10 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lund University, Scania, Sweden

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be responsible for developing and implementing two newly established microscopy techniques: so-called smart microscopy, and an image analysis method for extracting high-resolution information from microscopy images. The work will include cell culture, organoid/spheroid preparation, confocal microscopy, live-cell imaging, and super-resolution microscopy. The postdoc will also be responsible for image processing using custom-developed code and software, as well as data analysis and manuscript preparation.

The research will be conducted within the research group Innovations in Pediatric Mental Health, led by Associate Professor Matti Cervin in collaboration with Professor Eva Serlachius. The postdoctoral researcher will be based at the research clinic within the child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in Skåne, where Dr. Cervin works daily. Dr. Cervin will supervise the postdoc regarding tasks connected to two large externally funded research projects involving both experimental testing and evaluation of interventions using randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs. The research projects include an RCT evaluating models of care within CAMHS, and a longitudinal study on the development and prevention of mental disorders during childhood and adolescence.

The Cardiovascular research – Translational studies is studying cardiovascular disease with a focus on biological differences that underlie acute complications such as heart attacks and strokes. The research is translational and includes studies of human tissue and several in-vitro models. The group has for many years been at the forefront of the field and has established collaborations with several international research groups.

The group, led by professor Isabel Goncalves and associate professor Andreas Edsfeldt, consists of postdocs, doctoral students, bioinformatics and laboratory engineers with both clinical and preclinical backgrounds. The group is located at CRC in Malmö.

Lund University announces a two-year fulltime postdoc position in second language acquisition with a focus on different aspects of the psychology of language learning. The position is connected to the research platform Language Acquisition, Multilingualism, and Teaching (LAMiNATE), and is located at the Centre for Languages and Literature, division of English, Lund University.

LAMiNATE is a cross-disciplinary interdepartmental research platform dedicated to all areas of language acquisition, multilingualism, and language teaching/assessment. It brings together approximately 40 researchers. Research in the platform covers language acquisition and language processing (first, second and multilingual); multimodal language processing and learning; developmental language disorders; educational linguistics and language teaching, testing and assessment; and language, learning and the brain.

The Biomechanics group is part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering. The interdisciplinary research is focused on understanding the link between mechanics and biology in the musculoskeletal system, including related pathologies and repair of skeletal tissues. Experimental tissue characterisation methods, imaging and computational simulation techniques are applied on direct problems in orthopaedics to develop better methods to understand and improve repair of musculoskeletal tissues. 

The group encompasses about 15 scientists (PhD students, post-docs, researchers and teachers) and is located at the BMC-building (biomedical center). The expertise includes computational and experimental mechanics of biological tissues, where a large part of the experimental work takes place at large scale facilities, using imaging, scattering and spectroscopy-based techniques. The group strives for an inclusive environment based on collaboration and trust, where development towards an independent researcher is largely encouraged and supported.The research is connected to the LTH profile area Engineering Health.

This position is a part of the project “Hycogen 2 System perspective for efficient hydrogen production and use by sector coupling to district heating”

When converting electricity to hydrogen through electrolysis, 30% of the energy go to heat losses. The EU’s goal of producing 10 million tonnes of hydrogen per year by 2030 means 230 TWh of residual heat, corresponding to four times Sweden’s total district heating energy. It shows the potential and importance of using the heat surplus in future investments. Hycogen 2 shows in how it can be implemented both at national and EU level. Hycogen 2 analyzes and proposes solutions for how hydrogen production, with sector connection to district heating and/or cooling, can be designed and controlled with respect to operating temperatures, cooling system design etc. to maximize overall system energy efficiency and benefit to the electrical system. Integrated hydrogen systems should be designed so the residual heat will be of larger use based on local conditions. The residual heat can thus enable a significant fuel substitution at the same time as the entire energy system becomes more robust.

The position provides an opportunity for an early-career researcher to spend two years developing their individual research agenda and leading their own research initiatives within a multidisciplinary research environment. The subject field is strategy and for this position studies are focused on innovation processes within the food industry, particularly such that relate to alternative protein sources.

The Department of Business Administration brings together scholars from a range of research areas within business administration, including business finance, entrepreneurship and innovation studies, financial and management accounting, management, marketing, organization studies, and strategic management, studying organizations in a broad societal perspective. The Department reflects the multidisciplinarity of business administration and the diversity of research traditions characterizing the academic field. 

Over the coming decades changes in ecosystems due to climate change, land-use driven changes, as well as continued direct anthropogenic emissions will all play a role in the extent of global temperature rise. In 2023 the greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring community was set a challenge through the approval by the World Meteorological Organisation’s Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (GGGW) to understand GHG fluxes at unprecedented resolution. This endeavour will require continued improvement of measurements, data processing and interpretation activities – making the most of existing infrastructure and data sources, while also trying to expand to geographical areas with currently limited coverage. We seek to support this area of work through employment of a postdoctoral scientist to bring the diverse measurement sets across different platforms in Sweden to enable the most efficient use of data across our combined monitoring infrastructure.
