Kalix kommun söker studenter för projekt- eller examensarbeten
Vill du göra något viktigt på riktigt? Kalix kommun söker en eller flera studenter som vill bidra till en medvetenhet om luftkvaliteten i Kalix kommun. Luften vi andas är väldigt viktig ur ett hälsoperspektiv. Det är känt sedan länge att vissa föroreningar som finns i luften är hälsofarliga. Därför måste kommunerna vara medvetna om vad luften i städerna innehåller och rapportera detta till naturvårdsverket varje år. Hittills har Kalix kommun rapporterat värden som tagits fram i en rapport över luftkvalitet som gjordes i länet 2015. Under 2018 och 2019 har nya EU-direktiv tagits fram där bland annat fler ämnen än tidigare ska rapporteras. Kommunen behöver därför göra en ny inledande kartläggning och objektiv skattning av luftkvaliteten. Läs vidare om detta låter intressant för dig!

PhD position in landscape epi / genomics, INRAE and SYSAAF, France
Genetic diversity is crucial for populations to adapt to various environments. These adaptive capacities are of major importance in the light of the ongoing climate change that will drastically affect the environmental conditions, influencing biotic (feed, diseases and pathogens distribution) and abiotic components (temperature, rainfall,...). Livestock, in particular, are likely to suffer from these issues and numerous studies are ongoing to improve animal adaptation to harsher environmental conditions. In this context, local chicken breeds appear to be an option to consider studying, as they represent a large reservoir of genetic diversity valuable for adaptation. Here is a PhD position meant for such studies.
PhD: Genetic and epigenetic spatial population structure of local chicken breeds
Institutes: INRAE (French National Institute for Research on Agriculture and Environment), i collaboration with SYSAAF (French National Association for Aviculture and Aquaculture)

Three PhD fellowships on the Biological Production and Consumption of Volatile Compounds, University of Copenhagen
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on local and regional climates. Yet, there is high uncertainty of this impact due to the lack of reliable estimates for natural emissions and uptake of these reactive volatiles. All organisms produce, and some consume, mixtures of diverse volatile compounds such as VOCs, reactive nitrogen gases (e.g., HONO), and sulfur/halogenated compounds (e.g., DMS and methylhalides). However, biological sources and sinks of volatiles, other than terrestrial plants, remain poorly characterized. VOLT (The Center for Volatile Interactions) focuses on VOC transformations associated with soil, cryptogams, freshwater, seawater, and glacial ice environments, as well as plant leaf and rhizosphere microbial communities. These PhD positions will encompass field, experimental, and laboratory work and include rate measurements, experiments with stable isotopes, and molecular analyses to assess volatile production/consumption processes and identify the organisms involved.

Master thesis on biocompatible and bioactive hydrogels for biomedical applications, KTH/KI
Cells are embedded in extracellular matrix gels whose molecular composition and material properties differ from organ to organ. These gels not only accommodate cells to construct functional tissues but also provide physiochemical and physiological biological cues to the cells to ensure their activity and optimal function. Synthetic bioactive hydrogels that could reconstruct such microenvironments in vitro or in situ have a wide range of biomedical applications, including tissue regeneration and regenerative medicine. These bioactive hydrogels can be developed by conjugating bioactive motifs to polymers or using bioactive polymers to construct hydrogels. This master thesis aims to develop such synthetic bioinspired hydrogels and explore the relationship between the material properties and their functions. More details in the pdf!

PhD student in Biology: epidemiology and eco-evolutionary biology, SLU Alnarp
Herd immunity is a form of indirect protection from disease that occurs when a sufficient percentage of a population becomes immune to infection through e.g., vaccination, thereby reducing the likelihood of infection for individuals who lack immunity. The concept of herd immunity was developed within the science of human epidemiology and has never been fully explored in relation to crops. The first aim of this project is to investigate whether herd immunity can be obtained in crop plantations through speckled use of 1) resistant cultivars, 2) biological control (Aureobasidium pullulans) and 3) chemical fungicides (Switch). The second aim is to investigate whether use of these speckled measures creates selection mosaics with evolutionary micro-refuges for the pathogen, thereby preventing it from evolving counter-resistance. Garden strawberry infected by Botrytis cinerea (causing grey mould) will be used as a model system.

PhD student in Microbiology – Giardia’s interaction with host cells, ICM, UU
Until now bacteria have been the main focus of studies of intestinal microbiomes but eukaryotic microbes are also members of the microbiomes, creating the eukaryome. Some enter transiently, causing acute infections and disease (parasitic infections, e.g. Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia). Other members colonize the digestive tract more stably and have beneficial effects on health, most likely as immune- and microbiome modulators (e.g. Blastocystis). This PhD project aims to gain a detailed understanding of how human intestinal parasites cause disease and manipulate the immune system. The main model organism in this project will be the pathogenic intestinal parasite Giardia intestinalis, which both causes disease and manipulates the immune system, but also bacterial intestinal pathogens such as Salmonella will be used for comparisons.

PhD position on oaks, insects & microbes at Stockholm University
Questions that this project will aim to answer are: Where do microorganisms associated with plants come from? Are they inherited from the mother plant through the seeds, or are they acquired from the environment? How will plant-associated microorganisms affect the assembly of the insect community? What are the drivers that structure plant-associated multitrophic food webs, and do the structuring forces differ between microorganisms and macroorganisms? To answer these questions, one has to link studies on the micro- and macrobiome across spatial and temporal scales. One useful approach is to focus on a diverse community associated with a keystone species. In this project the pedunculate oak Quercus robur will be that keystone.
