2. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Europe has committed to upscale nature protection to include 30% of land and sea, but due to historical overexploitation of natural assets, the area that is available for protection is limited. Borders between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, i.e., riparian zones, contribute disproportionately to regional biodiversity and delivery of ecosystem functions and services. Because of this and their branching geometry, riparian networks form systems of ‘green-blue arteries’, which spatially connect multiple ecosystems, despite representing relatively small areas. In this international project (RIPARIANET), we aim to develop approaches that optimise the spatial conservation prioritisation of stream-riparian networks, by investigating a range of riparian processes and functions and biodiversity measures, and by performing field studies as well as by using remote sensing information.

3. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Our multi-professional research group at the Department of Community Medicine and Rehabilitation; Physiotherapy, studies human movement control particularly in persons with movement deficits following trauma or disease. The current research project addresses the consequences of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Based on specific research questions, we aim to assess how knee function and movement ability are affected and how this and psychological aspects, such as fear of secondary injury, affect the individual We also develop and evaluate assessment methods for these aspects based on, e.g., three-dimensional movement analysis, brain imaging techniques, clinical tests and questionnaires.

4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The aim of this project is to understand and quantify the impacts of burrowing earthworm expansion on plant-soil interactions or soil food webs in Sweden’s northern forests, and how these changes feedback onto ecosystem processes. We will use controlled mesocosm experiments to quantify the effects of burrowing earthworms on northern soils and plants. There are also opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration with other projects studying earthworms, for example with eDNA techniques.
Application Deadline: 2023-05-25
5. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We are an interdisciplinary team of experimentalists, analysts and modellers, who work together closely to address important questions of malaria parasite development and transmission. We are now looking for an experimental geneticist for projects funded by the European Research Council and the Wallenberg Foundation. Aim of the position is to study the biology of sexual development and transmission of malaria parasite and their interactions with the vector. We seek to gain a genome-level mechanistic understanding of malaria transmission to get at the questions of vector competence and develop transmission blocking strategies.

7. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Lagerlöf Lab is a diverse group of people with a background in molecular biology, biochemistry, neuronal circuit mapping and clinical psychiatry. We integrate these techniques to reveal how appetite is encoded by the brain. Our overall aim is to identify fundamental mechanisms of food intake that can be harnessed to treat conditions associated with unhealthy eating habits such as anorexia nervosa and obesity. The goal of this project is to develop a novel biosensor to image in the brain how specific metabolic signaling pathways affect food intake. Every member in our lab is supported to lead their own project. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone enjoys the freedom, courage and ability to answer the big questions in neuroscience.
Application Deadline: 2023-05-19
8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The postdoctoral fellow is expected to conduct independent research. The research must be connected to the humanities, with a focus on digital humanities. The postdoctoral fellow will be linked to one or a few of Humlab’s identified focus areas, which are: digital practice, digital methods, arts and pedagogical development.
In addition to own research, the tasks include contributing to the development of Humlab’s research environment by actively participating in workshops, seminars and other research activities. The tasks within Humlab (up to a maximum of 20 %) may for example consist of teaching, teaching and research coordination, activities at our labs and collaboration with surrounding departments and any other stakeholders. The tasks may vary slightly over time depending on the needs of the unit.

9. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
This call is for a postdoctoral fellow in interdisciplinary artistic research within the field of New Media Art. The position is within one (or several) of the artistic practices of crafts (textile, wood/ metal), music or visual arts intersecting areas of Human Computer Interaction or Information Systems.
The broad aim of the position is to: A) establish a critical framework for interdisciplinary research across one of the artistic practices: crafts/music/visual arts and new digital technologies. B) investigate how new digital technologies can shape the creative context and process, and the generated artwork/outcome. C) generate new knowledge through the production of new creative practice-based research.

12. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The aim of project is to address key questions about the processes and mechanisms related to zoonotic and vector-borne disease transmission by developing and working with models accounting for ecological, evolutionary, or epidemiological aspects typically in relation to environmental- and climatic change to better understand relevant processes, to make predictions and guide intervention strategies. There are opportunities to customize the postdoctoral research within this context depending on interests and qualifications and the work will be conducted primarily within the Horizon Europe projects IDAlert and/or BEPREP and there will also be good opportunities for interactions and collaboration with the PANDASIA project
