PhD position summary/title:–PhD student in evolutionary genomics of symbiotic bacteria and their hosts
The project aims to study how symbiotic interactions between bacteria and animal hosts affect both partners’ genetic material and evolution. Our model system is the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia in different Drosophila species, primarily from the willistoni group.
Wolbachia is often called one of the world’s most successful infections since it can be found in a large variety of invertebrates and is estimated to infect over 60% of all insect species on Earth. It is maternally transmitted, occurs in both facultative and obligate host interactions and can be everything from beneficial to pathogenic for the host. However, Wolbachia is best known as a facultative infection that interferes with host reproduction to increase the fitness of infected females and thereby its transmission success.
In the Drosophila willistoni group, most species are infected with highly similar Wolbachia strains that vary in their interaction with the host in several ways, for example, being obligate or facultative for the host, able to manipulate reproduction or not and having high or low infection levels. Using mostly large-scale sequencing of both Drosophila and Wolbachia genomes and performing comparative genomics, the goal is to determine the genetic factors in both Wolbachia and Drosophila that determine this variability in host-symbiont interaction and to elucidate the evolutionary events that took place to create it.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD student in Cardiovascular development and genome engineering.
Hemodynamic forces generated by the blood flow are an essential regulator of cardiovascular development and function. In consequence, flow perturbations are associated with congenital anomalies such as cardiac valve pathologies and vasculopathies. The flow forces are exerted on endothelial cells, which line the vessel wall. Specialized forms of endothelium include the endocardium, critical for cardiac function, and the blood-brain barrier that preserves the integrity of the central nervous system.
The laboratory aims to determine the mechanosensory response in these specialized endothelial populations and establish novel conditional loss-of-function strategies to study cardiovascular system formation. We use the zebrafish, a leading model in cardiovascular research, exploiting a combination of next-generation sequencing, high-resolution imaging, advanced genome engineering, and functional analyses.
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work with zebrafish as a model system to understand how blood flow instructs endothelial cells during development and generate genetic tools to modulate endothelial gene function.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD student in scientific computing focusing on earthquake modeling
The topic of this project is modeling and simulation of earthquakes. All earthquake models contain partially unknown parameters, such as seismic wave speeds and frictional parameters on a fault. Since direct measurements of these parameters remain infeasible, we have to use seismometer data and other indirect measurements to constrain the parameters. This inverse problem is the main focus of the project. In close collaboration with geophysicists at Stanford University, we have recently developed a framework to invert for frictional parameters. The project goals are to extend the framework to different kinds of geophysical data and to implement the new methods in efficient software to facilitate earthquake simulations of with realistic physics and complex fault geometries in 3D.

PhD position summary/title:–Doctoral (Phd) position in Solid State Physics, with focus on the synthesis and study of next-generation sustainable magnets
Permanent magnets are key elements in many of today’s technologies for energy conversion.
The most powerful permanent magnets are based on rare earth metals, which are classified as both rare and strategic, meaning both scarcity and high price. In this project, we develop sustainable magnets using new synthesis methods and establish their utility through detailed magnetic measurements. The synthesis includes nanocomposites and metal alloys free from, or with a very small content of, rare earth metals. One goal of the project is to experimentally realize new alloys and compounds that, from calculations, are predicted to have high performance as permanent magnets.
Sweden has some of Europe’s largest ore deposits of rare earth metals with potential for mining. This project includes magnetically characterizing samples found in geological surveys to discern natural ore compositions that could be used for the synthesis of new rare earth magnets, thereby bypassing or reducing the number of steps for separation of the useful chemical elements.
The project is a collaboration between the Division of Solid State Physics at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Division of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry – Ångström, as well as the Department of Earth Sciences, all at Uppsala University.

PhD position summary/title:–PhD student in Molecular Biophysics
In the framework of an ERC Advanced Grant, the student will investigate the activity and function of disease-related genome-interacting protein complexes. A strong focus will be on developing and applying novel single-molecule FRET-based imaging approaches to record the real-time dynamics by which these protein complexes manipulate their nucleic acid substrates. Additionally, the student will leverage a powerful and as-of-yet unpublished approach, which combines single-molecule fluorescence microscopy with next-generation sequencing to enable highly multiplexed observations of complex dynamics at the single-molecule level. To uncover fundamental principles of genome organization, the student will comprehensively profile how the dynamics of genome-processing protein complexes depend on the sequence of the nucleic acids they interact with. Furthermore, a range of biochemical and biophysical approaches will be employed to further characterize these processes.

About Uppsala University, Sweden –Official Website
Uppsala University is a research university in Uppsala, Sweden. Founded in 1477, it is the oldest university in Sweden and all of the Nordic countries still in operation. It has ranked among the world’s 100 best universities in several high-profile international rankings during recent years. The university uses “Gratiae veritas naturae” as its motto and embraces natural sciences.
The university rose to pronounced significance during the rise of Sweden as a great power at the end of the 16th century and was then given a relative financial stability with the large donation of King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century. Uppsala also has an important historical place in Swedish national culture, identity and for the Swedish establishment: in historiography, literature, politics, and music. Many aspects of Swedish academic culture in general, such as the white student cap, originated in Uppsala. It shares some peculiarities, such as the student nation system, with Lund University and the University of Helsinki.
Uppsala belongs to the Coimbra Group of European universities and to the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. The university has nine faculties distributed over three “disciplinary domains”. It has about 44,000 registered students and 2,300 doctoral students. It has a teaching staff of roughly 1,800 (part-time and full-time) out of a total of 6,900 employees. Twenty-eight per cent of the 716 professors at the university are women. Of its turnover of SEK 6.6 billion (approx. USD 775 million) in 2016, 29% was spent on education at Bachelor’s and Master’s level, while 70% was spent on research and research programs.
