PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Environmental Science on aerosol-cloud interactions in climate models
The interplay between aerosol particles and clouds represents one of the largest sources of uncertainty in our understanding of the climate system. Aerosols of both natural and anthropogenic origin influence cloud formation, lifetime, and radiative properties by acting as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei — yet the processes governing aerosol particle formation, processing and interactions with clouds remain poorly constrained. Reducing this uncertainty is highly important for improving projections of past, present, and future climate.
This PhD project will in particular focus on aerosol process representation and evaluation in the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) and how these processes impact climate. The project offers certain thematic flexibility and will be shaped in dialogue with the successful candidate, but will be within the realm of analysis of long-term in-situ observational datasets to evaluate and constrain model representations of key processes, development of a new and innovative sectional aerosol scheme in NorESM, and/or investigation of the climate-scale impacts of aerosol-cloud interactions using model simulations.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Environmental Science, focusing on corruption in EU Chemical Regulation
The thesis work will be conducted within the framework of the project “Exposing and Overcoming Corruption in EU Chemical Regulation: An Interdisciplinary Approach”, funded by Swedish government research council for sustainable development FORMAS.
This project aims to investigate the prevalence of corrupt practices in the regulation of chemicals in the EU, to provide tools for detection and prevention, and to identify strategies for effective enforcement in cases of law violations. The central challenge is designing a regulatory framework that addresses the systemic vulnerabilities enabling corruption, rather than merely rectifying individual cases of misconduct. This project employs an interdisciplinary approach by integrating legal science and toxicology expertise from the onset, generating knowledge and societal impact unattainable by each discipline independently.
We will test hypotheses based on initial findings using a unique empirical core: a collection of 56 industry-funded developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) studies of pesticides. The toxicology perspective utilizes novel cross-study intra-laboratory analysis to evaluate the exclusion of datasets, which would constitute violations of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). It also cross-compares study inventories (EU versus USA) to quantify non-submission rates of toxicity studies, and will quantify the prevalence of reporting biases through a novel typology. Simultaneously, the law science perspective will analyze identified violations against existing EU legislation (including GLP Directives) and international OECD guidance. Qualitative document analysis will also be used to assess how stakeholders influence regulatory protection levels during law development.
Expected results include the systematic characterization and quantification of corrupt activities and the development of freely available data analysis tools for use by regulators and scientists. The project will deliver detailed suggestions for necessary changes in law, guidance text, and pathways toward more effective enforcement.
Overall, improved chemical regulation supports sustainable development by protecting public health and the environment from avoidable harm. Short-term impact includes identifying specific previously unrecognized chemical hazards and communicating these immediately to relevant agencies, such as EFSA and ECHA. Long-term benefits involve providing tailored legal text and strategies to address structural issues and systemic vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening the entire regulatory system and facilitating prevention and dissuasive enforcement.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Prebiotic Chemistry and Carbonate Geochemistry
This PhD project investigates how abiotic organic molecules, synthesized under plausible prebiotic conditions, interact with mineral surfaces on the early Earth to yield some of the earliest organomineral structures preserved in the geological record. The central aim is to elucidate the organic geochemical pathways through which simple organic compounds polymerize into organofilms, modulate carbonate precipitation, and generate distinct organomineral textures that may constitute early biosignatures.
Working in close collaboration with a Postdoctoral researcher specializing in the organic synthesis and geochemistry of organofilms, the PhD student will take an active role in the preparation and organic geochemical characterization of abiotic organic matrices, including the synthesis of organofilm precursors from simple molecular building blocks, and will conduct organomineralization experiments under controlled environmental conditions. Analytical approaches will include chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques (e.g., GC-MS, LC-MS, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy) alongside mineralogical methods, applied within laboratory systems designed to simulate early Earth environments including fluctuating redox conditions, wet–dry cycles, and interactions with mineral surfaces.
Beyond laboratory work, the project includes a comparative component involving field observations in the Atacama Desert, one of the closest natural analogues to the extreme, intermittently wet settings thought to have existed on the early Earth. Samples and observations from the field will help place the laboratory experiments in a broader geological context.
Over the course of the project, the student will receive comprehensive training in organic geochemistry, prebiotic chemistry, carbonate biogeochemistry, and organomineralization processes while working within an international research team. This work will advance our understanding of the processes operating during the early stages of life’s emergence, shedding light on the distinctions between biosignatures and organosignatures, as well as between bio- and organoproxies, and how these signals may be identified in the geological record on Earth, and potentially on other planets.
The successful candidate will carry out the PhD research in close partnership with the University of Fribourg (UniFR) and the University of Connecticut, under the co-supervision of Dr. Dupraz (Stockholm University) and Prof. Anneleen Foubert (UniFR).

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Materials Chemistry with a specialization in cost effective separation of carbon dioxide
In this project, you will research new materials and scrubbing fluids for carbon dioxide capture using aminated nanoparticles, polymers, or colloids. The hypothesis is that these can bind carbon dioxide in a way that reduces the heating requirements to release the carbon dioxide in a later process step. This significantly reduces the energy requirement compared to today’s materials and scrubbing fluids and probably reduces the risk of the formation of harmful emissions of degradation products from these materials and fluids during cyclic use. The focus will be on thermochemistry, phase diagrams, and mechanistic issues. There is the possibility of adapting the project to your interests and knowledge.
The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council and is being carried out in close collaboration with Prof. Jiayin Yuan’s group at Stockholm University and Prof. Christophe Duwig’s group at KTH.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Environmental Science: Safe & Sustainable Space Exploration
This PHD thesis project will be conducted within the Swedish Space Research School (www.kth.se/ssrs), with funding from the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA).
Planetary Protection regulations promulgated by the Committee on Space Research set limits for microbial contamination of celestial bodies, particularly those that may harbor extant life (e.g., Mars). Chemicals and materials are currently not specifically regulated, but may also cause “harmful contamination” as defined in the Planetary Protection regulations. This project aims to develop an exposure-based approach to define “safe” chemicals and materials for use on Mars and other celestial bodies, and to lower exposure potential (and therefore risk) to any possible extant life and natural abiotic processes.
The research will involve adapting chemical and material exposure assessment models that have been developed for Earth’s environment to the Martian environment, and scenario-based modeling to analyze alternative societal and policy development options for space exploration and colonization. Findings will be summarized as a set of policy recommendations for the COSPAR guidelines on Planetary Protection that will extend its scope to include chemicals and materials.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Molecular Biosciences
The human intestine contains a highly diverse microbial community, including bacteria, archaea, and single-cell eukaryotes. Yet, many cross-species interactions are tightly restricted by the human immune system. For example, immunoglobulin A antibodies can cross-link microbes with similar surface molecules. This can trap these microbes into species- and strain-specific aggregates, which limit their cross-species interactions and genetic exchanges, including the intercellular spread of bacteriophages. However, once expelled from the human body, these microbes can enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), were the aerated and mechanically mixed microbial reservoirs allow for unique cross-species interactions. Thus, WWTPs are an ideal environment were bacteriophages can evolve a broader range of host specificities, and such evolved bacteriophages would be ideal for antimicrobial therapies in the future.
This PhD project aims to systematically map the evolving host-range of novel cross-species bacteriophages within WWTPs and to identify unique receptor-binding-domains variants that enable such promiscuous target-cell interactions. This would hopefully unlock new strategies for engineering synthetic bacteriophages for both precision-targeted and broad-range antimicrobial therapies. The successful PhD candidate will use a combination of recently developed cutting-edge synthetic biology, cell-encapsulation and single-cell Nanopore sequencing technologies to investigate cross-species interactions within WWTPs. Building on these methods, the successful PhD candidate will also aim develop their own methodologies for tracking and genotyping bacteriophage-infected cells within these diverse microbial communities.
