  Arbetsuppgifter 

  Ämnesområden: Strukturbiologi, bioteknik, mikrobiell fysiologi, odling i kontrollerade miljöer, hållbar livsmedelsproduktion

  Vi söker en forskare för att etablera ett nytt tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprogram som undersöker strukturbaserad biologisk tillförsel av näringsämnen för hållbar livsmedelsproduktion.

  Forskaren kommer att arbeta i ett tvärvetenskapligt team av forskare inom akvatisk vetenskap, ingenjörer och livsmedelsforskare i samverkan med flera internationella forskargrupper.

  Anställningen fokuserar på hur mikroorganismer reglerar tillgängligheten av mikronäringsämnen inom odling av mikroalger, hydroponik, akvaponik samt produktion av mikrobiell och fungal biomassa. Forskaren kommer att etablera ett forskningsprogram med målet att identifiera de molekylära mekanismer som ansvarar för effektiv tillförsel av mikronäringsämnen för biotekniska tillämpningar. 

  Rollen kombinerar vetenskaplig expertis med ansvar för att planera, samordna och driva tvärvetenskapliga forskningsprojekt. 

  En central del av anställningen är gränssnittet mellan akademisk forskning och industri, inklusive samordning av externt finansierade projekt och samarbetsprojekt där forskningsresultat behöver omsättas till praktiska och kommersiellt relevanta tillämpningar. 

  Anställningen kräver mycket god kommunikationsförmåga för att kunna förmedla resultat till samarbetspartners, forskningspartners, finansiärer och industriella intressenter. Förväntade resultat omfattar vetenskapliga publikationer, presentationer, framtagning av kommunikations- och spridningsmaterial samt patentansökningar. 

  Kvalifikationer 

  För anställning krävs doktorsexamen i strukturbiologi, biokemi, molekylärbiologi, biofysik eller närliggande ämne samt dokumenterad postdoktoral erfarenhet av struktur–funktionsrelationer hos biologiskt viktiga proteiner och dokumenterad förmåga att leda projekt inom både akademi och industri.

  Den sökande ska uppvisa expertis inom flera av följande områden:

  • omfattande erfarenhet av strukturell karakterisering av proteiner med moderna strukturbiologiska tekniker;
  • dokumenterad expertis inom protein–ligandinteraktioner och molekylär igenkänning, särskilt när ligandbindning inducerar strukturella eller funktionella förändringar i proteiner;
  • erfarenhet av att undersöka proteiners konformationsdynamik med experimentella eller beräkningsbaserade strukturmetoder;
  • expertis inom beräkningsbaserad strukturbiologi, inklusive AlphaFold-baserad proteinprediktion, molekylär dockning, molekylär dynamik och strukturbaserad funktionell tolkning;
  • erfarenhet av att integrera kompletterande strukturbiologiska tekniker, inklusive kryoelektronmikroskopi eller närliggande metoder;
  • dokumenterad förmåga att identifiera biologiskt relevanta ligandbindningsställen och relatera strukturella observationer till molekylär funktion;
  • erfarenhet av att tolka strukturbiologi i sammanhanget av bredare biologiska system snarare än isolerade proteinstrukturer;
  • vetenskaplig publicering i refereegranskade tidskrifter som visad självständighet och excellens inom strukturbiologi;
  • erfarenhet av arbete i tvärvetenskapliga och internationella forskningsprojekt, inklusive strategisk forskningsutveckling och experimentella insatser vid större internationella forskningsinfrastrukturer;
  • erfarenhet av utveckling av forskningsansökningar;
  • forskningsplanering och samordning av resurser;
  • vetenskaplig kommunikation, rapportering och spridning till både vetenskaplig publik och allmänhet;
  • tvärfunktionell problemlösning och projektleverans;

  The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 58 000 students and 6800 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

  PhD position in global change biology

  At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) we have teaching and research activities that stretch from the alpine ecosystem, through forests, cultivated land and streams, all the way into the marine environment. In these environments we study different levels of biological organisation from genes, individuals, and populations, to communities and ecosystems. We work within ecology, evolution, physiology, systematics, and combinations of these fields to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic changes of the environment. The department is placed at two different localities: in Natrium at Medicinaregatan 7B in Gothenburg and at the Kristineberg marine research station operated by the Marine Infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg. The current employment is based at Natrium, with the possibility to conduct research projects at the marine station.

   

  General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found on the university's doctoral student pages. https://www.gu.se/en/doctoral-studies

  We offer

  The University of Gothenburg is a state authority, which means special benefits, more holidays and a great pension. You can read more about our employment benefits https://www.gu.se/jobba-hos-oss/formaner-och-forsakringar-vid-goteborgs-universitet. 

   

  Project description

  Climate change and the increased frequency, intensity, and duration of heatwaves pose growing threats to the persistence of animal biodiversity. A central challenge in global change biology is to understand why species and populations differ in their vulnerability, so that research can inform conservation, management, and policy. However, we still cannot reliably predict how climate change will affect animal populations across their full life cycle. Accumulating evidence suggests that early life stages can be more sensitive to extreme heat than adults, yet developmental stages remain critically understudied. Current methods used to quantify climate vulnerability are also often not directly comparable between embryos and later life stages, which has further limited our ability to identify critical windows of sensitivity to climate change. New methodological advances now allow us to standardise how we compare vulnerability across life stages, opening up exciting opportunities to understand how climate change affects all stages of life.

  The central question of this PhD project is: How and why does thermal sensitivity vary across the life cycle, and what are the consequences for animal populations under climate change?

  This fully funded PhD project is part of a research program funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) on the vulnerability of fish life stages to climate change. The PhD project is expected to combine empirical research with evidence synthesis and comparative analyses. While some projects will primarily focus on fish, comparative studies can be broader in scope, and there will be opportunities to study other taxa (e.g., freshwater and marine invertebrates). 

  The project plan is flexible in its scope, and the PhD student will be encouraged to develop original questions and take increasing intellectual ownership of their research agenda. The applicant is also expected to take part in collaborations at both local and global scales, and contribute to the Thermal Ecology Alliance. Therefore, the PhD student will have excellent opportunities to develop a large collaborative network and address broad questions in global change biology.

   

  Duties

  The principal duty is to undertake doctoral education and complete a doctoral thesis under supervision. This includes developing theoretical understanding, methodological expertise, analytical skills, scientific thinking, and increasing research independence.

   

  The PhD student will:

  • Develop research questions and study designs;
  • Conduct laboratory experiments and, where relevant, field sampling or environmental monitoring;
  • Collect, manage, analyse, and interpret data using transparent and reproducible workflows;
  • Conduct evidence synthesis, meta-analysis, comparative analyses, or environmental modelling;
  • Comply with relevant animal-welfare, ethical, data-management, and health-and-safety requirements;
  • Communicate results through the doctoral thesis, scientific publications, seminars, conferences, and other appropriate formats;
  • Participate constructively in departmental and collegial activities
  • Contribute to leading and managing collaborations

  Periods of fieldwork at Kristineberg marine station or research visits elsewhere in Sweden or abroad may form part of the project. The need, timing, and accessibility of such activities will be discussed and planned with the PhD student. As part of the employment, the PhD student may have departmental duties corresponding to up to 20 % of full-time employment, distributed throughout the study period, and result in a corresponding extension of the studies. Departmental duties usually consist of teaching at first- and second-cycle levels, but may also include research and administration.  

   

  Application 

  You can apply to be admitted to doctoral education via the University of Gothenburg’s recruitment portal. It is your responsibility to ensure that the application is complete as per this notice, and that the University receives it by the final application deadline.

  PhD position in global change biology

  At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) we have teaching and research activities that stretch from the alpine ecosystem, through forests, cultivated land and streams, all the way into the marine environment. In these environments we study different levels of biological organisation from genes, individuals, and populations, to communities and ecosystems. We work within ecology, evolution, physiology, systematics, and combinations of these fields to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic changes of the environment. The department is placed at two different localities: in Natrium at Medicinaregatan 7B in Gothenburg and at the Kristineberg marine research station operated by the Marine Infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg. The current employment is based at Natrium, with the possibility to conduct research projects at the marine station.

  Project description

  Climate change and the increased frequency, intensity, and duration of heatwaves pose growing threats to the persistence of animal biodiversity. A central challenge in global change biology is to understand why species and populations differ in their vulnerability, so that research can inform conservation, management, and policy. However, we still cannot reliably predict how climate change will affect animal populations across their full life cycle. Accumulating evidence suggests that early life stages can be more sensitive to extreme heat than adults, yet developmental stages remain critically understudied. Current methods used to quantify climate vulnerability are also often not directly comparable between embryos and later life stages, which has further limited our ability to identify critical windows of sensitivity to climate change. New methodological advances now allow us to standardise how we compare vulnerability across life stages, opening up exciting opportunities to understand how climate change affects all stages of life.

  The central question of this PhD project is: How and why does thermal sensitivity vary across the life cycle, and what are the consequences for animal populations under climate change?

  This fully funded PhD project is part of a research program funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) on the vulnerability of fish life stages to climate change. The PhD project is expected to combine empirical research with evidence synthesis and comparative analyses. While some projects will primarily focus on fish, comparative studies can be broader in scope, and there will be opportunities to study other taxa (e.g., freshwater and marine invertebrates). 

  The project plan is flexible in its scope, and the PhD student will be encouraged to develop original questions and take increasing intellectual ownership of their research agenda. The applicant is also expected to take part in collaborations at both local and global scales, and contribute to the Thermal Ecology Alliance. Therefore, the PhD student will have excellent opportunities to develop a large collaborative network and address broad questions in global change biology.

   

  Duties

  The principal duty is to undertake doctoral education and complete a doctoral thesis under supervision. This includes developing theoretical understanding, methodological expertise, analytical skills, scientific thinking, and increasing research independence.

   

  The PhD student will:

  • Develop research questions and study designs;
  • Conduct laboratory experiments and, where relevant, field sampling or environmental monitoring;
  • Collect, manage, analyse, and interpret data using transparent and reproducible workflows;
  • Conduct evidence synthesis, meta-analysis, comparative analyses, or environmental modelling;
  • Comply with relevant animal-welfare, ethical, data-management, and health-and-safety requirements;
  • Communicate results through the doctoral thesis, scientific publications, seminars, conferences, and other appropriate formats;
  • Participate constructively in departmental and collegial activities
  • Contribute to leading and managing collaborations

  Periods of fieldwork at Kristineberg marine station or research visits elsewhere in Sweden or abroad may form part of the project. The need, timing, and accessibility of such activities will be discussed and planned with the PhD student. As part of the employment, the PhD student may have departmental duties corresponding to up to 20 % of full-time employment, distributed throughout the study period, and result in a corresponding extension of the studies. Departmental duties usually consist of teaching at first- and second-cycle levels, but may also include research and administration.  

   

  Application 

  You can apply to be admitted to doctoral education via the University of Gothenburg’s recruitment portal. It is your responsibility to ensure that the application is complete as per this notice, and that the University receives it by the final application deadline.
