PhD Student in Quantum Information Theory
Project Description Graduate Research Subject: Electrical and Systems Engineering The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council and the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT) and addresses fundamental questions in quantum information science, with applications in quantum communication, quantum computing, and other forms of quantum information processing. The overarching goal is to establish the ultimate limits on what resources are required and what performance can be achieved in such tasks, as well as to develop explicit protocols that achieve or approach these limits. A central challenge is to express these limits in mathematically tractable and computationally accessible forms. Ideas and methods from quantum Shannon theory will be particularly useful, together with tools from entanglement theory and the broader mathematical foundations of quantum information. The project will investigate fundamental information-theoretic quantities, including entropy, mutual information, channel capacities, and various measures of entanglement, as well as how these behave when quantum systems or information processing resources are combined. Questions about additivity and non-additivity form an important part of this broader research program.

PhD Student in Experimental Fluid Mechanics and Complex Films
Project Description Research Education Subject: Engineering Mechanics FLOW is a strong research environment with researchers conducting both basic and applied research in fluid mechanics at the Department of Engineering Mechanics. We are seeking a PhD student with an experimental focus in fluid mechanics for the Fluids and Surfaces group within FLOW. This position offers an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated candidate to contribute to a cutting-edge research project, funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR). The project aims to increase understanding of how complex films, including biological and living films, interact with surrounding fluid flows. Such films occur extensively both in nature and in technical applications, from mucus in the lungs to biofilms on medical devices and ship hulls. When exposed to shear and potentially time-varying flows, the films can deform into complex shapes, exhibit unusual material properties, and evolve over time. Thus, they constitute a dynamic and continuously changing boundary for the flow. Simultaneously, the films affect the overlying flow and can alter both friction drag and transport and exchange of various substances. Despite their significance, the coupled interaction between complex films and fluid flows remains poorly understood. This limits our ability to predict and control these systems and presents significant challenges in medical, industrial, and geophysical applications. In this project, the PhD student will work with and further develop a unique experimental platform for studying complex films under controlled yet complex flow conditions. The experimental work will be complemented with continuum modeling of complex materials, data-driven methods, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Supervisor: Shervin Bagheri is proposed to supervise the PhD student. A decision will be made upon admission.

PhD Student in Sociological Demography
Department of Sociology Founded in 1954, the Department of Sociology offers a dynamic research environment with many interdisciplinary collaborations and a strong international research profile. English-language master's and doctoral programs in sociology and demography attract applicants from many parts of the world. Currently, we have master's students, PhD students, and researchers with backgrounds from at least 15 different countries. The Department is particularly competitive in the areas of demography, ethnic relations and migration, gender, family sociology, political sociology, social policy, social networks, and social stratification. The Department is also home to Stockholm University's Demographic Unit (SUDA), an international group of researchers and PhD students working on many different aspects of population dynamics. Demography is one of Stockholm University's leading research areas. More information about us is available at: Department of Sociology. Project Description The dissertation work will be conducted within the framework of the ERC-funded project "Social Inequalities in Bereavement: From Demographic Rates to Lived Experience (DEM-LOSS)," led by Professor Isaac Sasson. The loss of family members is a universal human experience that profoundly affects social and psychological well-being. Declining mortality in high-income countries has made this experience more predictable across the life course, but there is considerable variation between social and socioeconomic groups in when and to what extent individuals lose family members. The DEM-LOSS project aims to establish the demographic and social determinants of this type of loss across the life course, to document social differences within and between countries, and to understand how this in turn shapes how individuals feel, think, and act. The study is conducted at multiple sites, including Tel Aviv University and Stockholm University. The study will examine the loss of family members across several social and national contexts, including Sweden, Israel, and other countries. More information about the project is available on the project website. The PhD student will be part of a research group based at Stockholm University and is expected to contribute to one or more research objectives through both independent work and group work. The work consists of formulating research questions, preparing literature reviews, conducting data analysis, coding, and writing research articles. Previous training in quantitative research methods is required, as is experience with various demographic data sources (e.g., population registers, administrative registers, survey data). A key responsibility of the PhD student will be to use the Swedish population register to link kinship across multiple generations, in order to investigate the occurrence of family losses across the life course, its underlying demographic factors, and individual consequences. Eligibility Requirements To be admitted to doctoral education, applicants must meet both general and specific eligibility requirements. These requirements must be fulfilled by the final application deadline. You meet the general eligibility requirement if you have completed an advanced degree or completed at least 240 higher education credits (hp), of which at least 60 hp are at the advanced level, or have acquired equivalent knowledge in another way, domestically or internationally. Specific eligibility requirements are described in the general study plan for doctoral education in Sociological Demography. Selection Selection among applicants is made with regard to the ability to benefit from doctoral education. The criteria used to assess this ability are: Documented knowledge in one or more of the following areas: kinship demography, mortality inequalities, social stratification, and life course theory. Strong background in demographic and/or statistical research methods and willingness to undergo further methodological training. Experience working with (preferably Swedish) population registers and survey data. Alignment between the research plan and the DEM-LOSS project. Ability to work both independently and as part of a research team. Written and oral proficiency in English. The assessment will be based on previous coursework and grades, references, relevant experience, interviews, the candidate's written motivation for applying for the position, and the quality (i.e., originality and feasibility) of the doctoral dissertation research plan. Applicants will need to submit a preliminary research plan in the application system, maximum 1,000 words (excluding references). The plan should focus on research topics related to the DEM-LOSS project (e.g., kinship demography, mortality inequalities, family heterogeneity, and social mobility).

Postdoctoral Researcher in Transmission Electron Microscopy for Sustainable Metals
Responsibilities At the Hultgren Laboratory at the Department of Materials Science, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with research interests in microstructural characterization of sustainable metallic materials using transmission electron microscopy and complementary methods. Through a generous grant from the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability – WISE (https://wise-materials.org/) and KTH, we are now establishing a state-of-the-art high-capacity scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) with unique in-situ/operando capabilities at the Hultgren Laboratory. The equipment brings unique capacity to Swedish transmission electron microscopy infrastructure (https://artemi.se/) with an integrated laser heating system, enabling high-temperature studies and in-situ investigations of thermomechanical processing using an in-situ straining holder. It will also be possible to combine other types of in-situ holders, such as reaction chambers, in combination with the laser heating. The system will also be equipped with Automated Crystallographic Orientation Mapping (ACOM), which enables unique high-resolution and high-capacity local crystallographic and strain analysis. The postdoctoral researcher will join our research team in materials characterization to conduct research with the goal of improving material sustainability. By contributing improved fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationships in metallic materials through advanced characterization, we support the development of new metallic materials and their manufacturing processes. For example, we work on improving metallic materials used in vehicle electrification, hydrogen-tolerant metallic materials needed for the transition to a fossil-free energy system where hydrogen is an important energy carrier, and design of metallic and composite materials better suited for production from recycled material while maintaining high performance. So-called in-situ/operando and high-capacity measurements are important in this project, and the postdoctoral researcher will work with both method development and materials science applications, that is, improved understanding of microstructure and mechanical properties of specific metallic materials. The postdoctoral position should be of interest to researchers in materials science with an already established TEM characterization profile and a desire to further develop their expertise in transmission electron microscopy and broaden their capacity in physical metallurgy and materials characterization. Additionally, the postdoctoral researcher will have an excellent opportunity to collaborate closely with academic and industrial partners in Sweden and internationally to promote sustainability in the materials field. Qualifications Requirements Completed PhD or equivalent foreign degree in materials science, mechanical engineering, or a related field relevant to the proposed research. This qualification requirement must be met by the time the employment decision is made.
