The research focuses on two applied sec...

Stockholm University’s Department of Meteorology (MISU) is advertising a PhD student position in Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography with a focus on aerosol-cloud-climate interactions . The project addresses how aerosol particles and clouds influence liquid clouds and Earth’s radiation budget, with possible research directions including testing a new theoretical framework for shallow convective clouds and analyzing satellite-era trends in radiative forcing. Methods may include numerical simula...

Stockholm University is advertising a PhD student position in Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography focused on clouds in the atmospheric boundary layer . The project studies boundary layer cloud processes using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and a novel Lagrangian microphysics approach implemented in the turbulence solver Neko . The successful candidate will contribute to code development and simulate cloudy marine boundary layers observed over the Baltic Sea . The work is embedded in the Departmen...

The project sits in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, within the Division of Materials and Manufacture, and focuses on combining materials science , additive manufacturing , 3D printing , and battery manufacturing to develop new approaches for battery fabrication with improved design flexibility, performance, and s...

Job alert from the University of Gothenburg : two research positions are open with Daniel Zuleta and his team as part of the ERC project TWIG . The openings are for one PhD student (4 years) and one postdoc (3 years) to study the drivers and consequences of branch dynamics in tropical forests . The research is highly quantitative and uses multi-temporal terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) together with other forest methods. The work includes substantial fieldwork in two major tropical forest system...

PhD opportunity in Biology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden This doctoral position is focused on tropical forest ecology and carbon dynamics , with a project on how forests gain and lose biomass through tree growth, mortality, branch loss, and recovery. The PhD is part of the ERC Starting Grant project TWIG , which combines repeated terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) with long-term forest inventories to quantify damage, recovery, and biomass redistribution in tropical forests. The work will...

Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is advertising a PhD in Forest Management focused on birch health and biotic threats . The doctoral project is based at the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre in Alnarp, Sweden and is part of Trees For Me , a Centre of Excellence working on fast-growing broadleaved trees for sustainable forests, materials, and energy. The research examines why birch is increasingly important in Swedish forestry and what limits its successful use in climate-a...
