Nobel Prize for IceCube research with strong ties to Stockholm University
This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen for his decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos from space. Stockholm University has been part of this research for several decades, from IceCube’s predecessor AMANDA to today’s observatory at the South Pole.
18 PhD positions available at the Faculty of Science
As a PhD student at Stockholm University, you will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge within a research field and contribute to new knowledge. The Faculty of Science is now offering 18 PhD positions across a range of scientific disciplines.
To predict Antarctica’s future, scientists need to see beneath the ice
Professor Arjen P. Stroeven from Stockholm University and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research is one of 80 scientists behind a new international review highlighting major gaps in our knowledge of Antarctica’s coastal zone. The researchers warn that what we do not yet know about the landscape beneath and around the Antarctic ice could be limiting our ability to predict future sea-level rise.

New vehicles to reach hard-to-access parts of the polar regions
What is happening beneath thick sea ice, under ice shelves, and in other parts of the polar regions that are difficult for researchers to reach? Researchers now want to develop smart vehicles and sensors that can collect data in places that are difficult for people and research vessels to access.
Apply for a short-term exchange by 31 October
On 1 October, applications for more than 40 Blended Intensive Programmes, BIPs, open. All students in the CIVIS university alliance, where Stockholm University is a member, are welcome to apply by 31 October.
New scholarship holders welcomed at Spökslottet
It is a mild early autumn evening when Stockholm University welcomes new Swedish Institute scholarship holders at master's level. The event is held at the historic Spökslottet (Scheffler Palace) in central Stockholm.
The professor who digs deep into climate changes in the past
Peatlands are key areas for the Earth's climate, storing enormous amounts of carbon. What controls productivity in these types of wetlands is an important question for future climate. Newly appointed professor Malin Kylander has spent two decades trying to understand these processes, digging deep into bogs.
