Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Uppsala University, Sweden is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in stabilizing measures for power systems
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Small oscillations (unwanted swings) in the turbine during operation can be amplified in the generator and cause the output to fluctuate significantly and can lead to mechanical damage. In order to avoid the phenomenon, models are needed that describe reality satisfactorily. Questions can then be asked of these models about how to reduce the swinging so that our electricity system becomes even more reliable of supply and electricity producers can avoid problems in their power stations.

2. Fully Funded PhD in nutrition science
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In Sweden, the number of food poisonings is estimated to be half a million per year, but the dark figure is large. For vulnerable groups, food poisoning can be life-threatening, causing hospitalization and death, and there is no given control point that ensures consumers’ knowledge of food safety. International research shows that vulnerable risk groups may receive inconsistent, no or incorrect information about food safety from health care professionals. Inadequate knowledge of food safety reduces the ability to transmit accurate information. There is a research gap precisely when it comes to nursing staff’s knowledge, attitudes and behavior in relation to food safety.

3. Fully Funded PhD in Human-Computer Interaction
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The PhD position is located in the unit for Human-Computer Interaction and co-supervised by the Department of Game Design. The PhD is associated with the Horizon Europe project “Larpocracy: Developing Spaces for Deliberation and Democratic Skills through Role-playing.” The overarching aim of this project is to understand and enhance the capacities of live action role-playing (larp) to support civic participation and democratic skill-building, and explore how these capacities can inform the design of spaces for deliberation and political engagement both online and offline.

4. Fully Funded PhD in combinatorial optimization with applications in computerized image processing
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In this project, we focus on a special class of combinatorial optimization problems, called lexicographic max-ordering (Lex-MO) optimization problems. Our interest in this class of problems is motivated by a recent discovery made by our team: Many optimization problems that are currently considered infeasible to solve in practical time (NP-hard) can be solved in low-order polynomial time if we recast them as Lex-MO problems! This includes many problems that naturally occur in practical applications.
Application Deadline: 26 November 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD in Solid State Physics with focus on the design and investigation of novel magnetic nanocomposites for environmental applications
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In the project, we aim to synthesize and characterize functional magnetic nanocomposites and investigate their potential as nano-adsorbents and photocatalysts for the removal of pollutants from water via adsorption and/or catalysis. Solution-based synthesis techniques will be used to synthesize nanocomposites that will contain magnetic components, preferably iron oxides, to enable magnetic separation. The synthesized materials will be characterized by morphological/structural analysis, surface investigations, and detailed magnetic measurements.

10. Fully Funded PhD in spin and orbital electronics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Harnessing both spin and orbital angular momentum, electrons offer two powerful properties for advancing spintronics and orbitronics—fields poised to revolutionize information technology. This holds enormous potential for breakthroughs such as ultrahigh-density memory and precision quantum sensing. The discovery of graphene and other 2D materials has sparked innovation in these areas. This project seeks to understand and develop new charge, spin, and orbital devices, such as efficient spintronic devices using 2D materials, moving toward spin-integrated circuits, or realizing new quantum phases for advanced quantum sensors.

11. Fully Funded PhD in Medical Cell Biology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
My research also shows that the complexity and structural integrity of mucins and mucus gels with specific material properties are important to their function [1-5]. In this PhD project, the candidate will develop mucin gels with tailored properties for use as an antiviral lubricant, which can trap viral particles within the gels and excrete them from the epithelium before the viral particles reach the epithelium, and for islet transplantation, where the gels can microencapsulate islets within gel microdroplets, establish an immune-privileged niche upon transplantation, and thereby enable adequate re-vascularisation. In brief, purified mucins will be assembled into “mucus-like” gels, “stable” mucin gels, and gel microdroplets. The correlation between gel properties and bioapplications will be assessed using in vitro and in vivo biological assays.

12. Fully Funded PhD in materials science with focus on accelerated exploration of next-generation energy materials
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Automation and AI are becoming increasingly widespread in materials science, creating new opportunities for knowledge generation that can solve today’s most pressing challenges. A key area is the discovery of new materials for green energy, communication, batteries, and computing, for example. In this context, multielement inorganic materials such as chalcogenides are promising candidates for sustainable and scalable technologies. The problem is that there are many candidates to explore, and material properties are highly sensitive to synthesis methods and composition. Powerful and reliable experimental methods are required to identify and compare promising new materials among the thousands of possibilities.

14. Fully Funded PhD in Computational Materials Chemistry
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We are looking for a motivated and ambitious student for theoretical studies of ion transport in solid-state battery materials. For this purpose, the main focus is to develop a multiscale computational framework for modelling ion-conductivity in complex battery materials. This framework will be used to carry out a high-throughput screening where a large number of hypothetical materials will be studied by systematically varying its composition. The large amounts of data provided by the screening will be used to decipher important connections between material structure and conductivity by using advanced data-mining strategies and machin-learning.

15. Fully Funded PhD in Scientific Computing focusing on Computational Inverse Problems
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The focus of this PhD project is computational inverse problems, specifically ultrasound imaging. Inverse problems are the art and science of looking into a box without opening it. Mathematically speaking, in inverse problems, we reconstruct the coefficients of a partial differential equation from partial observations of a field, for instance, the acoustic pressure. In ultrasound imaging, we try to reconstruct the interior of an object from the recordings of scattered acoustic waves.
