1. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical computer science and/or combinatorial optimization
Summary of PhD Program:
The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, Gröbner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint programming.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in astronomy
Summary of PhD Program:
One of the most elusive questions in modern astronomy has finally become tractable – the origin of the thick disk in the Milky Way. The presence of a thick disk matters because it tells us about the dynamical history of the galaxy. The existence of thick stellar disks in addition to a thin stellar disk is ubiquitous in the local Universe. Several potential formation channels for thick disks have been suggested. A number of major blocking points have inhibited progress in differentiating between these different channels. To make advances we need to make use of observational data to test the models. We will take advantage of the astrometric data from ESA’s Gaia satellite in combination with spectroscopic data emerging from ground-breaking stellar surveys SDSS-V, 4MOST and WEAVE to understand the formation of the thick disk.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Astronomy and Astrophysics with focus on Exoplanet atmospheres
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral project is part of a larger project in a collaboration together with the research group of Daniel Kitzmann (University of Bern), that focusses on the development of new radiative transfer and chemistry models to interpret observations of exoplanet atmospheres, including high-resolution ground-based spectroscopy and JWST. The group of Jens Hoeijmakers works on observations of exoplanet atmospheres, especially high-resolution ground-based spectroscopy of ultra-hot Jupiters.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experimental Oncology
Summary of PhD Program:
We subscribe to the view that a tumour should be considered as a communicating organ in its own right, comprising multiple cell types that collectively evolve into a clinically manifested and deadly disease. Our overarching aim is to functionally define the cellular elements of a tumour. In the current project, microniches orchestrated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) will be divulged and interrogated for function during metastatic dissemination. By a refinement of current state-of-the-art technologies, our studies enable inferences about molecular interactions between specialised cell types in confined cellular niches.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Fluid Dynamics for biomass conversion
Summary of PhD Program:
This doctoral position is centered on the advanced study of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as applied to biomass thermochemical conversion. The primary research focus is on the development of mathematical and computational modeling to predict composition of bio-oil and permanent gases released during the pyrolysis process, properties of biochar, and effect of feedstock variation under CO2 rich pyrolysis. The morphology of the produced biochar, pore size distribution and specific surface area, depends on the structure of the parent biomass and the operating conditions of the pyrolysis reactions. In a CO2-rich pyrolysis, the morphology of char is expected to be different from pyrolysis in N2 environment.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electrical Engineering focusing on Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have attracted a lot of attention over the past few decades. Machine learning algorithms have been considered in many application domains, including Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The adoption of machine learning in these domains creates many new opportunities, but also involves several major challenges, e.g., complexity of machine learning algorithms and reliability and trust in the decisions made by machine learning algorithms.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in physics within the discipline of optical sensors based on nanotechnology
Summary of PhD Program:
The focus of the current doctoral student education concerns design, manufacturing and electrical and optical characterization of a new type of advanced IR sensors consisting of matrices of interconnected complex needle-like semiconductor structures, so-called nanowires. FTF and NanoLund have been pioneers in a highly regarded and successful development of nanowires with important applications in, for example, electronics, energy and photonics. More specifically, IR sensors especially suitable for the wavelength range 1.7-2.5 μm (extended short-wave infrared, eSWIR) are to be developed. These sensors are extremely important for the growing interest in imaging surveillance from space, as well as for important applications in medicine and security.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in physics with focus on theoretical attosecond physics
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral student will in this project work on developing effective descriptions of matter that is strongly coupled to light, where electrons are simultaneously removed from atoms, leading to the creation of ions. These processes are complex and challenge both our intuition and numerical computational capabilities. Short-wavelength light (X-rays) can eject electrons from the inner shells of atoms, while electrons from the outer shells can be removed using long-wavelength light pulses (infrared radiation). This project focuses on quantum-mechanical calculations of how free electrons and ions are formed during such processes and how they can subsequently be entangled by the laser light.
Application Deadline: 02.Jan.2025
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Medical Radiation Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
This project focuses on methods to optimize motion management for these patients. At our disposal, we have modern equipment such as an MR-linac, a CT-linac (Tomotherapy) and other equipment optimized for on-line imaging and stereotaxic treatments. The project is not limited to existing equipment but aims also to develop the future optimal radiation treatment of ventricular tachycardia, including, among other things, machine learning (ML) and faster imaging- and radiation deliveries individually adapted to the cardio motion. The project is interdisciplinary, and supervision will take place in a multidisciplinary group.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in History of Religions specialising in Islamic Studies within the research programme The Middle East in the Contemporary World (MECW)
Summary of PhD Program:
The Sharī‘a’s law has been crucial for understanding ethical approaches in Islamic tradition, including within economic and environmental thought. EcoCos analyzes sources from Islamic traditions – both pre-modern and modern – as resources for a new ethics of sustainability and places itself at the forefront of an on-going discussion on economic and environmental concerns, as well as their relation to knowledge production. It is devised as a critical and comparative study of contemporary (21st century) and classical (8th-16th century) epistemological, philosophical, and practical aspects of economic thought and the nonhuman across the Muslim world, especially in the MENA and in South(east) Asia regions.
