This PhD project will include designing and carrying out field experiments to investigate if proper management of the surrounding landscape can enhance the conservation value of grasslands for flower-visiting mobile insects. Specifically, the PhD student will study measures that create complementary/supplementary food resources – particularly late in the season when grasslands are often heavily grazed – and thereby potentially reduce extinction risks and enhance population sizes of pollinating insects in semi-natural grasslands.

PhD Research Fellow in Coastal Ecology, Norway

Are the invasive Pacific oysters a resource or a nuisance? A bit of both? Can we find out where they come from and predict where they are going? Will they decimate native bivalves, or can they happily co-exist? Can they adapt to brackish waters, colder waters, and climate change, and thereby spread even further? Can we subject them to commercial harvesting to keep the population growth in check? If these or other relevant questions tickle your scientific fancy, the University of Agder (UiA) invites applications for a three-year, full-time, fixed-term appointment as PhD Research Fellow in coastal zone ecology.

Master degree project: Ecotoxicology on a chip, EBC

Environmental pollution can affect the growth and metabolism of exposed organisms. Ecotoxicologists typically measure growth and metabolic effects in complex multicellular organisms with slow generation times. Although this approach usually detects the adversity of pollutants well , it is also expensive and time-consuming. In this master thesis, you will make use of the rapid growth of bacteria in state-of the art microfluidic devices with the aim to accelerate the detection of adverse chemicals in aqueous solutions.

Assessment of the biological properties of biomaterials on-chip

The longer life expectancy of the global population has increased the need of repairing bone injuries caused by fractures and local diseases. An appealing approach to restore this loss of function involves the use of biomaterials. However, it is widely known that the current models to assess novel biomaterials do not translate well to the situation in vivo. The aim of this master degree project is to develop microfluidic systems in which the biological properties of biomaterials can be studied. Strong focus will be put on the biological characterization of the systems, particularly in the context of bone regeneration.

Sustainable bioproduction of fuels for aviation, Ångström lab

Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering have potential to contribute to solving some of the main challenges of 21st century. Biotechnology can be used to mitigate climate change by lowering the use of fossil raw materials for fuels and other products. Here is an interesting opportunity for a thesis work, or possibly a research training/internship, about harnessing and optimizing cyanobacteria for the production of raw materials for jet fuels.

Masters degree project in restoration ecology

This new project will evaluate the effects of rewetting of drained peatlands, on the vegetation and on the greenhouse gases emission. Two rewetted sites will be studied: Anderstorp stormosse (Småland) and Ånsjön (Jämtland). The student will primarily investigate vegetation recovery and link this to ecosystem functions. There is also a possibility to upscale results by using drone images. Field work will be conducted at both sites during summer 2020.

Degree project on genome evolution and adaptive processes in natural populations

In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for correct development and associated with key processes like aging, transposable element inhibition, the formation of barr bodies and imprinting. However, the prevalence of methylation in regulation of gene activity across taxonomic groups is largely unknown. The specific aim of this degree project is thus to characterize the methylation landscape and investigate how methylation is associated with gene expression levels and genomic features in butterflies.

PhD on insect evolution, London, UK

Bioinformatics students are particularly encouraged to apply for this PhD position, meant to study how horizontal gene transfer from insect symbiont microbiomes may contribute during insect evolution. It is crucial to better understand the dynamics of horizontal gene transfer in insects as the acquisition of novel traits from microbes is already starting to transform our view of how arthropods evolve. This is of particular importance for insect pests as it may underlie their capacity to colonise new environments and resist efforts to control them.

PhD in Ecology, SLU Uppsala

Rapid climate change across the Arctic affects interactions among species and ecosystem functions driven by these interactions. For this PhD you will apply versatile tools to reconstruct Arctic ecological interaction networks. As focal interactions plant–pollinator, plant–fungus and plant–bacteria networks are used. Among ecosystem functions, focus is on the transport of pollen; the type of association (positive or negative); and plant biomass. Overall, data analysis and lab work will dominate over field work in this PhD project, although obtaining hands-on experience with some of the Arctic focal sites will be required.

Masters Degree Project: Detection of archaic hominin introgression in modern African populations

The present project is a bioinformatics/population genetic investigation into potential sources of archaic admixture into modern day African genomes. African populations have been shown to present patterns suggesting ancient admixture, however, they do not show any trace of introgression from Neanderthals or Denisovans. The objective of the project will be to produce a detailed picture of this introgression, specifically answering the following questions: Do we see concrete evidence of archaic introgression? Is there a single or multiple archaic sources? Do different African population present different levels of introgression? A bioinformatics background and some population genetic knowledge is required. A minimum level of R and bash is required, knowledge of Python will be ideal. See more information in the attached description.
