PhD Opportunities in Veterinary Science in Sweden

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 ...

This doctoral opening at Malmö University focuses on standardizing multi-omics approaches for research based on oral fluids, with the aim of supporting more reproducible disease-related science. The project title signals an emphasis on bringing together omics technologies and developing more consistent methods for analyzing oral-fluid samples. The position is based at Malmö University, an innovative and internationally oriented university in Sweden. The advert presents the university as a collab...

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 position is based at the Department of Aquatic Resources at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU Aqua) and focuses on the management and conservation of critically endangered fish, with a particular emphasis on eel ( Anguilla ). The project addresses key knowledge gaps around trap and transport (T&T) , a management method used to support fish migration in river systems with barriers and to reduce turbine mortality for downstream-moving fish. The doctoral project is desig...

A PhD position in biology with specialisation in aquatic ecology is available at the Department of Aquatic Resources (SLU Aqua) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The project addresses the management and conservation of critically endangered fishes, with a particular focus on Anguillid eels . The doctoral research is centred on Trap and Transport (T&T) , a method used in fragmented river systems to help fish continue migration and to reduce mortality associated with hydropower t...

This PhD project at Uppsala University is based in the Department of Ecology and Genetics within the Limnology program at the Evolutionary Biology Centre (EBC) . The project focuses on phytoplankton succession in lakes and how these communities respond to environmental change. The student will work on process-based biogeochemical and dynamical modelling to study the drivers of seasonal changes in phytoplankton community composition. The research examines how physical and chemical conditions, pre...

This PhD project at Umeå University sits at the intersection of molecular biology, bioinformatics, and computer science, within the Department of Molecular Biology and the national DDLS Research School in Data-driven Epidemiology and Biology of Infection . The student will work on developing computational methods and software for analysing complex biological data generated by the group’s single-cell multiomic approaches. The research focuses on microbial genomes and bacterial communities across ...

This doctoral project focuses on developing methods to integrate animal welfare and antibiotic use into sustainability assessments of foods, meals, and dietary patterns. The work sits at the intersection of food systems sustainability, life cycle assessment, and decision support, with the goal of creating credible and transparent information for choices in production, procurement, dietary guidance, and menu planning. The doctoral student will join the research group for sustainable food systems ...

This doctoral project at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences focuses on equine internal medicine and the treatment of insulin dysregulation in horses. The research is centered on laminitis , a serious equine disease often associated with elevated insulin concentrations in the blood, and investigates how SGLT2 inhibitors influence glucose and lipid metabolism. The project also evaluates whether this drug treatment can speed recovery in horses with acute laminitis caused by hyperinsuli...
