PhD position summary/title: Two PhD positions in ecology, focusing on plant community ecology and ecosystem processes in northern Sweden
The projects will focus on interactions of plant communities with belowground and aboveground ecosystem processes, and their responses to environmental factors (such as wildfire, nutrient availability, climate change and biodiversity loss) in natural boreal forest and subarctic tundra in northern Sweden, through the use of both environmental gradients and ongoing term experiments. Through the use of these study systems, we anticipate one student focusing primarily on ecological interactions involving nutrient availability and the other on ecological consequences of plant biodiversity loss, although there is quite some flexibility around this. The projects will include both field work over the summer and autumn months, and corresponding laboratory work, data analysis and writing. While it is our intention that the students work on these systems, the scope of the project work is deliberately broad, and is adaptable to suit the specific interests of the students that are appointed. These projects would be ideal for anyone intending to specialize in community or ecosystem ecology with a focus on natural ecosystems. The principal supervisor of these theses will be Prof. David A. Wardle at Umeå University and the work will involve collaborators at both Umeå University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in ecology with a focus on the role of (deep) root dynamics in permafrost-climate feedback
Permafrost soils contain twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, which they have protected for millennia. As arctic temperatures soar and the rate of permafrost thaw accelerates, there is a growing concern about large carbon losses from permafrost soils into the atmosphere. Even though around 80% of plant biomass in the arctic tundra is belowground, the crucial role of roots in carbon cycling remains unquantified. Roots can promote new carbon storage but also stimulate losses of old soil carbon. Here, deep roots are likely to be disproportionally important, as they increasingly interact with newly-thawed, vulnerable soils. Yet, few studies include root measurements, particularly in deeper soils. In this project we will quantify the role of deep roots in the carbon-climate feedback from thawing permafrost soils by using a long-term field experiment combined with a complementing microcosm experiment. The results will define the importance of root dynamics in deep soils and strongly improve our ability to predict feedbacks from arctic tundra to climate change.

PhD position summary/title: PhD-student in medical science
Radiotherapy plays a critical role in the fight against cancer and is used in about half of all cancer cases. Its aim is to precisely target radiation to cancer cells, while trying to minimise damage to surrounding tissues and organs at risk as much as possible.
Today’s radiotherapy presents several challenges, most of which relate to how treatment can be tailored to each individual patient. A key part of this is to accurately segment tumours and risk areas in images of the patient. Recently, artificial intelligence-based tools have revolutionised this traditionally time-consuming task by offering automated segmentation. However, there is still much to explore, such as how these models can be applied to real-time segmentation during patient movement, and how uncertainties can be calculated and used to develop more robust treatment methods.
This research project addresses these challenges and investigates what the next step is, i.e. how treatment plans can be created and verified in real time to adapt to the patient’s position and anatomy.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Computing Science with focus on Cybersecurity
The multilayer cloud-edge continuum poses several challenges, such as smart placement, workload prediction and relocation, energy usage prediction, and security for critical applications and infrastructures. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is one of the critical threats that disrupt the benign services provided by servers based on distributed resources across the Continuum. The key security challenges faced by existing methods, particularly when it comes to DDoS attacks and defence strategies for the cloud-edge continuum. Challenges include unlimited reassignment of resources for microservices under attack, slow reaction time, lack of methods for validation in real environments, and weak kernel architecture in virtualised instances. Moreover, understanding the underlying differences between occasional benign load spikes and massive or stealthy DDoS attacks is unexplored in the cloud-edge continuum. Where machine learning (ML) is deployed both for optimising performance (benign adaptation) and attack detection (DDoS), security researchers face the problem of considering the compound effect of each ML component’s uncertainty.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in computational science
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Ph.D. student in computational science to join our research team. In recent years, the life sciences have experienced an explosion of data from a variety of sources, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and imaging technologies. While statistical and machine-learning approaches have been widely used to extract valuable insights from this data, they can only provide correlations between critical variables, not cause-and-effect relationships. To make reliable predictions, we need such relationships. As a result, there is an increasing need for mechanistic models that can integrate diverse data sets and provide a deeper understanding of biological processes. This Ph.D. position is focused on developing and applying such models to advance our understanding of complex biological systems. The successful candidate will work at the interface of computational biology, systems biology, and biophysics and will have the opportunity to collaborate with experimentalists and computational scientists across a range of disciplines.
The Ph.D. student will join the Computational Biology group, which is a part of the interdisciplinary research environment Integrated Science Lab (Icelab) at Umeå University. The group’s research projects cover diverse topics, including biological networks, gene regulation, epigenetics, intermittent search problems, polymer physics, and DNA folding in the cell nucleus. We are also collaborating with earth scientists using network models to calculate CO2 emissions in the Arctic. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to some of these topics but will also be free to develop their own research within the broader context of the group’s research agenda. The Computational Biology group is known for its collaborative and innovative research environment, and the successful candidate will be expected to engage with the group’s experimental collaborators in Sweden and abroad, including ongoing collaborations with researchers in Korea.
