PhD position summary/title: PhD position in Evolutionary Genomics
Global estimates suggest that less than 5% of the true fungal diversity is currently described, largely because the majority of the up to 5 million fungal species on earth have no visible fruiting structures and cannot easily be cultured using established methods. Because the hidden majority of species defy established protocols for species recognition, we cannot effectively communicate about the majority of fungal species, many of which are frequently and abundantly detected in environmental samples. The proposed project uses species hypotheses built on environmental DNA (eDNA) data for targeted high-resolution microscopy and single cell genomics to infer evolutionary history and life cycle dynamics of hitherto undescribed fungal species and lineages.
We are looking for a PhD student who will study hidden fungal diversity. The project focuses on the Archaeorhizomycetes which, based on environmental DNA data, is a species rich and abundantly occurring class of soil and root associated fungi. The project aims to contribute important basic understanding of species diversity and genomics in this ubiquitous group of fungi. It is also conceptually important for developing protocols for modern fungal taxonomy with eDNA as an important source of data for species discovery and recognition.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in psychology
The PhD position is a part of a multidisciplinary research project on the economy of cybersecurity, financed by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency. The purpose of the project is to contribute to a perspective on cybersecurity based on complementary insights from economical and psychological research.
The PhD student will work with research on the psychology of cybersecurity, primarily by empirically studying cyber-risk judgments. Risk and uncertainty are important factors in cybersecurity; one will never be able to create entirely secure systems because new threats arise at the same rate that new security solutions are developed. By examining the psychological factors that affect cyber-risk judgments we can find ways to facilitate behaviors that minimize risk as much as possible while also maintaining a reasonable balance between risk and benefit.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in the Ullenhag research group
A PhD student position is open for a highly motivated candidate interested in cancer immunology and immunotherapy in the research group of Gustav Ullenhag, Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology, Uppsala University. The PhD position will be part of the National ATMP (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product) research school. The PhD project will be performed in close collaboration with the research group of Angelica Loskog. These two research groups have a shared interest in the development of cancer immunotherapies based on immunomodulatory adenoviral vectors. These adenoviral vectors usually carry immunomodulatory transgenes to induce anti-tumoral immune responses and may also have the ability of selective lysis of tumor cells, so called oncolysis. Together the research groups cover all the steps of developing an immunotherapy from scratch to bringing it into the clinic. Thus, the research is highly translational working from the bench to the bed side and back again. The groups are presently involved in several ongoing and recently finished clinical trials with the adenoviral vector LOAd703 being tested in pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal, biliary cancers as well as in malignant melanoma, in combination with various chemotherapy drugs and also checkpoint blockade.
One project for the PhD student will be to, in pre-clinical cancer models, evaluate the combination of LOAd703 with a large panel of small molecular drugs including but not limited to new targeted cancer therapies. The aim is to search for synergistic/additive effects between the virus and these drugs. Another focus will be to develop new adenoviral vectors with other transgenes and to evaluate these in in vitro and in vivo cancer models. Finally, a third project will be to develop an in vitro model to study the effect and mechanisms of adenoviral vectors in a human ex vivo model containing all factors and cells normally present in the tumor microenvironment, including infiltrating immune cells. This in vitro system will be based on malignant ascites from ovarian cancer patients and the read-out will be detailed multiplex analysis of soluble and intracellular proteins as well as RNA analysis on the single cell level.
The successful candidate will focus mainly on research but teaching and administrative work within the department can be included in the employment (maximum 20%). The time of the PhD education will be extended with the time spent on such tasks to achieve four years of full-time graduate studies. During the PhD studies the student will also attend courses of which some are mandatory courses from the Faculty of Medicine, Uppsala University and some are mandatory courses from the National ATMP research school. The National ATMP research school will also organize other teaching events.

About Uppsala University, Sweden –Official Website
Uppsala University is a research university in Uppsala, Sweden. Founded in 1477, it is the oldest university in Sweden and all of the Nordic countries still in operation. It has ranked among the world’s 100 best universities in several high-profile international rankings during recent years. The university uses “Gratiae veritas naturae” as its motto and embraces natural sciences.
The university rose to pronounced significance during the rise of Sweden as a great power at the end of the 16th century and was then given a relative financial stability with the large donation of King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century. Uppsala also has an important historical place in Swedish national culture, identity and for the Swedish establishment: in historiography, literature, politics, and music. Many aspects of Swedish academic culture in general, such as the white student cap, originated in Uppsala. It shares some peculiarities, such as the student nation system, with Lund University and the University of Helsinki.
Uppsala belongs to the Coimbra Group of European universities and to the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. The university has nine faculties distributed over three “disciplinary domains”. It has about 44,000 registered students and 2,300 doctoral students. It has a teaching staff of roughly 1,800 (part-time and full-time) out of a total of 6,900 employees. Twenty-eight per cent of the 716 professors at the university are women. Of its turnover of SEK 6.6 billion (approx. USD 775 million) in 2016, 29% was spent on education at Bachelor’s and Master’s level, while 70% was spent on research and research programs.
Architecturally, Uppsala University has traditionally had a strong presence in Fjärdingen, the neighbourhood around the cathedral on the western side of the River Fyris. Despite some more contemporary building developments further away from the centre, Uppsala’s historic centre continues to be dominated by the presence of the university.
