PhD Student in Practical Philosophy in the DEMCAMP Project
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked among the world's leading academic institutions. We have approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 staff members in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's living conditions. About the Education DEMCAMP investigates how applied ethics can contribute to understanding and addressing the vulnerabilities that refugees experience in refugee camps in the Global South. The project develops a normative theory of democracy that can respond to the economic, legal, and political systems that emerge in the camps. Within the project, the doctoral student will write a thesis on the democratization of humanitarian organizations and their role in refugee camps, particularly organizations such as UNHCR. "Democratization of Refugee Camps" (DEMCAMP) is a project funded by the Swedish Foundations' Starting Grant, via the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. The research leader of the project is Felix Bender. DEMCAMP asks what applied ethics has to say about the many refugees who do not live in the Global North but remain in the Global South and, more specifically, in refugee camps. The project investigates how we can understand and adequately respond to the vulnerabilities that refugees experience in camps. The project develops 1) a theory that better captures the vulnerabilities that refugees experience in refugee camps and 2) a normative democratic theory that can address these vulnerabilities. DEMCAMP shows that in refugee camps we can observe the emergence of economic, legal, and political systems that each function according to their own rules and logics, leading to refugees experiencing a set of vulnerabilities that remain invisible if refugee vulnerability is defined externally by humanitarian organizations, such as UNHCR, and only then applied to refugee camps. To adequately respond to the vulnerabilities that refugees experience, refugee camps need to be democratized. For more information about the project, please visit https://startinggrant.se/researcher/felix-bender/. The doctoral student will work on the democratization of humanitarian organizations and collaborate with the project leader (PI) on the roles that humanitarian organizations should play in refugee camps with a democratic structure.

PhD Student in Biology with Focus on Microbial Ecology
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked as one of the world's leading academic institutions. Here you will find approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our pursuit to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's living conditions. Description of the Position You will be active within the research environment Microbial Biogeochemistry in Lund (MBLU) at the Department of Biology, Lund University, under the supervision of Professor Johannes Rousk and Senior Researcher Dr. Lettice Hicks. MBLU is a research environment that studies terrestrial ecosystems to increase our understanding of how soil microorganisms regulate global biogeochemical processes and how these affect ecosystems' responses to environmental changes. We are an interdisciplinary research group consisting of microbial ecologists, ecosystem ecologists, biogeochemists, and model developers who share a common research vision and combine empirical studies with modeling. Our research focuses on carbon and nutrient cycling in soil ecosystems worldwide – from arctic tundra to tropical rainforests and semi-arid grasslands. We are particularly interested in factors affecting the spatial and temporal variation in microbial community structure and function, as well as their resistance to various types of stress. Special emphasis is placed on environmental factors such as soil moisture, temperature, nutrient limitation, salinity, and pH, as well as anthropogenic factors such as tillage, fertilization, and metal pollution. Through field and laboratory experiments, we investigate how microorganisms regulate ecosystem functions and how these are affected by the environment. The ecological knowledge generated is then integrated into models that operate at various spatial and temporal scales. Being a PhD Student As a doctoral student, you are both admitted as a student and employed by Lund University. Doctoral education provides you with training in scientific methodology. You develop the ability to think critically and analytically, to independently formulate and solve scientific problems using appropriate methods, and to make research ethics assessments. During your studies, you will also have the opportunity to participate in research projects and develop your leadership and pedagogical skills. Throughout your doctoral education, you will receive support from your supervisors. Your studies conclude with a doctoral dissertation and a doctoral degree. More information about doctoral education at the Faculty of Science is available at naturvetenskap.lu.se Subject and Project Description We are seeking a doctoral student to investigate whether and how soil microbial communities can adapt their characteristics to improve their function during drought and after the drought has ended. The project specifically aims to clarify how microorganisms' resistance and resilience to drought arise, as well as what ecological, physiological, and/or evolutionary mechanisms underlie these processes. The work will combine controlled laboratory experiments, greenhouse pot experiments, and field experiments to increase understanding of how microbial ecology affects ecosystem biogeochemistry. There will also be an opportunity to integrate ongoing studies where experimental drought treatments have been conducted in arctic and other terrestrial ecosystems. The project's central analyses include determining microbial growth in intact soil samples using radioactive and stable isotope tracing methods, as well as measuring biogeochemical processes such as carbon and nutrient cycling. The project offers qualified doctoral education in soil microbial ecology and biogeochemistry. The work is primarily laboratory-based but includes opportunities for fieldwork. The project is particularly suitable for applicants with backgrounds in soil microbial ecology, ecosystem ecology, and biogeochemistry. General Study Plan for Doctoral Education Duties and Responsibilities You will primarily dedicate yourself to your doctoral education, which largely consists of writing a doctoral dissertation. During your studies, you will learn to determine microbial growth rates in intact soil samples by tracing isotope uptake (stable and radioisotopes) in various biomarkers. By determining growth rates under gradients of environmental conditions (e.g., water content), you will be able to determine functional trait compositions, which can be described with mathematical functions and represented in ecosystem flow models. To answer your research questions, you will have the opportunity to use a combination of field experiments (e.g., rain exclusion treatments), greenhouse experiments, and microcosm experiments in the lab. A large portion of the work will be connected to analytical methods in the lab. You will analyze large amounts of biological data extracted from your experimental systems and use advanced analytical methods as well as write scientific articles. You are expected to actively participate in ongoing projects within the research group and plan and conduct your own analyses of how microorganisms' processes depend on water availability and how they can adapt to drought. As a researcher, you will also present your work in seminars and at international conferences. Doctoral education also includes a number of mandatory courses and elective specialized courses that contribute to your development in formulating and presenting scientific questions. In addition to your studies, a maximum of 20% of your working time may be devoted to teaching and other departmental work. Depending on your background, you may teach in introductory biology courses or more advanced courses such as soil and plant ecology.

Postdoctoral Fellow for Studies of Complement in the Aging Blood Vessel
Lund University was founded in 1666 and is consistently ranked among the world's leading academic institutions. It has approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malmö. We are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's conditions. Workplace Description The postdoctoral position is located in the Cellular Biomechanics research group within the Vascular Physiology research environment at the Department of Experimental Medical Science (EMV), Faculty of Medicine, Lund University. EMV conducts molecular, cellular, and integrative research at the highest international level and trains tomorrow's leading researchers. The Vascular Physiology research environment comprises three research groups and approximately ten active researchers. The activities are located at BMC D12 and have access to 300 m² of laboratory and office spaces with modern infrastructure for physiology and cell biology. The environment includes two professors, two senior lecturers, as well as doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and technical staff. The expertise encompasses transgenic models, in vivo physiology, and advanced bioinformatics, with close connections to university platforms for imaging and omics. The recruited researcher will study the significance of the complement system in age-related vascular disease. The work involves development and characterization of transgenic models that mimic age-related changes in complement activity. The postdoctoral fellow will also participate in ongoing collaborative projects, including an active collaboration with researchers at the University of Copenhagen within an initiative funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The Department offers an inclusive research environment characterized by respect, openness, and collaboration. Professional development is encouraged through flexible working conditions that promote well-being. With a focus on equality, structured leadership, and well-developed occupational health practices, EMV provides a sustainable and stimulating environment for research and career development. Project Description Our research combines experimental approaches with analyses of human biobank material and clinical databases to understand how mechanical forces regulate gene expression. We have recently mapped transcriptomic changes in arteries from aging humans and rodents (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2025.108400; https://doi.org/10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.125.26119) and now aim to clarify the underlying mechanisms by developing transgenic models and investigating their significance for vascular function and vascular disease. A central goal is to model increased expression of the complement system in aging arteries, where the postdoctoral fellow is expected to contribute to collaborative projects with the University of Copenhagen and the University of Gothenburg. The work is funded by several major Swedish research funding agencies, with specific support for the postdoctoral position from the Novo Nordisk Foundation (https://novonordiskfonden.dk/en/grant-recipient/?category=72&paginate=1&sort=DESC&search=metabolic+ageing). The position offers excellent opportunities to develop an independent and internationally competitive research profile in leading Nordic research environments. The project is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation's initiative Metabolic Ageing – Collaborative Project Grants, which provides opportunities to participate in joint workshops, symposia, research exchanges, and other networking and dissemination activities together with affiliated research groups studying metabolic aging. Duties and Responsibilities At Lund University, a postdoctoral position should provide the opportunity for scientific and pedagogical qualification and advancement. Priority is given to opportunities for qualification within research, but also to some extent higher education pedagogical training. Teaching may also be included in the job duties. Several complement factors increase in the arterial wall with advancing age. Since complement factor H (Cfh) limits complement activation on tissue surfaces, vascular knockout of Cfh constitutes a synthetic aging model expected to promote pathological processes such as atherosclerosis and aneurysm formation. To investigate this, you will generate cell-specific and inducible knockout mice by crossing endothelial (Tie1) and smooth muscle cell-specific (Itga8) Cre lines with mice carrying floxed Cfh alleles (https://mice.jax.org/). Genotyping is performed externally, but you will be responsible for colony and tissue sample management, including breeding strategy, cage planning, and tamoxifen treatment for inducible knockout models. You will also plan and conduct experiments in close collaboration with colleagues, which on occasion may involve work outside regular working hours. Vascular phenotypes will be analyzed using histological and physiological methods, including disease models based on hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. Systemic complement activation and potential kidney effects will also be investigated. In addition to leading the work with the Cfh models, you will collaborate closely with our research partners at the University of Copenhagen and contribute to ongoing studies of mechanically regulated transcription in the arterial wall. You are expected to present your results at international conferences, within the research environment, and in the broader collaborative network. Funding from the Novo Nordisk Foundation includes an annual travel allowance for participation in symposia as well as funds for operating costs and laboratory costs (bench fee). Qualifications Requirements for employment: Doctoratе degree or equivalent foreign degree in physiology, pharmacology, molecular biology, or experimental medical science. The doctorate must be completed, or alternatively the dissertation must be submitted and approved for defense, no later than when the employment decision is made. Strong ability to develop and conduct high-quality research. Pedagogical ability. Excellent collaboration skills and ability to work independently. Very strong ability to communicate in English, both orally and in writing, with the ability to clearly present research results and communicate with both the research group and external collaborators and other stakeholders.
