Fully Funded Uppsala University Scholarships & PhD Positions 2026–2027: 8+ Open Programmes

PhD Student in Electrical Engineering: Power System Adequacy - Uppsala University, Sweden

Uppsala University · Sweden

Uppsala University invites applications for a doctoral student in electrical engineering with a focus on power system adequacy. The project studies whether future power systems, with high shares of weather-dependent generation and new demands such as electrified transport and industry, will be able to meet electricity needs reliably across timescales.

PhD-student in Evolutionary and Ecological Genetics - Uppsala University, Sweden

Uppsala University · Sweden

Uppsala University invites applications for a doctoral student position in evolutionary and ecological genetics. The project applies genomic methods to questions in population and evolutionary genetics, studying how genetic variation is shaped by ecological processes and how natural populations adapt to changing environments.

PhD Student in Geophysics (Department of Earth Sciences) - Uppsala University, Sweden

Uppsala University · Sweden

The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University invites applications for a PhD student position in geophysics. Uppsala operates one of the longest-running geoscience programmes in Europe, and its geophysics activities span solid-Earth geophysics, geophysical imaging of subsurface structure, and studies of crustal processes combining seismic, potential-field and electromagnetic methods with quantitative modelling.

PhD in Psychology: Developmental Psychology (DiVE Lab) - Uppsala University, Sweden

Uppsala University · Sweden

Uppsala University invites applications for a doctoral position in psychology at the DiVE Lab, working within developmental psychology. The lab studies development and individual variation, and the doctoral project contributes to the lab's programme on how developmental processes unfold and vary between children and contexts.

PhD Student in Recycling of Solid Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Batteries - Uppsala University, Sweden

Uppsala University · Sweden

Uppsala University invites applications for a PhD student position on the recycling of solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries. The project focuses on lithium halide solid electrolytes, a promising class of materials for next-generation solid-state cells, and develops closed-loop recycling routes that recover and regenerate these materials after cell use.
