We are looking for one or two highly motivated PhD students to contribute to our ongoing research efforts in experimental quantum information science and quantum thermodynamics using superconducting circuits.

Project description
In the last 15 years, superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions have emerged as a leading platform to build a quantum computer. Josephson junctions provide a strong and lossless non-linearity that can be used to engineer quantum circuits with tailored energy spectra. In one project, the successful candidate will encode quantum information in nonclassical states of harmonic oscillators, while still relying on the Josephson non-linearity for state manipulation, entanglement, and readout. Using this approach, the candidate will realize a system of multiple harmonic oscillators and run proof-of-principle quantum algorithms on it. Examples include, but are not limited to, quantum error correction and variations of boson sampling. In the other project, the successful candidate will use superconducting circuits to build a range of one-of-a-kind quantum thermal machines.
This project addresses the question if and how genuinely quantum effects can provide advantages in thermodynamic processes.

Our research is funded by WACQT, the Swedish Research Council, the European Research Council (ERC), and the European Innovation Council (EIC).

Major responsibilities
You will perform experimental research, both individually and as part of our team, in the field of circuit quantum electrodynamics. You will fabricate state-of-the-art quantum devices and perform microwave measurements with nearly quantum-limited noise performance, taking advantage of the extensive infrastructure and expertise available in our team and division. Your research will benefit from regular interactions with our theory collaborators based in neighboring divisions as well as in other institutions in Sweden and abroad. You will publish your research in established journals and present it at international workshops and conferences.

Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here.

Join us in reducing underwater noise and protecting marine ecosystems.

Underwater noise from ships is a growing environmental concern. Both regulatory bodies and ship owners increasingly seek means to mitigate these emissions, which negatively impact marine wildlife. To support this decision making, there is a need for better tools that describe the noise emissions. This issue is especially urgent in the pristine polar regions, where diminishing ice cover is leading to an increase in ship traffic, while, unfortunately, our understanding of noise generation and propagation in ice-covered waters remains limited. We are offering two PhD positions that provide a unique opportunity to advance sustainable transport by developing innovative methods, tools, and insights into this crucial issue.

Project descriptions


• Novel methods for computational hydroacoustics
This project focuses on developing cutting-edge computational methods for underwater noise generation and propagation using the Lattice Boltzmann Method. This approach has the potential to overcome many limitations of existing numerical techniques. As a PhD candidate, you will be responsible for advancing this method and coding it (in C/C++ or Python) to simulate noise generated by ship propellers and other devices. A key goal is to explore fluid-structure interactions and acoustics in polar ocean conditions, where ice presence plays a significant role.
• On-board noise detection and monitoring tool
The second project aims to create a tool for detecting and monitoring underwater noise from within the ship. You will simulate noise radiation and analyze its correlation to measurable quantities on-board. The analysis is done in collaboration with Kongsberg, who will develop and conduct the measurements. You will also explore operational mitigation techniques, enabled by and in connetion with the monitoring tool.

About the division of Marine Technology
The positions are within the internationally recognized Division of Marine Technology at the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, which drives both fundamental and applied research in marine technology, covering areas such as ship design, subsea systems, and renewable marine energy. We support global industries and communities with solutions that minimize emissions, extend equipment lifespan, and promote safe marine operations. Our research focuses on numerical modeling (e.g., CFD, FEA, FSI, optimization, and machine learning), complemented by experimental work and real-life monitoring.

Our division collaborates closely with Swedish shipping companies, research institutes, and industry partners. Since 2002, we have hosted the Kongsberg University Technology Centre in Computational Hydrodynamics, a hub for long-term research and industrial method development. Our division also contributes to Master’s and doctoral programs, including the Mobility Engineering program and the Nordic Master in Maritime Engineering. We foster an open, collaborative environment with senior researchers, post-docs, and PhD students working together.

Major responsibilities
As a PhD candidate, you will conduct independent research and collaborate with colleagues at Chalmers and industry partners. Your duties include:


• Developing scientific concepts and sharing your findings both verbally and in writing.
• Taking advanced courses that align with your project and support your professional growth.
• Teaching or other departmental duties, comprising 10-20% of your work time.

The position is full-time for up to 4.5-5 years, depending on teaching and departmental work.

Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here.

Qualifications
Applicants should hold a Master of Science degree (or equivalent, at least 240 ECTS credits) in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mathematics, High Performance Computing, or a related field, with a focus on fluid mechanics and CFD. You must have excellent English communication skills and the ability to work independently, take initiative, and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams. Strong interpersonal skills are essential for interacting with both academic and industry partners.

Projektbeskrivning 



Denna avhandling analyserar varför och hur populistiska regeringar engagerar sig i eller drar sig ur internationella och regionala organisationer. Till skillnad från den utbredda uppfattningen att populistiska regeringar undergräver multilaterala och regionala institutioner pekar ny forskning mot en betydligt mer komplicerad bild. Denna avhandling syftar därför till att konstruera ett ramverk för mer finkornig analys av hur populistiska regeringar förhåller sig till internationella och regionala organisationer. Eftersom tidigare forskning ofta fokuserat på enskilda fall bör avhandlingen antingen förlita sig på en kvalitativ jämförelse av ett begränsat antal fall (länder eller organisationer), en kvantitativ forskningsdesign, eller någon form av kombination av dessa.

Projekt: Benmärgen är det organ som är mest känsligt för strålning, med potentiella utfall som akut hematologisk toxicitet till stokastiska effekter såsom cancer. Trots dessa risker är vår förståelse för de hematologiska effekterna efter bestrålning av benmärgen med radionuklider begränsad. Denna brist beror delvis på avsaknaden av dosimetrimodeller som speglar benmärgens komplexa struktur. Denna komplexitet blir särskilt relevant för intern bestrålning från radioaktiva läkemedel. I sådana fall är en detaljerad förståelse för fördelningen av aktivitet och bestrålningsmönstret inom benmärgen avgörande för precisa dosimetriberäkningar och riskbedömningar av hematologiska bestrålningseffekter.

Detta doktorandprojekt syftar till att utveckla en förbättrad dosimetrimodell för benmärgen, med fokus på att möjliggöra mer exakta dosimetriberäkningar för cellspecifika fördelningar av radionuklider och radioaktiva läkemedel inom benmärgen. Doktorandprojektet är organiserat kring fyra specifika mål för att förbättra förståelsen för intern dosimetri rörande benmärgsbestrålning och öka kunskapen om hematologiska effekter. Projektet inleds med analys av variationer i trabekulärt ben och spongiös vävnad genom mikro-CT och histologiska undersökningar. Vår forskningsbildplattform och MATLAB-baserad AI kommer att användas för att konstruera benmärgsstrukturen. Monte Carlo-simuleringar kommer att användas för att beräkna medelabsorberade doser för olika radionuklider. Projektet kommer sedan att studera den cellulära strukturen i röd benmärg och fördelningen av blodkärl genom immunhistologi, och integrera denna information i den tidigare nämnda modellen för att skapa en mer detaljerad benmärgsanatomimodell för dosberäkningar på cell- och subcellulär nivå. I den tredje fasen kommer projektet att utföra mikrodosimetriberäkningar för att vidare analysera de stokastiska biologiska effekterna av lågdosbestrålning från radionuklider i benmärgen. Slutligen kommer projektet, med stöd av data om hematologisk respons från behandlingar med radionuklider, att utvärdera modellens förmåga att förutsäga hematologisk respons jämfört med befintliga modeller för benmärgsdosimetri.

The department of Space, Earth and Environment and Dept. of Physics is recruiting one post-doc (in Active-learning neural-networks for discovery of oxygen carriers for chemical-looping) to carry out research with the aim of developing efficient materials for chemical-looping. The project is highly interdisciplinary and you will work together with researchers with long and internationally recognized experience in the development of technologies for biomass conversion and carbon dioxide capture. More specifically, the project will include development of generative active-learning models for material development in combination with opportunities to synthesize and investigate materials in real chemical-looping reactors. Further, the utilization of the model for a broader range of technoloiges will be assessed as a part of the project.

Project description
You will utilize AI and materials informatics to identify new materials for chemical looping technologies, a novel concept for fuel combustion and hydrogen production. More specifically, you will use advanced evaluation techniques, data mining, and generative machine learning models to create an active learning cycle that discovers new materials with superior properties. This will help establish chemical looping as the technology for sustainable energy systems. Our conjecture is that the new methodology will be highly generic and could be applied also for development of sustainable materials for other applications and energy conversion systems.

The Post Doc will carry out research at both the Division of Energy Technology and the Division of Chemical Physics at Chalmers. The former  conducts research and offers education mainly in energy technology and energy systems. Our research focuses on combustion and gasification of biomass, technologies for carbon dioxide avoidance, energy transformation and sustainable energy systems. A considerable part of our research is experimental and for this we have built up and are maintaining unique experimental facilities, such as for example Chalmers research boiler/gasifier and several chemical-looping pilot reactors. 

Major responsibilities
As Post Doc your main responsibility is to conduct research within the framework of the given project. If desired, teaching in undergraduate and graduate courses can be part of the work description, but it is not mandatory. You are expected to work with a high degree of independence, while still being capable of close collaboration with other researchers and industrial partners when needed. You should be able to communicate scientific results to different stakeholders, both orally at meetings and conferences and in written form as scientific articles. The position is for two years, with extension with one year to three years being a possibility.

Qualifications
Experience with machine learning algorithms and coding for material applications  is mandatory and experience in ab-initio and DFT calculations of solid materials is strongly encouraged. Also, the position requires excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, and preferably also in Swedish. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

By the starting date 2025-01-01, the applicant should have a PhD exam in a subject relevant for the project content (e.g. physics, chemistry or chemical engineering). Candidates who received their PhD degree within the last three years will be prioritized.

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.

Key competencies include design thinking, prototyping, interviewing, graphic design, information visualization, filmmaking, photography, illustration, and anthropological research. They will also learn advanced research methods from the arts, social sciences, and humanities, gaining insights into autonomous systems, AI, and related technologies.

The project will build on previous research in AI, aesthetics, and ethics, collaborating with renowned intellectuals and artists such as Dr. David Levy and Fleischmann and Strauss. Their guidance will enhance the quality and impact of our experiments.

In the first year, the student will conduct extensive literary research and create lo-fi prototypes within the GENIE Lab, focusing on the GENIE AI chatbot. The research will critically examine the implications of AI and digital technologies on social norms and sustainable practices, particularly in relation to ethics and aesthetics.

 Main responsibilities:


• Conduct independent research in the subject area.
• Read, review, and write research papers; give presentations, and take complementary courses.
• Engage in activities such as systematic literature reviews, empirical studies, prototyping, interaction with industrial companies, and data analysis.
• Collaborate with experienced researchers at the department, in companies, and other universities.

Identifying and developing new and more abundant catalyst materials is key to a sustainable society. In this project you will join our group in using and developing operando methods at cutting-edge large scale synchrotron facilities such as MAX IV, Petra III and the ESRF to unravel the interplay between the activity, the atomic scale structure and the composition of catalyst surfaces under realistic reaction conditions. You will prepare and investigate your own model catalysts and have access to the state-of-the-art material characterization techniques located at Chalmers. As member of the Hejral group funded by WISE, you will work in a large and interdisciplinary national and international network.


Project description
Against the background of global warming the chemical transformation of the greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide into value-added products with the aim to store energy in form of molecules such as hydrogen or methanol becomes all the more important. The partial oxidation of methane (POM) constitutes an energy-saving route to activate methane and to produce syngas, a mixture of CO and H2 that is a fundamental building block in chemical industry for the production of methanol and olefins. Another important reaction is the hydrogenation of the greenhouse gas CO2 into the renewable fuel methanol. However, to improve the catalyst efficiency, an understanding of the interplay between the catalyst structure, its surface chemistry and the catalytic activity needs to be understood on the atomic scale under high pressure reaction conditions.

In this project you will prepare and investigate model catalysts using the techniques available at Chalmers and by employing the synchrotron-based surface-sensitive operando methods employed in our group. By joining our newly established research group, you will have the opportunity to coin the research profile based on your interests and experience, focusing on the aforementioned research area. We currently focus on the investigation of catalysts for the POM, yet, based on the background and the interests of the candidate, also other catalytic reactions and processes linked to the activities at the Division, such as CO2 hydrogenation and ammonia oxidation, can be considered.

Information about the division and the department
The Division of Chemical Physics, which is part of the Department of Physics, focuses on the investigation of functional nanomaterials, where most projects are connected to the development of improved sustainable materials for energy storage, fuel cells, fuel production, the purification of aqueous solutions and photovoltaics. Chemical Physics performs cutting-edge research by using its strong interdisciplinarity: the Division combines both, experimental and theoretical expertise, spanning from the investigation of surface plasmons and the design of nano-structured catalyst materials to density functional theory calculations to understand reaction kinetics.
It provides an international and family-friendly environment that highly cherishes the Chalmers fundamental values: quality, openness, inclusion, respect and diversity. We highly support the professional growth of our employees, for instance by offering specialized courses and participation in international conferences and summer/winter schools.

The Hejral group at the Division of Chemical Physics is at the forefront of the synchrotron-based operando investigation of model catalyst surfaces for energy conversion, both in thermal and electro catalysis. The operando synchrotron studies are carried out all over Europe (e.g. Petra III, Max IV, ESRF, Soleil, Diamond Light Source) and include High Energy Surface X-ray Diffraction (HESXRD) for surface structure determination, and gas phase X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), for complementary information on the catalyst surface chemistry. The ultra-high-vacuum based preparation of well-defined model catalysts allows us to highlight certain aspects of the catalyst samples (e.g. nanoparticle shape, size and alloy composition). Thus, we can unravel the interplay between the atomic scale structure and composition and its catalytic properties, leading to a knowledge-based tailoring of more efficient catalysts.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to perform your own research in our research group (sample preparation, characterization, writing of publications) and to supervise Master's and/or PhD students. You will join and/or initiate synchrotron beamtimes and further improve and develop lab and beamtime equipment.


Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree generally awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline.

The following qualifications are mandatory:

Project description


Against the background of global warming the chemical transformation of the greenhouse gases into value-added products with the aim to store energy in form of molecules becomes all the more essential. The partial oxidation of methane (POM) constitutes an energy-saving route to activate the greenhouse gas methane to produce syngas, a fundamental building block in chemical industry for the production of methanol and olefins. However, for POM to occur at energy-saving low temperatures, novel catalyst materials of improved activity need to be identified and investigated.

In this respect, the alloying of Ni catalysts with noble metals has been found beneficial. However, the interplay between the catalyst structure, its alloy composition, its surface chemistry and the catalytic activity needs to be understood on the atomic scale under realistic high pressure reaction conditions. The current position will focus on the preparation and investigation of alloy model catalysts for POM using synchrotron-based operando techniques, where the designing and the setting up of an operando high pressure cell for synchrotron-based High Energy Surface X-ray Diffraction (HESXRD) studies is foreseen. Prior to synchrotron beamtimes the catalyst samples will be prepared and pre-characterized in the homelab.

Information about the division and the department
The Hejral group at the Division of Chemical Physics is on the forefront of the synchrotron-based operando investigation of defined model catalyst surfaces for energy conversion, both in thermal catalysis and in electrochemistry studies. The operando synchrotron studies are carried out all over Europe (e.g. Petra III, Max IV, ESRF, Soleil, Diamond Light Source) and include HESXRD, for the fast data acquisition for surface structure determination, and gas phase X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), for complementary information on the catalyst surface chemistry. The ultra-high-vacuum based preparation of well-defined model catalysts allows us to highlight certain aspects of the catalyst samples (e.g. nanoparticle shape, size, alloy composition). Thus, we can unravel the interplay between the atomic scale structure and composition of the nanocatalyts and its catalytic properties, leading to a knowledge-based tailoring of more efficient catalysts.

The Division of Chemical Physics is part of the Department of Physics and focuses on the investigation of functional nanomaterials, where most projects are connected to the development of improved sustainable materials for energy storage, fuel cells, fuel production, the purification of aqueous solutions and photovoltaics. Chemical Physics performs cutting-edge research by using its strong interdisciplinarity: the Division combines both, experimental and theoretical expertise, spanning from the investigation of surface plasmons and the design of nano-structured catalyst materials to density functional theory calculations to understand reaction kinetics.
It provides an international and family-friendly environment that highly cherishes the Chalmers fundamental values: quality, openness, inclusion, respect and diversity. We highly support the professional growth of our employees, for instance by offering specialized courses and participation in international conferences and summer/winter schools.

We are offering a postdoc position in the areas of higher category theory, homotopy type theory and constructive mathematics, with a competitive monthly salary and full social benefits. 

General Information
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering is a fully integrated department with the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology as principals. The department is widely recognised for excellent research and education, and strongly international with approximately 300 employees from more than 40 countries. Our department is located in Sweden’s second largest city Gothenburg – the world’s most sustainable destination every year since 2016 according to the Global Destination Sustainability Index.

The department is organised in four divisions where research spans from theoretical foundations to applied systems development. The position is placed in the Logic and Types unit of the Computing Science division, with Chalmers University of Technology as employer. You will be part of a lively research environment with fun interaction with researchers in the area of the position and in other areas such as type theory, graph theory, functional programming, formal methods and information security.

Project Background and Description
Category theory is an organizing language for mathematics. Higher categories generalize categories, replacing sets of morphisms between objects by homotopy types. Certain phenomena such as descent or univalence admit a satisfactory explanation only in the higher categorical world.

Constructive mathematics is an approach to mathematics where proofs are effective, yielding algorithms for constructing witnessing objects. While ordinary category theory is largely constructive, higher category theory as developed using the quasicategory model in simplicial sets is typically not, due to the use of excluded middle to make every simplicial set cofibrant.

The goal of the project is to develop the theory of higher categories (also known as (?, 1)-categories) in a constructive setting, and investigate connections with homotopy type theory. This will use analytic, formal and synthetic approaches.

Main Responsibilities
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct high-quality original research and publish in leading international venues together with senior researchers in the group and other members of the research community. You will work both independently and as part of a team on research related broadly to the goals of the project, and communicate the results verbally and in writing.

Additionally, you will perform teaching activities including supervision of bachelor and master thesis projects for at most 20% of your time, as well as possible co-supervision of PhD students.

Qualifications
To be eligible for appointment as a postdoctoral researcher, you are required to have a doctoral degree in computer science, mathematics or other areas related to the project in this announcement, or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to such a doctoral degree.

You should be familiar with category theory and have an interest in type theory, homotopy theory, or higher categories. Familiarity with any of the following topics is beneficial: constructive mathematics, type theory, abstract homotopy theory, models of higher categories, simplicial sets.

Since teaching is part of the responsibilities, previous teaching experience is meritorious.

The working language at the department is English and the position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English.

Contract terms
The position is a full-time position starting as soon as possible after agreement and until the end of September 2027 at the latest, and located in the beautiful city of Gothenburg on the West coast of Sweden.

We offer
At Chalmers we seek to establish a good work/life balance. We want to provide you with the means to pick the best path possible in your pursuit of making a difference. Our ambitions in this area are reflected in the generous employment conditions, including:


• Holiday allowance of 28-35 days per year depending on age;

Projekt: Forskningen vid avdelningen för oral mikrobiologi och immunologi omfattar bland annat orala bakterier och dess metaboliter, neutrofiler och andra vita blodceller, samt interaktionen mellan dessa vid friska förhållanden samt vid olika orala sjukdomstillstånd. Inom detta område avser detta doktorandprojekt att undersöka oral bakteriell nitritproduktion i den orala mikrobiella ekologin och dess roll i hälsa och sjukdom.

Orala bakterier som associeras med hälsa har visat sig ha förmågan att processa nitrat till nitrit, som sedan kan omvandlas vidare till kväveoxid. En kost rik på grönsaker (som har hög nitrathalt), i kombination med nitratreducerande orala bakterier har föreslagits främja systemisk hälsa genom reglering av blodtrycket men även förordats ha lokala antiinflammatoriska effekter med avseende på parodontit. Dessutom verkar denna metabolism kunna påverka närliggande bakterier och på så sätt möjligen kunna inverka på oral ekologi och sammansättningen av plack. Inom detta projekt kommer den potentiella påverkan av nitrit på den omgivande mikrobiotan och immunceller att utforskas in vitro och kombineras med kliniska orala undersökningar av förekomst och effekt av nitrit lokalt i munhålan hos patienter med orala sjukdomar samt friska kontrollpatienter. Även systemiska effekter (blodtrycksreglering) av oral nitritproduktion avses studeras. 

Sökanden bör vara noggrann och ansvarsfull, med förmåga till självständig problemlösning. Mycket goda kunskaper i svenska och engelska krävs. Stor vikt läggs vid personlig lämplighet.

Arbetsuppgifter   
Utbildning i odontologisk vetenskap består i att genomföra ett vetenskapligt projekt och att delta i kurser på forskarnivå om minst 30 högskolepoäng. Utbildningen avslutas med att doktoranden skriver en vetenskaplig sammanläggningsavhandling eller en monografi motsvarande minst 120 högskolepoäng. För mer information om utbildning på forskarnivå vid Sahlgrenska akademin se https://www.gu.se/sahlgrenska-akademin/var-forskarutbildning

Projekt: Djupa furkationsdefekter är en känd riskfaktor för förlust av flerrotiga tänder. Icke-kirurgisk behandling resulterar vanligtvis i ett ofullständigt behandlingsutfall. Detta beror på anatomiska förhållanden och svårigheter att avlägsna bakteriebeläggningar i furkationsområdet. För att förbättra tillgängligheten har resektiva kirurgiska metoder med borttagning av en eller flera av tandens rötter tillämpats. Långtidsundersökningar har dock visat att tandöverlevnaden efter ådan behandling inte förbättrats jämfört med mer konservativa behandlingsåtgärder. Nyligen publicerade studier förespråkar rekonstruktiva kirurgiska behandlingsmetoder som utmärker sig genom sin vävnadsbevarande karaktär. Det saknas däremot data från stora kontrollerade studier på rekonstruktiv kirurgi.

Det aktuella projektet syftar till att undersöka den potentiella nyttan av rekonstruktiv kirurgi vid behandling av flerrotiga tänder med furkationsdefekter. De specifika målen är att:


• utvärdera effekten av rekonstruktiv kirurgisk behandling med benersättningsmaterial av flerrotiga tänder med furkationsdefekter.
• jämföra tidig sårläkning efter konventionell respektive rekonstruktiv kirurgi vid furkationsdefekter.
• analysera patientrapporterade utfallsmått, kostnadseffektivitet samt biverkningar efter konventionell respektive rekonstruktiv kirurgi vid furkationsdefekter.
• identifiera patient- och tandrelaterade faktorer av betydelse för kliniska och radiologiska utfallsmått efter konventionell respektive rekonstruktiv kirurgi vid furkationsdefekter.

Utvärderingarna baseras på en multicenter, multinationell, randomiserad klinisk studie som inkluderar 200 patienter. Projektet kommer att genomföras som en tvåarmad randomiserad kontrollerad studie med en uppföljningstid på 12 månader vid tre kliniska centra i Sverige och flera kliniska centra i Europa. 

Doktoranden förväntas delta i behandling och uppföljning av forskningspersoner samt vara aktiv i dataanalys och i publikationsprocess. Projektet förutsätter att doktoranden behärskar det svenska språket i tal och skrift då datainsamlingen innebär kontakter med informanter som talar svenska.

Projekt: Förbättrad munvård och ökad kunskap om munsjukdomar har lett till en minskning av kariesprevalensen men behandling av djup karies och bibehållande av vitaliteten i pulpan utgör fortfarande en utmaning över hela världen. Det finns ett behov av att etablera en adekvat och mindre invasiv behandlingsmetod för karies, speciellt avseende djupa kariesskador. Karies är en infektionssjukdom som orsakas av syrabildande bakterier fästa på tandens hårdvävader. Därför är effektivt avlägsnande och/eller inaktivering av den kariogena mikrobiella biofilmen avgörande för behandling av karies. En ny antimikrobiell teknik som använder hydroxylradikaler har utvecklats för behandling av dentala infektionssjukdomar. Tekniken använder UV-ljus och väteperoxid (H2O2), vilket skapar hydroxylradikaler som orsakar letal oxidativ skada på bakterieceller. Vår forskargrupp har i flera studier visat på effektiviteten av H2O2-fotolys med 365- eller 400-nm LED med en signifikant minskning av antalet livsdugliga bakterier i kariogen biofilm samt metodens säkerhet. Baserat på tidigare resultat är den generella hypotesen som formulerats för detta forskningsprojekt att hydroxylradikaler är effektiva mot kariogen biofilm i djupa kariösa lesioner. Det antas vidare att metoden inte kommer att påverka vare sig bindningsförmågan eller de material som används för direkt reparativ behandling och kan därför erbjuda en säker och kliniskt effektiv metod för att stoppa djupa kariesskador.

Det övergripande syftet med detta projekt att ytterligare utvärdera denna nyutvecklade antimikrobiella kemoterapi som använder hydroxylradikaler genererat av H2O2-fotolys för kariesbehandling. Doktorandprojektet består av 4 delar, 2 kliniska kohortstudier för att demonstrera metodernas effektivitet på kariogena bakterier i dentin och djupa karieslesioner samt 2 in vitro-studier för utvärdering av metodens effekt på dentinstruktur och påverkan på bindningsförmåga. De kliniska projekten kommer att utföras i samarbete med Västra Götalands regionen och in vitro-studierna vid avdelningen för kariologi i samarbete med avdelningen för Advanced Free Radical Science, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to develop ship physics-integrated machine learning models for real-time prediction and optimization of wind-assisted ship propulsion systems, integrating physical ship performance models with operational data. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to sustainable shipping by enhancing the efficiency and automation of wind-assisted propulsion (WAP) technologies. You will work at the intersection of marine engineering, artificial intelligence, control theory, and human factors, collaborating within the Marine Technology division at Chalmers University of Technology. This role not only involves cutting-edge research but also has the potential to set new standards in future ship designs and operations. If you are passionate about applying advanced technologies in real-world environments and making a significant impact on the maritime industry, we encourage you to apply.

Project description
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted ambitious environmental ambition to peak GHG emissions from international shipping as soon as possible and to reach net-zero GHG emissions by or around 2050. It also promotes the development and installation of various emission reduction measures. One of such measures is wind-assisted propulsion (WAP) technologies, which use renewable wind energy for auxiliary ship propulsions, with the potential to reduce around 20% emissions from shipping. However, installation of WAP onboard ships significantly changes ship operation characteristics, such as the manoeuvrability, energy performance and seafarers’ ability and attitude to navigate the ships.

In this project, we aim to develop an AI/ML-enhanced platform to create digital twin systems for WAPs. By integrating physical modeling with advanced machine learning techniques such as ANN, and CNN, we will build a comprehensive digital twin that accurately predicts the dynamic coupling performance of the hull and WAP systems in real-time. This platform will incorporate both the ship's physical dynamic hull-engine-propeller energy performance and calibrated sensor data through physics-informed neural network modeling. Additionally, we plan to utilize this digital platform to develop optimal control mechanisms to automate WAP operations and to demonstrate energy efficiency measures developed within our research activities.

We develop process technology to build these systems, bench test environments to validate that the systems work, and biological tests such as cell cultures where we use the systems to stimulate specific behavior in cells and to monitor their response.

Project description
As a PhD in our group you will take on responsibility towards the application of cellulose-based materials for wound healing applications. You will focus on using new cellulose-based materials as carriers and insulators for skin-electrode interfaces, aiming at developing bioelectronic wound dressings.
You will:
- identify diverse protocols for generating cellulose-based membranes capable of conforming to skin wounds.
- explore various methods to generate functional conducting structures within the cellulose
- fabricate and validate prototypes focusing on the conducting/insulating properties required
- prototype different bioelectronic devices for measurement and stimulation of skin

Our skin has remarkable ability to self-heal, however, old age and certain diseases can drastically reduce this ability. This greatly increases the risk that a normal wound becomes a chronic wound. Lots of research has been invested into wound repair strategies that support or speed up the healing process to reduce the risk that chronic wounds form. One way to enforce faster closure is to use electrical stimulation to manipulate how skin-cells act during skin regeneration. This concept has been developed over a number of years the by the team in bioelectronic microtechnology. At this point we are exploring how this completely new active wound healing concept could be integrated in established wound dressing materials based on cellulose. We are expecting that this next step is what is needed to allow us to translate our research to an active wound dressing to be used in patients. For this project we are currently looking for a PhD, to develop cellulose based materials that can be used as substrate for electrode fabrication through laser-structuring in combination with cellulose based hydrogels/hydrocolloids intended for direct contact with the wounded area. The position is embedded within the Wallenberg Wood Science Centre where you will exchange with other research teams working with cellulose and other wood-based materials.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.

Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here.

Qualifications
We are looking for a candidate with a M.Sc. in Microsystems Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or other relevant background. It is meritorious if you have experience with chemical synthesis and characterization, as well as experience working with hydrogels or hydrocolloids. 

Mandatory experiences and skills:
As a PhD you need to be able to work with independence and dedication toward the project goals. You are expected to have experience working in a laboratory following safety guidelines and carefully documenting your work.

Meritorious experiences and skills:
* Experience with Electrochemical Methods
* Experience with Cell Cultures for technology validation
* Experience with Regulations and Certifications of Medical Devices

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

We are looking for a driven postdoctoral researcher who will join two multidisciplinary teams at Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers working jointly on valorization of biomass and focus on developing an essential methodology for assessing the cell wall accessibility.
The fundamental knowledge gained through this methodology will broadly open up for improved design of separation and functionalization processes for forest biomass.

Project description
This project will be conducted with two research groups (Anna Ström's and Merima Hasani's groups) working jointly on valorization of biomass all the way from primary separation of the components to their functionalization towards specific applications. Our complementary competences will ensure a broad collaborative scientifc approch and strong practical experimental support. Moreover, the project will be financed and conducted within the framework of the Wallenberg Wood Science Center that will provide a wider impact of the work and open up for further development and collaborations.
Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC) is a research center striving for scientific excellence with a focus on new materials from trees. The center creates knowledge and builds competence for an innovative and sustainable future value creation from forest raw materials. WWSC is a multidisciplinary collaboration between KTH, Chalmers, and Linköping University. The base is a donation from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and the forest industry is supporting WWSC via the national platform Treesearch.
An important part of the center's scientific work is development of analytical tools related to separation and recovery of wood components, which is the core of this postdoctoral project.

Information about the department and the Science center
The position is located at the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers where we have a long tradition of multidisciplinary approach to valorization of biomass ranging from chemistry and technology of traditional pulping processes to novel routes of separating, fractionating and functionalizing forest biomass components in the spirit of biorefinery and biomaterials development. Apart from extensive collaborations with forest industry, the presence of the world-leading Wallenberg Wood Science Center has during the past 13 years strengthened the collaborative environment and facilitated access to extensive research infrastructure. In that context, development of novel methods for characterization of cell wall accessibility is an essential component in gaining the fundamental mechanistic understanding for the separation (and also valorization) processes applied on wood and forest biomass in general.

Major responsibilities
The main responsibility of the postdoctoral researcher will be to work on developing methodology for assessing the wood cell wall porosity, whether native or partly processed. The main focus will be on adapting the confocal microscopy investigation of the fluorescence recovery after bleaching to wood material, but complementary analytical methods will also be of high relevance. The work will require a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach and will be closely related to the previous and the ongoing work/collaborations in our two research groups.

Stark forskning och attraktiva utbildningar lockar forskare och studenter från hela världen. Med ny kunskap och nya perspektiv bidrar Göteborgs universitet till en bättre framtid.Doktorandplats i biologi med inriktning tropisk skogsekologi   

Vid Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap (BioEnv) finns utbildnings- och forskningsverksamhet som sträcker sig från fjällvärldens ekosystem, genom skog, mark och vattendrag, hela vägen ut i havet. I dessa miljöer arbetar vi med olika biologiska organisationsnivåer från gener, via individer och populationer till samhällen och ekosystem. Vi arbetar inom ekologi, evolution, fysiologi, systematik och kombinationer av dessa ämnesområden för att förstå betydelsen av naturliga och av människan skapade miljöförändringar.

Institutionens verksamhet bedrivs på två olika platser, GU:s lokaler i Natrium på Medicinaregatan 7B i Göteborg, samt på Kristineberg marina forskningsstation som drivs av den Marina infrastrukturen vid Göteborgs universitet. Den aktuella anställningen är förlagd till Natrium.

Universitetsgemensam information om vad det innebär att vara doktorand vid Göteborgs universitet kan du finna på universitetets doktorandsidor.

Vi erbjuder

Göteborg universitet är en statlig myndighet vilket innebär särskilda förmåner, mer semester och bra pension. Du kan läsa mer om våra anställningsförmåner här.

Projektbeskrivning
Detta doktorandprojekt ligger inom det breda forskningsfältet skogsekologi med sannolika förgreningar till forskning om klimatförändringar, biogeografi, genomik, evolution och naturvård. Det övergripande målet är att studera den rumsliga och tidsmässiga variationen av trädsamhällen i de atlantiska regnskogarna i östra Sydamerika, ett av de mest artrika och hotade områden på jorden.

De viktigaste frågorna som behandlas i projektet är (i) Vilka är de rumsliga mönstren i skogssamhällets struktur (trädarternas sammansättning och förekomst), fylogenetisk struktur och kollager ovan jord i Atlantskogen över olika rumsliga skalor? (ii) Vilka är de viktigaste miljöfaktorerna (t.ex. marknäringsämnen, topografi) som driver dessa mönster? (iii) Hur påverkar artspecifika responser på miljöfaktorer skogens funktion och mångfald? Mer specifika frågor och forskningsfokus kommer att utvecklas av doktoranden i samarbete med sina handledare.

Doktoranden kommer att samordna inrättandet av permanenta undersökningsrutor (forest plots) samt insamlingen av kompletterande data (t.ex. topografiska, edafiska och klimatvariabler, växtgenetiskt material samt markbunden (och potentiellt med drönare och luftburen) laserskanning för 3D-kartläggning av arter och kvantifiering av kollagring). Med tiden kommer data som samlas in inom ramen för detta projekt att möjliggöra långsiktiga studier som kopplar samman skogens mångfald och dynamik med fjärranalysdata, vilket förväntas bidra till en omfattande förståelse för hur tropiska skogar kommer att svara på pågående globala förändringar. De flesta data kommer att samlas in direkt i fält, men forskningen kommer också att jämföra data och resultat med dem som erhållits på andra platser och regioner. Vissa prover kommer att analyseras på plats och andra kommer att tas med till laboratoriet för senare analys. Fältkampanjerna kan leda till att nya arter upptäcks för vetenskapen, eftersom Atlantskogen har klassificerats som en global ”darkspot” för växtmångfald - en region som anses kunna ge upphov till ett stort antal nya arter och nya förekomster för vetenskapen. Insamlade data kommer att analyseras med hjälp av lämpliga kvantitativa och statistiska metoder.

Projektet baseras främst på pågående forskningsinsatser som utförs av Atlantic Forest Research and Conservation Alliance (www.araca-project.org) vid Alto da Figueira-reservatet i delstaten Rio de Janeiro i Brasilien. Reservatet förvaltas av den ideella välgörenhetsorganisationen Antonelli Foundation for Biodiversity Research and Conservation (www.antonelli-foundations.org). Dess permanenta skyddade status och långsiktiga finansiering ger säkerhet för att de etablerade trädområdena kommer att vara fritt tillgängliga för forskare och studenter i årtionden framöver, vilket möjliggör långsiktiga ekologiska övervakningsstudier och ger doktoranden möjlighet att leda och delta i många vetenskapliga samarbeten.

Studenten kommer att vara placerad vid institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap under huvudhandledning av Dr. Daniel Zuleta, med medhandledning av Prof. Alexandre Antonelli. Projektet omfattar samarbete med forskare, doktorander och fältpersonal som arbetar vid fältstationerna, samt potentiellt samarbete med andra internationella forskare som är involverade i nätverk för skogsövervakning (t.ex. ForestGEO, ForestPlots.net). Studenten kommer att ha möjlighet att lära sig om och utforska spjutspetstekniker inom fjärranalys och vegetationsmodeller (FATES, LPJ-GUESS) genom nuvarande samarbeten inom forskargruppen.

Projektet är relaterat till det strategiska forskningsområdet BECC (Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate; http://www.becc.lu.se/) och Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Center (GGBC, https://www.gu.se/en/ggbc-global-biodiversity), som är värd för forskningsmöjligheter och kurser som kommer att vara öppna för den rekryterade doktoranden (t.ex. ClimBEco, https://www.cec.lu.se/sv/utbildning/forskarutbildning/forskarskolan-climbeco).

Titel på projektet: Avancerad tau-PET-kvantifiering för användning i kliniska och forskningsmiljöer

Universitetsgemensam information om vad det innebär att vara doktorand vid Göteborgs universitet kan du finna på universitetets doktorandsidor https://www.gu.se/utbildning-till-att-bli-forskare

Arbetsuppgifter   
Utbildning i medicinsk vetenskap består i att genomföra ett vetenskapligt projekt och att delta i kurser på forskarnivå om minst 30 högskolepoäng. Utbildningen avslutas med att doktoranden skriver en vetenskaplig sammanläggningsavhandling eller en monografi motsvarande minst 120 högskolepoäng. För mer information om utbildning på forskarnivå vid Sahlgrenska akademin se https://www.gu.se/sahlgrenska-akademin/var-forskarutbildning

Projekt: Utvecklingen av tau positron emission tomography (PET) avbildning har möjliggjort in vivo visualisering av neurofibrillära trassel hos patienter med Alzheimers sjukdom (AD). Denna kännetecken neuropatologiska förändring sker nedströms amyloid plackpatologi och är nära förknippad med kognitiv försämring. Följaktligen har signalhöjningar på tau-PET visat sig starkt korrelera med MRT-bedömd neurodegeneration och utveckling av demenssymptom. Således förväntas det att tau PET kommer att spela en viktig roll i den diagnostiska och prognostiska upparbetningen av patienter med tidig AD och i kliniska prövningar som testar sjukdomsmodifierande läkemedel. På grund av den relativt nyligen genomförda implementeringen av tau-PET i forskning och klinisk praxis kvarstår dock ett antal viktiga frågor angående den optimala kvantifieringen av tau-PET-avvikelser som kommer att vara avgörande för användning i klinisk rutin och prövningar.

Därför kommer det första målet med detta doktorandprojekt att vara att fastställa optimala protokoll för tillämpningen av tau PET i kliniska och forskningsmiljöer och att optimera dess användning som avläsning i kliniska prövningar. Specifikt kommer vi att utveckla automatiserade tau PET-kvantifieringsalgoritmer som är diagnostiskt och prognostiskt likvärdiga med det FDA-godkända visuella lässchemat. Huvudsyftet med denna kvantifieringsalgoritm kommer att vara att tillhandahålla en snabb, kostnadseffektiv och pålitlig metod för att automatisera tau PET-bedömning i större skala utan behov av tidskrävande och felbenägen visuell läsning av experter.

Det andra målet med projektet kommer att vara att utveckla optimerade metoder för att kvantifiera progressionen och spridningen av tau-patologi på longitudinella tau-PET-data för att mäta sjukdomsprogression och för att etablera personliga surrogat-slutpunkter i tau-inriktade kliniska prövningar. För detta ändamål kommer vi att utnyttja ett företablerat ramverk som modellerar tau som sprids över anslutna hjärnregioner på patientnivå, för att bestämma patientspecifika avläsningar som kvantifierar tau-progression.

We are excited to announce a PhD position about how the climate change impacts buildings. The goal is to enhance knowledge and prepare the society for the challenges of a warmer, more humid climate in the design, construction, and operation of buildings within the Swedish context. A special focus will be on using innovative and recycled materials to ensure resilient and sustainable buildings. The project will build on our pioneering work on the impact of climate change on buildings.

Project description
Research on how the climate change impacts the built environment has had a focus mainly on increasing temperature and precipitation, while limited attention was focused on increasing outdoor humidity. In Sweden, climate scenarios predict warmer and, consequently, more humid conditions. While warmer winters may reduce heating energy use, higher outdoor humidity will hinder ventilation efficiency, leading to increased mould growth risk in moisture-prone areas. Other issues include higher indoor humidity, decreased comfort, intensified VOC emissions from materials, more air-conditioner use, prolonged drying times during construction, and dimensional changes in wooden elements. The lack of similar studies limits definitive conclusions and recommendations for the industry and policy makers. Addressing these issues can help to prevent costly moisture damage repairs, which already today cost billions of SEK annually.

Information about the division and the department
The position is at the Division of Building Technology, specializing in Building Physics. Other research areas cover Building Materials and Sustainable Building. Together, we are a team passionate about physics, chemistry, computations, and sustainability, working together to advance building technology. From molecular reactions to urban-scale flows, we tackle complex phenomena, create innovative tools, and in close collaboration with the industry, we guide industry and policymakers with evidence-based solutions. Our two laboratories offer excellent opportunities for physical and virtual experimentation. We are about 40 people, mostly PhD students and postdocs, from over 20 countries and well-balanced in terms of academic rankings and gender.  


Major responsibilities
As PhD student, your major responsibility and task is to carry out the doctoral project described above. This means that you will develop a theoretical frame based on reviews of relevant literatures, articulate targeted problem formulations, select appropriate methodology and methods, collect data, and systematically and critically analyze the findings from your studies.

During this PhD journey, you will be embedded in a larger team, comprising your supervisors as well as collaborators in academia, business and civil society. Nevertheless, you are expected to develop your own scientific constructs and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing, demonstrating your capabilities of progressively becoming an independent researcher.

Read more about doctoral studies at Chalmers here.

Qualifications
We are seeking a highly qualified individual with an MSc degree in civil or mechanical engineering, applied physics, or a related discipline. The ideal candidate will possess:


• Proven knowledge of the energy/hygorhtermal design and simulation of buildings.
• Programming and simulation skills in tools such as Matlab or Python. 

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms
The position is full-time for up to 4 years. It may include teaching or other departmental duties up to an additional 20% of 1 year at maximum. Preliminary start of the position is November 2024 but the starting date can be adjusted.

Projekt: Kärntekniska anläggningar ger upphov till olika former av avfall, både under drift och under nedmontering. Detta avfall behöver karakteriseras för friklassning eller vidare behandling som radioaktivt avfall. Några radionuklider är utmanande att analysera av olika anledningar och kräver flera analytiska tekniker, såväl som kunskap om de kemiska egenskaperna hos dessa radionuklider såväl som hos interfererande ämnen. Detta gör att endast ett fåtal laboratorier har förmåga att utföra analyserna.

Målet är att öka kompetensen att analysera dessa svårmätbara radionuklider i radioaktivt avfall från nedmontering av kärntekniska anläggningar. Detta ska uppnås genom att utveckla, implementera och validera kostnadseffektiva metoder för analys av flytande och fasta prover. För den kemiska separationen kommer vätske-vätskeextraktion att användas för att separera grundämnen baserat på deras löslighet och kemiska egenskaper. Utvecklingen av metoderna bygger på litteraturstudier. Relevanta radionuklider kommer att tillsättas till vattenprover och kemiska separationer utförs på dessa. Metoden kommer att optimeras för vattenprover och därefter ska metoden tillämpas på fasta prover samt optimeras och tillämpas på radioaktivt avfall.

In this Post-Doc position your work will contribute to the development of yeast cell factories with improved performance. More specifically you will investigate the contribution of proteostasis, oxidative stress, the proteasome and pH homeostasis, to the ability of yeast cell factories to produce aromatic chemicals. You will help advance world-leading, state-of-the-art research at the nexus of cutting-edge Biotechnology and Molecular Cell Biology.

Project description
The research group of Mikael Molin has in later years pioneered the molecular understanding of oxidants in protein homeostasis (a k a proteostasis). Because low levels of oxidants are produced endogenously and because they target protein synthesis, folding and degradation they have a profound impact on physiology and disease. Because of their role in feed-back regulating protein synthesis as a function of metabolism oxidants have also turned out to limit the productivity of cell factories. However, modern methods to measure ROS and expertise in redox signaling enables rational metabolic engineering to increase the productivity of yeast cell factories (Gast V, Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021; -, Bio-protocol, 2022).

Moreover, yeast cell factories transforming sustainable starting materials, such as lignocellulose, to fine chemicals sustain significant oxidative and acid stress that limit productivity. Interestingly, recent studies in the collaborating Nygård lab (Division of Industrial Biotechnology, Chalmers) has pinpointed a key role for genes involved in the dissociation of one of the major protein degradation complexes in cells, the ubiquitin-dependent proteasome, in acid resistance (Mukherjee V, mSystems, 2021), implicating further oxidative proteostasis networks in cell factory performance.

In this project you will take engineering further by incorporating modern oxidant/proteostasis probes, CRISPRi and high-throughout screening with the aim to develop resistant yeast cell factory strains able to produce higher titers of aromatic chemicals from sustainable starting material.

The Division for Language and Communication is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher interested in research on writing transfer and rhetorical flexibility in scientific publication and science communication, ideally with a focus on the development and evaluation of pedagogical activities. As a successful candidate, you will be working in a stimulating interdisciplinary environment with a vibrant and supportive community of scholars with ongoing international collaborations, and you will have the intellectual freedom to develop your own perspective and innovative ideas within a cutting-edge field.

Project description
The push for open science means that scientific knowledge is increasingly disseminated both inside and outside academia: future scientists need the right tools to communicate with a broad and diverse audience. This requires advanced writing expertise and rhetorical flexibility, well beyond writing for academic purposes. Unfortunately, writing education at the graduate and post-graduate level seldom addresses this need: writing research has not investigated how to promote transfer of writing skills and the development of rhetorical flexibility in the training of future researchers.

For this postdoctoral position, we seek applicants who are interested in addressing this gap. We invite project proposals which use or develop established theories in writing research and educational sciences, and adopt an empirical focus with a rich methodological approach in the investigation of pedagogical practices and task development in writing.
Possible interesting areas of research include but are not limited to (1) research on genre pedagogy in academic settings with a focus on learning dynamics and/or teacher perspectives (2) research on writing transfer (3) research on pedagogical writing-task development, including multimodality, use of LLM/AI, and/or multilingual approaches, 4) research on science communication pedagogy. To address the proposed research questions, we welcome qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches, as long as the proposed approach is well described and justified, and demonstrates a focus on data richness.

An ongoing international collaboration and a pilot project on multi-genre pedagogy will provide the interested applicants with a strong and reliable support basis, but applicants will be able to develop their postdoctoral work according to their interests and skills, and are therefore encouraged to present creative projects.

Major responsibilities
As a postdoctoral scholar you are expected to be a highly active member of the Language and Communication division and in particular the research groups on Writing in Doctoral Education and Scientific/science Communication, and Learning and Teaching in Higher Education. Depending on your research experience and research interests, you will have the possibility to supervise masters' students and be involved in teaching at the department (max 20% of your time). In addition, in collaboration with colleagues you will be expected to author publications and, potentially, seek external funding for research to enable the establishment of a future research platform involving your own as well as other's research.

Qualifications
The successful applicant has a Ph.D. degree in a field that is relevant to the research project described in their proposal/application (e.g. Educational Linguistics, Educational Psychology, Applied Linguistics, Education, Rhetoric and Composition, and/or STEM education with a focus on writing or communication). 

The applicant must have:
• Knowledge of and experience in applying qualitative and/or quantitative research methods (to the extent that this is relevant to the proposed project).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• A publication record in respected journals/conferences relevant to the field of research.
• Excellent ability to collaborate with colleagues and external partners.

It is meritorious if the applicant has pedagogical experience in academic writing and/or genre pedagogy. Additional meritorious qualifications include:
• Experience working with students and/or teachers in close-to-practice educational research.
• Participation in international research networks within the research area.

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

This call is for a postdoc who will have a key role in the development of characterization methods for heterogenous soft matter, in particular materials of wood-based origin. The focus will be NMR spectroscopy, adapted with the emerging dynamic nuclear polarization technique, using the only instrument of its kind so far in Scandinavia.

Project description
The vision of the project is to advance the understanding of molecular interactions within biocomposite materials and translate this knowledge into the design and production of high-performance sustainable materials. By elucidating the interfacial regions between the composite constituents, particularly investigating molecular interactions between biobased polymers and incorporated wood-based nanofibers, the project aims to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and structural properties of biocomposites, thereby enabling their widespread adoption across various industries. Traditional characterization techniques often lack the resolution and sensitivity required to probe these intricate molecular structures, particularly in a non-destructive manner. Overcoming these challenges necessitates the adaptation of solid-state NMR spectroscopy enhanced by cutting-edge dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), which offers unparalleled sensitivity and chemical selectivity.

Information about the collaboration and the division
Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC) is a research center striving for scientific excellence with a focus on new materials from trees. The center creates knowledge and builds competence for an innovative and sustainable future value creation from forest raw materials. WWSC is a multidisciplinary collaboration between KTH, Chalmers, and Linköping University. The base is a donation from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and the forest industry is supporting WWSC via the national platform Treesearch.

As a postdoc, you will be part of WWSC and join the activities at the Division of Applied Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Sustainable development is a central matter at the division where research is mainly directed with an applied focus and mostly concerns the development of new materials. In this specific project, wood-based biocomposites are at focus. The growing interest in these materials is accompanied by a demand on the research community to develop suitable characterization techniques to measure and understand chemical and physical properties in materials with high degree of complexity.

Major responsibilities
During your time as a postdoc, you will communicate the results from your project by publishing articles in relevant peer-reviewed international scientific journals and by participating to national and international meetings and conferences. Within the daily work as a postdoc, our ambition is that you find variation and interact with PhD students, but also undergraduate students, senior researchers and professors. A particularly important infrastructure for this project is the Swedish NMR Centre where most of the experimental work will be carried out.

Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

Qualifications
The most important qualification is your desire to devotedly work with research. You have a Doctoral degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, or equivalent.

Postdoc positions in giant atoms for quantum simulation or quantum communication

These postdoc positions are part of the 5-year project "Quantum simulation and communication with giant atoms" that began in 2023, funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research, with the aim of developing useful applications based on an exciting new paradigm in quantum optics: giant atoms. Giant atoms couple to light at multiple points, which gives rise to interference effects. The succesful candidates will, in theoretical studies using both analytical and numerical tools, harness these interference effects to either (i) control the interaction between giant atoms, which function as qubits, and their surroundings, to create quantum-simulation protocols for large molecules, or (ii) control emission of light from and absorption of light in the giant atoms functioning as qubits, to enable quantum communication and distributed quantum computing.

Project description
In quantum optics, it is common to assume that atoms can be approximated as point-like compared to the wavelength of the light they interact with. It is only in the past few years that experiments (at Chalmers, MIT, and other places), with artificial atoms built from superconducting circuits, have shown that this assumption can be violated. These artificial atoms can couple to an electromagnetic field at several points, which can be wavelengths apart. The study of giant atoms and the interference effects that arise from their coupling points is still in its infancy, but it is attracting increasing attention. In this project, we aim to go from fundamental research towards useful applications of giant atoms in emerging quantum technology.

The project is carried out in the stimulating research environment of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative started in 2018 with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer.

The WACQT team at Chalmers currently has about 80 members (faculty, permanent research staff, postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and undergraduate students) and is expanding. WACQT is committed to promoting career development, diversity, and gender equality through networking and supporting activities.

Information about the department and the division
Our department (MC2) is host to the state-of-the-art MC2 Nanotechnology Laboratory cleanroom, the largest such facility in Northern Europe, and our measurement lab at QTL is well equipped with cryogenic and microwave electronic equipment. We are in a position to build and operate large-scale quantum processors!

At the Applied Quantum Physics Laboratory (AQPL), we work on theoretical aspects of future high-performance nano-electronic systems. Our research covers a broad spectrum, from fundamental problems to very applied ones. We work in close collaboration with experimental groups such as the Quantum Technology Laboratory (QTL), especially within WACQT. For the research on giant atoms, we also have a long-standing collaboration with the experimental group of Prof. William Oliver at MIT.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility as a postdoc is to develop protocols using giant atoms for either (i) quantum simulation of open systems or (ii) quantum communication and distributed quantum computing. This will include both analytical and numerical work, and also communication with experimentalists who can implement the protocols that are developed in this project. You may also help in supervising PhD students and/or master's students working on other uses of giant atoms for quantum technology.

Qualifications
Required qualifications:
*PhD in Physics or neighbouring fields (obtained before employment begins)
*Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English
*Ability to program in high-level languages such as Python or C

Desired qualifications:
*Experience from working on quantum simulation, quantum communication, quantum chemistry, quantum optics, or quantum computing.

We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both in teams and independently. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a problem-solving analytical ability are important personal qualities for this position.

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.

We are glad to announce the postdoc position "Model-based condition monitoring of high-speed railway turnouts". Apply if you are interested to solve challenging inverse problems in applied structural dynamics in close collaboration with industry.

About the research
Switches and crossings (S&C, turnouts) constitute key components in railway networks as they allow for trains to change track. This functionality comes at a cost however as the rail discontinuities in switches and crossings induce greater loading and faster deterioration compared to plain line track. S&C are therefore often characterized as “hungry assets”, and it is of great interest for infrastructure managers to improve maintenance decisions for S&C. With the increased availability and reduced costs of sensors that allow for continuous remote condition monitoring data of S&C, more accurate maintenance decisions can be made with the right software tools for data analysis compared to what is possible if only intermittent track inspections are made. Continuous monitoring can also improve safety as faulty components can be detected at an earlier stage.

The overall objective for this position is to support the development of improved condition monitoring systems for high-speed railway turnouts. The condition monitoring system should take data from embedded sensors in track (e.g. inertia and acoustic sensors) and map it into a condition assessment of the turnout. As most damage modes (e.g. rail surface irregularities or rail cracks) cannot be directly observed with sensors, model-based inverse problem-solving approaches need to be applied. Currently multibody and finite element models are used within the research group for this purpose. The task for the PostDoc that we are looking to recruit is to either expand on these methods or find a novel path to address the project objectives. As it is difficult to obtain large sets of data including both structural responses and damage information to apply purely data-driven approaches, physics-based modeling or a mix of physics-based modeling and machine learning would probably be the most applicable.

A particular challenge of high-speed turnouts is that the most loaded rail components, the switch rail and the swing nose crossing, are constrained via support surfaces and switch and locking devices such that they can be set for traffic in different routes. This introduces contact conditions that give rise to both non-linearities and high frequency dynamics that makes condition monitoring more difficult compared to regular track.

Information about the competence centre 
The project will be carried out at Chalmers within the competence centre CHARMEC (Chalmers Railway Mechanics) in close collaboration with industry partner voestalpine Railway Systems within the EU-funded project Iam4rail. The overall goals of CHARMEC are to achieve increased quality in railway transportation while reducing production, maintenance, operational and environmental costs via improved understanding of the mechanical behaviour of railway systems. CHARMEC is primarily active in national and EU-level research projects but has a global outreach and recognition in scientific publications and conferences.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as Postdoc is to pursue your own research. This includes developing scientific concepts and communicating research results verbally and in writing. The position is a full-time temporary employment limited to 2 years including teaching or other departmental duties corresponding to 20% of working hours. You will be employed by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements.

Qualifications
PhD in a field relevant for the project, e.g. Solid and structural mechanics, Condition monitoring, Railway mechanics.

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.

Do you want to perform quantum experiments with a mesoscopic system? This project is then the ideal fit. The goal of the project is to explore the generation of quantum states in the center-of-mass motion of levitated microparticles. This research project builds upon our group's expertise in magnetically levitating superconducting microparticles on a chip. The research is placed in the vibrant research environment at Chalmers, encompassing the Quantum Technology Laboratory at the Department MC2 and the Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology.


About the project
Magnetic levitation of superconducting microparticles is a platform that greatly decouples the center-of-mass motion of a levitated mechanical resonator from its environment. This platform will enable ultra-sensitive force and acceleration sensors, as well as quantum experiments with macroscopic objects of 10^13 atomic mass units. The goal of the project is to generate quantum states in the center-of-mass motion of levitated microparticles. We will make this possible by merging magnetic levitation of superconducting microparticles with superconducting quantum circuits. Coupling these two platforms will allow us to reach quantum control over the motion of the levitated particles.


Information about the division and the department
The research project is experimental in nature, supervised by Prof. Dr. Witlef Wieczorek and funded by an ERC Consolidator Grant.

Projektbeskrivning

Människoförmedlad långdistansspridning (LDS) utgör ett hot mot den biologiska mångfalden på grund av många främmande arters invasiva framgång. Det finns dock bevis som tyder på att historisk LDS har stimulerat diversifiering, förmodligen genom att presentera nya möjligheter och villkor för ekologisk frisättning, men denna idé behöver testas på ett fylogenetiskt replikerat sätt. För detta projekt kommer doktoranden att fokusera på den stora Asteraceae Core Clade (24 000 arter), som initialt strålade i södra Afrika (SA) och globalt efter upprepad LDS till andra kontinenter. Det övergripande målet för doktoranden är att testa hypotesen att LDS stimulerar diversifiering på global och regional skala, vilket ger ett mönster av kapslad strålning. Det syftar också till att utvärdera de faktorer som modulerar effekten av LDS på diversifiering. Potentiella uppgifter inkluderar: (i) användning av högkapacitets- och Sanger-DNA-sekvensdata för att generera ett fylogenetiskt träd på artnivå för den SA-baserade ACC-strålningen; (ii) använda det resulterande trädet för att jämföra diversifiering mellan emigrantklader utanför SA och deras icke-spridda SA-systrar; och (iii) använda trädet för att testa LDS:s roll för att stimulera regional diversifiering inom SA. Det finns också utrymme att inkludera en komponent som jämför populationens genetiska mångfald och struktur i tre systerartspar som representerar nyligen LDS från SA till Medelhavet, och på så sätt testar inverkan av grundareffekter på diversifiering efter interkontinental LDS.

Doktoranden är placerad vid Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap under huvudledning av Prof G Anthony Verboom, även om detta projekt drivs i samarbete med forskare vid Göteborgs botaniska trädgård, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, South African National Biodiversity Institutet och universitet i Kapstaden (Sydafrika) och León (Spanien). Det finns också utrymme för samarbete med andra forskare vid Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap vid Göteborgs universitet.

 

Arbetsuppgifter   
Huvuduppgiften är att genomföra avhandlingsarbetet under handledning vilket inkluderar att doktoranden kommer att utveckla sina kunskaper och färdigheter i metodologi, analysförmåga och ämnesteori. Tekniker som kommer att användas inom projektet inkluderar fält- och herbarieprovtagning av bladmaterial för molekylärt arbete, beredning av DNA för sekvensering, bioinformatisk bearbetning av sekvensdata, fylogenetisk analys, GIS-baserad rumslig analys och jämförande makroevolutionär analys. Studierna kommer att bedrivas mestadels i fält och laboratorium. Fält- och herbarieprovtagning kommer att göras i Sydafrika, Spanien och Marocko, och det finns en möjlighet att göra en del av arbetet på Kew. Specifika forskningsämnen kopplade till forskningsprojektet inkluderar evolutionsbiologi, biogeografi, fylogenetik, makroekologi och systematik.

Utbildning på forskarnivå omfattar fyra års heltidsstudier och leder fram till en doktorsexamen.?   

Inom ramen för din doktorandanställning kan du ha institutionstjänstgöring i en omfattning av max 20 % av heltid fördelat under hela utbildningstiden. Institutionstjänstgöring omfattar vanligtvis undervisning på grundnivå och avancerad nivå, men även forskning och administration kan ingå.

For this project, the PhD candidate will work on a novel, multi-modal deep learning approach to accelerate computational drug discovery, with a focus on degraders, ADME modeling, and generative AI. The PhD candidate will work in the AI Laboratory for Molecular Engineering, led by Assist. Prof. Rocío Mercado Oropeza at Chalmers. This position is funded by the Swedish Research Council.

Project description
Data-driven approaches to drug design, such as deep biomolecular generative models, have emerged as powerful strategies for engineering new molecules with desired properties and repurposing existing molecules for new tasks. As implied by the term “data-driven”, these methods require large amounts of data to make accurate predictions, ranging from structural and biochemical information about targets and ligands, to genomic and phenotypic data. Such data can be used to build computational models which improve our understanding of the complex relationships between molecular structure and biological function. By using machine learning, statistical modeling, and simulation, data-driven drug design can help identify new drug candidates, optimize leads, and predict drug efficacy and toxicity with greater accuracy and speed than with traditional rule-based methods.

One key advantage of data-driven drug design is its ability to account for the many factors that affect drug behavior in vivo, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicity, before synthesizing and testing a compound. By integrating data from multiple sources and applying data-driven methods, generative models can propose new drug candidates which fulfill a desired property profile, or repurpose existing drugs for new indications, with greater efficiency and precision than traditional drug discovery approaches. Furthermore, data-driven drug design enables the development of personalized medicine by enabling the identification of patient subpopulations that may benefit from specific drugs, doses, or drug combinations.

Of particular interest in this project are new modalities for targeted protein degradation, such as PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs), Regulated Induced Proximity TArgeting Chimeras (RIPTACs), etc. Multi-target therapeutic modalities such as these have become increasingly important for the treatment of complex diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Unlike traditional single-target drugs that aim to modulate the activity of a single protein or pathway, multi-target drugs are designed to simultaneously interact with multiple targets involved in the disease pathway(s) that contribute to disease progression. By modulating multiple targets, multi-target drugs can achieve synergistic effects, reduce the risk of drug resistance, and improve therapeutic outcomes. Multi-target drugs can offer a more comprehensive approach to disease treatment than single-target drugs by addressing the complexity and heterogeneity of a range of diseases. They can, for instance, be used to target proteins without well-defined binding pockets, and their catalytic mechanism of action means lower doses could potentially be used to observe a desired therapeutic effect.

Information about the division and the department
The AI Laboratory for Molecular Engineering (AIME) is based in the Data Science & AI (DSAI) division in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). Led by Dr. Rocío Mercado Oropeza, our group uses methods from machine learning and the life sciences to understand how molecules interact to form complex systems, and how we can use these insights to engineer molecular systems for therapeutic applications. We are currently focused on applying our computational tools to improving the understanding and design of molecular systems for drug discovery and materials applications. We interact closely with leading academic and industrial groups in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, materials science, and computer science. In AIME, we seek to create a vibrant and collaborative environment where students and postdocs are supported in their pursuit of challenging research questions at the forefront of machine learning and the molecular sciences.

The CSE department is a joint department at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, with activities on two campuses in the city of Gothenburg. The department is divided into four divisions, and employs around 270 people from over 30 countries. Research in the department has a wide span, from theoretical foundations to applied systems development. We provide high quality education at the bachelor's, master's, and graduate levels, offering over 120 courses each year. We also have extensive national and international collaborations with academia, industry and society.

Our aim is to actively improve our gender balance in both our department and division. We therefore strongly encourage applicants from historically-excluded groups to our positions, such as women and non-binary individuals. As an employee of Chalmers and CSE department, students are given the opportunity to contribute to our active work within the field of equality and diversity.

Major responsibilities
The major responsibilities for a PhD student position in the division include conducting doctoral research and coursework. By the end of the PhD, students will be able to identify novel research directions and design the appropriate computational experiments to answer key questions. Students are expected to effectively communicate the results of their research verbally and in writing, and will receive specific training towards building these skills. This position also includes teaching at Chalmers' undergraduate level, or performing other teaching duties corresponding to 20% of working hours. The appointment is a full-time temporary employment for a period of not more than 5 years, funded by the Swedish Research Council.

Postdoc position in Improved qubit coherence by materials modeling and process development
The Quantum Technology (QT) laboratory at the department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2), Chalmers University of Technology is on a quest to deliver the milestones set by the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT). This 12-year-long research aims to promote Sweden to become a leading power in the field of quantum technology. WACQT is committed to promote career development, diversity, and gender equality through networking and supporting activities.

Information about the project
One of the main projects in WACQT is designing and building a quantum computer with the ability to solve problems beyond the capabilities of even the best conventional supercomputers. Join us if you have expertise in device fabrication and characterization techniques and want to work in a world-class cleanroom, if you are motivated to collaborate with colleagues to build quantum computers and have a career in quantum technology, in academia or at an institute or a company. For more information, visit Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) in Sweden and OpenSuperQPlus within the EU Flagship on Quantum Technology.

Major responsibilities
The reduction of quantum gate errors represents the most important problem in the development of quantum computers in any device technology. By this metric, superconducting qubits constitute a leading platform, with the best demonstrated two-qubit gate errors currently at the 0.1-0.2% level (Sung 2021, Ding 2023). Meaningful quantum computing requires that these errors be reduced to 0.01% in a scalable and reliable way across the multi-qubit chip.

These quantum gate errors are fundamentally limited by decoherence. Dielectric loss is the currently dominant decoherence mechanism in superconducting qubits (Burnett 2019). Other important contributions to decoherence originate from phonons and quasiparticles.

Here we propose a study of decoherence at the level of the physics of the constituent materials. We foresee that this effort will drastically improve our understanding of the microscopic mechanisms of decoherence and its effect on our devices, which will directly help improve the design and process development of our devices already during the project.

Recent works at Chalmers have yielded qubits with a relaxation time of over 250 µs using aluminum (Biznarova 2024). We will build on this work and our other studies on the experimental characterization and numerical modeling of superconducting resonators (Chayanun 2024, Niepce 2020). This project will complement the ongoing process and device development at Chalmers.

Project description
The position is centered around characterizing novel materials for the transition to sustainable energy by total scattering methods. In the newly founded Multiscale Inorganic Energy Materials group within Chalmers’s Energy and Materials division, we synthesize materials with novel structural motifs on different length scales. These are then functionalized as catalysts towards water splitting or CO2 reduction. Many of these new materials feature local structures that deviate from the average structure probed by X-ray diffraction. Yet, it is the local structure that will dictate the reactivity of the catalytically active site. You will investigate the relationship of materials’ local structure to their functional properties via total scattering methods.

For this mission, we seek a motivated and skilled postdoc to contribute to groundbreaking research at the interface between solid state chemistry, materials science, and catalysis. You will also be involved in the synthesis of materials, either performing them yourself or in collaboration with the group’s PhD students. You will explore the variation in local structure caused by different synthetic pathways on new layered bulk and nano materials and study the relationship to their physical and catalytic properties. Catalytic properties will be studied in close collaboration with researchers from the Applied Chemistry division. The objective is to develop novel structural motifs that can enhance the conversion of renewable energy into valuable base chemicals, such as hydrogen from water electrolysis.

Major responsibilities



• Characterization of materials' structures and physical properties, with the main focus on pair distribution function analysis and powder X-ray diffraction incl. Rietveld refinement as a side activity
• Proposing and executing experiments at large scientific facilities such as MAX-IV, DESY, ILL etc.
• Synthesis of solid materials in a chemical laboratory
• Communication of research results through scientific publications, public presentations, and internal memos
• Collaborating effectively within the department and outside institutions
• Conducting independent and self-motivated research activities

Project description
The position is centered around creating and characterizing novel materials for the transition to a sustainable energy system. In the newly founded Multiscale Inorganic Energy Materials group within Chalmers’s Energy and Materials division, we aim to create materials with novel structural motifs on different length scales. These are then functionalized as catalysts towards water splitting or CO2 reduction. Within this project, you will create of novel layered materials where the A layer conducts electrons while the B layer features catalytically active edge sites for CO2 reduction. This requires the investigation of different synthesis pathways towards the target composition and elucidation of the materials structure. The structure will then be related to physical properties and catalytic performance.

For this mission, we seek a motivated and skilled postdoc to contribute to groundbreaking research at the interface between solid state chemistry, materials science, and heterogeneous catalysis. You will prepare materials by methods of solid state chemistry, characterize their structure and physical properties as well as functionalize them as catalysts towards CO2 reduction. Catalytic properties will be studied in close collaboration with researchers from the Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering division. The objective is to develop novel structural motifs that can enhance the conversion of renewable energy into valuable base chemicals, such methanol or formic acid.

Looking for a unique and collaborative endeavor at the cutting edge of photonics and quantum engineering? Read on!

Our goal at Chalmers is to build a useful quantum computer. The complexity of today's quantum processors must be increased to help fields like chemistry and medicine. We are forming a new interdisciplinary team to understand and increase the power of quantum technology.

Information about the project and the environment
The positions are in the brand-new Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL). We are scientists, applied physicists, and engineers. We explore the flow of and interactions between light, sound, and microwaves.

There is no reliable path to a sustainable growth in society's capability to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication. In classical datacenters and computers, this energy loss leads to heating and greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging quantum processors, the energy loss prevents scaling up small quantum devices into more powerful systems. We are developing new hardware to address this. Read more on our webpage and in this popular science article.

This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer. We are members of the Quantum Technology division in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). We work with the experimentalists in the Photonics division and the theorists at the Applied Quantum Physics division.
