Master degree project on cancer and AI-driven image analysis, IMBIM, UU

Interested in learning how changes in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) may help explain the spread of cancer cells during metastasis? It is already known that some cancers lead to dramatic cancer- and aging-induced vascular and stromal changes in TDLNs. In this new project the focus will be on pancreatic cancer, which has not been studied in this regard but is one of the most difficult tumor forms, with very poor survival and where immunotherapy so far has had limited success, for reasons that are not yet fully understood. How the cancer changes the environment in the TDLNs may be one piece in the puzzle to understand this.

PhD in urban evolution of Lepidoptera, University of Bremen, Germany

This PhD studentship will participate in a project studying how seasonal plasticity of butterflies, specifically Pieris napi, is evolving in cities. Urbanization can alter the relationship between photoperiod and the seasons both because cities tend to be warmer than their surroundings (the urban heat island) and light pollution in cities can lengthen photoperiods. Both can disrupt the use of photoperiod as an adaptive cue for plasticity, unless evolution can alter the response to photoperiod.

PhD thesis proposal on vaccination in free-range chicken, INRAE, France

Vaccination is one of the most efficient preventive methods to fight infectious

Degree project on optimizing cryo-EM for structural determination of transient conformational states, ICM, UU

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo- EM) is nowadays routinely used to determine structures of biological macromolecules. However, the traditional sample preparation approach typically limits the number of structural states that can be captured. Many proteins perform their function/structural transitions within milliseconds. New sample preparation approaches are thus needed to allow time-resolved studies that also capture the short-lived active intermediate conformations. Capturing these conformations is critical to understand the macromolecules' function completely and could potentially be key for developing novel therapeutics that target the transient states. Here is a chance to be part of developing a cryo-EM plunge-freezing device that will allow time-resolved experiments using a mixing-and-spraying approach by doing a degree project using the replication-transcription complex of SARS-CoV-2 or the bacterial topoisomerase enzyme gyrase.

PhD student in environmental analysis with focus on climate risks to water supply, GEO, UU

Climate-related risks to water supply are increasing in many places of the world. Although Sweden is often considered to be a water-rich country, it has suffered severe water shortages over the past summers, especially in the southern regions. Droughts, torrential rains, floods and landslides can affect water supplies through water shortages, water pollution and physical damage to infrastructure. In order to quantify current and future risks to water supply, Sweden needs an improved understanding of how climate-related risks (floods and droughts), water flows (precipitation, runoff, evaporation) and water reservoirs (lakes and aquifers) change over time and space. The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University is now seeking a PhD student for studies of these issues.

Microbiota for life history analysis in mosquitoes, ICM, UU

Insects are virtually omnipresent, populating a huge variety of ecological niches on the planet. However, insects are themselves ecological niches, populated by many different microbes that form their microbiota. In this project you will be investigating how the microbiota of different insect species is influenced and shaped depending on their geographical location, but will also in the process uncover the limits of some of the methodologies that are routinely used to investigate microbial data. The project is principally suitable for a bioinformatics master degree project, but could possibly also be adapted for a shorter course format.

PhD student in Immunophysiology, UU

Circulating and fluctuating ovarian hormones are known to regulate the menstrual cycle, but the involved self-renewing mechanisms and cellular contributions within the stem cell niches are largely unknown. In fact, the localization and characteristics of endometrial stem cells still remains to be defined, as does the functions of the immune cells, which at times constitute up to 70% of the endometrial cellularity. Based on previous findings of immune cells including neutrophils and macrophages being important for repairing injured tissues, this project now wants to investigate what these cells do during the endometrial injury-repair process with specific focus on their interactions with the stem cell niche. The overarching goal with this research is to generate knowledge that can be used for the development of treatments of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and endometriosis.
