PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Materials Physics
The PhD project will focus on the structural manipulation and synthesis of 2D materials. Within the project, the student will use ion irradiation to functionalise 2D substrates with defects. They will then use ultra-low energy ion implantation to introduce metal atoms to the systems. By controlling both processes, the student explores the formation of atomically thin metallene layers. The structures are characterised at the atomic scale using spectroscopy and high-resolution electron microscopy and their properties are mapped. The investigation aims to shed light on the atom scale growth process of thin metal layers on 2D substrates. By controlling the synthesis spatially, the metallene layers are studied for their properties as electrical contacts. The high-quality source-drain contact in a semiconductor device is critical for its performance and operation as well as sustainability. The chemical interactions at the interface of the nanomaterial and the electrode govern everything.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in biogeochemistry
Most living biomass across the biosphere is comprised of organic matter (OM) that is 50% carbon-based. When decomposing in a liquid state as dissolved organic matter (DOM), it can pass across biological membranes and is a vital source of energy recycled back to living biomass. When degraded by aerobic microbes, DOM produces atmospheric CO2, a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. The amount of time it takes for DOM to degrade is highly variable, spanning from minutes to millennia, and remains perplexing to predict. The uncertainty associated with predicting rates of DOM degradation remains one of the greatest barriers to projecting how the global carbon cycle might change in the future. Thus, an unresolved question central to biogeochemistry is: What controls the rate of DOM degradation? This PhD project aims to link functionally relevant characteristics of DOM to functional traits of the microbial community under variable kinetic scenarios. While the project will be conducted within a limnology program, the questions we ask in this project are relevant to freshwater, soil and marine ecosystems. The project aims to develop highly technical chemical and biological approaches to answer ecologically meaningful questions. The chemical and biological approaches are described briefly below.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in physical geography with focus on the future of the Greenland Ice Sheet
The PhD student will work in a project funded by the Swedish National Space Agency, with the main aim to generate new bed height and thickness maps for the Greenland Ice Sheet, and to simulate the evolution of the ice sheet up to 2300. To achieve this, a novel, fast and versatile inverse approach will be used that infers present-day bed topography under the ice, and simultaneously provides initial conditions for prognostic modelling. After recent applications on mountain glaciers in the Arctic and sub-Arctic (see e.g. Frank and Van Pelt, 2024; Van Pelt and Frank, 2025), and an ongoing application to all mountain glaciers on Earth, in this project the method will be optimized for use on the larger Greenland Ice Sheet, while making use of the newest high-resolution satellite data products. To speed up ice flow modelling, a new machine-learning based ice-flow emulator will be trained with input and output data from the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM). This ultimately allows modelling the present and future of the ice sheet with unprecedented spatial detail and reduced model uncertainty, thereby contributing to reduced uncertainty in sea level rise predictions for a range of future emission scenarios.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in meteorology
The rapid development of the offshore wind industry and decrease in cost is a realistic recourse to reach 100% renewable systems. However, in local or regional energy system the fluctuation of energy might be problematic. Wind farms could potentially handle power fluctuations by using, e.g., storage systems by hydrogen, that also can be used by other applications and provide an important contribution to green transition. To understand how utilize these techniques it is imperative to possess high-fidelity time series describing the wind flow that can be achieved by using large-eddy simulations (LES).
Atmospheric flows are inherently complex, and the importance and need to understand atmospheric flows increase as climate change continues to intensify and create unseen atmospheric conditions. Scientists and engineers develop and employ advanced computational models to simulate the atmosphere, but even with the most advanced modeling achievements, the amount of generated data to analyze required to get a statistical base for an overall understanding is very challenging and requires novel data driven methods.
This PhD project is a part of the project “WHYBS – Wind and Hydrogen systems” where two PhD students are participating. The PhD project focuses on the overall understanding of large-scale wind energy potential and will provide input to the other PhD project how large offshore wind farms can provide energy for hydrogen production that can be used for storage, used by the transport sector, or by large-scale industrial applications.

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.
