Fully Funded Lund University Scholarships & PhD Positions 2026–2027: 7+ Open Programmes

Doctoral Position in Medical Radiation Physics (Tritium Persistence) - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University advertises a doctoral position in medical radiation physics focused on tritium persistence in soils and sediments. Tritium - a radioactive isotope of hydrogen released by nuclear facilities - behaves in environmental systems in ways that are still imperfectly understood, and the project studies how organically bound tritium persists in soils and sediments, how it moves through food chains, and what this means for radiological assessment.

Doctoral Student in Risk and Safety of Heterogeneous Swarm Systems (CHASS, SSF-funded) - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral student position on risk and safety of heterogeneous swarm systems, hosted by the CHASS competence centre and funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF). Swarm systems - large numbers of cooperating drones, robots and autonomous agents - promise major advances in logistics, inspection and rescue, but their heterogeneous, dynamic composition creates new safety and assurance challenges.

Doktorand inom Medicinsk Vetenskap: Halsovetenskap (PRO-COG) - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral student in medical science with a orientation toward health sciences (halsovetenskap), within the PRO-COG project. The project studies how people with cognitive disabilities experience and navigate public environments, and how society can design environments and services that support participation for this group.

Doctoral Student in Biomedical Engineering: Engineering Acoustics (Dolphin Echolocation and Medical Ultrasound) - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral student in biomedical engineering specialising in engineering acoustics. The project bridges bioacoustics and medical technology, taking the echolocation abilities of dolphins as inspiration for advances in computational acoustics and medical ultrasound.

Doctoral Student in Industrial Design with Focus on Strategic Design - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral student in industrial design with a focus on strategic design. The project examines design as a strategic resource in organisations and society, studying how design competence shapes decision-making, innovation processes and long-term organisational direction.

Doctoral Student in Technology and Society: Regulatory Learning and Supervisory Competence (MSCA REGULAIRE) - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral student position in Technology and Society within the MSCA REGULAIRE doctoral network. The project studies regulatory learning and supervisory competence in the implementation of the EU AI Act, examining how supervisory authorities build the knowledge, routines and organisational capacity needed to govern artificial intelligence.

Post-doctoral Fellow: Assessment of Global Forest Dynamics - Lund University, Sweden

Lund University · Sweden

Lund University invites applications for a post-doctoral fellow position assessing global forest dynamics. The project works on large-scale assessment of forest change, combining remote sensing, forest inventory data and modelling to understand how forests worldwide are responding to climate, management and disturbance.
