PhD position summary/title: PhD position in grid connection of renewable energy systems, with a focus on power electronics.
The integration of renewable energy in the electrical grid is increasing. One key difference for the grid connection of traditional electric power production such as nuclear power and hydropower, that dominate the Swedish grid, and renewable energy, is that the generator can be synchronously connected to the grid. For intermittent energy sources, such as ocean, wind and solar energy, the connection has to be made using as intermediate step with power converters. By grid connecting using power converters, the inertia from the generator is not transmitted to the grid, leading to an electrical grid more sensitive to differences in produced and consumed power, causing frequency fluctuations.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Linguistics subfield language description
The aim of the project is a modern documentation/description of the Sumuri language [ISO 639-3 tcm; Glottocode tana1288] in the form of a grammatical description, audio and video corpus along with a lexical database and transcribed text collection. Sumuri is spoken by approximately 500 adults in twelve villages villages near the Tofoi, Otawiri (upper reaches) and Aroba rivers in Teluk Bintuni regency on the north of the Bomberai peninsula in Papua, Indonesia (lat: -2.5523, lon: 133.17979). Sumuri is being replaced by Malay/Indonesian and is no longer being passed on to the next generation. Although links to the Mairasic languages and further to Trans New Guinea languages have been suggested, Sumuri appears to be a language isolate. The successful PhD candidate will bring the project to fruition through fieldwork in situ, supported by the PI. The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR 2022-02378).

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Medical Science
The research project will be carried out within the MigraMed research program. The doctoral project will mainly focus on longitudinal follow-ups on previously surveyed values and moral opinions. Cross-cultural studies on value and opinion change may also be conducted using the same theoretical framework (Moral Argument Theory). The aim is to identify the individual characteristics (education, core values, etc.) and environmental factors (employment, contact with different population groups, etc.) that most affect how an individual’s values and moral opinions change. We will also study the speed and direction of opinion change, and how this depends on the way in which different opinions connect to more fundamental values. Tasks will include collecting survey data, conducting quantitative analyses, and writing scientific articles that report the results. Concurrently with completing these research projects, the PhD student will complete both obligatory and elective coursework and is expected to take part in research meetings at the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health.

PhD position summary/title: Two PhD students in translational metabolism research
Type 2 diabetes is a growing public health issue globally. The disease is characterised by progressing beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance. Obesity has long been recognised as an important factor driving insulin resistance and the development of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In addition to its role in energy storage, adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that secretes several factors that communicate with other organs, importantly including the brain. The overall purpose of this project is to identify novel mechanisms in the interplay between the brain and peripheral tissues, particularly adipose tissue, as well as crosstalk between other organs which can contribute to development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this context, we will use several different approaches:

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.
