6. Fully Funded PhD in Information Systems / Computer Science
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Second-hand electronic storage devices, such as hard drives and USB sticks, are commonly sold on dedicated online platforms such as eBay and Ricardo (in Switzerland). Although second-hand devices are more affordable and more environment-friendly than new products, the remnant data that the electronic storage devices can contain (i.e., files that the users do not delete or that can still be recovered after being deleted) could create security and privacy risks, for instance if they include malware or personal data from a previous owner (e.g., intimate photos).
The goal of the SNSF project, led by a professor of computer science (Prof. Kévin Huguenin) and a professor of law (Prof. Sylvain Métille), is to conduct both a user-centric and a legal analysis of remnant data found on second-hand storage devices. The analyses will be deeply connected, thus providing instrumental input to each other.
Application Deadline: 25.09.2024
7. Fully Funded PhD in function of HOT regions using imaging and sequencing approaches
Summary of Funded PhD Program
HOT regions (High Occupancy Target) in the genome are regions with an unusual High Occupancy of (many) Transcription factors. These regions have been suggested to affect gene expression, but exactly how this works is not clear. We have recently identified HOT regions in the zebrafish genome and these all come together in nuclear space to form a large cluster. This may provide an important clue to the function of HOT regions as these large clusters could provide a source of transcription factors, or conversely, titrate away transcription factors from genes elsewhere in the genome.

8. Fully Funded PhD in transcription cluster organization by imaging
Summary of Funded PhD Program
There is accumulating evidence for a new gene expression paradigm, in which genes and transcription factors cooperate to create specialized transcription bodies. While these bodies have gained a lot of interest in recent years, they are generally hard to study because they are small, abundant, and short-lived. A few years ago, we discovered that in zebrafish embryos, transcription begins in two transcription bodies that are large, isolated, and long-lived (Hilbert et al., 2021). These provide us with an excellent system to investigate how transcription bodies form (Kuznetsova et al., 2023; Chabot et al., 2024) and what their role is in transcription regulation (Ugolini et al., 2024).

9. Fully Funded PhD in STRIVE project
Summary of Funded PhD Program
You are part of the consortium of the project “Switzerland by bike! For an ecological and social transformation of mobility” which brings together 6 professors from 5 UNIL faculties, 3 young researchers and numerous field partners.
You are working in module 3 (What are the conditions for implementing a transformative bicycle policy?) which is supervised by Julie Pollard (political scientist) and Véronique Boillet (lawyer). This module aims to understand the gaps between political objectives, the regulatory framework, and the implementation processes of policies relating to the development of cycling.

10. Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded PhD Program
You are part of the consortium of the project “La Suisse vélo! For an ecological and social transformation of mobility” which brings together 6 professors from 5 UNIL faculties, 3 young researchers and numerous field partners. You are working in module 1 (What are the conditions necessary for widespread cycling practice among the population?) supervised by Profs. Patrick Rérat (geographer) and Fabien Ohl (sociologist).

11. Fully Funded PhD in ancient population genomics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We are looking for a population geneticist to analyze novel ancient human genomic datasets to further characterize how humans peopled regions such as the Aegean. The main project for this position includes the coordination of data generation (potentially including field trips), data analysis with existing computational methods as well as extensive simulations for validations of results. Depending on interests and skill sets, the candidate could also decide to develop novel computational methods to characterize evolutionary processes relying on time serial data.

13. 14 Fully Funded PhD in Quantitative Biology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Biological research is increasingly relying on complex data generated from high throughput methodologies, including omics and imaging datasets. Sophisticated analysis approaches are needed to extract knowledge from these data, transforming life sciences into an increasingly quantitative discipline. The University of Lausanne (UNIL) in Switzerland is at the forefront of this revolution, with quantitative research ramping up throughout the Faculty of Biology and Medicine (FBM) including a dedicated Department of Computational Biology (DBC), a Biomedical Data Science Center within the university hospital (CHUV) and interdisciplinary units such as the Center for Integrative Genomics (CIG). UNIL also hosts the headquarters of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, to which many quantitative research groups are affiliated, and closely collaborates with the polytechnic school of Lausanne, EPFL, on the same campus.
