Master thesis on the decomposition of organic matter, IEG, UU

Organic matter (OM) in soils, peat, and sediment are important global carbon sinks. Processes that control its persistence and degradation are critical for the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane. Hence, it is important to understand how certain mechanisms change along environmental gradients, examining the role of environmental and molecular constraints on OM degradation. In this master’s thesis, you will use elemental analysis in combination with bomb calorimetry to assess the potential for decomposition of organic matter across a broad spectrum of ecosystems. The main aim is to develop and refine methods to measure the oxidation state and bulk energy of soil organic matter.

Doctoral student in Ecology/Fish Ecology, Linnaeus University

The timing of life-history events such as migration and reproduction (i.e. phenology) influences the environmental conditions that organisms experience during these stages, and can affect reproductive success and survival. Timing life-history stages to match whenever conditions are suitable is thus crucial for the success of individuals and populations. With environmental conditions and seasonality currently changing due to climate change, there is an urgent need of improving our understanding of whether and how environmental change, across and within years, may result in phenological mismatches with impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function. This 4-year, fully funded, PhD project investigates the consequences of changing environments on phenology, life-history traits, migration patterns, habitat utilization and species interactions of Baltic Sea coastal predators (e.g. pike, perch and cormorants).

Master thesis project on quantitative phase imaging (QPI), SciLifeLab, UU

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an ideal method to non-invasively study the optical phase delay (or phase retardation) of samples, such as living cells. In this master degree project, you will develop an analytical pipeline to process existing QPI images. Your tasks will involve: (i) converting existing QPI images into a readable format, (ii) aligning images, (iii) segmentation and detection of bacterial cells and (iv) the mathematical processing necessary to derive from QPI images the dry-mass of individual cells. If time permits, you will also be involved in performing exposure experiments in microfluidic devices in conjunction with automated microscopy.

Doktorandtjänst lämplig för bioinformatiker / PhD position suitable for bioinformaticians, IGP, UU

IGP söker en mycket motiverad person med intresse för statistisk epidemiologi, bioinformatik och beräkningsmetoder. Projektet är inriktat på studier av sjukdomsrisk kopplad till förlust av kromosom Y (LOY) i immunceller. Forskning har visat att män som drabbas av denna somatiska mutation i blodets immunceller uppvisar en ökad risk att dö av flera vanliga sjukdomar, vilket hjälper till att förklara varför män lever kortare liv. Nu bygger projektet vidare på dessa resultat för att reda ut mekanismerna som kan förklara hur förlust av Y i immunceller är så starkt kopplad till sjukdomsprocesser i andra organ. Project description also in English in the pdf!

Two master thesis students to help find biomarkers for small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors

Despite major efforts to improve prognostic variables for small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs), there is still a lack of reliable biomarkers for clinical use. In order to identify new molecular prognostic factors, gene expression variation studies in SI-NETs has identified differentially expressed genes related to specific copy number alterations. This project, open for two interested master students the coming fall semester, is meant to further validate and functionally characterize the candidate genes found by expression analysis in order to develop potential biomarkers of poor prognosis, and to identify driver genes in SI-NET tumorigenesis.
