2. Fully Funded PhD in Sustainable Organic bioelectronics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This project explores blends with majority-content insulating polymers to increase the sustainability and impact of organic semiconductors for bioelectronics. The work is highly interdisciplinary, including materials development, characterization, and evaluation as core components in electrochemical transistors. It will address several research challenges, from understanding the complex interplay between materials chemistry and the microstructure of the films to evaluate their performance and stability in electrochemical devices.
Application Deadline: 20 January 2025
3. Fully Funded PhD in Inorganic Chemistry for Divalent cation inclusion in Prussian blue
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This project will develop the fundamental understanding required to realise the potential of Prussian blue analogues as positive electrodes for divalent-ion batteries. Prussian blue analogues are a popular choice for Na-ion cathodes, with competitive energy densities. Initially, the candidate will explore different routes to synthesising Prussian blue analogues with divalent cations, and characterise their structures. Once a compound with divalent cations has been synthesized, its electrochemical response will be explored. At the end of the project, the candidate will have gained valuable experience in synthesis, material characterisation, and electrochemical measurements.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Environmental Science, atmospheric aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This PhD project aims to contribute to our understanding of the key processes governing the life cycle of aerosols and clouds, and their close interplay with atmospheric circulation, meteorology, water vapour and chemistry. The successful applicant will develop numerical modelling tools for describing atmospheric aerosol dynamics, chemistry and their links to cloud hydrometeor microphysics. This PhD project will contribute to the improvement of theoretical and numerical models describing aerosol dynamics, cloud microphysics and eventually the climate system by developing, testing and evaluating numerical schemes for models of varying levels of detail, including e.g. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models and Earth System Models (ESM) along with detailed process models.
Application Deadline: 12 February 2025
9. Fully Funded PhD in Political Science with an orientation towards International Relations and Comparative Politics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We are offering a PhD position as part of two research projects: “Democracy, Autocracy, and International Cooperation,” funded by the European Research Council (ERC), the Swedish Research Council (VR), and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and “Hiding in Plain Sight? International Monitoring Missions in Authoritarian Regimes,” funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR). The PhD thesis is expected to relate to the overarching question of why, how, and when countries’ political systems promote or limit international cooperation, with a focus on different dimensions and policy areas within international cooperation. The research projects are connected to both comparative politics and international politics and utilize a combination of quantitative, qualitative, and experimental methods.
