The Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP) at Stockholm University is looking for a PhD student in Ecology and Evolution. The position is part of a research project investigating the evolutionary drivers and genomic consequences of pollen evolution during shifts in pollination mode.
Professor Tanja Bosch, University of Cape Town, South Africa, current Bonnier Guest Professor, holds a public lecture on Oct 7 titled: "Living with AI: Intimacy, Culture and Public Knowledge"
Stockholm University traditionally celebrated its newly appointed doctors, professors, jubilee doctors and honorary doctors of the past academic year at Stockholm City Hall on the last Friday in September. During the inauguration and conferment ceremony, the President also presented the Award for Good Teaching as well as the University’s Large Gold Medal.
How can we build a stronger Nordic research environment in labour law? One way is to create opportunities for early-career researchers to meet and exchange experiences across national borders.
A new collaboration between four CIVIS universities will bring researchers and civil society groups together to experiment with creative approaches to democratic participation and public engagement.
What happened to working parents in the US when the pandemic hit, and what role did union representation play? A study of working parents in the United States finds that those covered by union representation were less likely to lose their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, but more likely to have their working hours reduced. Flexible work arrangements and leave policies accounted for part of the differences in employment outcomes.
On September 22, Research Friday was held at the AlbaNova University Center and at the House of Science, and this year the event celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Our new Assistant Professor, Ronja Helénsdotter, joined the IIES in the beginning of September after two years as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT.
Climate scenarios are usually presented through models, graphs and reports. At the Broken Greenhouse Research Festival at Stockholm University, they became places to enter, walk between and discuss. On 25–26 September, researchers, artists and visitors met around five sculptural interpretations of possible climate futures.
A few of days ago, on our way south, we saw the first real sunset of the cruise. Shortly before midnight the sun touched the horizon and rose back up from the ice. It was a stunning view, but even more interesting was the atmosphere up on the bridge. People gathering and waiting for the sunset to come. It was really heartwarming to see how many people were eager to admire nature doing its course.
How cells are arranged within cyanobacterial filaments affects how they communicate with one another. New research from the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP) at Stockholm University provides new insights into how cellular architecture shapes communication in multicellular bacteria.
Onboard Oden, we are trying to understand how a changing climate is affecting the Arctic. To do that, scientists observe almost every part of the Arctic system: the atmosphere above us, the sea ice around us, the ocean beneath us, the seafloor and its sediments, and the organisms living both in the water and in the ice.
