, multilingualism, neighboring languages and dialects, philology and runology (for examples, see the department’s research page and ongoing dissertation projects ). We welcome applicants within all parts of the postgraduate subject Nordic languages.
Application Deadline: 2024-09-16
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in grid connection of renewable energy systems, with a focus on power electronics
Summary of PhD Program:
The integration of renewable energy in the electrical grid is increasing. One key difference for the grid connection of traditional electric power production such as nuclear power and hydropower, that dominate the Swedish grid, and renewable energy, is that the generator can be synchronously connected to the grid. For intermittent energy sources, such as ocean, wind and solar energy, the connection has to be made using as intermediate step with power converters. By grid connecting using power converters, the inertia from the generator is not transmitted to the grid, leading to an electrical grid more sensitive to differences in produced and consumed power, causing frequency fluctuations.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Learning focusing on Sequential Decision-Making
Summary of PhD Program:
This project is focused on basic research into theory and methods for sequential decision-making that adapts to the information obtained from systems over time. The aim is to develop new ideas for a broad class of problems in, e.g., adaptive experiment design, sensor fusion, and resource management. The problems will be grounded in applications to ensure that our research is relevant in real-world settings, including batteries, inventory management, power systems, etc.
Application Deadline: 20.Sep.2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in computational linguistics within a project focusing on criminal procedure law
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral project will be conducted within the framework of the sub-project oral statements. Within this sub-project, e.g. whether automated language analysis or human raters are best at determining whether someone is lying or telling the truth. This includes language technology and scenario-based experiments with e.g. police officers, prosecutors and judges. In addition to this, it is evaluated which features distinguish sincere and lying statements, as well as which signals human assessors use in practice. The doctoral project primarily aims at the parts that include language technology but also collaborations with other EB-CRIME researchers regarding the comparison with human assessors etc.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nanotechnology and Functional materials
Summary of PhD Program:
This project focuses on the utilization of sustainable biopolymers (e.g., cellulose, lignin, chitosan) for the extraction of critical metals including rare earth elements from various sources, such as minerals, through a hydrometallurgy approach. The project include chemical modification and functionalization of the biopolymers, as well as complexation of biopolymers with functional porous materials (e.g., metal-organic frameworks, porous organic polymers), aiming to achieve high extraction efficiencies for the critical metals.
Application Deadline: 19.Sep.2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in plant evolution
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, the PhD student will compare species from four different origins of buzz-pollinated flowers to test several general hypotheses of why buzz pollination evolves. Specific tests will include glasshouse and common garden experiments at Uppsala University but may also be extended to field localities in Sweden and abroad. The PhD student will have access to excellent plant growth facilities, flight arenas to study bee behavior, particle counters, as well as specialized equipment to study the effects of bee vibrations on flowers (e.g., accelerometers, shakers, lasers, micro-robots). The planned tests represent an ambitious and unprecedented evaluation of the evolutionary reasons for buzz pollination and will provide crucial insights into the mechanisms driving the convergent evolution of buzz-pollinated flowers.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Automatic Control focusing on robust statistical learning and system identification
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, the selected candidate will join us in conducting research in automatic control and statistical learning, developing data-driven methods to learn large-scale signals and systems from data. There will be a strong focus on developing robust methods with mathematical guarantees, focusing on dynamical, statistical, and optimization properties with potential applications to medicine. The exact details of the research project are decided in a dialogue between the doctoral student and the supervisor.
Application Deadline: 09.Oct.2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biophysics with a focus on ultrafast imaging with X-ray lasers
Summary of PhD Program:
The Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology promotes research and discoveries at the frontiers of photon science by exploring and exploiting photon-material interactions on short time scales, at high photon frequencies. It produced the scientific case in imaging for the construction of the first X-ray free-electron laser, the LCLS. It also includes groups with expertise in broad range of areas such as single-molecule microscopy, mass spectrometry, cryogenic electron microscopy and crystallography.
Application Deadline: 13.Sep.2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in quantum information theory
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious PhD student in quantum information theory, with a particular focus on quantum measurement theory and its applications. Quantum measurement theory has various non-classical features, such as incompatibilities and the inevitable back-effect of the measurement. Recent developments and the currently ongoing second quantum revolution have shown that this quantum theory can be used in ground-breaking technical applications in e.g. communication and metrology. These applications are driven by correlations that are stronger than those that can be produced classically.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
We hereby declare a PhD student position to be open for application. The PhD-studies will focus on the investigation of the diffusion properties of volatile elements such as Xe, Kr, I and Cs, in a range of different nuclear-fuel types, under a range of thermal conditions. The core of the methodology, by which this will be achieved, is ion-implantation of the volatiles in unirradiated nuclear-fuel followed by elemental depth-profiling with ToF-ERDA (Time-of-Flight – Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis) recoil detection analysis. Fuel samples will then be annealed and the effect of the annealing assessed by additional depth profiling. These general procedures will be further supported by a range of other material categorisation techniques, which will provide correlated information on changes in the microstructure of the samples.
