10 Fully Funded PhD Position at Stockholm University, Sweden
(01) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: Contrasting the neural systems of social and non-social threat regulation in the developing brain.
Deadline of PhD Position: 01 April 2021
(02) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: Neurocognitive training with odors in adults and older persons.
Deadline of PhD Position: 01 April 2021
(03) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: The PhD project will focus on understanding the mechanisms controlling the development of extreme storms in the midlatitudes, with particular focus on the North Atlantic and Europe. The PhD student will apply a storm-tracking algorithm to observational data and climate model outputs to investigate these mechanisms in the present climate, and assess how they affect the frequency and intensity of storms in simulated warmer climates.

PhD position summary/title: The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences invites applications for a four-year PhD position part of the project ‘Plankton-fish interactions: An understudied link in Baltic Sea food webs and fisheries management’. The goal of this PhD project is to investigate prey preference of small pelagic fish including the entire prey spectrum using novel molecular tools that amplify and sequence low levels of DNA combined with network models to project trophic coupling under changing climate, nutrient and fisheries scenarios. Small-sized pelagic fish have a central role in marine food webs as they control production of predatory fish and at the same time feed on zooplankton and thereby indirectly control algal blooms. Understanding variation in plankton-fish feeding interactions are key for developing management strategies that promote fish stocks and enhance control on algal blooms, which requires detailed knowledge about feeding interactions from primary producers to upper trophic levels. Results of this project will be of relevance to better understand temporal and spatial dynamics of fish feeding, growth and recruitment, which is important to advice ecosystem management for sustainable fisheries and prevention of algal blooms.

(05) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: The PhD project will investigate the dynamics, life cycles and transport properties of coastal upwelling fronts as well as the exchange between the coastal zone and the interior. It will begin with exploring upwelling regimes of varying geometry, stratification and wind forcing with help of fluid dynamics theory and idealized numerical ocean models and in the context of impacts of climate change on upwelling frequency and offshore transport in the Baltic Sea. Further focus of the project will depend on the student’s interests. Possible research questions to be addressed are: dynamical comparisons of the Baltic Sea upwelling regime to other upwelling regions worldwide; development of parameterizations in ocean models; Lagrangian analysis of turbulent transport; eddy-wave interactions.

(06) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: Global climate change is a challenge for society. The Arctic is experiencing about twice as much warming than the global average but the reasons for this is not well understood. Moreover, our global climate models are not doing a god job even in representing the current Arctic climate. The Arctic is also the region where the uncertainty in future scenarios is the largest. Numerical prediction models for all timescales, weather, season and climate, depend on accurate description of processes that are not resolved on the model grid, so-called parameterisations. The improvement of these, rely on detailed observations of processes and analysis of them before improvements can be implemented.

(07) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: The PhD position is linked to the section for management and organization where research and teaching are conducted from the perspectives of social science and the humanities. This implies an interest to problematize and critically analyze various phenomena in modern working life, business and society, and to understand how this shapes individuals, organizations and societies. Business administration is of an interdisciplinary character, which means that inspiration is taken from sociology, political science, social anthropology, cultural-geography and other perspectives and approaches. The common interest is to understand the economic, social and political organization and governance of society. The section’s researchers conduct studies in a number of different fields and with different methods, individually and in research teams. The research environment is thus dynamic, multifaceted and evolving.
Deadline of PhD Position: 31 March 2021
(08) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: The PhD position will be part of a research project The Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence, which is conducted as part of the research programme WASP-HS and funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MMW 2020-0044)
Deadline of PhD Position: 29 March 2021
(09) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: The PhD project focuses on soil microbial processes and how they respond to climatic and land use changes. Microbial processes have global-scale impacts, including climate regulation and provision of nutrients to plants, but how microbes respond to changes in soil resources (e.g., caused by variability in soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient and carbon availability) remains challenging to understand. To address these challenges, this PhD project will explore microbial responses to climatic and land use changes through collection and analysis of published data and data-model integration.
Deadline of PhD Position: 31 March 2021
(10) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title: We invite applicants to apply for a fully funded PhD position on the topic “Ultrafast X-ray Science on supercooled water”. The PhD position will be affiliated to the Stockholm University PhD program and additionally the project will be embedded within the DESY initiative “Centre for Molecular Water Science (CMWS)”
Deadline of PhD Position: 15 March 2021
