(02) Fully Funded PhD Position:
Summary of PhD scholarship: This project will aim to better understand the 36Cl behaviour in ice cores in order to assess the potential for reconstructing past climate conditions (e.g. snow accumulation rates) and to use 36Cl, together with other cosmogenic radionuclides, for absolute dating of the lowermost ice recovered within the Beyond-EPICA project. The project will make use of the full suite of chemical analyses performed on the ice core recovered within the Beyond-EPICA project.

(04) Fully Funded PhD Position:
Summary of PhD scholarship: The project is about coherent spectroscopy of new quantum solar energy materials. The weight here is on spectroscopy while the materials will be mainly made in collaboration with other groups. We will apply multi-pulse ultrafast spectroscopy and make use of the coherence between the pulses. We will also investigate the possibilities how to use quantum light (entangled photons) and pulse shaping in spectroscopy. The work will mainly be experimental. We will be using and improving the existing multidimensional ultrafast spectroscopy experimental setup.

(06) Fully Funded PhD Position:
Summary of PhD scholarship: The research project ‘Mutual legal and economic conditions for successful integration (Ömsesidiga rättsliga och ekonomiska förutsättningar för lyckad integration)’ is underway at the Faculty of Law. The project includes research on the economic conditions and consequences of integration, the subsistence requirement for family reunification, labour law and welfare law aspects concerning migrants and the legitimacy of taxes. In addition, the Faculty of Law has a strong research environment in migration law.

(07) Fully Funded PhD Position:
Summary of PhD scholarship: The research project aims to analyse and interconnect multiple legal areas that affect the integration of asylum-seekers and refugees: migration law, refugee law, human rights law, EU law, anti-discrimination law, labour law, family law and welfare law. Human rights law will be at the core of the analysis. The most important questions to answer to understand how the selected relevant legal frameworks find a balance between conflicting interests (those of the migrants and those of the host society) and the different considerations that might manifest themselves in the area of integration, are the following: What obligations do these legal frameworks impose for facilitating migrant integration?

(09) Fully Funded PhD Position:
Summary of PhD scholarship: To increase the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms for what happens at a drying interfaces in self-assembled systems. We and others have previously shown that it is possible to create thin nanostructured lipid films at the drying air-water interface. In this project, the PhD student will investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms for this in well-defined model mixtures containing lipids and surfactants.

(11) Fully Funded PhD Position:
Summary of PhD scholarship: The doctoral position mainly concerns experimental research on laser-driven acceleration of electrons to high energies, utilization of strong field gradients in laser-produced plasmas, and generation of intense X-rays utilizing these electron pulses. The research will also include experiments that take advantage of the unique properties of these rays, e.g. the extremely short pulse lengths of the electron and X-ray pulses, within e.g. applied radiotherapy. The research is an integral part of an ongoing successful and long-term research program at the Department of Atomic Physics.

Summary of PhD scholarship: This project develops and adapts a method to improve precision of diagnosing Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The method uses artificial intelligence (AI) based on natural language processing and machine learning to analyze open-ended text responses. The open-ended method is referred to as computational language assessments (or semantic measures), whereby respondents answer questions with free text responses that are analyzed with state-of-the-art AI.
