The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University is Sweden´s largest and most versatile department of its kind. We are approximately 280 employees at the department. Our activities are interdisciplinary and combine natural science and technology with social science. We have research programs in air, water and landscape science; geophysics; natural resources and sustainable development; petrology, mineralogy and tectonics; paleobiology, and wind energy. By investigating the history of Earth, we understand how our planet has developed over time and how sustainable development benefits from this knowledge.

The position is part of the ERC Starting grant project HORNET on practically usable automated verification and debugging techniques for numerical programs. These programs are widely used in safety-critical systems, data analysis, weather forecasting, physics, engineering and more, but verifying and debugging their accuracy and reliability today is challenging due to rounding errors and limitations of current tools. One aspect that this project focuses on is accuracy of finite-precision programs with respect to a real-valued (and thus error-free) program specification. Possible concrete research directions that the postdoc can be involved in include automated program verification, specification inference, fault localization, practical usability, etc. in the context of numerical finite-precision programs. The projects typically include both the development of novel techniques, as well as implementations that can be practically used. The postdoc candidate is expected to work both independently and in collaboration with other group members and external collaborators.

The lab focuses on understanding the evolution of genomes and the genetic basis of adaptation in fungi. We recently discovered that many fungi harbour massive transposable elements, named Starships, that mobilize a vast diversity of fungal genes. We have now deciphered how the Starships move within genomes, but a growing amount of evidence suggests that they are also capable of moving between genomes. The main goal of the position is to demonstrate in a laboratory setting the horizontal transfer of a Starship between different fungi. This will be done by genetically modifying model strains so that successful transfers can be screened at high throughput on selective media. 

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering aims to be an environment for successful and valuable research and education with a focus on materials science solutions for important societal challenges. Our department is an exciting workplace with research in a broad technology-related area, from basic research to large-scale applied research, and with close contacts with students through the department’s involvement in engineering and master’s programs. Our research and teaching are conducted within seven divisions with different research focus.

This a multidisciplinary project with the aim of creating therapeutic solutions to promote the healing of chronic wounds. The focus is on developing a new generation of wound healing peptides and explore strategies for the incorporation of the novel peptides into nanocellulose-based wound dressings. The research activities include the functionalization of nanocellulose materials with the novel peptides, followed by the evaluation of the functionalized materials in terms of physicochemical and biological properties. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with researchers at the Dept. of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, Uppsala University (Prof. Ulf Göransson research group) and at the Dept. of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell biology, Karolinska Institute (Prof. Annelie Brauner research group).

Additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D-printing, has enabled not only a complete freedom-of-design of components, but also the development of alloys with new compositions and with tailored microstructures, potentially allowing for lower material and fuel usage in the case of light-weight alloys, and corrosion rates that are more adequate for use in temporary implants. However, process parameter development for AM is complex, time-consuming and very costly, including high amounts of material and energy waste, and even more so for particularly challenging alloys such as Mg-based ones, which require substantial research efforts. In this project we will develop machine learning models to i) enhance the efficiency of the process development, as well as to ii) develop a better understanding between process parameters and the resulting microstructure, as applied to Mg-based alloys. These alloys are promising for applications in the aerospace and transport industry, as well as biomaterials.
