PhD position summary/title: PhD student to join a project on gender-based violence
The research group Child Health and Parenting (CHAP) is an interdisciplinary group with the main focus on evaluating society’s efforts for children’s and parents’ mental health. Our research is conducted in projects and often in collaboration with municipalities, county councils and voluntary organisations.
CHAP is seeking a PhD student to join a project on gender-based violence. In a project funded by the Swedish Research Council, a co-designed program that trains open preschool staff and facilitates discussions about gender-based violence and associated support services will be evaluated. This includes (i) how the gender-based violence training influences open preschool staff; (ii) changes in attitudes toward gender-based violence, social support, empowerment, and service awareness among participating women; and (iii) engagement with GBV resources and service contacts in intervention vs. control areas.
The project is grounded in a participatory approach, and we see lived experience as a form of expertise. Women with relevant lived experience have been involved in the project from conceptualisation. Involving women with lived experience of gender-based violence helps ensure the research is relevant, respectful, and shaped by those it aims to support. Our research team has experience and has received training in how to work with lived experience team members and will be able to provide necessary training and support.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Materials Physics
This PhD project aims to investigate how volatile fission products — such as xenon, krypton, iodine, and caesium — concentrate, diffuse, and redistribute within various types of nuclear fuel under different thermal conditions. The core experimental approach will involve ion implantation of these volatile elements into unirradiated nuclear fuel samples, followed by elemental depth profiling using ion-beam based measurement techniques. Subsequent thermal annealing experiments will be performed to study diffusion and retention behaviours, providing quantitative insights into elemental migration. To complement these studies, a suite of materials characterisation techniques will be applied to correlate the chemical and isotopic profiles with microstructural changes induced by implantation and heat treatment. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with experts from two Swedish universities and three major companies in the Swedish nuclear industry.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in Pharmacometrics for regulatory science
The PhD position is available within the Pharmacometrics Research Group at the Department of Pharmacy, focusing on pharmacometric methods for Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD) for regulatory decision-making.
Regulatory science is critical for ensuring safe, effective, and high-quality medicines. MIDD integrates pharmacometric modeling with regulatory decision-making, improving efficiency and robustness in drug development. This project aims to (1) evaluate model-based approaches for bioequivalence and biosimilarity through simulation studies and real data analysis, and (2) integrate causal inference methods with pharmacometrics to strengthen regulatory decisions. The work aligns with ICH M15 guidelines and addresses key challenges in regulatory science. Project outcomes will support global regulatory initiatives, enhance Sweden’s leadership in this area, and contribute to the faculty’s emerging research school in regulatory science. Models and methods will be developed based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (pharmacometric) principles.
Regulatory science bridges innovation and patient access by ensuring that medicines meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. Recently published international guidelines (ICH M15) emphasize MIDD as a cornerstone for modern drug development. MIDD uses pharmacometric models to integrate drug, disease, and trial data, enabling quantitative decision-making and reducing development timelines. Despite its promise, challenges remain in model validation, bias control, and causal interpretation—particularly in regulatory contexts where decisions must be robust and transparent.

PhD position summary/title: Up to 6 PhD Students in Business Studies
Project 1: Social Capital and Innovation
The overall aim of this PhD project is to explain the role of personal ties in Sweden’s industrial breakthrough at the end of the 19th century. This PhD project investigates how personal ties and social networks among engineers influenced inventive activity during Sweden’s industrialization (1830–1936). While traditional economic history often celebrates the ‘lone inventor’, modern economic science recognizes that innovation is a deeply social process embedded in human interaction. By tracing over 15,000 engineers and linking them to more than 100,000 patent records, this project addresses a fundamental, yet unanswered, question in Swedish economic history: how did personal ties formed in engineering schools and workplaces shape inventive activity? The applicants should clearly state if they are primarily interested (and proven qualified) in performing research doing quantitative and/or qualitative research methods, such as social network analysis. We seek candidates with interest areas such as business administration, strategy, innovation studies, entrepreneurship, sociology, economics, history of technology and economic history. The successful PhD candidate will have the possibility to develop their project plans together with advisors, but a specific focus will be put on network embeddedness of engineers as inventors.
Project 2: AI in Sustainable Finance: Governance, Risks and Opportunities for Sustainable Transformation
This program examines the adoption and use of artificial intelligence (AI) by financial sector firms (FsF) in support of the transition to a sustainable global economy, while addressing tensions between AI innovation and economic, environmental, and societal objectives. The program recognises the growing interconnectedness of sustainability, sustainable finance, and AI, as FsF are increasingly required to redirect capital towards sustainable investments and align economic activities with sustainability goals, as mandated by regulatory authorities (e.g., BIS, ECB). Adopting a socio-technical approach, the program focuses on three levels of enquiry. At the regulatory level, it examines how regulatory frameworks shape the use of AI in FsF, and whether they enable or constrain sustainable transformation efforts. At the sector level, it investigates how AI is integrated into sustainability-related governance structures, and risk management and reporting processes. At the firm level, it explores how AI adoption influences decision-making processes and outcomes by affecting human behaviour and cognition. The PhD student will be supervised by experienced researchers involved in the project and will be part of a broader interdisciplinary research network. The project is supported by a reference group with expertise in AI governance, sustainability financing, and the design, implementation, and use of generative AI in financial sector firms.
Project 3: The Resilience and Reaction to Policy of Pharmaceutical Supply Chains and Networks: Integrating Network Analysis, Simulations and Artificial Intelligence
The project investigates the factors behind the resilience of drug, especially antibiotics, supply chains and how public policies can improve it. Disruptions, geopolitical tensions and structurally concentrated supply chains have increased shortages, yet research disagrees on whether resilience depends mainly on structural factors (number, location and dependence on single nodes) or on relational and network features such as governance, resource interaction and inter-chain connections. Little is known also about how specific policies—e.g. parallel sourcing, reshoring, public production—affect supply chains with different configurations.
This study maps the Swedish antibiotic supply network and links its structural, geographical and relational characteristics to shortage outcomes, comparing it with other drug classes and countries. Applying a mixed-method approach, the project integrates qualitative case studies with quantitative Social Network Analysis, simulations (Agent-Based Models) and Machine Learning/NLP (Natural Language Processing) to capture both the network embeddedness and the qualitative B2B relationship features of supply chains. The project identifies key bottlenecks, evaluates policy mechanisms, and models via simulations how chains react to interventions. Expected contributions include new insights on resilience drivers, policy impacts, and tools for managers and policymakers to improve access to essential medicines.
Candidates for this project are expected to be interested in the collection and analysis of quantitative data, and to possess or be able to develop the ability to apply advanced statistical methods and simulations. Knowledge of Swedish language is an advantage but not a requirement.
Project 4: Swedish Forestry in Transition
We are looking for a PhD student in business studies focusing on industrial marketing and procurement, with an interest in the forest sector. Together with your supervisors, you will work on a project concerning the development and dynamics of the Swedish forestry industry. It is therefore an advantage if you have previous experience in forestry operations. It is also important that you have a general interest in industrial marketing /procurement and a more specific interest in relationship, network and/or market theories.
1 position in innovation and strategy
We are looking for a PhD student interested in conducting research in the field of innovation and strategy. Uppsala Patent History Group is a leading research groups on the history of innovation and the developers of the Swedish Historical Patents Infrastructure (https://svenskahistoriskapatent.se). The group’s research centers on inventors, intermediaries in markets for technology, and the development of firms’ innovation capabilities and technology strategies in international comparison. The research draws upon different sources of information and employs a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods to understand and explain dynamics of innovation. Together with your advisor, you will develop a specific project that relates to the ongoing research at the Department of Business Studies. It is therefore important that you have a strong interest in the subject area of innovation in a general sense while having a flexible approach to developing a more specific project in collaboration with advisors. We seek candidates with interest in areas such as business administration, strategy, innovation studies, entrepreneurship, sociology, economics, history of technology and economic history.

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.
