You will be part of Uppsala University's Molecular Precision Medicine research group, where research focuses on both the development of new genomics techniques and their application to clinically relevant questions in pediatric oncology. Duties Analyze multi-omics data from pediatric leukemia samples and in vitro models, including genomics (WGS), transcriptomics (bulk and scRNA-seq), epigenomics (methylation arrays), and proteomics (Olink Explore PEA, Illumina SomaSeq) data. Develop and apply machine learning models to identify disease subtypes and predict treatment response. Collaborate with pediatric oncologists, bioinformaticians, and computational biologists, both within the research group and with our international collaborators. Write scientific articles and present project results at scientific meetings and conferences.

PhD Student in Technology
Department of Energy and Technology Doctoral Research Subject: Technology Description of the Doctoral Project: We are seeking a motivated PhD student to develop knowledge about how production systems for fast-growing hardwood trees should be modified to better adapt to a future where both the risk of and effects of unexpected events – as well as their negative consequences – increase. The work focuses on the climate impact of these unexpected events. The project is part of the activities at the competence center Trees for Me. Changes in the external environment linked to the consequences of climate change and political instability have become increasingly clear and evident in recent years. For example, the extent of forest fires, storms, and insect attacks has increased, and the consequences for forests have in some cases been catastrophic. However, there are measures that can reduce the risk of, and/or the effects of, most of these events; examples of such measures include changes in tree species selection and forest management strategies. Measures to reduce the occurrence and effects of unexpected, undesired events typically involve increased costs and/or reduced revenues in the short term. They also affect the system's overall climate impact. Converting forest management to completely eliminate the effects of all conceivable disturbances is not feasible; measures must instead be weighed against the risk of a disturbance occurring and the potential damage such an event could cause. Trees for Me is a competence center focused on fast-growing hardwood trees – such as poplar, aspen, hybrid aspen, and birch – for sustainable forests, materials, and energy. Around 20 partner organizations from academia, research institutes, industry, and the public sector collaborate within the center. The goal is to develop scientifically grounded, innovative solutions for – and build future competence in – a new and resilient system for supplying forest biomass, intended for processing into high-value material and energy products. In the second phase of Trees for Me, approximately ten new PhD students and postdoctoral researchers are now to be recruited. They will collaborate with actors across the entire forest value chain to build research competence and knowledge for the benefit of the energy and forest sectors. Duties: The PhD student is expected to read and critically review scientific literature in English and to publish and present results in scientific journals and at conferences. The PhD student shall also participate in doctoral training courses and contribute to the department's activities. Eligibility: Basic eligibility is held by those who have completed an advanced level degree, completed course requirements of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits at advanced level, or who in some other way within or outside the country have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge (Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 7 § 39). Specific eligibility for admission to doctoral training in the subject of Technology is held by those who have knowledge equivalent to at least 90 higher education credits in courses in technology-relevant subjects. These must include an independent work and at least 30 higher education credits must be at advanced level. For others, specific eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis with regard to the research task. Furthermore, you must have knowledge of English equivalent to a passing grade in English B/6 from Swedish upper secondary school. Your Background: Qualification Requirements: Advanced level degree (engineering or master's degree) in forest science, technology, natural resource economics, or a related field. Very strong ability to communicate in English, both verbally and in writing. Meritorious Qualifications: Knowledge within agriculture and forestry Bio-based products and energy Risk analysis Life cycle assessment (LCA) and modeling If one or two of these competencies are lacking, it is possible to supplement the knowledge base after admission. Great weight is placed on personal qualities, such as collaboration skills, analytical ability and problem-solving skills, motivation, and ability to work independently. About Us: The Department of Energy and Technology at the Center for Land, Water and Environment (MVM) offers a stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment with both national and international focus.
