1. Fully Funded PhD Position in public international law
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral project will be developed as part of REF-FIN and will rely on the overall project’s fieldwork to assess the impact of refugee financing on international protection in line with international law and human rights, both in theory and in practice. It is therefore expected that the project description submitted with this application will focus on refugee protection in the context of social impact investments and/or development finance. A project description including an examination of social impact investing for refugees and of other financial instruments for refugees at the EU level is desirable.
Application Deadline: 12.Nov.2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics within nanowire based light emitting diodes
Summary of PhD Program:
The research at the division of Solid State Physics focuses around different aspects of semiconductor physics, ranging from materials science to quantum physics, to different applications. The division also leads NanoLund, the major interdisciplinary research environment within nanoscience and nanotechnology at Lund University. Lund Nano Lab is 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.
Application Deadline: 04.Nov.2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics on experimental quantum technology
Summary of PhD Program:
The focus of this project is to realize a small quantum communication node, based on qubits consisting of individual ions of rare earth’s (Lanthanides). Such a communication node can later store entangled quantum states and send out photons that can entangle several other such nodes with each other. This node is a key component for several quantum technologies, also extending to quantum computing and quantum optics. In order to be able to detect individual ions, the project uses an optical micro-cavity to amplify the interaction.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Technology and Society focused on the economic analysis of digital market structure and cyber security
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD position is part of an interdisciplinary research project on the economics of cybersecurity, funded by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB). Apart from SoeTech researchers, the project includes scholars in technology and psychology from Rise Research Institutes of Sweden and Uppsala University, respectively, as well as a PhD student in psychology at Uppsala University.
Application Deadline: 01.Nov.2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in polymer technology with a focus on green polymer chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The transition from today’s fossil-based plastics to tomorrow’s bio-based materials from renewable resources means a major research challenge for the future. This doctoral project is aimed at synthesis of new monomers and polymers from renewable resources, as well as characterization of structure and material properties of bio-based polymers. The main goal is to develop new synthesis strategies and knowledge about how, for example, different bio-based polyesters and polyacrylates should be molecularly tailored to meet the requirements of various industrial applications where plastics from fossil raw materials are currently used.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science with focus on Robot Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
Current advancements in robotics leverage extensive datasets of robot trajectories, images, and language descriptions to train machine learning models, such as transformer models, enabling robots to execute common tasks like picking and placing. However, these models are predominantly trained on everyday tasks involving common objects, with vast datasets comprising hundreds of thousands of training episodes. In this project, we want to extend the capabilities of robots to domains such as healthcare an manufacturing, where data is scarce.
Application Deadline: 30.Oct.2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Systemic Radiation Therapy
Summary of PhD Program:
For certain cancers, radiopharmaceuticals such as Lu177-PSMA are used for both therapy and diagnostics, known as theragnostics. Using SPECT or PET cameras, the radiation emitted by the radiopharmaceuticals can be measured to quantify the amount and distribution of radioactivity in the patient. This allows for estimating the radiation dose to organs, a crucial tool for evaluating radionuclide therapy and optimizing treatment plans.
Application Deadline: 28.Oct.2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Technology and Society with focus on railway technology
Summary of PhD Program:
You will work in and be responsible for a research project focusing on railway punctuality – both sources of systematic unpunctuality, and on the duration and spread of disruptions from a traffic management point of view. You will be part of a research group working on related topics, and work in close collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration and other industry partners. Travel will be part of the position, both inside Sweden and internationally.
Application Deadline: 25.Oct.2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Industrial Electrical Engineering with a focus on Electric Propulsion Systems for Jet Engines
Summary of PhD Program:
The position concerns knowledge development on how future electric propulsion systems in aircraft will be designed and used. The work takes place in an environment of researchers in electric power systems, power electronics, and electric motor drive systems, but also in close collaboration with researchers in adjacent departments and divisions working with automatic control, fuel cell technology, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, fire and fire protection, and semiconductor physics.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physics with focus on attosecond physics
Summary of PhD Program:
At the division, research is performed on the generation and application of extremely short light pulses, in the attosecond and extreme ultraviolet range. The activities span from ultrafast laser technology and extreme nonlinear optics to studies of the electron dynamics in atoms and molecules as well as more complex systems using attosecond light pulses. The division of Atomic Physics is now looking for two PhD students for the projects described below. The projects are founded through a Marie Sklodowska-Curie doctoral network: Quantum information science and ultrafast nonlinear control at the attosecond timescale – QU-ATTO

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of the PhD project is to enhance our understanding of how forest management contributes to browning, and how that link is mediated by the decomposition processes of fungal communities. Browning – that freshwaters are becoming increasingly brown – is widely observed in northern regions, and is caused by increased leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and iron from the catchment. This phenomenon has received ample attention, since it constitutes a significant portion of the global carbon cycle, and any changes in this flux may have consequences for the forests capacity to sequester carbon.
