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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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).

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.

PhD on "Interdisciplinary decision support for drained wetlands", SLU Umeå
Millions of hectares of northern peatlands have been drained for forestry, with new estimates of up to 1 million km of ditches in Sweden alone. Drainage has increased forest productivity in some, but not all areas. The future fate of these drainage ditches can be to: 1) clean them to ensure continued drainage, 2) ecologically restore them to a more natural state, or 3) leave them alone. The PhD student should develop a decision support tool to balance varying – and sometimes competing – ecosystem services based on new results from a side-by-side comparison of these three different management options.

4 year PhD-position in evolutionary ecology at Lund University
The aim of this PhD project is to investigate how and why wild populations vary in their evolutionary potential. The rate of evolution is determined by the amount of genetic variation and strength of selection. Although fundamental for the understanding of evolutionary dynamics, we still know very little about natural variation in selection and genetic variation in wild populations. This position is meant to help close some of that knowledge gap. More details in the pdf!

Bioinformatics master thesis project on single cell transcriptomics, IGP, UU
This bioinformatics master thesis project will help uncover the mechanisms of organ-specific lymphatic vessel development and functional specialization by analyzing pre-processed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data available in the lab. This will assist in identifying new markers of specific endothelial cell subtypes and targets for further functional characterization. The student will use existing computational pipelines and algorithms (e.g. R package Seurat) to analyze data sets and generate reports as well as write codes to fit individual biological questions in collaboration with the lab team. Therefore, the student will need to be able to work with Unix, R or Python and be familiar with the Uppsala University´s UPPMAX service.
