PhD position summary/title: MSCA-Doctoral student in Chemical Engineering on membrane processes for biofuel production
The project focuses on optimizing downstream processing in biorefineries, specifically targeting biofuel production, e.g. bioethanol and biobutanol. A key strategy involves submerging forward and/or hydrophobic pervaporation membranes directly into the fermenter to facilitate continuous fermentation and enhance the concentration of biofuels/biochemicals. Additionally, inducing vibrations in the membrane bioreactor mitigates fouling on the membrane surface, ensuring sustained effectiveness. The optimization of biofuel production processes aims to achieve maximum yield while minimizing energy demands for subsequent rectification processes. The downstream processing is optimized by consolidating insoluble material removal, product isolation, purification, and pre-concentration into only two operational units, thereby increasing overall efficiency. The project also includes techno-economic benchmarking to compare the sustainability and energy demand of the novel hybrid downstream processing concept with current biobutanol and bioethanol production processes, using different substrates as reference points. Anticipated outcomes include the development of an efficient downstream processing concept using biobutanol as a reference system, overcoming current biorefinery challenges, and supporting the potential electrification of biorefinery processing.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral Students in Automatic Control
We are hiring two doctoral students for two different projects:
1) “Synthesizing Second-Life Batteries: A Heterogeneous Control Approach” funded by the Swedish government COMPEL – COMPetence for the ELectrification of the transport system.
Background: Batteries are central to supporting the renewable energy transition. However, there is a significant environmental and financial cost associated with the production of new batteries. The potential of repurposing retired batteries from various applications, such as electric vehicles, for use in areas like grid support, presents a unique and sustainable avenue to reduce these impacts and accelerate the use of batteries. This project aims to explore the feasibility of assembling used batteries, no longer fit for their original purpose, to create ‘new’ batteries that can provide robust grid support. The basic idea is to connect many smaller, retired batteries to create a larger, heterogeneous battery. By exploiting advanced control theoretic techniques developed for interconnected heterogeneous systems, methods will be developed to quantify the capabilities and capacities of this hybrid battery, optimizing them for the new application domain.
2) “Scalable Optimization for Learning in Control” funded by ELLIIT, a strategic research area for IT and mobile communication.
Background: Large-scale engineering applications put new demands on control theory, as most existing methods for analysis, design and verification do not scale well with increasing complexity. Furthermore, new powerful algorithms for machine learning are increasingly being used for control engineering purposes, further adding to the complexity of analysis and verification. To counteract this, there is a strong demand for scalable algorithms and corresponding information interfaces. Important applications areas are networks for energy, transportation and communications. The purpose of the proposed project is to address the complexity challenges by developing and exploiting new algorithms suitable for distributed implementation.

PhD position summary/title: 1 Doctoral studentship in Human Ecology
The doctoral candidate program amounts to 240 credits (equivalent to four years of full-time study). It formally ends with the doctoral candidate publicly defending his/her printed doctoral thesis. The holder of a doctoral position has as primary obligation to successfully fulfill the third cycle education ending with a PhD degree. Regulations concerning appointment as a full-time doctoral student can be found in the Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 5, 1-7 §§.
The holder of a doctoral position is expected to participate actively in the research and teaching environment of the department and may have to perform departmental duties, above all teaching, amounting to about 20 percent of full time.
This call recognises that the world is going through a crisis of unprecedented global scale engendered by a dominant regime that has resulted in deepening inequalities, increasing deprivation in old and new forms, the destruction of ecosystems, catastrophic climate change, ruptures in socio-cultural fabrics, and the violent dispossession of living beings.
However, there is an increasing emergence and visibility of an immense variety of radical alternatives to this dominant regime, contesting its roots in capitalist, patriarchal, racist, statist, and anthropocentric forces. We are seeking doctoral candidates who are interested in researching the broad question: What does anti-colonial/capitalist/patriarchal transformation look like and how are human-nature relations being reconfigured to support this?
Communal alternatives ‘from below,’ while different in scale and reach, constitute multiple forms of resistance and struggles for re-existence revealing other horizons of the possible – a world where many worlds fit. These include initiatives with a specific focus like sustainable and holistic agriculture, community led water/energy/food sovereignty, solidarity and sharing economies, worker control of production facilities, resource/knowledge commons, and inter-ethnic peace and harmony, to more holistic or rounded transformations such as those being attempted by the Zapatista in Chiapas and the Kurds in Rojava. Alternatives also include the revival of ancient traditions and the emergence of new worldviews that re-establish humanity’s place within nature, as a basis for human dignity and equality.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Biology
The overall goal of the PhD project is to better understand how the environment affects genetic and phenotypic variation, and how these insights can be used to improve predictions of evolution.
Evolutionary change happens constantly all around us. This contemporary evolution can allow populations to adapt and persist, or contribute to their decline and extinction. Which of the two it will be is often unclear because current methods to predict microevolution work poorly in natural populations. Considering the global environmental crisis, this is particularly alarming. A key cause of the predictive inaccuracy is environmental variation.
This PhD project will investigate environmental effects on additive genetic (co)variances, narrow-sense heritabilities, and evolvabilities. Additionally, as resource availability is a crucial aspect of the environment in many species, it will evaluate to what extent including information on individual resource accrual can reduce environmental bias. The project will combine quantitative genetic experiments in a newly established, state-of-the-art fish research laboratory with analyses of long-term field data, using the well-known Trinidadian guppy system. The successful candidate will have a keen interest in evolutionary biology, quantitative genetics, or related fields. A curious mind, a sense of responsibility, and excellent organisational skills are strong additional merits for the position.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Biology
The major theme of this PhD project is to test key hypotheses in life history, telomere ecology and ageing research, using a songbird as study system. The aims are to conduct detailed studies of key life stages, such as early-life and annual events (breeding investments, migration costs (efforts and infections)), to investigate how these will affect body maintenance (e.g., telomere shortening/elongation) and ultimately ageing and fitness. Key questions are, for example: Can moderate costs (e.g., accrued from migration and breeding efforts) induce ‘scars’ that remain ‘hidden’ but accumulate over life eventually causing severe problems reducing lifespan and fitness? Are early-life conditions crucial in setting out the foundation for these processes and the pace of life?
The PhD student will generate new and work with already collected samples and data in the 40 years long-term study system of the great reed warblers (GRW) of Lake Kvismaren. In Lund, the daily work will involve analysing samples in the DNA lab (DNA extraction, qPCR to measure telomere length, multiplex PCR to measure malaria infection) and using statistical tools to analyse large long-term data sets. Each year, there will also be several months of intense fieldwork at Lake Kvismaren, in Närke (southern Central Sweden), involving daily observations of all singing and breeding GRW, finding all nests, collect blood samples from all adults and their nestlings, and gathering data of breeding performance and survival of all individuals. Hence, the project is an excellent opportunity to learn both wet (DNA) lab techniques, statistical methods, and fieldwork techniques.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in geophysics
A doctoral student position in Geobiosphere Science is hereby announced at the Department of Geology, Lund University (LU), Sweden. The PhD position will be part of the ERC project “Core dynamics on millennial timescales (PALEOCORE)”. In this project we will use new models of how Earth’s magnetic field has varied through time, based on geological and archeological data, to study ancient analogues of the present-day geomagnetic field and reveal the underlying processes within the (hidden) liquid core of our planet. Age uncertainties of paleo-data are one of the main challenges with this project and a fundamental challenge for paleo-reconstructions in general. To overcome the issue, we will use novel modelling techniques whereby the slowly varying morphology of the geomagnetic field, which we are trying to recover, is simultaneously used to synchronize the different datasets in time. The methods and results from this project will not only be of benefit for our understanding of the geomagnetic field but will also provide important geochronological constraints that are necessary to study, for example, leads and lags in paleoclimate.
