(06) Fully Funded PhD Position

PhD position summary/title: PhD-position in Medicinal Chemistry at Umeå University.

The objective of the research project is to develop biologically active organic molecules that can be used as chemical tools aimed at meeting the fast-growing demands of basic research in the area of metacaspases (MCs). These enzymes are present in all kingdoms of life, except for animals, and highly selective and specific probes with MC-modulating activity will generate new knowledge regarding the proteases’ structure and function. The results of this project will not only have a transformative impact on the field of MC research but will as well impel large and multidisciplinary community of scientists studying animal caspases. That fact that MCs are found in protozoa but not in humans makes it an attractive target for development of anti-parasitic drugs. Finding inhibitors or activators specific for protozoa MC will not only give valuable insights into the inter-species differences of MC function, but may also be a means of modulating virulence of parasitic protozoa, like Trypanosoma and Leishmania, in mammals thereby reducing their pathogenicity. The PhD candidate will design and synthesize molecules that inhibit or enhance the function of metacaspases by targeting active or allosteric sites. This project will be carried out within a research group that uses multidisciplinary approaches to address medicinal chemistry research questions.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in Boreal Forest Ecology-patterns and drivers of carbon allocation and cycling in boreal forests.

Boreal forests play a critical role in the global climate as stores of around a third of global terrestrial carbon. As climate change is particularly rapid across higher latitudes, the effects of climate change on this stored carbon has understandably become a topic of intense societal interest. Despite this, boreal forests have been largely ignored in global policy efforts to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable land management.
