Are you passionate about mathematics and looking to embark on a journey of discovery?

We seek a PhD student for a project at the intersection of mathematics and deep learning to work on theoretical aspects of geometric deep learning. The question whether more data and compute are sufficient to improve neural networks is highly debated at the moment in all areas of deep learning. In this project, you will work on a theoretical framework which will help to better understand these questions in the context of geometric deep learning and add rigorous arguments to a debate driven by empirical results.

Who we are looking for
We seek candidates with the following qualifications:


• To qualify as a PhD student, you must have obtained a master's degree or a 4-year bachelor's degree (or expect to complete such a degree by the starting date of the position) in relevant field. 
• Applicants must have a strong background in mathematics, theoretical physics or computer science.
• Some programming experience is compulsory and the applicants should be keen to develop their programming- and software development skills. 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

Experience in some of the following areas is meritorious: group theory, statistics, neural networks, machine learning and programming. 

Research environment
In the GAPinDNNs research group on Geometry, Algebra and Physics in Deep Neural Networks at the division of Algebra and Geometry, we conduct research on deep learning, in particular geometric deep learning and mathematics for AI.

The expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in the broad sense, is one of the most exciting developments of the 21st century. Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish society and industry. Read more: https://wasp-sweden.org/

We are taking part in this program through the following research project:

How Do Neural Networks Learn Symmetries? Augmentation, Randomization and Equivariance

Supervisor: Jan Gerken (Department of Mathematical Sciences) 
 
Project description
In many deep learning applications ranging from medical image analysis to quantum chemistry, the symmetries of the underlying problem pose an important constraint. These can be taken into account by modifying the architecture of the network (yielding so-called equivariant neural networks) or by learning the symmetry from the data (data augmentation). In this project, the aim is to construct a theoretical framework for data augmentation of deep neural networks. During the last year, the debate around the trade-offs between data augmentation and manifest equivariance has intensified, with data augmentation gaining popularity in notable domains such as protein design and quantum chemistry. The goal of this project is to contribute to this debate with a theoretical framework and novel algorithms.

This project will be conducted in close collaboration with Axel Flinth from Umeå University (who will act as WASP co-supervisor) and Pan Kessel from the company Genentech Roche in Basel (who will act as industrial supervisor).

About the department of Mathematical Sciences

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg is the largest mathematics department in Sweden, with around 200 dedicated employees.

The fully funded 2-year Postdoc project "Modelling of thermomechanical behaviour of AM-built microstructures of superalloys based on data from large-scale neutron and synchrotron infrastructures” combines material modelling, computational mechanics and parameter identification. Join us in exploring this exciting field of research with opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration with experimentalists at large-scale neutron and synchrotron infrastructures in a supportive and friendly working environment.

Information about the project and division
The postdoc position is placed at the Division of Material and Computational Mechanics at the Department of Industrial and Materials Science. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with researchers from the Division of Microstructure Physics and the Division of Engineering Materials at Linköping University. We foster an inclusive, friendly, and supportive working environment to which you are welcome to contribute.

Your project will be part of the activities in the Vinnova Sustainable Industry competence centre, NEutron and X-ray science for industrial Technology transitions (NEXT)

With the introduction of novel materials and advanced manufacturing methods for superalloys, such as innovative casting techniques and additive manufacturing, new opportunities have arisen to tailor the grain structure of components. However, assessing thermomechanical behaviour and damage evolution in new, graded or otherwise complex microstructures remains a challenging task. Parallel projects within NEXT will utilise and further develop large-scale neutron and synchrotron infrastructure tools for ex-situ and in-situ experiments to acquire essential information regarding the microstructure and the physical mechanisms involved during thermomechanical loading. This postdoctoral project will build upon the experimental findings to develop physically based models for predicting and enhancing the understanding of the thermomechanical behaviour of these materials and the influence of microstructure. The modelling will encompass methods for representing microstructures in simulations, crystal plasticity, homogenisation techniques, FEM, and parameter identification based on experimental data.

Main responsibilities

We are looking for a PhD candidate fascinated by the response of sensitive clays, such as quick clays that can change from solid to liquid with small environmental perturbations.  We want to be able to understand how a changing environment will affect the creep rates in sensitive clay slopes, and the probability of triggering catastrophic failures. We offer access to unique experimental data and computational tools developed by our research team for addressing a timely societally relevant problem.

Project overview
The aim is to unravel the anthropogenic and natural processes, and their relative importance, for triggering shallow landslides in sensitive clays. The focus will be on developing computational models that will quantify the mechanisms, precursors and the time to failure. This will be achieved by combining advanced experimental probing with the development of constitutive models that capture the rate-dependent (creep and porewater pressure) response of sensitive clays. Thus, we will be able to understand and quantify the triggers and precursors for shallow slides in sensitive clays as a function of time (>100 years).

Information about the division and the department
Geotechnics research in Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering focuses on characterisation and modelling of complex geomaterials, in particular natural clays. The research activities aim to bridge fundamental understanding and advanced modelling & testing capabilities with application in engineering practice. Our work on experimental testing and numerical modelling at laboratory and field scale is internationally recognised, and thus we are active members in the ALERT Geomaterials network and many international committees. Our international team with over 15 full-time researchers offers a great working environment to learn and develop.

Main responsibilities


• Independent research and research training (80% of time)
• Support for education and activities within the research area and department (20% of time)
• Potential for international collaborations and secondments
• Opportunities for PhD, pedagogical and language courses both nationally and internationally (e.g. Nordic Five Tech and ALERT Geomaterials)

Qualifications
Required


• Undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering or a related topic, with strong emphasis on Geomechanics
• Fluency in spoken and written English
• Willingness to learn Swedish, as necessary for providing teaching support at undergraduate and Master's level.
• Genuine interest in modelling the response of sensitive clays and willingness to work on the formulation and implementation of constitutive models at boundary value level
• Experience in programming

Meritious


• Experience in constitutive modelling of soils, including model formulation and implementation at element level
• Experience in numerical analyses (using finite elements) of geotechnical problems in field scale, in particular coupled flow-deformation analyses
• Ability to read and understand Swedish

The Antibiotic Research Group led by Associate Professor Michaela Wenzel is looking to hire two PhD students to work on a project on the AI-assisted discovery and characterization of peptides effective against the mycolic acid layer of mycobacteria, in particular Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Information about the project and division
In a joint project, two PhD students will explore newly discovered peptides, so-called MAPPs (mycolic acid layer-permeabilizing peptides). These peptides are able to inactivate the outer layer of mycobacteria, the causative agents of life-threatening diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy. This layer, which consists of mycolic acids (hence called mycolic acid layer), makes mycobacteria extremely impermeable to drugs, precluding the use of the majority of antibiotics. MAPPs are a new strategy to strip mycobacteria off this protective coat and open up applications of drugs that would otherwise never work against these deadly pathogens. Moreover, MAPPs display selectivity for mycobacteria over other types of bacteria, promising increased efficacy and significantly lower side effects for patients and their microbiome. The project comprises the AI-assisted discovery and design, screening, mode of action analysis, and pre-clinical characterization of MAPPs.

The Antibiotic Research Group is embedded in the Division of Chemical Biology, providing a dymanic research environment that is home to several young and active research groups that work in biomolecules and their functions in cellular environments. Sharing a common goal to address urgent challenges related to human health, the division comprises a broad expertise ranging from single molecule biophysics to cellular and organismal biology. The division provides access to a cutting-edge techniques and instrumentation, e.g., diverse advanced microscopy techniques, nanotechnology, and protein and membrane biophysics.

Main responsibilities
One PhD position will combine dry-lab work involving artificial intelligence and iterative machine learning models with microbiological wet lab work. The second PhD position is planned to be wholly wet lab-based with a focus on microbiology and membrane biophysics. The project involves AI/ML, in silico peptide analysis, robotics-assisted compound screening , fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, as well as diverse microbiological, biochemical, and biophysical techniques.

While the two PhD projects will be distinct, collaboration within the framework of the overarching project and the mutual exchange of ideas, skills, and expertise are firmly expected. The exact distribution of tasks between the positions, including the ratio of dry and wet lab work, is subject to discussion based on the skills and aspirations of the successful applicants.

In addition to performing their own research, the successful candidates are expected to participate in the supervision of Bachelor and Master theses and take on responsibilities in laboratory and instrument management. PhD students may also participate in course teaching.

Qualifications
The successful candidates must hold (or be close to the completion of) a Master of Science or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedicine). A degree in a related discipline (e.g., Chemistry, Bioinformatics, Data Science) is eligible, if the course and/or thesis work is related or clearly applicable to biological/biomedical research.

Hands-on experience in either microbiology, AI/ML, drug discovery/design, or membrane biology/biophysics is required. Hands-on experience in more than one of these fields is ideal but not mandatory.
Excellent command of the English language in both oral and written communication is required. Swedish language skills are not necessary. Chalmers offers voluntary Swedish courses for PhD students.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
Starting dates are negotiable but the positions should be started under 2025.

Chalmers was founded in 1829 and has the same motto today as it did then: Avancez – forward.

An airborne multi-static radar (AMR) system is a system that includes multiple transmitters and receivers on separated airborne platforms. As a PhD student in signal processing at the department of Electrical Engineering, you will contribute to the knowledge about possibilities, solutions and limitations for AMR systems.

Project overview
Signal processing for radar systems is in the intersection of physical modeling, multidimensional statistics, and linear algebra. Future radar systems will include a network of geometrically separate nodes where some nodes are active (they send out radio waves) and others are passive (listen to the radio waves) or nodes that are both active and passive. The goal of a radar system is to sense the environment and detect and track all interesting objects by operating the passive and active nodes in an efficient way. This PhD project is directed towards signal processing for airborne radar systems where the passive and active nodes are placed on separate flying platforms known as a bistatic (for two nodes) or a multistatic (for more than two nodes) radar setup. In the project we aim to develop efficient algorithms that maximize the information gain about the environment that is probed and sensed by the radar system.

Information about the division and the department
The PhD position is placed in the Signal Processing Group. The research project will be performed in collaboration with researchers from industry. The project is part of a wider focus on radar systems at Chalmers and you will have the possibility to interact and collaborate with PhD students and researchers from other radar projects.

The Signal Processing Group conducts research on a broad range of topics related to the physics-based processing of sensor signals, the fusion of data from multiple sources, system identification as well as the automatic learning from big data. The research focuses on both the fundamentals of physics modeling of signals and the fundamentals of signal processing, as well as the applications of the methods to relevant problems. Several research topics are undertaken in collaboration with the industry and government organizations.

Main responsibilities
Your major responsibility is to pursue research in line with the project, publish, and present scientific articles, and take part in discussions. As part of your PhD activities, you will receive further education by courses relevant for your research, research project, signal processing in a wide sense and your future career. You will also be expected to participate in teaching activities in relevant subjects.
