Driftsassistent över sommaren till projektet ReCod på Ar

Torsken i Östersjön är hotad. ReCod projektet ska ta reda på om det går att hjälpa torsken förbi det sårbara äggstadiet och därmed öka antalet småtorskar i havet. Projektet föder upp och sätter ut torsklarver utmed ostkusten för att se om och hur larverna överlever, om de klarar att etablera sig på nya platser och till vilken kostnad det låter sig göras. ReCod söker nu en driftassistent under sommaren till projektet på forskningsstationen Ar på Gotland.

Master thesis on the decomposition of organic matter, IEG, UU

Organic matter (OM) in soils, peat, and sediment are important global carbon sinks. Processes that control its persistence and degradation are critical for the concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane. Hence, it is important to understand how certain mechanisms change along environmental gradients, examining the role of environmental and molecular constraints on OM degradation. In this master’s thesis, you will use elemental analysis in combination with bomb calorimetry to assess the potential for decomposition of organic matter across a broad spectrum of ecosystems. The main aim is to develop and refine methods to measure the oxidation state and bulk energy of soil organic matter.

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

PhD position on deep learning models for genetic epidemiology, IT, UU 

The deep learning models that exist for genomics do not readily support training with the large number of genetic variants investigated in most studies, nor the number of individuals that characterize large-scale study cohorts such as the UK Biobank. A deep learning approach holds the promise to truly understand the variability and patterns of human genomes, including the ability to directly find connections between genetic variation and disease risk, at scale. The hope is that this could be the start of a new data-driven era for research in genetic epidemiology.

Doctoral student in Ecology/Fish Ecology, Linnaeus University

The timing of life-history events such as migration and reproduction (i.e. phenology) influences the environmental conditions that organisms experience during these stages, and can affect reproductive success and survival. Timing life-history stages to match whenever conditions are suitable is thus crucial for the success of individuals and populations. With environmental conditions and seasonality currently changing due to climate change, there is an urgent need of improving our understanding of whether and how environmental change, across and within years, may result in phenological mismatches with impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function. This 4-year, fully funded, PhD project investigates the consequences of changing environments on phenology, life-history traits, migration patterns, habitat utilization and species interactions of Baltic Sea coastal predators (e.g. pike, perch and cormorants).

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an ideal method to non-invasively study the optical phase delay (or phase retardation) of samples, such as living cells. In this master degree project, you will develop an analytical pipeline to process existing QPI images. Your tasks will involve: (i) converting existing QPI images into a readable format, (ii) aligning images, (iii) segmentation and detection of bacterial cells and (iv) the mathematical processing necessary to derive from QPI images the dry-mass of individual cells. If time permits, you will also be involved in performing exposure experiments in microfluidic devices in conjunction with automated microscopy.

Two master thesis students to help find biomarkers for small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors

Despite major efforts to improve prognostic variables for small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs), there is still a lack of reliable biomarkers for clinical use. In order to identify new molecular prognostic factors, gene expression variation studies in SI-NETs has identified differentially expressed genes related to specific copy number alterations. This project, open for two interested master students the coming fall semester, is meant to further validate and functionally characterize the candidate genes found by expression analysis in order to develop potential biomarkers of poor prognosis, and to identify driver genes in SI-NET tumorigenesis.

PhD position on modeling with interdisciplinary focus, Grimsö Research Station, SLU

Countries are consistently failing to meet agreed targets to reduce the loss of biodiversity. This failure raises the question of whether existing legal instruments, theories and methods are fit for the purpose of protecting species, populations and ecosystems as well as whether and how their effectiveness can be improved. The purpose of this project is therefore to develop a theoretical and applied understanding of the interplay between legal and ecological systems and document, analyze, model and improve our understanding of how law and conservation affect each other, with the goal of improving the ability of the law to conserve species.

PhD on "Interdisciplinary decision support for drained wetlands", SLU Umeå

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

4 year PhD-position in evolutionary ecology at Lund University

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

Algal toxins in the Baltic Sea – effects on fish health?

The eutrophication of the Baltic Sea is driving large blooms of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria and also contributes to the occurrence of filamentous algae. The increased abundance of these primary producers can lead to an elevated production of algal toxins with potentially harmful effects on fish. Within this project, suitable/adaptable for degree project (master), internship or research training, you will have the chance to evaluate how exposure to algal toxins in fish from the Baltic Sea has changed over time, and in addition link levels of these substances to fish health data from ongoing environmental monitoring.

Three PhD positions in Ecology, Umeå University

These three positions are part of a large interdisciplinary project that aims to understand and quantify how processes during the arctic winter may be decisive for overall feedbacks from arctic tundra to the global climate. Arctic ecosystems store large amounts of organic carbon in plants and soil. Uptake of carbon by arctic plants is strongly limited by their access to nutrients, especially nitrogen, due to competition by microbes. Year-round carbon and nitrogen balances thus depend on the activities of plant and microbial communities and their seasonality. More details about the specific positions in the respective appended files.
