Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral position (2 years) in Aquatic Ecology – Environmental drivers of fish top consumer growth, production and size structure
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the international research project “Holistic evaluation and restoration measures of human impacts on freshwater ecosystems across biogeographical gradients (FreshRestore)”, co-funded by the European Commission (https://www.biodiversa.org/1587) and Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Globally, lake ecosystems are under anthropogenic stress (e.g. climate change, land use and fishing). A key challenge is to understand and predict how freshwaters over gradients of catchments respond to different stressors, and to gain knowledge how to preserve and restore these ecosystems. FreshRestore will develop integrative models to predict population and food web levels consequences of natural environmental drivers and anthropogenic stressors using ecological population- and statistical models and large data sets of lake abiotic parameters, fish communities and food webs across biogeographical gradients in Fennoscandia, combined with information on climate, land- and water-use, and mitigation efforts (e.g., habitat restorations). The ecological and socio-economic models will facilitate evaluation of the cost-efficiency of different nature-based solutions and elucidate how to improve biodiversity in lakes through different implementations. The consortium includes partners from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Spain. The project includes funding for travel costs allowing the postdoctoral researcher to visit the project partners, participate in field activities and to join scientific meetings.

(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post doctor in NMR-based structural biology
This postdoctoral position is part of a Swedish council financed research project to unravel the regulation of programmed cell death at the molecular level with focus on the structure of the proteins and biological membranes involved in this important process. Important key players in the mitochondrial (intrinsic) cell death pathway are membrane-active proteins of the Bcl-2 family. The main objective of this project is to understand the function – and underlying structural properties – of these proteins and their interactions with the mitochondrial membrane environment. For this purpose we will use structural biological methods focusing on solid-state NMR spectroscopy of lipid-protein complexes, complemented by liquid-state NMR. In addition, we will also use neutron reflectometry on these lipid protein complexes). You will primarily study the membrane bound Bcl-2 proteins and their mutual interactions. In addition, you will also be supporting NMR based work on human protein kinases which can be involved in human cancer, in part, through their regulation of Bcl-2 proteins.

(05) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position with focus on federated learning
The rapid increase of autonomous systems, connected devices, and distributed applications pose challenges in dealing with petabytes of data in diverse resource-constrained environments. Federated machine learning (FML) is collaborative learning to handle these problems without sharing data with centralized servers. However, several emerging threats target FML training, learning, and inference to fail or mislead models at early learning rounds. Attackers aim to break trustworthiness under different threat models such as insiders-outsiders attacks, semi-honest or fully malicious participants, and attacks in training, learning, or inference phases. As a result, the learning models fail to provide acceptable performance. Therefore, this project aims to develop and implement trustworthy federated learning algorithms for scarce and diverse non-iid (independent identically distributed) data under non-standard and adversarial settings, which are ideally suited for constraint environments and edge computing infrastructures. These goals can be achieved by inducing unique features in federated learning algorithms such as decentralized training, optimal device selection, secure learning and inference, fault-tolerance against failures and attacks, as well as resilient, fair and robust models. The ambition is to validate them in classical non-standard settings and apply them to solutions for constraint environments (i.e., Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), healthcare systems) and edge infrastructures. Potentially, teaching up to a maximum of 20% can be included in the work tasks.

(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in digital companions as social actors
The aim of the overall project is to investigate the impact of semi-autonomous intelligent systems as digital companions and social actors on human activity in order to inform the design and development of such systems. We will in particular investigate the impact from the perspectives of purposeful activity, social order and roles, motivation, empowerment, emotional wellbeing and sustainable behaviour change for improving health in daily life. Problems to be addressed include how systemic theories about human behaviour, emotions and motivation can inform and advance the knowledge models, reasoning models and automated learning of the digital companion, how can mechanisms for collaboration and companionship be understood, designed and developed, and how can the system collaborate with the human while balancing initiative, autonomy, responsibility and conflicting goals.
