PhD position summary/title: Two PhD positions in Curriculum Studies
The Department of Education (EDU) provides research and study programmes at doctoral, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as contract education, in the research subjects Curriculum Studies, Education, and Sociology of Education. At EDU there are several Master programmes. EDU has around 250 employees, of which 174 are teachers/researchers, 45 are doctoral students and 30 are administrators. More information about the department is available at http://www.edu.uu.se/.
Curriculum studies (Swedish/German: Didaktik, French: Didactiques) as a field of research and area of knowledge deals with matters relating to the content of education and teaching. The subject of curriculum studies is deeply rooted in both scientific traditions and teaching practices. The research questions which constitute the core of curriculum studies arise at the meeting point between specific subject-matter and teaching and learning of that subject-matter. It is therefore of interest to study, for example, the content of the teaching and what justifies the selection of that content, who the teaching is aimed at and how their learning process works, how the subject-material is handled in the teaching and who has power over the selection process.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Scientific Computing focusing on numerical simulation of earthquakes
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: Doktorand med fokus på omhändertagande vid ALS
Det övergripande syftet med projektet är att undersöka hur personliga assistenter till personer med ALS ser på sin arbetssituation och vilket behov de har av utbildning och stöd. Projektet avser också att undersöka hur personer med sjukdomen ALS och deras närstående ser på arbetet som personlig assistent. Att arbeta som personlig assistent innebär ofta att arbeta ensam hemma hos den sjuke och vara ansvarig och kunna ta snabba beslut i vissa lägen. Närstående har ofta en central roll när det gäller vården av personen med ALS, och det är inte ovanligt att någon i familjen eller en vän också blir personlig assistent. Det finns inga krav på medicinsk utbildning för att arbeta som personlig assistent, trots att ALS är en progressiv sjukdom som ofta kräver högteknologisk vård. Målet med detta forskningsprojekt är att inhämta ny kunskap som kan bidra till att rekommendationer och riktlinjer kring utbildning och stöd utarbetas. Detta förväntas bidra till ökad trygghet hos såväl den personliga assistenten som patienten och dennes familj under sjukdomens progress.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Machine learning for computational linear algebra
In this project, the doctoral student will explore the potential for accelerating sparse linear algebra with machine learning, specifically graph neural networks. Sparse linear algebra is pivotal in solving large-scale computational problems but requires experts to carefully craft algorithms on a case-by-case basis. Our approach provides an alternative, more accessible, route to highly efficient solvers with the potential to have a major impact throughout science and engineering. The underlying idea is to leverage the inherent graph structure of sparse matrices to create graph neural networks that learn task-adapted algorithms from a dataset of computational problems. Through this integration of machine learning with sparse linear algebra, we hope to unlock unprecedented efficiency and scalability in solving sparse linear systems.
The exact details of the project will be decided in a dialogue between the student and supervisor. Potential directions include (1) developing techniques for learning task-adapted iterative methods for sparse matrices, (2) developing techniques for learning task-adapted multilevel graph representations, and (3) scaling these techniques to realistic, large-scale computational problems. There are ample opportunities for spearheading method development through our collaborations in radiotherapy, medical imaging, additive manufacturing and battery chemistry.

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.
