Phd in Biology or Animal Science, SLU Uppsala

Pastoral productionsystems, like reindeer husbandry, make use of animals’ natural adaptation to the environment and their ability to transfer otherwise underutilised resources into meat and other products. Rapid and pronounced climate change in the Arctic causes distress, challenges and economic uncertainty in the pastoral reindeer herding system of indigenous Sami. Furthermore, competing anthropogenic activities continuously increases and inhibits the flexibility of the system. In this project you will investigate the possibilities and limitations for herders in a northern pastoral system facing increasing external stress to adapt to the effects of climate change.

Master thesis within the End-of-Wastewater project, SLU/LiU

Balancing nutrient flows between human settlements and the rest of nature within planetary boundaries is essential for life on earth and for safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services, notably healthy water bodies and soils. Recirculating nutrients from wastewater organic residuals to agriculture can make important contributions to more circular nutrient flows and improved food security. The aim of this thesis is to delve deeper into selected Swedish case studies where communities have already implemented an alternative sanitation technology to facilitate nutrient recovery and to investigate the financial, logistical, and cultural factors that affected the longevity and success of each project.

Degree project: "Turning cancer defects into cures", Karolinska Institutet

Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer which has been therapeutically exploited since the 1950s. The use of antimetabolites targeting cancer metabolism has been shown to effectively kill cancer cells; however, they inhibit enzymes also found in normal tissues, resulting in severe toxicity and limiting their therapeutic potential. It is therefore of great interest to further characterize cancer metabolism to identify better therapeutic strategies. Here is a chance to contribute towards this aim by investigating in detail two key enzymes in the de novo purine synthesis pathway and how these enzymes support DNA replication and repair in cancer cells.

Degree project: "Can fungal decomposition of organic matter result in the production of CRAM?", EBC

Fungi are fundamental in the decomposition of soil organic matter, and one important product of this degradation is ’dissolved organic matter’ (DOM) in aquatic systems. DOM goes on to be a critical part of ecosystems, and is an important part of the terrestrial flux of atmospheric carbon dioxide to the deep ocean. Fungi thus play a critical role in Earth’s carbon cycle, but the mechanisms of how they decompose organic matter are quite poorly understood due to the complexity of soil organic matter, DOM and fungal community composition. If you are interested in helping move these knowledge boundaries ahead and shed more light on the intricacies of the carbon cycle, and in particular find out what may be the source of carboxyl rich alicyclic molecules (CRAM), an unusually recalcitrant compound class in DOM that has no known biological function, then this may be a degree project for you!

Master thesis within the End-of-Wastewater project, SLU/LiU

Balancing nutrient flows between human settlements and the rest of nature within planetary boundaries is essential for life on earth and for safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services, notably healthy water bodies and soils. Recirculating nutrients from wastewater organic residuals to agriculture can make important contributions to more circular nutrient flows and improved food security. The aim of this thesis is to delve deeper into selected Swedish case studies where communities have already implemented an alternative sanitation technology to facilitate nutrient recovery and to investigate the financial, logistical, and cultural factors that affected the longevity and success of each project.

Student projects on the evolution of spore killing genes in pathogenic fungi, EBC

Meiotic drive allows selfish genetic elements to bias their own representation in the offspring. One example of meiotic drive is spore killing in fungi, which has been well-described in Podospora anserina. In this species, carriers of the so-called Spok (spore killing) gene kill sibling spores that do not carry the gene. Bioinformatic research has found Spok-like genes in diverse families of fungi, with several diverged copies within species. Would you be interested in studying the evolution of this gene family in the plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium using both laboratory and bioinformatic approaches? Here are flexible and negotiable opportunities for doing a degree project or a research training within this exciting field.

Research training / Internship on the distribution of biomedical variants in African populations, EBC

Recent advances in SNP-genotyping, whole-genome sequencing and population genetics/bioinformatics methods has helped reconstruct the genomic diversity of human populations at unprecedented resolution. However, African populations are still under-represented in such genomic studies. Here is a chance for you to do a master project which will contribute towards closing this knowledge gap and in particular investigate the geographical distribution of genetic variants with important biomedical implications in diseases such as trypanosomiasis and malaria in African populations.

Structure-function investigation of the non-catalytic RuBisCO small subunit, BMC Uppsala

RuBisCO, the most abundant protein on earth, catalyses carbon fixation in the rate-limiting step of the reductive pentose phosphate cycle of photosynthesis. This crucial step, which is surprisingly inefficient for an enzyme catalysed reaction, leads to the incorporation of CO₂ into the biosphere. Here is a chance for you to do a degree project or a research training/internship on the structure-function relationship of the non-catalytic Rubisco small subunit, from Rubisco variants using cryogenic electron microscopy (CryoEM).

Doctoral student in Natural Science, specializing in Biology, University of Gothenburg

The aim of the project is to investigate the genetic regulation of plant water use, with focus on common bean. The possibility to use the generated results in practical plant breeding for agriculture in Rwanda will be investigated. Whole genome sequencing of genetic mapping populations will be used to identify genetic loci associated with physiological traits. Traits of interest include e.g. water use efficiency, leaf-level gas exchange, and osmotic potential. The project is a collaboration between the University of Gothenburg, University of Rwanda, and Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board. Field trials will be conducted on site in Rwanda.

Doctoral student in Computational Biology, Lund University

Ancient DNA (aDNA) has changed history studies, enabling us to analyze early genetic variation directly. In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the amount of collected aDNA and high-profile investigations. Still, insufficient information about the timing and geographical origin has limited the usefulness of the collected data and resulted in many erroneous reports. The project aims to develop machine learning tools to date aDNA and predict the geographical origin of the DNA material. The methods will be used to reconstruct the origin of domestic horses and their contribution to the success of Scandinavian Vikings.
