PhD position summary/title: PhD student in scientific computing focusing on earthquake modeling
The topic of this project is modeling and simulation of earthquakes. All earthquake models contain partially unknown parameters, such as seismic wave speeds and frictional parameters on a fault. Since direct measurements of these parameters remain infeasible, we have to use seismometer data and other indirect measurements to constrain the parameters. This inverse problem is the main focus of the project. In close collaboration with geophysicists at Stanford University, we have recently developed a framework to invert for frictional parameters. The project goals are to extend the framework to different kinds of geophysical data and to implement the new methods in efficient software to facilitate earthquake simulations of with realistic physics and complex fault geometries in 3D.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral (Phd) position in Solid State Physics, with focus on the synthesis and study of next-generation sustainable magnets
The most powerful permanent magnets are based on rare earth metals, which are classified as both rare and strategic, meaning both scarcity and high price. In this project, we develop sustainable magnets using new synthesis methods and establish their utility through detailed magnetic measurements. The synthesis includes nanocomposites and metal alloys free from, or with a very small content of, rare earth metals. One goal of the project is to experimentally realize new alloys and compounds that, from calculations, are predicted to have high performance as permanent magnets.
Sweden has some of Europe’s largest ore deposits of rare earth metals with potential for mining. This project includes magnetically characterizing samples found in geological surveys to discern natural ore compositions that could be used for the synthesis of new rare earth magnets, thereby bypassing or reducing the number of steps for separation of the useful chemical elements.
The project is a collaboration between the Division of Solid State Physics at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Division of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry – Ångström, as well as the Department of Earth Sciences, all at Uppsala University.

PhD position summary/title: 1-2 PhD students in Molecular Biophysics with a focus on ultrafast imaging with X-ray lasers
Conformational dynamics are crucial for the functioning of most macromolecules and a deeper understanding of these motions holds great promise for future discoveries in biology. But it is difficult to probe the structure of macromolecules away from their most stable conformations, and time-resolved studies remain limited by the available techniques. Since the first X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) were proposed, the idea of obtaining images of individual proteins frozen in time has fascinated and inspired many, and we have been at the forefront of this quest. The combination of advances in XFEL technology with new instrumentation has brought the dream of imaging hydrated single proteins by X-ray diffraction within reach. The overall aim of this PhD project is to develop the science and technology to help make ultrafast single-protein imaging a reality, by (a) developing diagnostics suitable for nanosized samples, (b) design and build new sample delivery instrumentation to enable single protein X-ray diffraction experiments, (c) perform and analyse time-resolved single protein imaging experiments. The project combines experimental with computational work. This is a truly interdisciplinary research area that brings together physics, biology and data science.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Computing Science focusing on Automated Verification of Numerical Code
Numerical software is widely used to model, simulate, predict and make decisions in applications across different domains such as data analysis, weather forecasting, physics, or engineering. Ensuring that such software is correct is important, but non-trivial. One approach to do so is to employ rigorous automated verification that proves at compile-time that a program computes for all valid inputs what it is expected to. However, automated verification of numerical programs over finite-precision (e.g. floating-point) numbers is currently limited. Finite precision introduces rounding errors w.r.t. an ideal, real-valued specification and poses unique challenges for verification of program accuracy and other kinds of desirable properties.
The goal of this thesis project is to develop a rigorous verification approach and tool for real-world numerical software. The project will explore, develop and combine different static and dynamic verification techniques with the ultimate ambition to make it easier for developers to write correct numerical code. The developed techniques will be implemented in a practically usable tool, for example building on the LLVM framework.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Scientific Computing
As a PhD student in this project you will be able to focus on multiscale problems with applications in quantum physics. We are interested in simulating Bose-Einstein condensates which are formed when a gas of Bosons is cooled to ultralow temperatures. Bose-Einstein condensates are of great interest when studying quantum effects such as superfluidity and the closely related phenomena of superconductivity.
Multiscale problems are encountered in many different applications. For instance, when physical behavior like heat diffusion is modeled in a composite material. Typical for these problems is the rapid variation in the material properties throughout the domain, which results in partial differential equations with rough and discontinuous coefficients. It is well known that classical finite element methods do not perform very well for this kind of problems. To overcome this issue there exist a range of different methods, one of them is Localized Orthogonal Decomposition. This method focuses on enhancing the classical finite elements by using data from the problem.

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.
