PhD Opportunities in Biology in Sweden

Uppsala University is seeking a PhD student in plant evolution to join the Plant Ecology and Evolution program in the Department of Ecology and Genetics. The department is part of the Evolutionary Biology Center, an international research environment focused on fundamental and applied biological questions through an evolutionary perspective. The project, Convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers , investigates how similar floral traits have evolved independently across plant lineages polli...

This doctoral position at Linköping University is centred on applied ethics and a project on ethical questions surrounding age as a basis for prioritization in healthcare . The research focuses on the challenges raised by an aging population and is described as primarily ethical, while also allowing for empirical-ethical elements. The position is embedded in a collaborative setting between the Division of Philosophy and Applied Ethics within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Prioriteringscent...

PhD project on convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers at the Plant Ecology and Evolution program , Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University. This doctoral project examines how similar floral traits have evolved repeatedly across independent plant lineages in response to bee pollinators. The student will investigate buzz-pollinated flowers, a widespread example of convergent evolution, to compare similarity in floral form with similarity in function across several plant fam...

Linköping University is offering a PhD position in philosophy with a focus on applied ethics. The doctoral project will examine ethical questions surrounding age as a basis for priority setting in health care, particularly in response to the challenges of an ageing population. The project must have a clear ethical focus, while allowing for the use of empirical approaches. The PhD student will be based across the Division of Philosophy and Applied Ethics in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and th...

This doctoral project at Malmö University is part of the national BioLabX research school and addresses the future of non-invasive laboratory diagnostics through the use of oral fluids, especially saliva, as diagnostic material. The research aims to develop and validate standardized methods for multi-omics analysis, with a particular emphasis on metabolomics and proteomics , so that biomarkers in oral fluids can be identified and validated in a reproducible way. The project is framed around the ...

The doctoral project is based in the bioinorganic chemistry group within the molecular biomimetics program at the Department of Chemistry – Ångström , Uppsala University. The group is described as internationally recognized, highly visible, and located in a modern building at the Ångström Laboratory. The research environment is strongly collaborative, with cross-disciplinary interactions and cooperation with specialists at Uppsala University and other universities in Sweden and abroad. The proje...

This PhD opening is at Umeå University , within the Faculty Office of Medicine . The faculty is described as a large research and education environment with responsibility for biomedical research and teaching in nursing and health care, and it offers extensive research and graduate education across many subjects. The advert presents Umeå University as a broad, research-intensive institution with a strong emphasis on collaboration, open academic culture, and societal transformation. The PhD stude...

The PhD project is based in the Crespi group at Uppsala University’s Department of Chemistry – Ångström Laboratory, a large chemistry environment with strong internationally oriented research and education activities. The work focuses on phosphorus-based photoswitches and the project “Hemiphosphaindigos: New Gears for Molecular Machines” , funded by the Swedish Research Council. The successful candidate will work on the design and synthesis of new phosphorus-containing indigoid chromophores and ...

Trees For Me is seeking a PhD student in forest genetics to join a research environment based at Skogforsk, in collaboration with the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). The doctoral project will investigate how flowering and seed production can improve silver birch breeding . By examining these reproductive processes, the research aims to support the development of more productive and resilient birch forests and contribute to sustain...
