The Department of Geological Sciences is a department within the Faculty of Science with courses at master’s, bachelor’s and orientation levels. The department supports a broad range of basic research within marine geology, geochemistry and classical geology.

Project description
Assessing the sea-level rise contribution from the North Greenland Ice Sheet in a warming climate.

Sea-level rise caused by global warming is a serious threat to society and vital economic infrastructures concentrated along the coastlines. Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is currently the single largest contributor to observed global sea-level rise, and its contribution is expected to increase. The northern sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet holds over one meter of global sea level; if its outlets glaciers lose their buttressing ice tongues they can begin to flow as rapidly as their more southerly counterparts of the Ice Sheet, and discharge ice formerly grounded on land to the ocean where it contributes to accelerating sea-level rise.

This two-year post-doctoral project is aimed to carry out a detailed investigation of the development of the North Greenland Ice Sheet and its contribution to global sea-level rise until year 2300 under a range of IPCC’s climate scenarios. The goal is to provide lower and upper limits of the potential contribution by the North Greenland Ice Sheet to global sea-level rise, considering different ice–ocean–atmosphere feedback mechanisms, using a state-of-the-art numerical ice-sheet and sea-level system model.

The project will capitalize on new constraints on physical conditions and knowledge on the ice-dynamical processes and ice-ocean interaction based on field data acquired during the successful Petermann 2015 and Ryder 2019 expeditions with Swedish ice breaker Oden. The Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) will be used to simulate the North Greenland Ice Sheet, and the interaction of its marine outlet glaciers with the ocean, to quantify contributions to sea-level rise under different climate scenarios. Special emphasis will be placed on the dynamics and stability of the outlet glaciers’ floating ice tongues, and the implications which their partial or complete disintegration have on ice discharge from the upstream drainage basins. This two-year postdoctoral project is funded by the Swedish research council FORMAS and the study forms an integral part of the North Greenland Earth-Ocean-Ecosystem Observatory (GEOEO) Research Theme adopted by the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat. Information about GEOEO can be found at: https://www.polar.se/en/research-support/polar-research-process/theme-geoeo/.

Main responsibilities
The goal is to obtain improved knowledge of the northern sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet’s contribution to future sea-level rise. An important task for the candidate will be to set up the ISSM model for the North Greenland Ice Sheet, to and carry out simulations to quantify its global sea-level contributions while making optimal use of available field data constraints and available relevant model output for future climate scenarios. Results from the project work shall be disseminated through peer-reviewed research articles to be published in international scientific journals. The possibility of participating in the North of Greenland Expedition 2024 with Icebreaker Oden can be investigated, depending on the applicant’s qualifications, interests and results obtained during the first 1.5 years of the project.

Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

Assessment criteria
The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.

We seek candidates with a strong background in geophysics, physics or applied mathematics with an interest to develop expertise in the modelling of cryosphere­–ocean­–climate interactions. Documented previous experience of numerical ice sheet modelling, glacier modelling, ocean modelling or Earth System modeling is meriting. Likewise, it is meriting to have documented experience in using High Performance Computing infrastructure, and in pre- and postprocessing input to and output from numerical simulations.  The candidate should be fluent in English, and be able to work independently and in groups, as well as towards deadlines as the project has specific sub-goals.  

Selection
The selection among the eligible candidates is based on their expected capacity to complete the project tasks. The following criteria are used to assess this capacity: the applicant’s documented knowledge and skills within the subject of their proposed specialization, capability to express their work orally and in writing in English, creativity, ability to take initiatives, capacity for analytical thinking, independence and ability to work with other researchers. The evaluation is based on previous education and experience, quality of previous published research, ambition expressed in the motivation letter, description of the proposed project direction and potentially interviews. In the selection, great emphasis will be taken on personal qualities.

Terms of employment
The position involves full-time employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date as per agreement.

Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.

FAIRTRANS (Fair Transformations to a Fossil-Free Future) is a 4-year research programme funded by Mistra and Formas. Our mission is to develop science-based and fair roadmaps for rapid decarbonisation, consistent with a globally fair Swedish carbon budget, through collaboration with key actors from civil society. Sustaining the resilience of Earth’s biosphere requires far-reaching transformations of the economy, breaking path dependency and shifting toward a new development trajectory defined by a fundamentally different narrative. A postdoctoral fellow within this program will gain experience in problem-oriented, interdisciplinary collaboration in sustainability science and become an expert in climate benefits of forestry and resilient forestry.

Project description
Green negative emissions is Work Package 3 in FAIRTRANS. We want to hire a postdoc for two years to explore and analyse how the climate benefits of Swedish forests and forestry can be optimized, with respect to other ecosystem services and biodiversity. The overarching research questions are:

1. Acknowledging the potential for climate benefits from both protected forests and active forestry, how can these climate benefits be optimised in a legitimate and cost-effective way?
2. How can Swedish forests increase their resilience to various stresses and shocks in order to safeguard their climate benefits?

Questions include how to ensure a high net sink at different time scales (maintain or decrease harvesting rate?), how to maximise the benefits of substitution (e.g. increase the share of timber to constructions at the expense of paper and biofuel?), how to make forests more resilient (e.g. increase the share of continuous cover forestry?), and explore novel avenues for sustainable forest management (SFM) with several co-benefits. Since more than half of stored carbon in Swedish forests is sub-soil, attention cannot be limited to calculations of biomass in trees.

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work with us to develop new governance and management approaches for optimising the climate benefits of forestry and safeguard the resilience of these benefits. This research is truly interdisciplinary and even transdisciplinary and the candidate should have previous experience of that. Research experience from forestry or climate is desirable but not mandatory.

The research will include a review of forestry transformations in other countries, especially Germany, and developing scenarios for alternative management including continuous cover forestry (CCF). These scenarios will be discussed and modified in workshops together with interested Swedish forest owners and the Forest Agency. No Swedish language proficiency is required. Depending on the skills of the candidate, case studies with interviews or modelling (e.g. CAPRI) will be used to assess the robustness/resilience of pathway scenarios for a few explicit forest management strategies. The candidate may also supervise a MSc student in the same field.

Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

Assessment criteria
The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.

In the appointment process, special attention will be given to:

• Research experience of policy-relevant transdisciplinary sustainability science.
• Research and practical experience of climate and forestry.
• Methodological skills in either qualitative or quantitative methods.
• Practical experiences from science-policy dialogues.
• Record of publications in scientific journals.
• Ability to take initiative and work independently and as part of a team.
• Very good English language communication skills.

Terms of employment
The position involves full-time employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date as per agreement.

The Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics is one of the biggest departments at the Faculty of Science with about 150 employees and 2,000 students. The department has world-leading research in cell and molecular biology, in particular within structural biology, molecular modeling/simulation and cryo-electron microscopy. This position is part of a joint collaboration between the two largest research programs in Sweden, the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) and the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS), with the ultimate goal of solving ground-breaking research questions across disciplines.

Project description
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has been a revolution for structural biology with its ability to computationally recover the 3D electron density of proteins based on millions of noisy images of single protein molecules. In some cases, modern reconstruction methods have also made it possible to predict flexibility of molecules, but only on coarse scales. This postdoctoral project is a collaboration with the math department at KTH, where we will use the massive amounts of data on protein motion available in molecular simulations produced in our team to develop new neural networks to provide data-driven priors of atomic models used to predict both structure and motion from new cryo-EM data we collect at SciLifeLab.

Main responsibilities
You will work together with mathematicians, structural biologists and computational chemists on performing molecular simulations and developing new ways to describe and featurize molecular motions both in cryo-EM data and simulations. You will be involved in training and testing networks, and in particular assess the performance of multiscale motion predictions on new cryo-EM data.

Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

Assessment criteria

Project description
We are advertising a 3-year postdoctoral fellow position, to work with Dr. Jon E. Gudmundsson on a project in cryogenic optics funded by an ERC Starting Grant. The CMBeam program involves aspects in optical instrumentation, simulation, and analysis for experiments studying the cosmic microwave background, including the Simons Observatory, the LiteBIRD satellite, and the Taurus balloon-borne experiment.

The principal aim of CMBeam is to advance aspects of cryogenic optics for millimetre wavelengths. Efforts include the construction of a state-of-the-art cryogenic holography facility for the purposes of testing optical systems of current and future experiments. This infrastructure will facilitate calibration efforts for upcoming CMB experiments such as the Simons Observatory and enable the development of optical measurement techniques that are critical for next-generation experiments.

The successful candidate will be part of the Oskar Klein Centre for Cosmoparticle Physics (www.okc.albanova.se) in Stockholm, a rich scientific environment that comprises more than a hundred researchers working in both theory and experiment in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and particle physics at both Stockholm University and the Royal Institute for Technology. The OKC hosts a vibrant research program on dark matter, dark energy, transient and multimessenger astrophysics, galaxy evolution, structure formation, and related particle physics questions. Postdoctoral associates are also welcome to participate in Scientific Programs at Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, which bring together groups of leading experts to work on specific topics for extended periods.

Main responsibilities
CMBeam involves development of novel techniques in cryogenic optics. This can be broken down into tasks that require expertise in mechanical design, optics, cryogenics, readout, and RF circuit design. The candidate, together with the PI, will lead the design of an anechoic chamber and custom cryostat that facilitates the testing of quasi-optical systems for future CMB experiments. Using lab measurements enabled by this facility, the candidate is also expected to lead calibration work for upcoming CMB experiments.

Other daily responsibilities include active participation in group meetings and mentoring of PhD students. The successful candidate is also encouraged to actively contribute to the lively academic environment at the OKC.

Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

Assessment criteria
The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.

In the appointment process, special attention will be given to proven experience in instrumentation for microwave and millimetre wave optical systems. This includes any background in cosmology experiment that relate to the project description. Experience with cryogenics and RF antenna characterization is particularly relevant.

We are looking for driven candidates with strong ability to work both individually and in groups.

Terms of employment
The position involves full-time employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date may be in September 2022 or by agreement. 

Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.
