06 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stockholm University, Sweden

The Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in extragalactic astronomy in the group of Dr. Adamo. The Department of Astronomy has around 90 employees. The main research areas are Galaxies, Supernovae, Computational astrophysics, Solar physics, and Planets and Stars. Stockholm University has access to a range of facilities including ESO and ESA membership. 

The postdoctoral fellow will be join a strong and long-standing research program focusing on the interlinkages between severe air pollution and climate change in South Asia. To reduce uncertainties, there is need for field-observation-based constraints.  This project is focused on leveraging multi-isotope techniques (e.g., δ¹³C, δ²H, δ¹⁸O, Δ¹⁴C) to advance constraints on the sources and atmospheric fate of key target gases such as methane, carbon monoxide and others in the highly perturbed atmosphere of South Asia. The combination of strategically located regional source and receptor sites with advanced isotope techniques will allow detailed characterization of sources, atmospheric reactions and overall constraints of their atmospheric lifecycle.

The position will be associated with the project “Design of chemical reagents for fast and sensitive detection of pesticides in water and food” funded by Stockholm University Centre for Circular and Sustainable Systems (SUCCeSS) and is carried out collaboratively between Department of materials and Environmental Chemistry and Department of Organic Chemistry.

The Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Extragalactic astronomy. The Department of Astronomy has around 90 employees. The main research areas are Galaxies, Supernovae, Computational astrophysics, Solar physics, and Planet and star formation. Stockholm University has access to a range of facilities including ESO, LSST, and NOT membership, and the Galaxies group leads several major research campaigns with the Hubble (HST) and James Webb Space Telescopes (JWST), and ESO/VLT.

The postdocoral position will be part of a 4-year research program Transformative partnerships for sustainable development: Assessing synergies, effectiveness and legitimacy of UN multi-stakeholder across SDGs to achieve the 2030 Agenda, funded by the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development (Formas). The program is led by Professor Karin Bäckstrand at the Department of Poltical Science at Stockholm University and the Institute for Future Studies together with researchers at Lund University and Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. The overarching aim of the project is to examine if, how and when multi-stakeholder partnerships can contribute to the implementation of 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To answer these research questions, the project employs a mixed-method design by combining qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze multistakeholder partnerships across the world and related to environmental, social and economic dimensions of UN:s global goals.

The Department of Zoology invites applications for a researcher position within the division of Population Genetics, based at the Centre for Palaeogenetics (CPG) in Stockholm. The position is funded through a 10-year research programme from Swedish Research Council, aimed at analyzing ancient DNA on a million-year timescale with the goal to investigate the processes of speciation, adaptation and hybridization, and how these relate to past environmental change.
