PhD position on artificial photosynthesis at sub-zero temperatures within cryo-protective lipidic mesophase nanoconfinement (P2406) 100%position for 4 years, earliest starting date: 1 January 2025The Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) at the University of Basel invites highly motivatedscientists to apply for the SNI PhD programme in Nanoscience and to join the exciting joint project between the University of Basel and the Paul Scherrer Institute.Your positionPhotosynthesis is a critical process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and transforms it into organic matter, which forms the primary source of the Earth's biomass and energy storage. However, in polar regions and during winters, the natural photosynthetic activity ceases due to the low temperature. This project aims to develop an unfrozen artificial photosynthetic platform using nanoconfinement to keep water liquid and enable CO2 fixation at sub-zero temperatures. Lipidic mesophases have proven effective for other enzymatic reactions down to -20 °C. Utilizing this platform, we will incorporate thylakoid membranes from pea plants, containing all necessary enzymes for photosynthesis. The efficiency of this nano-platform at low temperatures will be tested by measuring the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Combination of techniques such as small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), and quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) will be employed to analyse nanoscale self-assembly and the impact of molecular dynamics on photosynthetic efficiency at low temperatures.Your profileFor this project, we are seeking a candidate with a strong scientific background and a Master's degree in any field relevant for the project.We offer youExcellent scientific and social environmentVery competitive employment conditionsMembership in a very supportive and recognised communityThe successful candidate will become a member of a very active research group and of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) PhD school with ~30 currently supported scientists. The SNI covers a wide variety of topics, including cutting edge quantum physics and chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, biochemistry, cell biology, or medical research.

Recent simulations indicate that this combination of materials can efficiently realize directional spin wave propagation. Within the scope of the PhD, the student will be guided in developing the expertise in preparing suitable sample and to characterize them with standard laboratory methods (sputtering, magnetization measurements, magnetic force microscopy) and more advanced imaging methods such as nitrogen vacancy spectroscopy and X-ray microscopy.Your profileFor this project, we are seeking to expand our team with a candidate who has a strong academic scientific background with a Master in physics or material science and a keen interest in sample fabrication, magnetic materials, and the development and application of advanced measurement methodologies. Good teamwork and communication skills are required, with a proactive approach to drive forward research performed in collaboration within our groups.We offer youExcellent scientific and social environmentVery competitive employment conditionsMembership in a very supportive and recognised communityThe successful candidate will become a member of a very active research group at the physics department and of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) PhD school with ~30 currently supported scientists.

2 PhD positions in Sustainability Research, focus on sustainable agri-food system governance 100%01.03.2025The Sustainability Research Group at the University of Basel, led by Prof. Dr. Janina Grabs, is looking for two PhD researchers to investigate the governance of sustainable agri-food systems, with a particular focus on the implementation of mandatory sustainability legislation in tropical agri-food commodity chains, in the framework of the SNF-funded Starting Grant Project EXPECT-AGRI.The project EXPECT-AGRIThe production of agricultural commodities such as coffee, cocoa, or palm oil is associated with deforestation, forced and child labor, and smallholder poverty. European governments currently aim to address these challenges via the introduction of mandatory supply chain sustainability legislation such as due diligence regulations and import restrictions.This five-year research project aims to examine the impact of such sustainability laws in the supply chains of coffee, cocoa and palm oil. What expectations do these laws create between the regulatory authorities and the companies that trade in these commodities? And how do these expectations in turn influence the shift towards more sustainable agriculture? The project will examine these questions via a combination of qualitative (e.g. expert interviews, Q-methodology, case study analysis) and quantitative (e.g. company surveys) research, including fieldwork in commodity-producing countries.Your positionAs part of EXPECT-AGRI, the successful candidates will conduct longitudinal, qualitative research on policy implementation in three tropical agri-food commodity sectors (coffee, cocoa, and palm oil). One PhD candidate will focus on fieldwork in Colombia, and the other one will work in Côte d'Ivoire. You will further collaborate with postdoctoral researchers and mentor Master's students in the context of the project. The candidates will pursue a PhD degree in Sustainability Research and be enrolled in the University of Basel's Graduate School of Social Sciences. Place of work will be Basel, Switzerland.Both appointments are scheduled to begin on March 1, 2025, or at the earliest convenience of the successful candidates.Your profileApplicants should have completed a Master's degree in a relevant field such as political science, political economy, public policy/administration, global governance, sustainability research, sociology, development studies, or another social science discipline, and achieved a minimum grade equivalent to 5 (out of 6) in the Swiss system. The candidates should have demonstrated experience in the use of qualitative research methods, and ideally have experience in living and/or working in the case study countries (Colombia or Côte d'Ivoire), or more broadly have experience in Latin America or West Africa.We are looking for candidates with a proficient level in English and a second language (Spanish or French), excellent interpersonal and communication skills, a strong work ethic, the ability to work independently, and a high willingness to collaborate.We offer youBoth positions are for an initial period of one year, renewable for another three years after positive evaluation.As part of the very interdisciplinary Sustainability Research Group of the University of Basel, you will be able to work in a scientifically highly stimulating environment.
