Do you want to contribute to improving human health?

The department The Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS) conducts research and education in the field of neuroscience from the molecular level to the society level. The clinical research and education are conducted in collaboration with other research groups from the Karolinska Institutet, with other universities as well as Region Stockholm.

The division The Division of Eye and Vision at St. Erik Eye Hospital has a major teaching commitment in areas such as optometry and ophthalmology. The division has the Unit of Optometry, which is responsible for the BSc in optometry and the MSc in Clinical Optometry. The unit is also responsible for KI's Optometric Clinic, which is the clinic where the optometry, medical and eye nurse students receive their clinical training and exposure.

St. Erik Eye Hospital St. Erik Eye Hospital is a limited liability company owned by Region Stockholm. The hospital employs more than 450 employees divided into four clinics and six support functions. St. Erik Eye Hospital is the only hospital in Sweden focused on a single organ, the eye. St. Erik Eye Hospital offers emergency and specialized eye care, research and education.

The department and St. Erik Eye Hospital are now looking for a professor who can be involved in developing the activities at the department and the hospital.

Job description

Laser and electron beam processes such as welding, heating and additive manufacturing are important in the materials and manufacturing industry. Fundamental understanding and the ability to control these processes to control the microstructures and properties of structural materials is therefore an important enabler for innovative materials and manufacturing processes. However, basic understanding can be difficult to develop for these often very rapid processes that are difficult to characterize. With synchrotron light, however, it is possible to follow the processes in real time and in this project we intend to develop a platform for laser and electron beam processes at the PETRA III synchrotron light source. There we should be able to study these processes in real time with diffraction and imaging and relate them to advanced modelling.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Work in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH

About us...

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg. We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine – in the lab, in the clinic and in silico. We focus on neurodegenerative processes and are especially interested in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and their contributing factors.

The LCSB recruits talented scientists from various disciplines: computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at the LCSB. We excel becausewe are truly interdisciplinary and together we contribute to science and society.

  Your Role...

The Systems Control Group seeks a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate. Postdocs are expected to interact with the rest of the group, especially with PhD students and support grant writing.

The open position in part of a JPND project, funded by FNR. The project aims to enhance the outcome of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) through the individualization and optimization of stimulation settings. Our vision is to replace the current practice of selecting stimulation pulse width, amplitude, and frequency by trial and error with a model-based patient- specific calculation. This will be achieved by incorporating insights from novel clinical studies into individualized mathematical models underpinning clinically relevant DBS programming tools. The consortium is composed of neurologists, electrical and control engineers, computer scientists, movement scientists, and neurosurgeons from four European countries.

Using arange of mathematical tools, this project aims to improve our understanding of how DBS affects the brain. It combines all available datasets in the project to create models capturing patient-specific and personalized brain dynamics before and after DBS stimulation. Models will capture stimulation at a wide range of frequencies, pulse widths and amplitudes across different contact configurations. Data includes EEG, peripheral sensors (such as accelerometers), LFPs and clinical data. Changing stimulation parameters will give us a nonlinear view of changes in brain connections. This will build new hypotheses on the effect of DBS stimulation on different areas of the brain and help us predict effective stimulation parameters.

PhD Candidate: Cyber incidents preparedness and response in humanitarian organizations (1,0 FTE)

The Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is looking for a PhD candidate to join our international research team on ‘Cyber Security Governance’ and ‘Governance of Crises’.

Project description Cyber incident preparation and response strategies have been developed primarily for the private sector. However, humanitarian organizations (HOs) have unique characteristics and challenges regarding collecting data, maintaining technological independence, and operating in cyber-insecure countries, among others. The consequences of a cyber incident for HOs can be catastrophic, severely limiting their ability to provide aid, damaging their reputation, and resulting in loss of support from donors. In this PhD trajectory, you will be exploring how cyber incident preparation and response strategies can be adapted to the unique characteristics of the HOs.

This PhD vacancy is part of the project funded by a FGGA starter grant ‘Securing Humanitarian Operations: Preparedness and Response to Cyber Crises in Aid Delivery.’ The project represents the consolidation of the alliance between the ‘Cyber Security Governance’ and the ‘Governance of Crises’ research groups at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs. Thus, the PhD candidate will conduct research both on cyber incident preparation, response and communication strategies, as well as the humanitarian sector. This research should lead you to obtain a PhD within a four-year timeframe. The position is split between research and teaching activities related to both groups (80%/20%).

Key responsibilities

• Conduct original, collaborative and novel research in the field of cyber crisis governance and humanitarian action;
• Publish and present scientific articles at international peer-review journals, and national and international conferences;
• Support education activities in cybersecurity and crisis governance in the bachelor and master programs offered at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs, including lecturing, marking, and providing feedback to students;
• Engage in collaborations between academia and the humanitarian sector;
• Follow PhD courses based on an individual training and supervision plan.

Selection Criteria The applicant is expected to have:

• MSc in cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance, security studies, humanitarian action, crisis management, political science, public administration or related field – a research master degree is considered an asset;
• Experience with qualitative and quantitative research methods;
• Experience with working in multi- or interdisciplinary teams;
• Availability to travel and conduct fieldwork (interviews and survey) outside the Netherlands;
• Demonstrable strong skills in writing, communication, and presentation;
• Excellent command of English, other languages are an advantage.
