18 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Uppsala University, Sweden

The Medical Inflammation Research (MIR) Group led by Prof. Rikard Holmdahl at the department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology (IMBIM), Uppsala University, aims to improve human health by identifying the regulatory pathways of autoimmune diseases.  A basis of this research some of the major genetic polymorphic alleles associated with autoimmune diseases in experimental animals have been identified and unique mouse strains developed.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead and coordinate projects with a focus to understand Ncf1 polymorphism, regulating reactive oxidative species production, and its role for regulation of autoreactive B cells. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading experts, access cutting-edge resources, and contribute to transformative discoveries that can shape the future of autoimmune disease treatment.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is located in the Ångström Laboratory and employs nearly 400 people, around 100 of whom are doctoral students.

The division of X-ray Photon Science is world-leading in the use of advanced spectroscopy methods. This puts us in the forefront in atomic-level studies of atoms, molecules and condensed matter. This division includes the research programme Condensed Matter Physics of Energy Materials, with a special focus on studies and development of materials, surfaces and interfaces of interest for different energy applications, and therefore also the development of a sustainable society. We are a diverse and collaborating research group that shares the same general goal of unraveling and controlling the mechanisms that take place in complex systems related to photovoltaics, batteries, fuel cells, and catalysis. The postdoctoral position is placed at the research program Condensed Matter Physics of Energy Materials and the project involves collaborations with specialists in battery materials research.

For centuries, the so-called Viking Age (c.750-1050 CE) has been subject to political misappropriation and projected, monochrome stereotype – making it all the more urgent to emphasise that the people of the time were individuals as varied and complicated, in every way, as ourselves. This spotlight on diversity, in all senses of the term, lies at the heart of the WIVA Centre: our objective is to recover a Viking Age that does not care what we think of it, a pluralistic past as it was (hard though that can be to access), not as anyone might wish it to have been. The notion of a Norse diaspora has now become commonplace in studies of the period, but also requires deconstruction. Our focus is the world in the Viking Age, an arena of mutual interactions, contacts and cultural feedback, subtly different from the more familiar ‘Viking world’. Moving past the Eurocentric notions of a ‘western’ and ‘eastern’ Viking Age, it is possible to perceive the finer grain of Scandinavian cultural encounters. We aim to explore the full span of the extended, Afro-Eurasian world of the Norse, looking primarily south and east along the so-called Silk Roads, tracing their activities in networks of early globalisation that connected the Baltic to the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, Asia, and the eastern seas – places where the Scandinavians were as often in a minority, but also at a disadvantage.

We are now seeking to appoint three postdoctoral Early Career Researchers to full-time positions, fixed-term for two years. Duties include up to 20% teaching and supervision, alongside 80% dedicated to personal research on themes related to the Centre.

In parallel with these postdoc positions, we are also seeking a number of International Visiting Researchers (advertised separately). A new interdisciplinary, two-year MA degree programme will also be launched, The Global Viking Age. All these activities will be supplemented by seminars, workshops, informal contact events, and public outreach. Finally, WIVA is an invitation, not a fixed entity. The Centre is not a research project, but rather a home and a hub for them, as well as a base for teaching. We will populate WIVA with projects, programmes, and people, and we hope that others will wish to join us on this exciting journey.

As a member of the FASTCORR project, you will work with first-principles theory aiming at understanding and predicting non-equilibrium physics of light-matter interaction and ultrafast dynamics at the femtosecond and sub-femtosecond timescales. The project is carried out in close collaboration with world leading experimental groups using pump-probe measurements. To understand the origin of measured observables enables us to address fundamental questions of materials science as well as improve our theoretical models. This post-doc project is aimed at using and developing time-dependent density functional based methods to address non-equilibrium physics where e.g. electronic, magnetic and structural degrees of freedom are strongly coupled. 

We are looking for a person who has a PhD in physics, is a specialist in hadron physics and has experience in particle tracking. Furthermore, the person should have experience either in Belle II or in hyperon physics (for example hyperon structure, spectroscopy or decay studies). Since the researcher will participate in doctoral supervision, they needs to have demonstrated independence as a researcher through their own physics projects. Good oral and written proficiency in English is necessary, as well as the ability to function in a group.

This project focuses on the development of porous organic materials (POMs) and their composites for energy and environmental applications. We aim to establish green synthesis approaches for a range of porous organic materials, including covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Additionally, we will process these materials and their composites into freestanding forms such as membranes, monoliths, and aerogels. These advanced structures will enable their applications in separation and purification, energy harvesting, and storage.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in population genomics. The postdoctoral researcher will work with computer-based analysis methods and large databases to develop theory and method for using aggregated data from human genomics with the focus on understanding the human past. Based on population genomic perspectives, the proposed postdoctoral project should be able to illuminate various aspects of human history, including admixture, introgression and trait architecture.

Are you interested cutting-edge genomics technologies and eager to contribute to developing methods at the forefront of life science? We are seeking a motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Research and Development (R&D) team at the Uppsala node of the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI), part of SciLifeLab (www.scilifelab.se). NGI is one of the largest academic providers of next-generation sequencing technology (NGS) and SNP genotyping services in Europe, offering world-class technologies and support to researchers across Sweden and beyond. At NGI, you will be part of a dynamic environment with access to a broad range of instruments, high throughput automation, and strong computational expertise (https://ngisweden.scilifelab.se/).

The postdoctoral researcher will perform theoretical investigations and computationally-based modelling within condensed matter physics. Currently, within the group there is a strong focus on ultrafast out-of-equilibrium dynamics, laser-induced ultrafast spin dynamics, generation of non-equilibrium orbital and spin currents, and simulations of superconductivity in real materials.

The researcher is expected to perform theoretical investigations as well as to do computationally-based modelling within the research area of theoretical condensed matter physics, with a special focus on modelling of ultrafast spin currents, theory for light-induced dynamical processes, THz emission, non-equilibrium lattice dynamics and theory for current-induced spin dynamics. The research tasks include the development of theoretical models and computer simulation programs to simulate ultrafast non-equilibrium spin currents and high-frequency spin dynamics in antiferromagnetic and topological spintronic materials, and simulation of THz emission. Various computer programs (like Density-Functional Theory and spin dynamics codes) will be used in the modelling of non-equilibrium spin currents and induced spin dynamics. In the project that is headed by Prof. Peter Oppeneer the candidate is offered the possibility to work in an exciting modern research area in condensed matter physics and will have opportunities to interact and collaborate with leading experimental and theoretical groups and industry in Europe.
