PhD student in Materials Physics

Uppsala University|Department of Physics and Astronomy

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 7 November 2024

The research conducted at the Department of Physics and Astronomy encompasses a wide range of physics topics, distributed over nine divisions. The department is located in the Ångström laboratory and employs nearly 400 people, 100 of whom are doctoral students. It offers a broad physics curriculum to undergraduate and graduate students, participation in nationally and internationally leading projects for researchers, and opportunities for partnership with industry and various outreach activities.

The Materials Physics division within the Department of Physics and Astronomy investigates advanced materials for applications in fusion energy, smart windows, hydrogen storage & nanoelectronics. Within the division, our group uses beams of swift ions to link structure and composition on a true atomistic scale with physical properties and macroscopic functionality is one of the main research tools within the division. We also perform fundamental investigations of the interaction of ions in matter to obtain a better understanding of the underlying physics and improved methods. These methods permit to determine concentrations and depth profiles of atoms and molecules in a material with very high accuracy for samples from biological, environmental and technological contexts. They can also be used to tailor material properties such as crystallinity or local chemical composition. A 5 MV tandem accelerator, a 350 kV high current ion implanter and a Low-Energy Ion Scattering System form the experimental platform.

Uppsala University hereby declares a PhD student position, at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, to be open for application. The PhD-project will focus on studies of kinetic processes for hydrogen and other light chemical species in energy materials for fusion research applications. The work will include both studying the fundamental thermodynamically aspects which govern, for example how hydrogen is absorbed and transported in materials on an atomic scale but also improvement of analytical methods for detection of light chemical species with high resolution and sensitivity. An important aspect will be to develop methods for tracking processes in a specific environment in real-time referred to as in-situ and in-operando techniques. The work will be of primarily experimental character.

Duties

The project is focused on experimental studies to study light chemical elements such as H, He or Li in different material systems relevant for energy applications. More specifically, this will include:

• Experiments to detect light chemical elements in materials which have been exposed to different environments.
• Synthesis and modification of different energy material containing light chemical species.
• Handling and development of large-scale instrumentation for non-destructive materials analysis, in particular using ion beams for in-situ and in-operando analysis.
• Handling and analysis of complex experimental data, evaluation and simulation with e.g. Monte-Carlo and Molecular Dynamics approaches.

Requirements

To meet the entry requirements for doctoral studies, you must

• hold a Master’s (second-cycle) degree in natural science discipline, or
• have completed at least 240 credits in higher education, with at least 60 credits at Master’s level including an independent project worth at least 15 credits, or
• have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way.
• personal capabilities necessary to carry out fully the duties of the appointment.

Appointment as a graduate student requires that the holder is admitted or will be admitted to PhD studies, where the applicant’s ability to successfully complete the doctoral studies will be decisive. The PhD position is for four years.

Additional qualificationsIt is considered advantageous a background in either a Physics, Material Science or equivalent; strong data analysis skills; past experiences in vacuum systems. Experience in materials research with ion beams is beneficial.

About the employmentThe employment is a temporary position according to the Higher Education Ordinance chapter 5 § 7. Scope of employment 100 %. Starting date 7 January 2025 or as agreed. Placement: Uppsala

For further information about the position, please contact:Eduardo Pitthan Filho, eduardo.pitthan@physics.uu.se or Daniel Primetzhofer, daniel.primetzhofer@physics.uu.se.

Doctoral (PhD) student position in cardiometabolic research

Karolinska Institutet|Department of Medicine

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 1 November 2024

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

To be a doctoral student means to devote oneself to a research project under supervision of experienced researchers and following an individual study plan. For a doctoral degree, the equivalent of four years of full-time doctoral education is required.

The research group

Are you eager to contribute to groundbreaking research in cardiometabolic diseases? The Hagberg (KI-web&Hagberglab) and Malin (KI-web) labs at Karolinska Institutet are seeking a PhD student to join our dynamic and collaborative research groups. As part of the Cardiovascular Medicine Division at the Department of Medicine, Solna, we focus on unravelling disease mechanisms using advanced mouse models, 3D cultures, and human samples. Our work has been featured in key publications, including DiNunzio et al, Nature Cardiovascular Research 2024, Grankvist et al, Nature Metabolism 2024, Ioannidou et al, J Physiol. 2022, Li et al, Nature Medicine 2021, Centa et al, Circulation 2019, and Hagberg et al, Nature 2012 & 2010. You will collaborate with a vibrant community of 55 researchers specializing in metabolism, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation, while engaging with international colleagues through Karolinska’s cardiometabolic network, which includes annual off-site meetings for knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Our labs are based in the newly built BioClinicum research building, next to Karolinska Hospital, providing an inspiring environment for scientific innovation. The green campus also offers excellent amenities, including gyms, cafeterias, and infrastructure for networking and career development. Join us at Karolinska Institutet and take your research career to the next level!

The doctoral student project and the duties of the doctoral student

Our central question is understanding how an overload of lipids affects adipocytes, immune cells and other parachymal cells of tissues. This generously funded doctoral project will specifically address lipid-induced growth-related cellular stress in adipocytes and other cell types. Emphasis will be on intercellular crosstalk with endothelial cells, and studies will involve culturing 3D organoids and extensive metabolic, histological and pathological analysis of our novel mouse models. This is combined with scRNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, metabolic analyses (Seahorse, isotope-tracing), functional testing of lipid dynamics (lipolysis, lipid uptake), spatial transcriptomics, and flow cytometry of tissue-resident cells, together with bioinformatic analysis.

The PhD student should have good collaborative skills, be open to learning new things and working with different people and techniques, including an interest in working with genetically engineered animal models. The duties furthermore include collaboration with peers, documentation of experimental data, and communication of the results both within the group and to the greater research community, taking part in research meetings, helping out with common laboratory duties as well as contributing to a positive, energetic and innovative research environment.
