PhD Opportunities in Electrical Engineering

This PhD position is in medical science at Linköping University and is embedded in a research group working on the modulation and pharmacology of proton-activated chloride channels. The project addresses ion channels that have attracted attention as promising drug targets in areas such as ischemic stroke, cancer and viral entry into cells. The doctoral student will work on understanding how these channels function and how small molecules can modulate their activity. The research combines molecul...

University West is recruiting a doctoral student for a Kamprad-funded project in the research group NormAIL at the Department of Health Sciences. The project sits at the intersection of work-integrated learning (AIL) , caring science and virtual reality (VR) . It focuses on how digital learning environments can support competence development among staff working in municipal elderly care, especially in relation to palliative care for people with dementia. A central part of the research is the use...
