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.

Master degree project at ICM, UU - "Interactions between pollutants and biomolecules"

For the development of computational methods for simulation of biosystems, adequate reference benchmark data is necessary. The persistent organic pollutants is a broad class of molecules potentially harmful to humans and environment alike, to various degrees. Being able to reliably predict the interactions of these molecules with biomolecules would be very advantageous in studying their hazard risks. Part of such predictions could be their propensity to cross biological membranes. Does this sound interesting to you? Then please read on in the pdf!

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.

PhD position in Plant Molecular Biology, Lund University

This PhD project will focus on understanding signal transduction pathways and
effectors that regulate responses to changing environmental conditions and stress, with a focus on the role of plant mitochondria. Besides being important for energy conversion and metabolism, mitochondria take part in sensing and signalling that lead to effective defence responses in plants. However, major components of these signalling pathways are unknown, so the goal of this project will be to identify and characterise key regulators and effectors.

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.

Master degree project: Using complementary approaches to assess the vulnerability of organic matter to decomposition

Department: IEG, UU
Place: EBC Uppsala
Start: As agreed upon
Application: Contact the PIs/supervisors!

Master thesis in bioinformatics, KI / SciLifeLab - Sto

One of the jobs of the immune system is to destroy tumor cells. Tumor cells use molecular tricks to lure the immune system into allowing them to grow. If we understood these tricks, we could design therapies that counter these tricks and help the immune system destroy tumors. Therapies that counter the tricks of cancer cells are already used in the clinic. But they only help a minority of patients because we know only a few of the tricks that tumor have up their sleeves. How can we discover all the tricks used by tumors to escape the immune system? That's the question you will work on in this project. Read further in the appended file if this sounds interesting to you!

Degree projects on the ecology of seals and cormorants, SLU Aqua

The populations of seals (harbour, grey and ringed seals) and cormorants in Sweden have increased in size and distribution during the last decades. Consequently, requirements and needs of information about the ecological role of seals and cormorants have increased, e.g. for inclusion of top predators in ecological models and for development of ecosystem-based management. In addition, conflicts with fish conservation biology and coastal fisheries have intensified. Here are flexible opportunities to do a master thesis on various aspects of these topics.

Degree projects at SLU Aqua, Institute of Coastal Research

The Department of Aquatic Resources, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, offers thesis work in Biology or Environmental Science, 15-60 credit points. The round goby is an invasive species with high reproduction speed and it is highly tolerant for environmental stressors. There is a risk that it will compete with other bottom dwelling species and also consume eggs & fry of native species, but it can also be a resource for predatory fish and humans. One concern is that it may invade freshwater systems and knowledge about its migrating capability and potential barriers to stop it from entering rivers is needed. In order to utilize the species and develop efficient fishing gear, knowledge is needed about the behavior of the fish around different fishing gears. The suggested projects (see pdf!) are experimental studies contributing with knowledge in both these important areas.

Degree projects: "Round goby – turning risk to resource"
