KTH Royal Institute of Technology is offering a doctoral project in fusion plasma physics and nuclear engineering, within the third-cycle subject of Electrical Engineering. The research addresses the development of durable plasma-facing components for future fusion reactors. The PhD student will investigate damage caused by runaway electrons to plasma-facing components, a critical issue in assessing fusion-reactor disruption consequences. The project will develop and validate numerical tools usi...

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 ...

About the project This PhD project focuses on elbow dysplasia (ED) in dogs , a common hereditary developmental disorder affecting the elbow joint. The work aims to improve knowledge about risk factors, optimal treatment, long-term outcome, and prognosis, with the broader goal of improving treatment results and animal welfare for affected dogs. The project includes several sub-projects and combines epidemiological and clinical approaches. The doctoral student may take part in journal-based studie...

This PhD project at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) focuses on RNA-based plant protection, with an emphasis on spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) as a strategy to combat crop diseases. The work explores how externally applied double-stranded RNA can reduce pathogen gene expression and how RNA reaches target organisms, is taken up, and remains biologically active. The doctoral student will develop and evaluate SIGS approaches against wheat leaf blotch caused by Zymoseptoria...
