PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral students in Physics with focus on attosecond physics
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
This means that the positions come with some constraints and possibilities. The candidates recruited for these positions cannot have have lived or carried out main activity (studies, work, etc.) in Sweden more than 12 months the last 3 years to be eligible. The positions come with a training network in Europe together with 15 PhD students in different countries. It will also include secondment at another university or in industry for a few months.
The first project is in collaboration with the free-electron laser facility FERMI in Italy. The name of the project is: Direct sub-cycle probing of the phase shift induced by two-photon Rabi cycling in helium and aims to control XUV light generated with a free-electron laser to produce attosecond pulses and to demonstrate coherent control of electronic dynamics in a two-photon absorption process.
The second project is called: Tomographic reconstruction of entangled quantum states in photoionization. This project aims to further improve the technique developed in Lund for the reconstruction of the density matrix of photoelectrons created by absorption of ultrashort XUV pulses by atoms and molecules. This project will be done mainly in-house.
In both projects, there will be a close collaboration with different theory groups.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties can also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%).

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Sustainable energy systems
The doctoral student will work on the project “Evaluating transformative energy governance in an urban context”. The aim of this project is to increase the capacity of cities to govern transformative change towards sustainable and climate-neutral energy systems. The project, which has an interdisciplinary approach, includes three doctoral students – one at Lund University (IIIEE), one at Linköping University and one at Stockholm Environmental Institute. The project is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency and the doctoral students will be part of the national interdisciplinary graduate school in Energy Systems.
The focus of the project is on the evaluation of transformative policy tools for climate-neutral energy system, and the development of an interdisciplinary evaluation framework that will allow for building strategies of continuous, learning-oriented evaluation approaches that can make the implementation of new transformative policy instruments more effective. The empirical focus will be on transformative governance tools which are currently gaining increasing attention in research and policy, (1) urban experimentation and system demonstrations, (2) transformative finance at the city level, and (3) public procurement for system innovation.
The doctoral student at the IIIEE will focus on the evaluation of public procurement for system innovation, taking into account aspects of how procurement programs support a transformative change of local energy systems, technology change (including technology performance), various learning processes related to innovation, and institutional change.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Sustainable Energy Systems Evaluation
The doctoral student will work within the project “Capacity for Assessment of Socio-economic Implications”.
The general research area is defined by investments in new industrial facilities and infrastructure in Sweden that are part of the country’s transition to a climate-neutral energy system. Driven by forces such as climate goals and market pressures for sustainable products and services, the ‘transition’ is a historic development that affects all of society.
The central focus of the project is on building knowledge of both the form, and the significance, of flow-on socio-economic, and sustainability, effects of major energy-related projects that are part of the transition
The project requires an interdisciplinary approach, and will employ two doctoral students – one at Lund University (IIIEE), and one at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). The project is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency and the doctoral students will be part of the national interdisciplinary graduate school in Energy Systems (FOES).
The general aim of this project is to increase the capacity of academia, industry, and regional/municipal authorities, to manage key socioeconomic changes in regional energy-related infrastructure and their enfolding energy systems.
The underlying challenge that the project addresses is that transformative energy-related infrastructure initiatives impose extensive social and economic side-effects upon host regions and between regions. While such projects offer extensive opportunities for new jobs and new opportunities for companies with direct or indirect connection to the ventures, they can also have unexpected or negative impacts. Among others, such include induced changes to the form and function of: host communities; demand for community services; housing and infrastructure markets; energy system function, and more. For opportunities to be maximised, and challenges ameliorated, improved information for planning is required by decision makers that span industry, regional and municipal authorities, and political spheres.
Thus, more specifically, the project is to both develop knowledge among energy system researchers, and build capacity to provide foresight into key regional socioeconomic changes and sustainability issues that relate to energy-transition infrastructure projects. In turn, the project is to enhance the abilities of decision makers in industry, and regional and municipal authorities as they seek to maximise socio-economic and environmental potentials.
Central to efforts to build capacity for assessment will be the application of the Regional Analysis and Forecasting System (Raps), a Swedish Multi Regional Input/Output model. Raps is applied for both forecasting and analysis of the socio-economic effects of projects upon regional economies and society. Empirical research work is planned with 4-5 large Swedish ‘energy-transition’ projects. Cases will span activities in areas such as: electrical energy storage; carbon sequestration; advanced renewable fuel production; and the hydrogen economy. The project will also contribute to the development of an energy module complementing the Swedish Raps.
The doctoral student at the IIIEE will have primary focus on the evaluation tasks focused on socioeconomic development parameters such as consequences for employment, demography, housing markets and immigration/emigration within the case studies. This will also take into account issues such as how gender, or group affiliation, affect access to positions of power, resources, and decision-making.
The IIIEE doctoral student will also collaborate closely with the KTH doctoral student. KTH work is to have more focus on the evaluation tasks that focus on engineering parameters, development of the modelling tool, and techno-economic analysis or modelling within the case studies.

PhD position summary/title:– Doctoral student in Electrical Engineering focusing on Integrated Analog Circuit Design
You will design series-resonance voltage-controlled oscillators and frequency multipliers in an advanced CMOS-process, targeting frequency generation up to 100 GHz as a well as the lowest phase noise ever achieved. The goal is to meet the superior spectral purity required by ultra-wide-band 6G communications. Another objective of the project is to improve the theoretical understanding of the mechanisms responsible for phase noise generation in a series-resonance oscillator, which appear to be quite distinct from those at work in transconductor-based oscillators.
