Subject area

Information systems

Subject area description

The postdoctoral researchers will be part of the SCDI Wallenberg Digital Innovation Program and a new initiative (www.uttc.se) funded by, among others, Vinnova, aimed at broadening the adoption of net-zero solutions through twin transition. The goal is to reduce city emissions by 20% over the course of the project. Given the focus on the twin transition, the subject matter will be information systems with a connection to green transformation.

Job assignments

The job assignments include research in the form of data collection, analysis, publication, and utilization. To take on the project assignments, the postdoctoral researchers will join a research group on Organizational Dynamics at SCDI (www.scdi.se/dynamics). This group stands at the intersection of organizational studies, digital innovation, and computational methods, delving into the deep and transformative shifts organizations experience in response to evolving digital technologies.

The postdoctoral researchers will play an important role in our exploration and understanding of the “Twin Transition” concept. By applying advanced computational methods, their work will be central to deciphering the relationship between green and digital transformations. By investigating how digital technology can support sustainability goals, the researcher will help exploring how digital and green approaches can lead to enhanced efficiency, productivity, and broad societal benefits.

The postdoctoral researchers´ tasks will be multifaceted. They will utilize computational techniques such as social network analysis, sentiment analysis, time-series analysis, etc., to extract meaningful patterns from data. A large part of this analysis will involve unstructured text data. Through the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP), and by leveraging machine learning and AI techniques like embeddings, they will extract and interpret patterns from vast data streams. A notable part of their assignment will involve delving into public sources, such as earnings conference call transcripts. This will enable them to map both the current landscape and historical trends concerning the overlap of digital and sustainability discourses. Further, the researcher will engage in predictive analytics, aiming to anticipate the future trajectory of these intertwined discourses and the potential intersections that may arise.

The postdoctoral researchers will also be tasked with identifying potential synergies between digitalization and sustainability in the context of “smart cities”. This represents a unique opportunity to dive into the nexus of urban digital infrastructure and sustainability goals. The researcher will have the chance to tap into real-time data streams from smart city initiatives, covering areas like urban transportation, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. Such data, combined with insights from existing digital platforms and technologies within urban environments, can provide a holistic picture of how cities are evolving in the digital age. In that sense, the postdoc’s exploration in this area could shape the future strategies and directions for integrating digital and green initiatives in the development of smart cities.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Linguistics and/or Cognitive Science, one or more

Ref PAR 2024/47

At the department, there is also the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP), funded by a 12 year grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2027). CLASP is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modelling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition.

The successful applicant will be employed by the Department of Philosophy, Linguistics, and Theory of science (FloV), as a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC Starting Grant Project: DivCon: Divergence and convergence in dialogue: The dynamic management of mismatches. The project is led by Christine Howes and started in May 2023. For a description of DivCon see the homepage via Christine Howes | University of Gothenburg (gu.se).

Subject area 

Computational Linguistics / Cognitive Science

Subject area description 

Interaction is the main overarching theme for research in linguistics and computational linguistics at FLoV. This entails an interest in the formal modelling of not only the systems of conventions that make up particular languages but also the social practices and psychological mechanisms enabling language use.

As more and more of our interactions take place through digital channels, it has become increasingly important to understand how we communicate and interact with others via computers and digital devices. In this context, the DivCon project, funded by the European Research Council, aims to transform our understanding of human interaction, particularly in computer-mediated communication. It will create a novel experimental platform for live multimodal interactions using avatars and virtual reality and develop a precise theory of divergence and convergence in interaction that unifies verbal and non-verbal dialogue phenomena. Ultimately, the project’s findings will pave the way for more adaptive conversational AI systems that can better simulate human-like communication.

Key responsibilities

The position gives the holder the opportunity to consolidate and further develop their scientific skills by conducting research in the ERC Starting Grant Project: DivCon: Divergence and convergence in dialogue: The dynamic management of mismatches. More specifically, this will entail one or more of the following areas of expertise:

  • Corpus collection, annotation, and analysis
  • Computational and experimental methods in cognitive science
  • Formal models of dialogue and interaction
  • Type Theory (or logics) and probability
  • Combining logical, computational, and psycholinguistic approaches

Apart from research, duties may include mentoring graduate students, course design, and/or teaching-related activities; such supplementary duties will not exceed 20% of the position’s responsibilities.

Postdoctoral researcher in computational linguistics focused on multimodal NLP

Ref PAR 2024/48

The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) is based in FLoV at the University of Gothenburg, and is funded by a 10-year grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2027). CLASP is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modeling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. It also addresses topics in dialogue and linguistic interaction. For a description of CLASP, see www.gu.se/en/clasp

Subject area 

Computational linguistics 
 

Subject area description 

The candidate will carry out their research at CLASP, within a project interested in large multimodal language models and contextual understanding of combined text/image data.

The overarching goal of the project is to construct a multimodal NLP system that uses text and visual input alongside large language models to assure text coherence over long documents and long sentence contexts. We will experiment with crowdsourcing methods to annotate training and test corpora. Our end goal is to build a system that will be lightweight in that it will use relatively small amounts of data for supervised learning. It should be trainable in a comparatively short period of time. We will build this system on top of existing generic, open-source deep learning models rather than constructing a large, complex special purpose device. The project will explore different ways of combining visual and linguistic representations in integrated embeddings, and we will determine which ones are most efficient in supporting our coherence task. Previous work on named entity recognition and coreference provide important background for some of the issues we will be addressing.
 

Key responsibilities

The employment as a postdoctoral researcher aims to give the employee an early opportunity to develop their independence as a researcher after completing their doctorate and to create the conditions for further qualifications. The person employed as a postdoctoral researcher must mainly conduct research. Apart from research, duties may include mentoring graduate students, course design, and/or teaching-related activities; such supplementary duties will not exceed 20% of the position’s responsibilities.

The candidate is expected to:

  • Collect, compile and process corpora from different genres, domains and methodologies.
  • Develop and evaluate models for multimodal NLP, particularly in the area of long-context text coherence.
  • Apply these models to advance the state of the art in a variety of multimodal NLP tasks in both applications such as text generation and experimental approaches to linguistic analysis.

The research will be conducted in English.

The holder of the position is expected to carry out their research on site at campus of the University of Gothenburg and to actively participate in workshops, seminars, and conferences.

Eligibility 

Employment as postdoctoral researcher is primarily regulated by here linked nationally negotiated collective agreement: Agreement of fixed-term employment as postdoctoral researcher.

The subject of the doctoral thesis should be in a research area relevant to the specific subject description above. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made. 

In the first instance, those who have completed their degree no more than three years prior to the end of the application period shall be considered. Those who have completed their degree more than three years prior to the end of the application period may also be considered in the first instance if special grounds exist. Special grounds relate to leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, commissions of trust within union organisations, service within the defence services or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or service/assignment relevant to the subject area.

Documented good interpersonal skills, good skills in terms of planning and organizing research, and in communicating research results is also meritorious. Documented experience in more than one of the job assignment areas described above is particularly meritorious.

Candidates should have experience with machine learning including deep learning and neural networks, preferably with a background in mainstream natural language processing tasks and methods (e.g., language modeling, parsing, coreference, machine translation, discourse parsing, etc). Interest in the cognitive processes/models behind human language processing and understanding is a key advantage for the position. Experience with psycholinguistic methods focused on designing and running traditional sentence processing methodologies (eye-tracking, pace reading, judgement studies and cloze tests, spacebar reaction time, etc.) is also desirable.

The recruitment process may include interviews (possibly by video link) and contacting references.

Ref PAR 2024/187

The goal of our research group is to understand how inflammatory processes are regulated and what role the so-called G protein-coupled receptors play in this regulation, when it works well and when the balance is disrupted which leads to inflammatory diseases. 

Duties 

Basic cell biology and receptor pharmacology techniques will be used to analyze both blood and tissue neutrophils. The focus will be on signaling, priming status, degranulation, and secretion as well as activation of neutrophils in order to identify and validate significant differences between neutrophils and neutrophil markers from healthy donors and patients with inflammatory disease. The job assignments include several laboratory techniques to study neutrophils and neutrophil markers. At the signaling level, these methods include HTRF-based cAMP assay, activation of various G-protein subtypes, β-arrestin translocation, and cytosolic calcium changes. The most important neutrophil functions that will be studied include migration (chemotaxis), phagocytosis, endocytosis, degranulation, activation of the NADPH oxidase for production of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis/necrosis. The laboratory work will also involve cell culture, subcellular fractionation, flow cytometry, ELISA and SDS-PAGE/western blot. In addition to the laboratory work, the job assignments include to compile the obtained results so that these can be presented in both visual and written forms, as well as supervision of students in the research group. 

Qualifications 

The applicant should hold a PhD in the subject of biochemistry, molecular biology, or cell biology. Hands-on experience in working with phagocytes, reactive oxygen metabolites and receptor pharmacology with a focus on G protein-coupled receptors is a requirement. Hands-on experience with microscopy (confocal and total internal reflection fluorescence [TIRF] microscopes) and cell culture is an advantage. The candidate is expected to be active in the design and implementation of his/her projects, as well as to collaborate closely with other members of the team and with other groups. Good communication skills, excellent scientific English in both speech and writing are requirements.

Doctoral student in Natural science, specializing in biology

Ref PAR 2024/158

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 organization 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 at Medicinaregatan 7B in Gothenburg.

Researcher

Ref PAR 2024/183

Approximately 50% of the cells in the human body are of microbial origin. By combining clinical materials and gnotobiotic animal models, we have shown that the gut microbiota affects our physiology and metabolism. Our working hypothesis is that several of the microbiota’s effects on our physiology are mediated via metabolites that the bacteria produce. We are now recruiting a researcher to finish a project investigating how gut bacteria affects production of serotonin and its effects on the enteric nervous system. 

Duties 

Characterize different bacteria’s capacity to produce bioactive metabolites in vitro by culturing them alone or in consortia with other bacteria. Determine the amounts of produced metabolites by mass-spectrophotometry. Colonize germ-free mice with bacteria to evaluate effects on the enteric nervous system and the mouse physiology. In order to investigate signaling mechanisms genetically modified mice will be used. 

Qualifications 

PhD in microbiota research is a requirement. Experience of bacterial culturing and using germ-free mice are strong merits. Knowledge in mass spectrometry, evaluation of the enteric nervous system’s development, and metabolic phenotyping of genetically modified mice are merits. It is essential that the applicant can interact with other researchers and clinicians within a greater team. Good knowledge in English, both spoken and written, is a requirement for the position. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability such as being able to take own initiatives and being flexible.

MSCA-Doctoral student in Medical Science – Mucin domains in host-bacteria interactions

Ref PAR 2024/132

Project title: Decoding the language of defense: The role of mucin domains in host-bacteria interactions

The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell biology, is located at the Institute of Biomedicine at the Faculty of Medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg.

General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found on the university’s doctoral student pages https://medarbetarportalen.gu.se/doktorand/?languageId=100001&skipSSOCheck=true    

Duties   

The PhD education in Medical Science comprises carrying out a scientific project and completing at least 30 credits of courses at third-cycle level. The doctoral student must also write a scientific compilation thesis or monograph corresponding to at least 120 credits. For more information about third-cycle studies at Sahlgrenska Academy, see https://www.gu.se/en/sahlgrenska-akademin/doctoral-studies

Project: Epithelial cells protect tissues against external insults while controlling exchange with the outside environment. In the intestine, epithelial cell defects increase the susceptibility to bacterial infections and diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal epithelial cells are coated with a dense glycocalyx consisting of transmembrane glycoproteins called membrane mucins. Membrane mucins and the glycocalyx barrier are crucial for protection against bacterial attachment, while allowing nutrients and signaling molecules across the cell membrane. However, we lack basic insights into how the molecular build-up, layering, and segment-specific properties of membrane mucins meet the conflicting needs of the glycocalyx. Moreover, the molecular basis of how pathogenic bacteria breach the glycocalyx to infect epithelial cells remains elusive. 

The doctoral project is part of the European network SurfEx (https://surfex-project.eu/), funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks.

The doctoral student will identify the molecular determinants that regulate how the glycocalyx allows selective transport while shielding the epithelium against pathogenic onslaught. Specifically, the successful candidate will define how the configuration of the carbohydrate-rich PTS domain of membrane mucins contributes to the protective barrier properties of this elusive family of large glycoproteins. The research project involves the design of a combinatorial library of recombinant mucins for the discovery of molecular signatures critical for barrier function against bacteria with distinct infection mechanisms. The doctoral student will use the latest ex vivo time-lapse confocal imaging methods, cell lines, mouse models, patient-derived tissues, and advance the technological state-of-the art by developing organotypic tissue cultures to investigate the molecular properties of the glycocalyx barrier.

The successful candidate has documented qualifications in the relevant experimental methodologies within the fields of cell biology and microbiology, involving studies of cell lines, mouse models, gene and protein expression, and the use of advanced microscopy. Prior research experience in an academic laboratory environment is desirable. 

Education at third-cycle level comprises four years of full-time study, and leads to a doctoral degree.  As part of your employment as a doctoral student, you may have departmental duties corresponding to up to 20 % of full-time employment, distributed throughout your study period. Departmental duties usually consist of teaching at first- and second-cycle levels, but may also include research and administration.

PhD position in the HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network ArCHe “Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, present and future of a hidden prehistoric legacy”

Ref PAR 2024/156

 

General information on the DN ArCHe:

The Doctoral Network ArCHe (https://www.arche.uio.no/) will train 10 PhD fellows for increasing the scientific and public value of Europe’s archaeological coastal heritage, focusing on the legacy of Stone Age hunter-fisher-gatherers (c. 12,000–2000 calBC). Including some of the earliest remains of human activity, this fragile and very heterogeneous legacy is crucial for understanding human engagement with the coast. Today, it is embedded in a variety of geographic settings across Europe, differing in environmental development, which face massive environmental and human threats, and is approached in various ways in cultural heritage management. ArCHe addresses the challenges of this fractured field with an innovative past–present–future approach focused on connecting the legacy from the past, its present status as archaeological heritage and prospects for its future protection and integration into lived landscapes. With six beneficiaries and nine associated partners, ArCHe unites academic research centres and non-academic organizations (cultural heritage sector, specialist organisations, museums and media). Within this joint platform for research and training, customized PhD projects will allow for cross-fertilization of knowledge among researchers and partners through scientific courses, workshops, conferences, applied secondments and transferable skills tuition. Training in archaeology, anthropology, critical heritage studies, heritage management, bioarchaeology, geology, oceanography, coastal engineering/preservation and communication relevant to coastal heritage and environment will equip the ArCHe PhDs with advanced interdisciplinary and cross-regional knowledge and skills applicable to various academic and non-academic fields across Europe. Through best practices, the PhD projects will contribute to the visibility, preservation and sustainable integration of the vulnerable cultural heritage in coastal areas facing global environmental and development challenges.

Information on the PhD-position:

Reference (ArCHe-Doctoral candidate no.)

Title of the project

Stone age heritage as shared landscapes: Mapping concerns, actors and perspectives

Recruiting institution and place of work

School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

Expected Start date

August 2024

Length of the project

48 months

Salary:

 

– Living allowance

31 800 SEK (Swedish krona) per month salary

– mobility allowance

6000 SEK per month All eligible researchers recruited within a DN are entitled to receive this allowance. It contributes to the private mobility related expenses of the researcher.

4950 SEK per month (only if eligible to these conditions: “Family” means persons linked to the researcher by marriage (or a relationship with equivalent status to a marriage recognised by the legislation of the country where this relationship was formalized) or dependent children who are actually maintained by the researcher)

Project description including «Objectives» and «Expected Results»

DC8 will contribute knowledge on how existing and future archaeological activities in shared landscapes can be made locally relevant, sustainable, and attuned to contemporary dynamics at multiple scales. The PhD student will examine three case study areas across Europe (Norway, W-France, Latvia) that host coastal Stone Age hunter-fisher-gatherer heritage (excavated/not excavated), mapping different actors (such as local community heritage enthusiasts, municipal administrations, builders, planners, cultural heritage management actors, scientists, and environmental protection and conservation groups), interests, challenges and opportunities that may affect future management and use of these sites. Using anthropological methods such as participant observation and interviews, and interdisciplinary approaches such as focus groups, photo elicitation, participatory mapping, sensory walks, and short surveys, the study will provide an in-depth understanding of the socio-material dynamics that shape these shared landscapes, ranging from structural and economic conditions to social and cultural factors and environmental concerns. The comparative knowledge will be used to identify how prehistoric hunter-fisher-gatherer traces can best be integrated into future planning and use of these landscapes in a sensitive and inclusive manner, e.g. as places of learning in sustainable infrastructure development or tourism. DC8 will aim to foster consciousness and reflexivity among site stakeholders (including researchers and other actors), both within and beyond the network, to strengthen public dialogue and inclusiveness. This project provides training for a career in sustainable natural and cultural resource management. Expected results consist of academic and popular science outputs, the former a dissertation and two co-authored journal articles. Data will be stored at UGOT.

Academic secondments

DC8 has a cross-regional comparative perspective through secondments to SE-Norway, W-France and Latvia. Academic secondments occur at the University of Oslo (2 months), CNRS/University of Rennes, France (2 months), and University of Latvia, Latvia (1 month), with the purpose of developing a comparative understanding of stone age heritage in different case-study sites.

Non-academic secondments

Viken County Council (Norway), to learn regional management of archaeological sites and administration of cultural landscapes with diverse stakeholders (1 month).

General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found on the university’s doctoral student pages. https://medarbetarportalen.gu.se/doktorand/?languageId=100001&skipSSOCheck=true   

 

Subjects    

The Department of Education and Special Education is recruiting five doctoral candidates in the research subjects of Education or Educational work. See more information about the subjects: https://www.gu.se/larande-ledarskap-halsa/var-forskarutbildning 

Education is one subject in doctoral studies of educational research, focusing on educational issues in general, e.g., teaching, nurturing, socialization, formation, and learning. It has a special interest in the relationship between the individual and society and the conditions under which institutional conditions operate and have operated over time. Within the subject of Education, influence processes and their significance for the relationship between structure and agency, within and outside the formal education system, are also examined. Educational work is another subject in doctoral studies of educational research, dealing with various perspectives and aspects of work within educational institutions in society. Research in Educational work addresses issues pertinent to educational practices, professions, and activities. This includes conditions for teachers’ and students’ work with teaching and learning, both in practice and in relation to policy and educational reforms. 

 

Several strong research environments at the Department of Education and Special and Special contribute to increased dynamics between research, education, and collaboration with society. These environments have their unique focus but all share a common commitment to educational issues (for more information, please see https://www.gu.se/pedagogik-specialpedagogik/forskningsmiljoer).

 

The Förutsättningar, Utbildning och Resultat (FUR) research environment focuses on classic educational questions within three main areas: individual prerequisites for education, the organization and resources of education, and the results of education at both individual and system levels. The research environment Lärande, undervisning och bedömning i språk (LUBS), with its focus on learning and assessment in language, works to integrate these aspects into both internal and external activities. This includes teacher education and collaboration with society outside academia. The Platform for Research in Inclusive education and School development (PRIS) aims to bring together special education issues with aspects of school development and leadership. The research environment Skolutveckling och Ledarskap (SKUL) concentrates on school development and leadership, with a special focus on what teachers and school leaders do to promote the development and learning of children and students. It also addresses how preschools and schools handle change and improvement processes. The research environment Kritiska teorier (KRIT) addresses research questions related to power, subjectivity, and resistance within educational institutions, and is grounded in a critical educational sociological tradition. This environment uses methods such as critical ethnography, policy studies, and narrative analysis to explore its themes. The research environment Pedagogy and Politics (POP) studies the political aspects of educational phenomena, linked to traditions within curriculum theory, comparative education, and analyses of educational processes and systems

  

Job assignments   

The successful applicant will get a four-year employment as doctoral candidate and engage in doctoral studies at the Department of Education and Special Education. Guided by the supervisors, the doctoral candidate will formulate and accomplish a doctoral thesis (155 higher education credit points) and take courses at doctoral level (85 higher education credit points) in accordance with both a general and an individual study plan. During the doctoral period, the dissertation will be presented and discussed in seminars with invited discussants on at least three occasions. The doctoral student will be a member of a research environment at the Department. The department encourages and supports the dissemination of the dissertation at national and international conferences.

 

Doctoral education comprises four years of full-time study that leads to a doctoral degree. As part of the employment, you may do departmental duties for to up to 20 % of full-time employment, which can be distributed throughout your study period.
