1. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Computer and Systems Sciences, with focus on Enterprise Architecture and Digital Transformation
Summary of PhD Project
As a PhD student, you will collaborate with researchers at the Information Systems unit at DSV to tackle the challenges of aligning IT infrastructure with evolving business strategies through the lens of Enterprise Architecture (EA) in the context of digital transformation. The research centers on the application of simulation models to analyze the impact of legacy decisions on current IT and business processes. By adapting existing tools to simulate various scenarios within an EA framework, the project aims to identify and quantify obstacles to organizational agility and efficiency.

2. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Metamorphic petrology
Summary of PhD Project
This PhD project aims to reconstruct the behavior of the fluids in the crust during the formation of a mountain belt. To achieve this, the project will integrate quantitative analyses of metamorphic rocks—including metapelites, calcsilicates and marbles—with petrological and geochemical constraints. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct fieldwork in the Scandinavian Caledonides and work with rock samples from a drill core (COSC-1) from Jämtland (Sweden) recovered by the International Continental Drilling program in 2014.

4. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Neurochemistry with molecular neurobiology
Summary of PhD Project
This PhD student position is in the research team of Associate Professor Anna-Lena Ström. The team seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), such as the polyglutamine disease spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

5. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Bioinformatics
Summary of PhD Project
We have studied domain evolution and observed that structural change is roughly linear with sequence change. However, larger structural changes might also occur within a domain during evolution, particularly within transporters3. Further, domains can be combined to create multi-domain proteins. Most domain architectures arise from adding or removing a single domain at the N- or C-terminal regions, while certain repeat-domain families undergo more internal duplications.

6. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Analytical Chemistry in luminescent nanoprobes for in vivo bioimaging
Summary of PhD Project
Luminescent nanoparticle may serve as bioimaging probes to study their distribution in vivo in animal studies. This imaging is crucial during the development of nanoparticle based therapies. In this project, we will utilize the potential of flame aerosol nanoparticle synthesis to produce a variety of luminescent nanoparticles active in the near-IR. We will control their optical properties to maximise their detection in vivo, and we will also tune their surface properties to render them suitable for biofunctionalization. We will aim to target specific organs by specific biofunctionalization strategies.

7. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Analytical Chemistry in advanced robust biochemical sensors
Summary of PhD Project
Paper-based diagnostics exhibit great potential for environmental and health sciences applications. In this project, the doctoral candidate will directly deposit optically active nanoparticles on filter papers by flame aerosol direct deposition and utilize them for point-of-care diagnostics in biomedicine (e.g. to detect bacterial presence in biological fluids), and for environmental applications, for example to detect the presence of pesticides in agricultural products.

8. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Materials Chemistry
Summary of PhD Project
The project deals with the CO2 utilization through the catalytic conversion of CO2 into polymers in one step or multisteps. The type of the catalysts, and the catalytic mechanism, and the optimization of the catalytic conditions will be systematically investigated. Both high selectivity and yields are important. Polymers of our interest are primarily polycarbonates, and other polymers can be included.

9. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Materials Chemistry for Sustainable Organic Semiconductors
Summary of PhD Project
This project explores blends of organic semiconductors and insulating polymers to address these challenges. By integrating insulating polymers, we aim to lower the carbon footprint, improve processing scalability, and maintain or enhance the electronic performance of the active layer.

10. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Arctic Aeolian Processes and Paleoclimate
Summary of PhD Project
This PhD project aims to understand the connections between aeolian processes, carbon accumulation and fires in Arctic Fennoscandinavia. Although cool and wet climates are often overlooked in mineral dust research, the presence of loess and sand dune systems in these regions highlights the existence of dust dynamics even at high latitudes. Dust plays a complex role in the Earth’s climate and is an important pathway for nutrient transport, and thereby, ecosystem productivity.

11. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Molecular Biosciences
Summary of PhD Project
We are actively seeking a highly motivated candidate with a passion for developing experimental methods to join our team. In this role, you will be involved in a groundbreaking project aimed at studying protein interactions in cells and tissues, making use of the expertise of the Piazza lab. With proof-of-concept already established, you will work to refine and optimize the method to achieve broad applicability and high reproducibility. You will have the opportunity to apply this novel approach to explore pressing biomedical questions and leveraging this knowledge to advance treatments for human tumors and immunotherapies.

12. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Environmental Science, Stem Cell-Based Models and Toxicology
Summary of PhD Project
The PhD position is fully funded for 4 years and will be carried out in Oskar Karlsson’s group at SciLifeLab. The project aims to develop and apply advanced in vitro models for studying neurotoxicity using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). A central focus will be on differentiating hiPSCs into neural lineages and generating 3D brain organoids to better mimic key aspects of human neurodevelopment.

13. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Environmental Science: non-target PFAS screening by GC-HRMS
Summary of PhD Project
The thesis work will be carried out as part of the FORMAS-funded project “Identification and Characterization of ‘Lipophilic’ Fluorinated Organics in the Blubber of Marine Mammals (IDing-LFOs)”. This project challenges the prevailing assumption that PFAS bioaccumulation is primarily driven by protein binding. Building on our initial discovery of novel PFAS in marine mammal blubber, we will apply advanced gas chromatography–atmospheric pressure chemical ionization–ion mobility mass spectrometry (GC-APCI-IMS) to further identify and characterize compounds within this class.
