PhD Student in Evolutionary Genomics
PhD Student in Evolutionary Genomics The Department of Ecology and Genetics (IEG) is part of the Evolutionary Biology Centre (EBC), a dynamic and internationally recognized center for evolutionary biological and ecological research. IEG comprises research groups working at all levels of biological organization (from molecules to ecosystems) and with several different study systems (plants, animals, fungi, bacteria). The Program for Plant Ecology and Evolution, where the doctoral position is located, houses nine research groups focusing on genomics, adaptation and speciation, as well as community ecology. Researchers have access to state-of-the-art greenhouses and climate-controlled facilities, modern molecular biology laboratories, and a high-performance computing cluster (UPPMAX). The Department works closely with the national infrastructure SciLifeLab. Brief project description: Sex ratios and the evolution of sex chromosomes Sex chromosomes are of fundamental importance in biology, but our understanding of their evolution remains limited. Genetic conflicts, such as meiotic drive affecting sex ratios, have long been linked to the rapid evolution of sex chromosomes and may thus contribute to divergence and speciation. This project studies a plant genus, willows (Salix), which are dioecious. Within Salix, a biased sex ratio favoring females is common and high turnover of sex chromosomes has been described. (More description of the project is available on Uppsala University's website, https://uu.se/jobb/) In this doctoral project, you will conduct research on some of the most fascinating questions in evolutionary biology: how sex chromosomes evolve and what determines sex ratios in natural populations. You will work with advanced methods in population genomics, bioinformatics and modeling, and, to a lesser extent, also with experiments in growth chambers and in the molecular biology laboratory. As a doctoral student, you will participate in a customized course program that supports your scientific and academic development and strengthens your teaching skills. For those interested, there are good opportunities to participate in teaching. Qualification Requirements Eligible for doctoral level education is someone who has completed a degree at the advanced level in biology with specialization in evolutionary biology, population genetics/genomics, bioinformatics or a related field. You are also welcome to apply if you are expected to complete your degree shortly. Please explain this in your application. has completed at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits at advanced level including an independent project of at least 15 higher education credits, or has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way. Eligible applicants must be able to demonstrate skills in evolutionary biology and advanced population genomics. Applicants should also have the ability and interest to work in a team, while being able to work and contribute independently. Applicants must be able to express themselves very well both orally and in writing in English. In evaluating candidates, special weight will be given to personal qualities such as independence, strong motivation and good teamwork skills. Merits Previous experience with population genomic modeling (e.g., SLiM), analysis of structural variants from long-read data, and population genomic analyses (WGS) are advantageous—these techniques will be needed in the project. Education or previous participation in research on sex ratios, evolution of sex chromosomes, structural variation, selfish genetic elements, meiotic drive or related topics is an advantage. At least a smaller part of the doctoral project will include molecular laboratory work and experiments with plants (willow species). If you have previous experience with these methods, that is good, but it is not necessary; however, we expect candidates to be interested in learning these practical skills. Although the project has a preliminary plan with funding from the Swedish Research Council, the various parts of the project will be revised and further developed based on current progress and results. We expect the doctoral student to take an active role in the project's development! About the Position The position is fixed-term according to the Higher Education Ordinance 5 ch § 7. Full-time.

PhD Student in AI and Machine Learning for Cancer Research
PhD Student in AI and Machine Learning for Cancer Research The Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology at Uppsala University has a broad research profile with strong research groups focused on cancer, autoimmune and genetic diseases, among other areas. One of the fundamental ideas at the department is to stimulate translational research and thereby closer collaboration between medical research and healthcare. Read more about the department here: https://www.uu.se/institution/immunologi-genetik-och-patologi Do you want to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to understand — and reprogram — the behavior of one of the world's most dangerous cancers? We are looking for a PhD student who wants to conduct world-class research on glioblastoma: a brain tumor whose mortality is not driven by spread to other organs, but by its ability to continuously change biological character and invade brain tissue. With us, you get the opportunity to combine cutting-edge AI method development with direct experimental validation, in an international research environment with strong collaborations and unique resources. The research group is led by Professor Sven Nelander at IGP Uppsala University. We work at the intersection of AI/machine learning, systems biology and experimental neuro-oncology. Over more than a decade, our group has built up unique resources: a biobank with over 100 patient-derived glioblastoma cells (distributed to 54 laboratories in 17 countries), large-scale Perturb-seq data, self-developed CRISPR reporter tools, and a prototype system for multimodal AI. The group is part of the national strategic research center CNSx3 and has links to UUniFI's AI institute. A unique setting for cutting-edge research with genuine interdisciplinary character. The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council, the Cancer Society, KAW and SSF. Responsibilities The fundamental problem we want to solve is to understand how cells in a brain tumor choose to change character — and how we can use that knowledge to actively direct them toward more treatment-sensitive states. We call this state steering. Unlike conventional cancer therapy, which aims to kill tumor cells with broad-acting therapies, state steering aims to reprogram them. Through reprogramming, a range of effects are achieved, such as reduced invasion, increased sensitivity to radiation, or senescence. You will work with two main types of data collected as part of the strategic research center CNS×3: large-scale intervention experiments, where we systematically map how genetic and pharmacological perturbations affect tumor cell plasticity, and image-based tracking data, where individual tumor cells are monitored in real time as they migrate through brain tissue. The goal is to build AI models that combine these data sources and can predict how a given treatment affects tumor behavior and outcomes. Existing tools such as hidden Markov models (HMM), which are used to analyze individual cell movements in image data, are special cases of this framework. The new contribution, rewire-seq, is a more general and data-scalable version that combines large-scale intervention experiments with image-based cell tracking to provide a coherent picture of tumor dynamics. A key component of the project is cyclic experimentation: the model's predictions directly guide the choice of the next experiment, and results are fed back into the model — a process that makes the research progressively more precise. You will work closely with experimental colleagues in a team-based environment and together transform biological questions into computational solutions with clinical relevance. Qualification Requirements Eligible for education at the research level is a person who has - completed a degree at advanced level in computational biology, bioinformatics, machine learning, applied mathematics, biophysics, molecular biology, or similar, or - completed at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits at advanced level including an independent project of at least 15 credits, or - acquired in essence equivalent knowledge in some other way. The project requires solid understanding of the mathematics underlying AI and machine learning — for example linear algebra, probability theory and statistical inference. You should have concrete experience with demanding data analysis, for example in genomics, image analysis or biochemical screening data. Strong programming skills in Python, R or another language are necessary. We are open to applicants with the potential to combine experimental and computational work. The project suits you if in the long term you want to work with cutting-edge research in academia or industry. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. Excellent spoken and written English is required for the role. Desirable/Meriting Experience Experience with single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, CRISPR screening, or image data. Experience with deep learning or graph neural networks. Experience with dynamic systems modeling or systems control. Previous experience with method development or published research. Interest in cancer biology and ability to formulate biological hypotheses based on data.
