Om Sunderby folkhögskola Sunderby folkhögskola bedriver utbildningar och kurser inom allt från gymnasieämnen till kreativa utbildningar med kunskap och människan i fokus. Våra huvudmän är LO-distriktet i Norra Sverige, ABF Norr och Unga Örnar Norrbotten. I stiftelsen driver vi olika typer av projekt för att stärka demokratin och att människor i utanförskap ska få verktyg och stöd att påverka sin framtid. Vårt projektteam består av två fasta projektledare och antalet övriga projektmedarbetare varierar utifrån de projekt vi har i gång. Om projektet DC Farming: Målet med projektet DC Farming är att utveckla ett koncept för hur Arbetsintegrerande sociala företag (ASF) kan använda restströmmar, som exempelvis restvärme från datacenter, för att skapa arbetstillfällen för människor som står långt från arbetsmarknaden och samtidigt bidra till lokal livsmedelsproduktion. ASF har som främsta mål att skapa sysselsättning för människor som annars har svårt att få arbete och verksamheten företaget bedriver är verktyget för att uppnå det målet. Vi odlar grönsaker hydroponiskt i ett växthus i Boden, som värms av överskottsvärme. I växthuset odlar vi också svamp i kaffesump och i en container utanför föder vi upp larver på restströmmar från tex livsmedelsbutiker. Larverna blir sedan djurfoder. Parallellt tar vi fram verktyg och modeller för att stötta arbetsintegreringen. Meningen med att ta fram konceptet är att fler ska kunna göra samma sak på andra platser. DC Farming är ett samverkansprojekt mellan Sunderby folkhögskola, Coompanion Norrbotten och Bodens kommun. Projektet finansieras av Svenska ESF rådet och Region Norrbotten. Projektet har pågått i två och ett halvt år och avslutas 2027-03-31.

Department of Ecology The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is one of Northern Europe largest academic hubs for ecological research and offers a dynamic and excellent research environment with modern infrastructure. The Department of Ecology has about 150 employees, of whom around 40 work at the Grimsö Research Station in Bergslagen. Together, the SLU Ecology Centre and Grimsö Research Station conduct research on sustainable agriculture and forestry, plant protection, nature conservation, and wildlife management, and provide scientific knowledge to inform Sweden and Europe’s environmental policies.   About the position Project Can we foresee the outcomes of public policies, political choices and other decisions? We are finding out by developing serious games and running them using AI. We are building large-scale simulations of societal processes (environmental negotiations, nature conservation policies, and hybrid-threat scenarios) in which every actor is an autonomous AI agent powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). These agents simulate real-world stakeholders, from government ministers to interest groups, and interact through natural language in complex strategic settings. We then run thousands of iterations to map the distribution of outcomes. This effort is part of a new research program Articulating Complexity ( https://www.slu.se/articulating-complexity/ ) hosted at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and led by Guillaume Chapron (Docent). It is funded by grants from the Swedish Research Council (VR), the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra), and the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development (FORMAS). Our goal is to build a novel methodology at the intersection of AI, ecology, political science, and complex system analysis that may change how policies are designed and stress-tested and how governments prepare for crises. We are looking for ambitious research engineer to join this effort. Tasks and duties You will be the person who makes the simulations actually run. Concretely, this means: Building the LLM-agent infrastructure (from an existing working implementation). Each agent has a multi-tier memory and an affect state that modifies both prompts and available actions, and a strategic reasoning layer that tracks reputation, commitments, and mental models of other agents. Extending and maintaining the multi-agent simulation framework. A simulation runs dozens of concurrent LLM instances, communicating through structured message-passing protocols. You will develop and maintain this framework, including the validation methodology. Running large-scale Monte Carlo simulations at scale on GPU-enabled HPC clusters (e.g. NAISS). Publishing and dissemination of the project results. You will co-author scientific publications from the project. The research will produce papers at the intersection of computational social science, ecology, security studies, and AI. You will work closely with the PI (Guillaume Chapron https://www.slu.se/en/profilepages/c/guillaume-chapron/) and a postdoctoral researcher in computational social science (to be recruited concurrently). The three of you will form the core team. Your profile Required A degree in computer science, engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or a related quantitative field. A Master or engineering degree is sufficient; a PhD is welcome but not required. Strong programming skills, especially in Python, and sufficient understanding of machine learning/deep learning to work effectively with modern generative AI systems. Ability to assess and incorporate cutting-edge generative AI developments into the project. Experience with software engineering practices such as version control, testing, documentation, modular design, and reproducible workflows. Ability to work independently, debug complex systems under time pressure, and take ownership of technical infrastructure. Desirable Experience with LLMs, including programmatic use through APIs and local deployment. The candidate should be able to select, configure, adapt, and critically evaluate LLMs for research applications. Experience with deep reinforcement learning, agent-based modelling, or multi-agent systems, including the design of simulation environments, interacting agents, decision rules, feedback mechanisms, and scenario-based analyses. Experience with high-performance computing: batch job submission, GPU workflows, and managing large-scale computational experiments. Interest in the application domain: nature conservation, environmental policy, political science, geopolitics and security studies, complex adaptive systems. You do not need a formal background in these fields, but you should find them interesting. Assessment criteria Applications will be assessed on the following: Demonstrated technical ability. We care more about what you have built, than about what courses you have taken. A GitHub portfolio, a deployed system, a well-documented side project, or a track record of solving hard AI problems will carry more weight than a list of credentials. Autonomy and resourcefulness. This is a small team doing frontier work, so the role requires someone who can diagnose problems independently, make pragmatic technical decisions, and keep complex systems running. If that excites rather than worries you, this is the right position. Collaborative disposition. You will work daily with questions from very different disciplines: ecology, political science, geopolitics. The ability to communicate technical constraints and possibilities to non-technical collaborators is essential. Interpersonal skills will form an important part of the assessment. Location: The position is based either at Grimsö or at Uppsala, with a possibility to be partly based at another academic Swedish institution with a core expertise in AI and machine learning. Form of employment:  Fixed-term employment 12 months with the possibility of prolongation.  Scope: 100%. Start date: As agreed, as soon as possible after recruitment.  Application: Please submit your application before deadline 14 July 2026. You can submit your application by clicking the button below.

Department of Crop Production Ecology Biology with a specialisation in ecology - The Department of Crop Production Ecology is seeking a PhD student in plant breeding and plant protection against insect pests. Description: Chemical insecticides have been an important tool for limiting crop losses caused by insect pests and insect-borne viruses, but their availability has declined sharply in recent years. Crop varieties with resistance, tolerance or other traits that enable them to avoid insect damage and viruses spread by insects will therefore be a cornerstone of future integrated pest management. The vision for the new project 'Node for Plant Breeding against Insect Pests and Viruses' within the centre SLU Grogrund is to reduce crop losses caused by pests and insect-borne viruses through crop breeding. The project focuses on insect pests and viruses in wheat, field beans, peas and sugar beet and is a collaboration between five departments at SLU and three plant breeding companies. We are seeking a highly motivated individual for a PhD position within the Node, focusing on the broad bean beetle (Bruchus rufimanus), a key pest of field bean. Infestations by the broad bean beetle pose an obstacle to developing field bean cultivation and a market for field beans for human consumption. The PhD programme comprises both research and coursework. The main tasks within the research component will be: Examine the insect's life cycle in the field and in storage Develop methods for screening of broad bean beetle infestations in a large panel of plant breeding material Contributing to the development of DNA markers for resistance or tolerance to broan bean beetle, for future application in plant breeding You will collaborate on the project with other PhD students and senior researchers in plant breeding, crop production, entomology, virology and genetics, as well as with the industry and other stakeholders, primarily Lantmännen and NordGen.

Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Third-cycle subject area: Forest management Description of the doctoral project:   Swedish society is debating the long-term capacity of even-aged conifer-dominated forestry to reliably produce biomass over the coming century, and simultaneously sustain the breadth of ecosystem services that society increasingly demands from forestlands. Alternative approaches to production forests, such as restoration of broadleaved forests are thus of growing interest. The increased use of such alternatives may enhance the overall resilience of Swedish forests to projected climate change, better balance the provision of forest ecosystem services, provide vital habitat for forest biodiversity, and thereby help ensure forest ecosystem services delivery over the coming century. The EU Nature restoration Regulation and Sweden's national environmental goals, provide official recognition of the urgent need to restore and improve the ecological condition of forest ecosystems across Europe. Our goal with this project is to identify cost-effective paths forward for the regeneration and restoration of new mixed broadleaved dominated forests. About the position: We intend to contrast passive versus active pathways for restoring such diverse forests. To address such issues, we will use existing experiments, chronosequences, and survey-data for evaluating the effects from restoration on ecosystem services and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of international researchers. We are looking for a person who, as part of a PhD, will address these challenges, but we welcome those who bring specific research interests which can shape the ultimate direction of the PhD. Requirements: To meet the general entry requirements you must have been awarded a second-cycle (Master's) qualification, satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad (Higher Education Ordinance 1993:100, Chapter 7, Section 39). You must also meet the equivalent English language requirements as those necessary for the Swedish upper-secondary qualification Engelska B/6. Your profile: The applicant should by the date of admission to PhD studies have a Master's degree in forest science, biology, ecology or equivalent.You should have a strong interest in forest ecosystems and an interest in working with large data sets. A driver's license is a necessity for work duties. Beneficial qualifications are research experience in forestry, ecology, and similar subjects. Experience in field-based forest research, transdisciplinary studies and ecosystem service assessments are also beneficial qualifications. Focus is given to your analytical and problem-solving abilities and your ability to work independently. Beneficial qualifications include the demonstrated capacity to express yourself in English, both orally and in writing.
