Project Offers
IBG works in several ways to stimulate students themselves to create, develop and maintain relevant contacts with work-life. One part of this effort is to help you as a student to find suitable projects for research internships, degree projects, PhD positions, etc. In the project database we publish project offers from academia, corporations and government agencies. We sometimes also announce different career promoting events of a more general nature. The sub page "Want to know more?" below also has permanent links to external resources that may be valuable to help find additional projects.
Scroll down to see all the present projects!
Some projects are described in English; others in Swedish. The current offers are listed below. Older, archived offers can be found via the link on the right.
We also collaborate with EIT Health, an extensive EU spanning network aimed at technology, innovation and entrepreneurship within different parts of the health sector, as well as at active ageing. EIT Health at Uppsala university continually arrange various courses and events of interest to you as a student, but they are also able to lend support if you have specific innovative ideas that you want to substantiate and develop.

Degree projects on recombinant spider silk, KTH Biotech
Spider silk has an elegant way of combining strength and elasticity into a protein-based material. A miniature spider silk protein, 4RepCT, can be recombinantly produced in E. coli and still maintain the ability to spontaneously form silk-like fibers. Here are flexible opportunities to take part in many different ongoing projects on cell culture in silk, with different orientation, depending on the tissue aimed at mimicing or creating. Take a contact to see what master projects are available at the moment (or later during the academic year), and to see if anything is of interest to you!

Degree projects / research trainings on epigenetics evolution
Epigenetic inheritance is common, but whether it is adaptive is still not known. The Lind lab. has just finished a long (100+ generations) experimental evolution experiment in environments predicted to select for or against epigenetic inheritance, and several projects are now available to investigate the evolution of epigenetic inheritance and its evolutionary dynamics. The lab. works with the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei as a model system and thanks to its short generation time (3-4 days) it is very suitable for collecting robust data even within the timeframe of a typical student project. For further details, see:

Master level thesis at GE Healthcare, on analytical methods for recombinant mAb´s
Product heterogeneity is common in recombinant mAb production and it is typically introduced either upstream during expression or downstream during purification. Variants are aggregates, deamidation products, glycosylation variants, etc. Even small structural differences can affect preclinical stability, process optimization as well as the therapeutic potency, bioavailability and immunogenicity of the product. In this very attractive degree project you will build a mAb characterization toolbox using many different high resolution analytical techniques in order to fully characterize and compare mAbs during expression and purification.

Improved clinical imaging of head and neck cancers - Degree project at KI
CD44v6 is an antigen overexpressed in squamous cell carcinomas, especially in the head & neck region. Previously several targeting molecules towards this antigen have been assessed for molecular imaging using PET (Positron emission tomography) with promising results. Recently, two scFv’s (single chain fragments) towards CD44v6 were selected and affinity maturated in a collaboration between UU, KI and KTH, demonstrating the best properties for molecular imaging that has been achieved so far. The group now wants to take this project further by optimizing and evaluating the top candidate for potential in molecular imaging of squamous cell carcinoma. This degree project may allow you to take part in and contribute to this important work.

Four Master’s projects in comparative genomics in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
Here are flexible opportunities within molecular ecology and evolution, focusing on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi that are organisms in symbiosis with 90% of present day land plants. It is believed that they have maintained such interactions for at least 450 MY, coinciding with the colonization from water to land by plants. This makes them key organisms for studies on evolution. Because of the difficulties in culturing, little is known about their genomic organization but the lab has developed novel methods to sequence them, using single nuclei sorted directly from spores. Check out possible projects further in the pdf below!

PhD on mutational variation in the mammalian genome, Edinburgh
Here is a highly interesting PhD position meant to address such fundamental evolutionary questions as the nature of variation arising from spontaneous mutations and its importance for diverse questions, including the genetic basis of complex trait variation, the causes of inbreeding depression and the maintenance of nucleotide variation in the genome. The PhD studentship is fully funded by the European Research Council (via an Advanced Grant award), and is open to applicants from the EU. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the principal supervisor ahead of application to discuss the project.
PhD: "Causes and consequences of mutational variation in the mammalian genome"
Department: Institute of Evolutionary Biology, University of Edinburgh
Place: Edinburgh, UK
Start: Fall 2018
Application: Deadline July 21, via link in the pdf; Please contact the PI ahead of actual application! -

PhD position in plant cell and molecular biology, SLU
Here is an exciting chance to do a PhD on plant autophagy. The project will focus on establishing a detailed time-resolved in planta analysis of the autophagic response to short and prolonged stress. Plant autophagy is known to be important for drought and salt stress tolerance, plant-pathogen interactions, fecundity and longevity of the plant, but many details of its regulation remain to be studied.
Department: Department of Molecular Sciences, SLU
Place: Utluna campus, Uppsala
Start: December 10, 2018 (or later / negotiable)
