Stockholm University in Sweden invites application for vacant Postdoctoral and Faculty Positions, a public research university in Stockholm, Sweden.
| Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science with an orientation towards global environmental politics and sustainable development | Department of Political Science | 01/10/2022 |
| The postdocoral position will be part of a 4-year research program Transformative partnerships for sustainable development: Assessing synergies, effectiveness and legitimacy of UN multi-stakeholder across SDGs to achieve the 2030 Agenda, funded by the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development (Formas). The program is led by Professor Karin Bäckstrand at the Department of Poltical Science at Stockholm University and the Institute for Future Studies together with researchers at Lund University and Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. The overarching aim of the project is to examine if, how and when multi-stakeholder partnerships can contribute to the implementation of 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To answer these research questions, the project employs a mixed-method design by combining qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze multistakeholder partnerships across the world and related to environmental, social and economic dimensions of UN:s global goals. | ||
| Postdoctoral Fellow focusing on Isotope Studies of Gases over South Asia | Department of Environmental Science | 30/09/2022 |
| The postdoctoral fellow will be join a strong and long-standing research program focusing on the interlinkages between severe air pollution and climate change in South Asia. To reduce uncertainties, there is need for field-observation-based constraints. This project is focused on leveraging multi-isotope techniques (e.g., δ13C, δ2H, δ18O, Δ14C) to advance constraints on the sources and atmospheric fate of key target gases such as methane, carbon monoxide and others in the highly perturbed atmosphere of South Asia. The combination of strategically located regional source and receptor sites with advanced isotope techniques will allow detailed characterization of sources, atmospheric reactions and overall constraints of their atmospheric lifecycle. The research environment offers well-equipped analytical facilities for addressing these questions with several preconcentration systems and GCirMS instruments as well as observatory-based laser (isotope) spectroscopy and other gas analysers. We have a large international collaborative network and great access to strategic and well-equipped atmospheric observatories in South Asia and elsewhere. The postdoctoral fellow will be centrally engaged in international cooperation including likely field-based campaigns to our atmospheric observatories in Bangladesh, India and the Maldives. | ||
| Postdoctoral Fellow in Design of Chemical Reagents | Dep of Materials and Environmental Chemistry | 30/09/2022 |
| The position involves research on the in-silico design of reagents for the derivatization of glyphosate. A successful candidate will be setting up the in-silico design algorithms in collaboration with the research group of Assoc. Prof. Kruve. The position also involves evaluation of the in-silico generated structures followed by the synthesis of the most promising candidates. The synthesized compounds will be evaluated for their sensitivity in LC/ESI/MS analysis and compared with commercial reagents. Active participation in SUCCeSS network is expected. | ||
| Postdoctoral Fellow in Extragalactic astronomy | Department of Astronomy | 19/09/2022 |
| The position involves reduction and analysis of optical spectra obtained from the FLAMES instrument at VLT or HST slitless spectroscopy. | ||
| Research assistant (temporary position) | Stockholm Resilience Centre | 15/09/2022 |
| We are looking for a person who is interested in research that ranges from the social to the natural sciences and who has documented experience of interdisciplinary academic work. Applicants should be able to explain in their application their disciplinary strengths and the different types of methods they have experience of, as well as how the specific competence portfolio is suitable for this particular program. In other words, we do not require experience in all aspects described above. Applicants are expected to have a Swedish university degree (or equivalent degree from another country) in a relevant discipline and/or field (e.g. interdisciplinary sustainability research). Furthermore, the applicant is expected to be fluent in both English and Swedish, have very good collaboration skills, and excellent skills when it comes to synthesizing and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data. | ||
| Researcher in Palaeogenomics | Department of Zoology | 15/09/2022 |
| The Department of Zoology invites applications for a researcher position within the division of Population Genetics, based at the Centre for Palaeogenetics (CPG) in Stockholm. The position is funded through a 10-year research programme from Swedish Research Council, aimed at analyzing ancient DNA on a million-year timescale with the goal to investigate the processes of speciation, adaptation and hybridization, and how these relate to past environmental change. | ||
| Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Political Science, focus Global Development | Department of Political Science | 12/09/2022 |
| The position entails research, teaching and examination on the undergraduate and advanced level in Political Science, especially on global development, international and comparative politics with a focus on Asia. The tasks also include developing courses and course materials, especially within the Master’s program in political science with a focus on global Asian studies. The applicant will also actively participate in the Centre for Global Asian Studies’ activities. The holder of the position is expected to contribute to strengthening research at the department through scientific publications and through research applications. Teaching at the department is conducted in both Swedish and English. The position includes own research time according to the local working time agreement for senior lecturers. | ||
| Head of Communication | Stockholm Resilience Centre | 10/09/2022 |
| You will lead our work on both external and internal communications. The external communications work includes: national and international media (also social media platforms as well as our own website); coordination of communication work associated with major international events (such as UN summits and conferences); communication advice to researchers; and support for engagement activities that our researchers have with corporations, public authorities, and civil society organizations. SRC’s internal communications include the development of our annual report, monitoring system, maintenance of the intranet, staff meetings, and some support for research workshops. You will also contribute to developing and fundraising of new dimensions of SRC’s communication and engagement activities. You collaborate closely with the SRC leadership and researchers. | ||
