Assistant professorship (non-tenure-track) in Assyriology at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), invites applications for an assistant professorship (non-tenure-track) in Assyriology starting on January 1st, 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The assistant professorship is a fixed-term position for three years from January 2027 to December 2029.

Introduction
The Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (https://ccrs.ku.dk) covers the study of culture, religion, ethics, language and society around the world historically and today. The department hosts both language-based regional studies outside Western Europe and thematically oriented studies including comparative cultural studies, minority studies and the study of religions. The assistant professor will work in the interdisciplinary Ancient Culture Studies section, which consists of Assyriology, Middle Eastern Archaeology, Egyptology, and Mesoamerican Studies (https://ccrs.ku.dk/research/ancientcultures/).

The section focuses on the world’s earliest complex societies in the Middle East and Mesoamerica and the lasting legacies of their ideas. Our research and teaching span combines ancient languages and archaeology to understand some of the most significant transformations in our collective past, including the rise of villages and cities, the emergence of writing and religion, and the development of technology, craftsmanship, political power, and social inequality. Our researchers study both ancient texts and material culture, as well as the context of these past legacies in the present.

The Ancient Culture Studies section at UCPH maintains the only full-degree program in Assyriology in the Nordic countries, from BA and MA, to PhD degrees. Assyriology at UCPH builds on a long-standing and internationally recognized research tradition, characterized by philological expertise, high academic standards, and active participation in global scholarly networks. The field has contributed significantly to the study of the ancient Near East and continues to foster international collaboration and excellence in both research and teaching. Applicants are invited to familiarize themselves with the Faculty’s strategic landmarks: Strategic landmarks – University of Copenhagen (ku.dk)

Job description
The assistant professor (non-tenure-track) position is a fixed-term three-year academic position. The successful candidate is expected to conduct philologically founded research in Assyriology at a high international standard and to contribute to knowledge exchange with international scholarly communities, relevant stakeholders, and the wider public. The candidate will be expected to conduct research-based lectures and seminars, supervision, and examination of undergraduate and graduate students in Assyriology, as well as in courses taught in collaboration with Middle Eastern Archaeology, Egyptology, and Mesoamerican Studies. The teaching load equates up to seven contact hours per week over the course of a 14-week semester, in addition to examining and supervising students. The position includes the mandatory completion of a university teacher-training course for assistant professors. In addition, the assistant professor will participate in outreach activities and share in the administrative responsibilities of the Ancient Culture Studies section, including convening courses, attending meetings, and participating in shared academic governance.

The assistant professor will have a background in Assyriology, and a track record of conducting innovative and impactful research in one or more areas of cuneiform studies that complements existing expertise in Assyriology and the section for Ancient Culture Studies. In addition to relevant language/dialect and period specialization, applicants are encouraged to demonstrate knowledge and expertise in one or more Assyriological fields of research, such as – but by no means limited to – religion and ritual practices; political, social and economic history; literature and intellectual history; law and administration; linguistics and philology; as well as writing, epigraphy, and palaeography.

The assistant professor will effectively deliver or contribute to core modules in Assyriology at both BA and MA level, as well as to shared courses. Furthermore, the applicant will have the opportunity to actively contribute to the upcoming revision of our current MA program in Assyriology, and to participate in various initiatives designed to attract students to Assyriology. The candidate is encouraged to propose ideas for attracting new students to study Assyriology.

Since the work will be divided equally between teaching and research (including administration and communication), applicants must document competencies in both of these areas.

Postdoc in Embryonic DNA Replication and Chromatin Biology at The Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc for a 3-year position to commence in April 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position is part of a research programme entitled 'From a Single Cell to a Complex Organism: Establishing Life with DNA Replication', financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation through a Hallas-Møller Emerging Investigator grant.

Information on the department can be found at: https://icmm.ku.dk/english/

Our research

The Halliwell Group at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM), University of Copenhagen, investigates one of the most fundamental questions in biology: how a single fertilised egg successfully gives rise to a complex organism. We combine molecular biology, embryology, genomics and genome engineering to understand how DNA replication is established during the earliest stages of mammalian development, and how failures in this process contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss and developmental disorders.

Our research is highly interdisciplinary and combines human embryology, mouse models, single-cell genomics, advanced imaging and genome engineering. As a member of the group, you will work in an international and collaborative environment alongside PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, technicians and clinician-scientists, with opportunities to develop both technical expertise and scientific independence.

The Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM) provides outstanding research infrastructure, including dedicated facilities for human and mouse embryology, transgenic mouse generation, advanced microscopy and integrated single-cell genomics, creating an ideal environment for ambitious experimental research.

Your job

This postdoctoral position is part of a newly funded research programme investigating how DNA replication is established during the earliest stages of mammalian development. Accurate genome duplication is essential from the very first embryonic cell division, yet early embryos are remarkably susceptible to replication errors that can compromise development and are thought to contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss and congenital disease.

Our goal is to uncover the molecular mechanisms that establish robust DNA replication immediately after fertilisation. To achieve this, we combine cutting-edge approaches including single-embryo proteomics, allele-resolved replication sequencing, CRISPR-based genome engineering and innovative embryological techniques in both human samples and mouse models.

The successful candidate will lead two major components of the project. The first focuses on identifying maternal proteins that promote successful early embryonic development through quantitative single-embryo proteomics. The second explores a fundamental question in genome biology: whether DNA replication programmes are determined by chromatin itself or by the surrounding nuclear environment.

This position offers an exceptional opportunity to establish expertise at the interface of developmental biology, genome regulation and reproductive medicine while contributing to technically ambitious and conceptually innovative research.

Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist within the fields of Molecular or Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Embryology or alike with the following competencies and experience:

Essential experience and skills:

You have obtained a PhD degree or equivalent.
You are experienced in mammalian cell culture, standard molecular biology and embryology techniques.
You are experienced in supervising BSc, MSc and/or PhD students.
You have good communication skills and the ability to work in teams with, e.g., PhD and MSc students.
Experience with mouse/human embryology, IVF/ICSI, or embryo microinjection.
You have excellent English skills, both written and spoken.

Desirable experience and skills:

Have obtained FELASA ABD accredited certificate in animal handling or equivalent.
You are experienced in CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering.
Experience in the field of DNA replication, DNA repair, genome instability and/or chromatin biology.
Experience with next-generation sequencing and associated bioinformatic analysis.
Experience with single-cell or single-embryo genomic/proteomic workflows.
You have obtained a first author publication.

Place of employment

The place of employment is at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment with access to modern laboratories, an integrated single-cell genomics facility, and state-of-the-art embryology and imaging equipment.

Terms of employment
The average weekly working hours are 37 hours per week.

The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of up to 3 years, with a starting date of April 2027 or thereafter.

Salary, pension and other conditions of employment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations) or other relevant organisation. Currently, the monthly salary starts at 39.900 DKK/approx. 5,350 EUR (October 2021 level). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. The employer will pay an additional 18,07% to your pension fund.

Foreign and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark the last 10 years.

PhD fellowship in the mechanisms of muscle-derived FGF21 signaling and age-related metabolic resistance in aging

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

University of Copenhagen

We are offering a PhD fellowship in the mechanisms of muscle-derived FGF21 signaling and age-related metabolic resistance, commencing 1 November 2026, or as soon as possible.

Our group and research

The Finger Group, part of the Division of Translational Metabolism at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, investigates how mitochondrial dysfunction, cardiolipin metabolism, and endocrine stress signals drive skeletal muscle decline during aging. We combine mouse models of aging and myopathy, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and endocrine signaling approaches (FGF21, leptin, insulin) with cutting-edge molecular and imaging techniques. As a newly established group, we offer a dynamic, hands-on environment where PhD students work closely with the PI and collaborate across an international network, including groups studying exercise physiology, redox biology, and metabolic endocrinology.

Project description

Skeletal muscle produces FGF21 as a stress hormone under mitochondrial and metabolic strain, signaling in an endocrine manner to distal organs such as liver, adipose tissue, and brain to coordinate a systemic metabolic stress response. However, with aging, target organs appear to become progressively resistant to muscle-derived FGF21, blunting its protective systemic effects and contributing to metabolic dysfunction associated with sarcopenia and metabolic myopathy. This project will dissect the molecular basis of this age-related FGF21 resistance in peripheral target organs, using in vivo mouse models (including AAV-mediated gene delivery and inducible systems), assessment of muscle-derived FGF21 release under metabolic and mitochondrial stress, and cellular/molecular readouts of FGF21 receptor signaling in target tissues. The successful candidate will characterize how target-organ FGF21 sensitivity declines with age, identify the receptor/downstream signaling nodes responsible for this resistance, and test strategies to restore FGF21 responsiveness in aged or diseased organs, with the aim of informing new therapeutic angles for age-related metabolic dysfunction.

Principal supervisor is Fabian Finger, Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, fabian.finger@sund.ku.dk.

Postdoctoral Position in Statistics Education

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for University Science Education (NNF-USE).

The Department of Science Education invites applications for a three-year postdoctoral position in university statistics education research, commencing on January 1, 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position is part of the research project Toolbox Courses in Data Science at the NNF-USE, led by Professor Carl Winsløw. The postdoc will be part of the research group on Didactics of Mathematics, which hosts several other scholars working with stochastics education at all levels. Besides the researchers located at UCPH, NNF-USE involves partners from two other Danish universities (University of Aarhus, University of Southern Denmark) and from abroad.

Project Description

The teaching of statistics and more broadly data science to students of other sciences is not limited to introducing them to standard techniques including those furnished by computer software. To be efficient, students must learn how scientific questions are investigated by statistical methods based on further analysis of the context and questions, planning of data collection and careful analysis of the conditions under which statistical theory and techniques serve to analyse the data in view of addressing the original questions. In the project, pairs of service/toolbox courses on statistics/data science, and some corresponding undergraduate and graduate science contexts, will already have been analysed in the project, within the framework of the anthropological theory of the didactics (ATD), with curriculum analysis based on paths of questions, praxeologies and other methods. Both the project participants, and the courses and programmes in question, come from both the University of Copenhagen and the University of Aarhus; significant time will be spent at the second institution as well.

The Postdoctoral Position

Based on the curriculum analysis, the postdoctoral fellow will construct and experiment didactical designs for students in the courses, which could provide them with authentic experiences of data analysis in their broader field, such as nanoscience or machine learning. The fellow will have the opportunity to work and publish with experts of statistics and of statistics education, at the frontier of research on the interactions between modern science and methods in data science.

Expected tasks include in collaboration with project participants:

Designing and experimenting study and research activities that relate questions in select sciences to statistical methods and theory;
Collect and analyse data related to the experiments;
Publish research results in high-quality international journals;
Participating actively in the local research environment and project activities.

In addition, teaching and dissemination work will occupy approximately 20% of the work time, primarily within courses and projects hosted by the Department of Science Education. The successful candidate will receive training and certification in university pedagogy, to support both teaching here and in later career steps.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for a highly motivated early-career researcher with a strong interest in statistics education and its roles in undergraduate and graduate science.

It is required that applicants:

hold a PhD in statistics education or data science education by January 1, 2027, and a master degree in statistics or a closely related field;
have documented teaching proficiency in university level statistics, preferably including courses for students of other natural sciences;
are able to work independently as well as collaboratively in a research team.

It is considered an advantage if the applicant has experience with:

research on statistics education in relation to one or more fields of natural science;
design-based research in statistics education that involves collaborating with university teachers of both statistics and natural science in a research-intensive environment;
research within the ATD.

Applicants should explain, for all six points above, how their publications and other documentation submitted demonstrate their qualifications in relation to each point.

Danish language proficiency is not required for the position. However, it is expected that applicants can communicate research clearly in spoken and written English and are willing to adapt to an environment where Danish is often used, for instance by attending a basic course in this language.

Postdoctoral Researcher Position at the Center for Volatile Interactions

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Department of Biology
Faculty of SCIENCE

University of Copenhagen

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on local and regional climates. Yet, this impact is highly uncertain due to the lack of reliable estimates for natural emissions and uptake of these reactive volatiles. All organisms produce, and some consume, mixtures of diverse volatile compounds such as VOCs, reactive nitrogen gases (e.g., HONO), and sulfur/halogenated compounds (e.g., DMS and methylhalides). However, biological sources and sinks of volatiles, other than terrestrial plants, remain poorly characterized. In the Center for Volatile Interactions (VOLT), we focus on VOC production, consumption and transformations associated with soil, cryptogams, freshwater, seawater, and glacial ice environments, as well as plant leaf and rhizosphere microbial communities. Our research encompasses experimental (field and laboratory) and modelling work and includes e.g. rate measurements, experiments with stable isotopes, and molecular analyses to assess volatile production/consumption processes and identify the organisms involved. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic, collaborative, and international research environment. VOLT is a Center of Excellence housed in Universitetsparken, Copenhagen, where we have laboratory facilities and state-of-the-art instrumentation for analyses of volatile compounds, molecular analyses of microbial community structure and activity, as well as incubation and climate chamber facilities.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD in biology, chemistry or related fields, to conduct cutting-edge, hypothesis-driven research within the scientific area of VOLT, focusing on process understanding related to VOC exchange in terrestrial ecosystems. You have the opportunity to propose a research plan starting from your own skills and experience, working, for example, with leaf surfaces, tree stems, soil, or lake sediment.

The candidate should have a strong publication record in biological VOC research, biogeochemistry, metabolomics, microbiology, or related fields. Experience in designing and conducting experiments based on hypotheses is required while experience with VOC measurements using mass spectrometric methods, especially PTR-MS or GC-MS (or related instrumentation) is desirable as is experience with isotope-based approaches for studying biological processes. In addition, experience conducting independent research, securing competitive research funding, and contributing to the development of external funding applications will be considered an advantage. Experience in advanced statistical analyses and programming (e.g., R, Python, or related tools) is an asset.

Further information on the Department is linked at https://www1.bio.ku.dk/ and on the recruiting unit at https://volt.ku.dk/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Riikka Rinnan, riikkar@bio.ku.dk.

The position is open from 1/12/2026 or as soon as possible thereafter, and is for 2 years.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of employment

The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.

Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

PhD fellowship in cellular mechanisms underlying severe post-acute disease biology at the Department of Biomedical Sciences

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We are offering a PhD fellowship in cellular mechanisms underlying severe post-acute disease biology in the Desler Group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen commencing on November 1, 2026 or as soon as possible hereafter.

Our group and research
The Desler Group investigates how alterations in cellular metabolism and immune function contribute to chronic disease development. Our research investigates how mitochondrial dysfunction, immunometabolic reprogramming, cellular senescence and persistent inflammatory responses contribute to disease development following viral infections and during aging. We do so by bridging human cohort studies with mechanistic molecular biology by integrating longitudinal clinical datasets, multi-omics analyses and advanced 2D and 3D cellular model systems to investigate the mechanisms underlying post-acute disease trajectories affecting the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal system. Furthermore, the group investigates aging at the molecular level and its link to age-related diseases. Our goal is to unveil novel molecular mechanisms in aging and chronic disease development, discover robust biomarkers for age-related diseases, and identify potential therapeutic targets.

The Desler Group coordinates the Horizon Europe POINT project and collaborates closely with clinical and international partners to translate fundamental discoveries into improved patient care. More information about the group can be found here (https://bmi.ku.dk/english/research-divisions/translational-metabolism/desler-group/)

Project description
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a major blind spot in our knowledge and mechanistic understanding as well as accelerated recognition of post-acute infectious disease biology with emerging evidence demonstrating similar long-term sequelae following influenza and other infectious disease. Though a link between the post-acute phase and chronic disease development has been identified, the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences remain poorly understood.

This interdisciplinary project will be conducted in collaboration with Amager & Hvidovre Hospital (AHH) and aims to identify conserved molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying severe post-acute disease following COVID-19 and influenza by integrating longitudinal patient cohorts with mechanistic experimental in vitro models. By integrating proteomic and metabolomic signatures of patient plasma with functional mechanistic outcomes of advanced cellular models, the project seeks to provide a translational framework for post-acute disease biology to move beyond descriptive profiling toward mechanistic functional validation of overlapping mechanisms of immunometabolism driving disease trajectories.

Your tasks will include the development and optimization of transwell barrier models to investigate the functional consequences of post-acute circulating factors on disease-relevant cellular systems and linking these with multi-omics analysis of circulating plasma factors.

PhD fellowship in Bioenergy witCarbon Capture and Storage

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Section for Forest and Bioresources, invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage. The project is part of the project “BECCS as a tool to achieve net-negative GHG emissions in Europe”, which is financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is 1 January 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is considered a requirement to meet the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement, by compensating hard to abate GHG emissions and by removing already emitted CO2 from the atmosphere. To achieve negative emissions, CDR must be based on non-fossil carbon sources, e.g., carbon in biomass. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) offers a potentially low-cost opportunity for CDR, which is already developed to a comparably high technology readiness level enabling rapid implementation. While the use of biomass for heat and electricity (BE) production is well established in several European countries only few BECCS facilities operate on commercial scale.

Biogenic carbon is a limited resource and considerate use of it is paramount for sustainable development. Furthermore, biomass production is connected to land use, with land use change being a potential driver of GHG emissions and climate change. Deploying BECCS in large regionwide scales consequently raises a number of unanswered questions. Do we achieve most climate benefits with temporary carbon storage in ecosystems managed for storage or with BECCS?

The complex interactions between ecosystems and surrounding technoeconomic systems raise significant scientific questions about the climate effect of BECCS. The scientific challenge is to develop a deeper understanding of the carbon dynamics in time and space of the system-complex comprising, ecosystems, e.g., forests, and the surrounding techno-economic systems (harvest, processing, and consumption of goods and services).

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with strong interdisciplinary qualifications and interests in ecology, forestry and energy systems analysis. Requirements for the candidates are:

Experience and interest in systems thinking and systems analysis.
Good understanding of ecosphere-technosphere interactions with focus on carbon and greenhouse gases.
Experience in techno-economic assessment.
Qualifications in spatial analysis and GIS.
Experience in quantitative, predictive or stochastic modelling, data analysis, and machine learning.
Experience with Python and advanced AI frameworks applied to bioresources.

Our group and research – and what do we offer?
The position is located within the Silviculture, Trees and Bioresources research group. The research group is highly diverse, encompassing expertise in systems analysis, forestry, growth modelling, and ecological restoration. Together, these areas aim to advance the understanding, development, and management of forest ecosystems to support a wide range of ecosystem services, including carbon storage, material and energy provision, groundwater regulation, and biodiversity conservation. The group is a part of the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen.

We are located on Frederiksberg Campus in Copenhagen and offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.

The department is planning to increase its focus on the climate change mitigation potential of forests in upcoming projects. We therefore welcome applications from candidates with a broader interest in the intersection of forests, forest-based climate solutions, biosphere-atmosphere interaction, climate policy, and related themes.

Principal supervisor is Associate Professor Niclas Scott Bentsen, Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, nb@ign.ku.dk, Phone: +45 20206318.

It covers all disciplines of food science from raw materials to processing and consumption, and is organized in four sections, one of which is the section for “Food Microbiology, Gut Health and Fermentation”, where the position is placed.

The postdoc’s duties will focus on computational food data integration, predictive modelling and food quality, as well as teaching. The work is embedded in a 24-month interdisciplinary research programme commencing 1 November 2026 within the Horizon Europe MICROORC project and the RECIPE research consortium, involving academic and industrial partners across Europe. Food systems generate rich but fragmented data such as microbial counts, temperature histories, composition tables, sustainability indicators, sensory descriptions, and recipes. The overall aim of the position is to turn such heterogeneous data into quantitative, decision-ready models. The work comprises two connected activities: (i) probabilistic modelling of microbial spoilage for shelf-life prediction, extending an established Bayesian modelling framework to new products and dynamic storage conditions and integrating it into the MICROORC decision-support architecture; and (ii) development of data infrastructure and models linking recipes with nutritional, sustainability, flavor, and cost information for recipe-level decision support within the RECIPE consortium, in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research.

As several project deliverables fall early in the appointment, the successful candidate is expected to contribute to the ongoing work from the start of the employment. The employment is for 24 months.

Assistant Professor in Plant Immunity

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Plants have a highly complex immune system where recognition of pathogens activates signalling cascades to trigger immune responses. Using the powdery mildew fungus, we have uncovered that membrane trafficking processes in the plant cell are essential for building immune structures at the site of invasion. Meanwhile, pathogens secrete effector proteins that target and counteract these immune responses.

We are looking for a highly dedicated and enthusiastic candidate for a 3-year externally funded position as Assistant Professor (non-tenure track). The available position aims to generate more insight in plant immunity processes to allow us to exploit them in sustainable disease control. We have previously identified powdery mildew fungal effectors interfering with the immunity-associated membrane trafficking and a project has been designed to study this targeting in detail. These studies will uncover how effectors block plant pathways important for pathogenesis, and potentially identify residues in plant proteins essential for this interaction, which can then be targeted for crop improvement.

The assistant professor’s duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication and research-based teaching with associated examination obligations within plant immunity. To a limited extent this may also include performance of other duties.

Assessment of applicants will primarily consider their level of documented, internationally competitive research. The ability to attract external funding will be considered together with outreach qualifications. Teaching qualifications are not mandatory, but documented teaching qualifications and teaching experience will be considered.

The position is open from 1 November 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.

Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.

PhD Fellowship in Simulation-Supervised Machine Learning for Biology

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Department of Computer Science (DIKU) invites applicants for PhD fellowships in Computer Science. This project is a part of the project “Differentiable Realism from AI and Modeling” (DREAM) financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is (expected to be) 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for 3 years.

The project

This PhD project will develop simulation-supervised machine learning methods for biological data where reliable labels are scarce, expensive, or impossible to obtain. The aim is to train models on synthetic data generated by biophysical simulations by developing simulations that can be automatically tuned to be realistic enough that the trained models generalize to real experimental data.

The project will combine differentiable programming, biophysical simulation, differentiable rendering or signal generation, and machine-learning architectures for reducing the simulation-to-reality gap. A central challenge is to automatically tune simulations so that synthetic datasets match the variability, noise, and structure of real, unlabelled biological datasets. This will enable machine-learning models to learn from perfect synthetic ground truth rather than from limited human annotations.

Possible methodological directions include differentiable simulations in JAX or PyTorch, neural or physics-based rendering, generative distribution matching, and domain adaptation. The exact direction of the PhD project will be defined in dialogue with the student and will depend partly on their interests and background. One application area is chromatin organization, where simulations of DNA or chromatin structure could support machine-learning analysis of microscopy data, including segmentation, loop quantification, nucleosome spacing, or structural inference.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong background in computer science, machine learning, scientific computing, physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field.

Relevant experience may include one or more of the following:

machine learning, deep learning, or generative modelling
computer vision or biological image analysis
differentiable programming, for example in JAX or PyTorch
numerical simulation, physics-based modelling, or scientific computing
domain adaptation, synthetic data generation, or simulation-to-reality methods
microscopy data, biophysical systems, or computational biology.

Our section

The project will be hosted by the IMAGE section, which performs research in machine learning, computer vision, and simulation. The section is a part of the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

PhD supervisors are Julius B. Kirkegaard. Email: juki@di.ku.dk and Jon Sporring Email: sporring@di.ku.dk

Qualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. [relevant educations]. For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.

Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.

Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.

PhD Scholarship in Middle Eastern Archaeology (stylistic analysis) at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The position is offered within the framework of the Networks Before Agriculture: Social Interaction in Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic Jordan project and will focus on the technological and typological analysis of Levantine Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic chipped stone artefacts. The project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and led by Professor Tobias Richter.

Introduction
The PhD programme is a study programme which aims at training PhD Fellows at an international level to undertake research, development, knowledge dissemination and teaching assignments. The main emphasis is on PhD students organising and conducting their own research project (under supervision). The programme includes the drafting of a PhD thesis which the student must defend at a public defence. The standard duration of the PhD programme is three years of full-time studies, which equals 180 ECTS.

A PhD degree opens a range of career opportunities in academia and elsewhere. As well as writing a thesis, PhD students work in active research environments in Denmark and abroad. They contribute to the academic environment, take research training courses, and convey the results of their research in teaching, at academic conferences and to the general public.

The PhD Fellow will work in the interdisciplinary Ancient Culture Studies section, which brings together the fields of Assyriology, Middle Eastern Archaeology, Egyptology, and Mesoamerican Studies (https://ccrs.ku.dk/research/ancientcultures/). The section focuses on the world’s earliest complex societies in the Middle East and Mesoamerica and the lasting legacies of their ideas. Our research and teaching span combines ancient languages and archaeology to understand some of the most significant transformations in our collective past, including the rise of villages and cities, the emergence of writing and religion, and the development of technology, craftsmanship, political power, and social inequality. Our researchers study both ancient texts and material culture, as well as the context of these past legacies in the present.

The Project
The Networks Before Agriculture: Social Interaction in Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic Jordan project focuses on reconstructing the emergence and development of socio-material networks during the Final Pleistocene and Early Holocene in the Levant and how such networks contributed to the spread of the Neolithic way of life. The project applies an innovative combination of geological, material culture and computer-based methods to reconstruct how people exchanged raw materials and shared knowledge during the transition from foraging to farming in southwest Asia. Drawing on materials from the Qa’ Shubayqa in eastern Jordan the project will test different models of prehistoric social interaction and will provide new insights into how social networks arose and developed.

The PhD fellow will conduct technological and typological analysis of chipped stone artefacts from Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic sites in the Qa’ Shubayqa using technological attribute and geometric morphometric shape analysis to trace stylistic and cultural relations between the inhabitants of Shubayqa and other sites in the wider Levant. The role will involve conducting primary data collection and analysis, fieldwork in Jordan, teaching in the department, presenting at scientific meetings, and co-organizing an international workshop. PhD fellows must also complete a short secondment at another research institution as part of their degree program.

This role will suit applicants who want to deepen their knowledge and experience in lithic analysis, and especially the computerized analysis of artefact shapes. Applicants must hold a relevant MA degree in Middle/Near Eastern or Prehistoric archaeology, or similar. Knowledge of and experience in techno-typological analysis of chipped stone, preferably with a focus on the Epipalaeolithic and/or Neolithic of the Levant, will be essential. Applicants must be able to participate in fieldwork in Jordan and have well-developed writing and research skills, and be able to demonstrate research potential, for example through a strong Master's thesis, publications, or conference presentations.

Applicants should either be comfortable working with, or willing to develop skills in statistical and comparative analysis of technological and artefact shape data. Prior experience with relevant software for quantitative or geometric morphometric analysis (e.g. R, Python, or dedicated shape-analysis packages such as MorphoJ or geomorph) is an advantage, but training will be provided. Experience with 3D scanning, digitization, or other artefact recording techniques will also be an advantage. As the project draws on geological, material culture, and computational approaches, the successful candidate should be able to demonstrate an ability to work both independently and collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to master’s level related to the subject area of the project, e.g. Middle/Near Eastern Archaeology, Prehistoric Archaeology, or similar.

PhD Scholarship in Middle Eastern Archaeology (sourcing) at the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Section for Ancient Culture Studies at Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies invites applications for a three-year PhD scholarship starting from 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is offered within the framework of the Networks Before Agriculture: Social Interaction in Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic Jordan project and will focus on the geological sourcing of inorganic raw materials. The project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and led by Professor Tobias Richter.

The PhD Fellow will work in the interdisciplinary Ancient Culture Studies section, which consists of Assyriology, Middle Eastern Archaeology, Egyptology, and Mesoamerican Studies (https://ccrs.ku.dk/research/ancientcultures/).

The PhD fellow will conduct thin-section optical analysis, XRD, and SEM/EDX analysis of inorganic raw materials from Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic sites in the Qa’ Shubayqa to trace sources of raw materials in the region. The role will involve conducting primary data collection and analysis using these methods, fieldwork in Jordan, teaching in the department, presenting at scientific meetings, and co-organizing an international workshop. The PhD fellow will collaborate with colleagues at the Globe Institute and the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen, and the Department of Geology at the University of Jordan. All PhD fellows must complete a short secondment at another research institution as part of their degree program.

This role will suit applicants with a prior degree in geology who intend to transition into geoarchaeology or archaeologists who want to develop a specialism in geoarchaeological methods. Applicants should have relevant fieldwork experience and must be able to participate in fieldwork in Jordan. In addition, they should have well-developed writing and research skills, and be able to demonstrate research potential, for example through a strong Master's thesis, publications, or conference presentations. Prior knowledge and experience with applying geological methods for inorganic material characterization and in data analysis and visualization will be an advantage, as will experience with sample preparation techniques such as thin-sectioning or other laboratory-based mineral identification methods. Proficiency in relevant software for quantitative and spatial data analysis (e.g. R, Python, or GIS) is desirable. As the project draws on geological, material culture, and computational approaches, the successful candidate should be able to demonstrate an ability to work both independently and collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team. Familiarity with the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic periods of western Asia, in particular the Levant, will also be useful, but is not essential.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to master’s level related to the subject area of the project, e.g. Middle/Near Eastern Archaeology, Prehistoric Archaeology, Geoarchaeology, Geology, or similar. If you have completed your education in Denmark, you must have a master’s degree covered by the collective agreement for academics in the state sector.

If you have completed your education outside of Denmark, we will obtain an assessment of your education from the Danish Research Agency.

Applicants must possess skills in written and spoken academic English at a high level. If deemed necessary, the department may request that applicants document their English skills.

Postdoctoral fellowship in medical humanities and post-conflict studies

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Centre for Culture and the Mind invites applications for one postdoctoral fellowship, starting no later than 1 April 2027. The fellowship will last 24 months.

The position is funded by the DNRF Centre of Excellence, Centre for Culture and the Mind (CULTMIND).

The successful candidate will work closely with the Centre leader Ana Antic and the Centre’s trauma strand. The candidate will join a dynamic international and interdisciplinary research team, based at the Centre.

Introduction
The Centre for Culture and the Mind explores the puzzling relationship between cultural differences and the human psyche from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: historical, anthropological, psychiatric, literary and psychological. It zooms in on the core questions about the universality or otherwise of the human mind, which remain as difficult to answer today as they were a century ago.

The Centre proposes that the issue of culture-mind relationship lays at the core of many social, political and medical debates: within cross-cultural psychiatry/psychotherapy, in trauma studies, and in migration and refugee studies. It explores how the human mind and common humanity have been imagined in different cultural, sociopolitical and disciplinary contexts, examining the assumptions and forces which shaped such definitions. By analyzing how different cross-cultural models of the psyche were formulated and critiqued, the Centre’s interdisciplinary team aims to develop a new framework for understanding cross-cultural interventions and their politics, and to arrive at a more nuanced model of interaction between socio-cultural contexts and ideas of the psyche.

The Centre consists of four interrelated thematic strands: cross-cultural research in human sciences; cross-cultural notions of trauma and resilience; cross-cultural therapeutics and creative mind; and cross-cultural encounters and population movements (migration).

It explores how the human mind and common humanity have been imagined in different cultural, sociopolitical and disciplinary contexts, examining the assumptions and forces which shaped such definitions. By analyzing how different cross-cultural models of the psyche were formulated and critiqued, the Centre’s interdisciplinary team aims to develop a new framework for understanding cross-cultural interventions, which pushes beyond the binary of universalism and cultural relativism in order to arrive at a more nuanced model of interaction between socio-cultural contexts and ideas of the psyche.

Qualification requirements
The postdoctoral fellow will be a core member of the Centre’s thematic strand on cross-cultural trauma studies. This strand, informed by multiple disciplines such as anthropology, history, literature and clinical practice, develops a transcultural and comparative framework for understanding varied conceptualizations of human suffering and ‘resilience,’ and for engaging with the ‘pain of others’. It interrogates the universalist paradigm of trauma and explores different ways in which languages of distress have been made intelligible across cultural boundaries. It also explores the complex processes of ‘psychiatrization’ of suffering, their impact in different cultural and political settings, and their capacity to interact with or direct attention away from political, social and economic factors. Finally, the strand analyses the rich interplay between psychiatric conceptualizations of trauma and local (non-medical, culturally and politically specific) vocabularies of psychological pain.

The post-doctoral project focuses on the wars of Yugoslav succession and their aftermath and will explore how local idioms of pain and suffering in post-conflict societies outside the Western world have interacted with both humanitarian psychiatric initiatives and local memory politics. It will rely on medical humanities analysis (anthropological, historical, literary) to understand how psychological pain and loss have been communicated in survivor narratives, and whether the notions of psychological trauma or PTSD played a role in the survivors’ perceptions of the effects of extreme violence on individuals and communities. In parallel, the project will explore mental health initiatives which have been implemented in response to the conflict in former Yugoslavia in order to understand how their discourses of psychological traumatization might have affected the memory, language and interpretations of the wars in the local communities. Candidates are expected to have research background and experience in humanities disciplines (anthropology, history, literature), as well as regional and linguistic expertise in former Yugoslavia.

The successful candidate is expected to work both independently and in collaboration with the Centre’s research team.

Qualification
Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to PhD level related to the subject area of the project.

Within the Centre’s research team, the candidate will take part in broader intellectual and methodological discussions around the project’s goals and general directions. Experience with collaborative and interdisciplinary work will be an asset.

Applicants must possess skills in written and spoken academic English at a high level. If deemed necessary, the department may request that applicants document their English skills.

Application
All applications must be submitted online, in PDF or Microsoft Word format, via the link “Apply now” at the bottom of the page.

The application must include:

Application letter/cover letter (max 1 page).
Curriculum vitae (with applicant’s e-mail & telephone number).
Documentation of qualifications (examination certificates/PhD diploma, etc.).
Complete and numbered list of publications. The enclosed publications must be marked with *.

Postdoc in an EU project at Section for Health Services Research

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We are looking for a highly motivated, experienced and dynamic postdoc for a position (23,5 months) in an EU funded, international project aiming at improving the care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), to commence January 16th, 2027 or as soon as possible after this date.

Information on the department can be found at: https://publichealth.ku.dk/about-the-department/hsr/

Our research
The EU PAL-COPD project is a multidisciplinary, interprofessional, international and intersectoral project aiming at evaluating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the ICLEAR-EU intervention for people with advanced COPD in different healthcare systems in Europe. ICLEAR-EU is a person-centred and family-centred non-pharmacological service intervention in which respiratory teams in the hospital collaborate with interdisciplinary palliative care teams and with primary care to promote shared decision-making and advance care planning, improve symptom treatment and comfort care, and prevent re-hospitalization after an exacerbation. ICLEAR-EU is based on an existing intervention developed and pilot tested in the UK.

In EU PAL-COPD, the effectiveness of ICLEAR-EU will be assessed with a stepped wedge cluster RCT in 1,224 people with advanced COPD in 18 hospitals across six European countries. It is hence the first large-scale international trial on systematic integration of palliative care in respiratory care for people with advanced COPD. Cost-effectiveness, robust mixed methods, subgroup analyses and in-depth process and implementation evaluations are also included. EU PAL-COPD will improve the well-being and empowerment of people with COPD and their families and advance the state of the art by providing an innovative service model to the complex palliative and end-of-life care needs. User and stakeholder involvement is crucial throughout the project. The project started in 2024 and will last to the end of 2028. After careful preparations, recruitment of patients and caregivers at three Danish hospitals started Autumn 2025.

You will be collaborating closely with Mogens Grønvold, who is responsible for the Danish part of the EU PAL-COPD study and work package co-leader responsible for protocol writing and outcomes assessment in the project. He also takes part in other EU-funded research projects related to palliative care and leads several Danish projects in this field, including some related to the Danish Palliative Care Database. You will also collaborate with researchers at the Palliative Care Research Unit at Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital.

Your job
Your tasks will be related to all aspects of the project but mainly to the conduct of the Danish part of the study, which involves three hospitals and about 200 patients. You will be involved in coordinating and securing the data collection and in data analysis, making presentations, article writing, etc. In the project, you will be in close contact with student assistants working for the project in the section, the staff at the Danish hospitals, and members of the large, international consortium. There will be meetings in Denmark and elsewhere. Finally, you will be involved in related teaching and other activities.

Information about the project can be found here: https://eupal-copd.eu/

Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:

Essential experience and skills:

You have a PhD in health-related research, preferably in a related topic
You are experienced in conducting, analyzing and reporting relevant research
You have an active interest in relevant scientific methods
Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams
Excellent English skills written and spoken

Desirable experience and skills:

Experience with patient-reported outcomes methods and evaluation of complex interventions
Experience from international research collaboration

Place of employment

The place of employment is at the Section for Health Services Research at Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen and possibly also the Palliative Care Research Unit at Bispebjerg Hospital. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic, cross-disciplinary and international research environment.

Terms of employment
The average weekly working hours are 37 hours per week.

This is a fixed-term position with a start date of 16 January 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment will run until 31 December 2028.

The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.

PhD fellowship in trained immunity in zebrafish

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Institute of Veterinary and Animal Sciences are offering a PhD fellowship in immunology using zebrafish as a model commencing 1 January 2027 or after agreement.

The project is part of the research project Decoding innate immune signatures driving trained and adaptive immunity in fish using a high-resolution in vivo and in vitro zebrafish model, which is financed by the Independent Research Foundation Denmark.

The project

The project investigates how the innate immune system of fish contributes to protection against infectious diseases. While fish have traditionally been considered to rely primarily on innate immunity, recent evidence suggests that they can also develop trained immunity – a form of innate immune memory that can provide enhanced protection following subsequent infections.

Using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model, the project will investigate how neutrophils and macrophages respond to different infectious stimuli and how these responses shape both trained and adaptive immunity. We will among other things work with the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and the bacterium Vibrio anguillarum, using complementary in vivo and in vitro approaches, live imaging and molecular analyses.

The overall aim is to identify innate immune signatures and biomarkers that can predict the development of long-lasting protective immune responses. The project will contribute to a better understanding of trained immunity in fish and may ultimately support the development of improved and more targeted vaccination strategies for sustainable aquaculture.

The specific tasks will include immunization of larval and adult zebrafish using microinjection, infectious disease challenges, analysis of immune-relevant gene expression, in vivo imaging, isolation of innate immune cells for in vitro analyses, and stimulation of cells with defined antigens followed by functional and molecular analyses. The project will involve a combination of established and emerging techniques, and there will be room to develop new approaches and pursue ideas that arise during the project. Your ideas and suggestions for alternative or complementary techniques are very welcome. Additionally, you will engage in the diverse teaching and research activities conducted by the Exfimo group.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a background in immunology, infection biology or molecular biology. Applicants with experience in zebrafish work, advanced microscopy (in vivo imaging, confocal microscopy), host–pathogen interactions, innate immunity, vaccination, gene expression analysis, or cell-based assays are particularly encouraged to apply.

Experience with microinjection, in vivo imaging, molecular techniques, isolation and analysis of immune cells, quantitative data analysis or bioinformatics is an advantage, but not a requirement. We are looking for a curious and enthusiastic researcher who is eager to learn new techniques, work across experimental approaches, and develop their own ideas within the project.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The PhD student will join the Experimental Fish Models (Exfimo) research group at the University of Copenhagen. Exfimo is an interdisciplinary research group focusing on fish health, immunity and disease, with the overall aim of contributing to sustainable aquaculture through improved understanding of host–pathogen interactions and fish immune responses.

Our research combines zebrafish and aquaculture-relevant fish models with advanced experimental approaches, including in vivo imaging, molecular biology, gene expression analysis, immunological assays and experimental infection models. The group provides access to a well-established zebrafish facility, including wild-type and transgenic reporter lines for visualizing immune cell behaviour in vivo.

As a PhD student, you will become an integrated member of an international and collaborative research environment and will have the opportunity to develop expertise in a broad range of experimental techniques. You will work closely with the PI and other researchers in the group, while also having considerable freedom to develop your own scientific ideas and approaches. The project offers a strong combination of fundamental immunology and applied fish health research, with potential relevance for the development of improved vaccination and disease prevention strategies in aquaculture.

The University of Copenhagen provides a stimulating international research environment with opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and participation in national and international networks, conferences and training activities.

Computational Peptide Design - Postdoc in de novo design of brain-targeting peptides, University of Copenhagen

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We are seeking a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher with a passion for computational peptide design to join an interdisciplinary project developing next-generation brain-targeted therapeutics for ischemic stroke. The successful candidate will use de novo design (including in-house developed methods), molecular modelling and omics-derived data to develop peptide shuttles capable of transporting therapeutic cargo across the blood–brain barrier. The position offers an opportunity to work at the interface of computational drug design, peptide chemistry, drug delivery and neuroscience.

Principal supervisor
Associate Professor Albert J. Kooistra, Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology
E-mail (preferred): albert.kooistra@sund.ku.dk, phone: +45 35 32 83 05

Project leader

Associate Professor Mie Kristensen, Department of Pharmacy
E-mail (preferred): mie.kristensen@sund.ku.dk, phone: +45 35 33 60 63

Start: 1 January 2027

Duration: 2 years as a postdoctoral researcher

Our group and research

The project is led by Mie Kristensen, and the computational postdoctoral researcher will be integrated into the Data Science for Drug Design (DSDD) research group, led by Albert J. Kooistra. The DSDD group develops and applies data-driven technologies for drug discovery and network medicine, with expertise in structural bioinformatics, cheminformatics, computer-aided drug design, research software and database development, and machine learning. The group’s research combines the systematic curation of structural, molecular and cellular data, including the development of widely used resources such as KLIFS, with the modelling of protein interactions and signalling networks. These insights are used together with knowledge-driven and machine-learning approaches to design molecules that modulate cellular signalling.

Project description

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide. Although current clinical interventions can restore blood flow to the brain, effective treatments that protect brain cells from stroke-induced damage remain unavailable. A major obstacle is the blood–brain barrier, which maintains the brain’s physiological environment but prevents most therapeutic compounds from reaching the brain at clinically relevant concentrations.

The project “Integrating omics and computational design for next generation brain-targeted stroke therapeutics”, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, aims to overcome this challenge by developing peptide-based transport molecules that can deliver neuroprotective therapeutics across the blood–brain barrier.

By integrating large-scale biological data with advanced computational modelling and de novo peptide design, the project will:

Identify and design novel blood–brain barrier-specific peptide shuttles.
Optimise the peptides for target engagement, transport efficiency, stability and therapeutic applicability.
Develop improved strategies for peptide synthesis and functionalisation.
Evaluate the resulting candidates in cell-based blood–brain barrier models and preclinical models of ischemic stroke.

The postdoctoral researcher will play a central role in the computational design component of the project. This will include optimizing, further development, and application of workflows for peptide sequence generation, structural modelling, property prediction and candidate prioritisation. The researcher will work closely with experimental scientists in which computational predictions guide peptide synthesis and biological evaluation, and experimental results are used to improve subsequent designs.

The project brings together expertise in drug delivery, peptide chemistry, computational drug design and neuroscience. It is led by Associate Professor Mie Kristensen in collaboration with Associate Professors Albert Kooistra and Henrik Franzyk at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen, and Professor Anna-Sophia Wahl at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The long-term objective is to establish new strategies for delivering protective therapeutics to the brain, thereby reducing stroke-related brain damage and improving patient recovery. The approaches and technologies developed through the project may also support the development of treatments for other neurological diseases in which delivery across the blood–brain barrier remains a major challenge.

Profile

We are looking for a computational designer who enjoys working at the interface of deep learning, molecular modelling, data science and experimental drug discovery. You should be comfortable handling biological data at scale, developing computational design workflows, and applying structure- and sequence-based methods to generate and prioritise novel peptides.

You will be expected to work closely with experimental scientists and be motivated by creating truly translatable computational designs that are then experimentally validated. The ideal candidate combines strong computational skills with an interest in peptide therapeutics, structural bioinformatics, and molecular recognition and transport across the blood–brain barrier.

Vi søger dygtige projektøkonomer, som vil være med til at sikre en professionel og sammenhængende økonomisk understøttelse af forskningen på Københavns Universitet. Som projektøkonom får du en vigtig rolle i samarbejdet med forskerne og med kolleger på tværs af administrationen, og du bidrager til, at universitetets eksternt finansierede forskningsprojekter har et solidt økonomisk fundament.

Stillingerne er placeret i Campusadministration Søndre, som understøtter Det Humanistiske Fakultet, Det Juridiske Fakultet, Det Teologiske Fakultet og Det Samfundsvidenskabelige Fakultet. Campusadministration Søndre er en del af Københavns Universitets fælles universitetsadministration, som består af otte koncernenheder og tre campusadministrationer.

Om stillingerne som projektøkonom

Forskerne på Københavns Universitet gennemfører en lang række forskningsprojekter, som er finansieret af blandt andet private og offentlige fonde samt EU. Som projektøkonom har du ansvar for den økonomiske opfølgning og forvaltning af eksternt finansierede forskningsprojekter for et eller flere institutter, og du fungerer som en tæt sparringspartner for forskerne.

Du følger projekterne gennem hele deres levetid – fra budgettering i forbindelse med ansøgningen til den løbende økonomistyring, afrapportering og det afsluttende regnskab. Det kræver, at du både kan bevare overblikket over din egen projektportefølje og sætte dig ind i de regler og vilkår, der gælder for det enkelte projekt.

Dine opgaver vil blandt andet være at:

skabe overblik over projekterne i din portefølje og sikre, at deadlines overholdes
kvalitetssikre forskernes projektbudgetter
oprette og vedligeholde projekter
udarbejde projektregnskaber
sikre løbende økonomisk afrapportering i overensstemmelse med bevillingsgivers regler
rådgive forskerne om økonomien i det enkelte projekt
holde dig ajour med bevillingsgivernes regler og processer.

Du trives i rollen som forskerens økonomiske sparringspartner og naturlige indgang til spørgsmål om projektøkonomi. Den daglige kontakt foregår både på dansk og engelsk og gennem e-mail, Teams og personlige møder.

Forskningsprojekterne varierer i både størrelse og kompleksitet. Derfor har vi muligheder både for dig, der allerede har erfaring med projektøkonomi, og for dig, der er nyuddannet og har lyst til at udvikle dig inden for området.

Om dig

Du har en relevant uddannelsesbaggrund inden for økonomi eller tilsvarende kompetencer. Du kan være erfaren eller nyuddannet og i starten af din karriere.

Som person forventer vi, at du:

stiller krav til din egen opgavevaretagelse og tager selvstændigt initiativ
arbejder struktureret og analytisk
trives med at samarbejde i teams og har en god forståelse for kvalitet i opgaveløsningen
tager ansvar og bidrager til samarbejdet og videndeling
er serviceminded og hjælpsom over for dem vi samarbejder med såvel som over for kollegaer

Dine arbejdsdage vil være fordelt mellem arbejde på vores kontor på Søndre Campus på Amager og arbejdsdage på instituttet. Der er desuden mulighed for en ugentlig hjemmearbejdsdag.

På Københavns Universitet benytter vi statens økonomisystemer (LDV, RejsUd, SDI, Navision Stat), og kendskab til disse vil være et plus, men er ikke et krav.

Om os

Københavns Universitet er med 10.000 medarbejdere, 36.000 studerende og en omsætning på ca. 12 mia. kr. et af Europas største universiteter. Vores indtægter kommer fra finanslovsbevillinger og fra eksterne fonde.

Økonomiområdet i Campusadministration Søndre består af 28 medarbejdere, der er organiseret i to sektioner. Økonomi Søndre vægter kollegialt sammenhold og en uformel omgangstone. Vi har et højt fagligt niveau og forstår at bruge hinandens faglige og personlige styrker i vores opgaveløsning. Vi lægger stor vægt på kompetenceudvikling og prioriterer hele tiden at dygtiggøre os inden for vores felt. Vi har et tæt samarbejde med institutter og fakulteter samt med vores administrative kollegaer på både koncernniveau og i de to andre campusadministrationer. Du vil blive del af en afdeling med engagerede kollegaer.

Ansøgning mv.

Stillingerne er til besættelse pr. 1. november 2026 eller snarest derefter. Ansættelse er med en ugentlig arbejdstid på gennemsnitligt 37 timer.

Ansættelsen sker i henhold til gældende Fællesoverenskomst mellem Finansministeriet og Offentligt Ansattes Organisationer - Det Statslige Område (OAO-S) og organisationsaftale for kontorfunktionærer, laboranter og IT-medarbejdere (HK Stat) med indplacering i løngruppe 3.2 eller efter gældende overenskomst mellem Finansministeriet og akademikere i staten (AC-overenskomsten) med indplacering som fuldmægtig eller specialkonsulent.

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

En stilling som radiograf er ledig på Retspatologisk Afdeling, Retsmedicinsk Institut, Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige Fakultet, Københavns Universitet.

Om afdelingen

Retspatologisk Afdeling er en del af Retsmedicinsk Institut på Københavns Universitet. Vi udfører myndighedsbetjening for politikredse øst for Storebælt, domstole og andre offentlige instanser, herunder obduktioner og kliniske retsmedicinske undersøgelser (personundersøgelser af levende) af både børn og voksne.

Da det rekvirerede arbejde på afdelingen, er akkrediteret i henhold til DANAK standarden ISO 17020 er det væsentligt, at ansøgere er detaljeorienterede og kan demonstrere præcision, pålidelighed og en høj grad af uvildighed i arbejdet. Vi er 70 medarbejdere på Retspatologisk Afdeling, som omfatter læger, sygeplejersker, tandlæger, bioanalytikere, forskere, retsmedicinske teknikere, akademiske medarbejdere, antropologer og lægesekretærer. Læs mere om instituttet på www.retsmedicin.ku.dk

Arbejdets karakter indebærer høje følelsesmæssige krav, som kan give anledning til psykisk belastning, der er derfor obligatorisk supervision ved ekstern psykolog. Derudover er der mulighed for debriefing og individuelle samtaler ligeledes ved ekstern psykolog.

Vi tilbyder et arbejde, hvor du får gode muligheder for at udvikle din faglighed inden for post-mortem billedanalyse samt for at bidrage til uddannelse, forskning og udviklingsprojekter.

Stillingen er tilknyttet arbejdet i Team for billeddannelse og retsantropologi.

Vi foretager cirka 700 retslægelige obduktioner om året, og i størstedelen af tilfældene anvendes post-mortem CT (PMCT). I arbejdet med obduktioner er PMCT i fokus, men også post-mortem MR (PMMR) og anden billedanalyse, fx røntgen, har betydning.

Afdelingen har flere forskelligartede forskningsprojekter på alle niveauer inden for PMCT og PMMR med avanceret billeddiagnostik, 3D-visualisering og retsantropologi. Projekterne kan desuden udføres i samarbejde med eksterne partnere.

Arbejder struktureret, er god til at skabe overblik, organisere og følge systematisk op
Tager ejerskab og er garant for at de administrative processer kommer i mål

Besidder kompetencer indenfor datavisualisering i interaktive formater, fx Shiny, Streamlit, Dash eller lignende.
Har erfaring med registerdata og/eller KU’s egne datasystemer.

Vi tilbyder

Vi tilbyder en spændende og udfordrende stilling med alsidige arbejdsopgaver, et højt fagligt niveau og gode muligheder for personlig og faglig udvikling. Du kan også forvente en hverdag blandt iderige kolleger i en organisation med højt til loftet og stærke faglige identiteter.

Kontoret er en del af Rektoratets Stab, der har til huse i smukke omgivelser ved Frue Plads i hjertet af København og samarbejder med ledere og medarbejdere på hele universitetet. Staben har en bred opgaveportefølje, der strækker sig fra understøttelse af universitets bestyrelse og øverste ledelse til strategisk udvikling af universitetet, policyudvikling, strategisk styring og juridisk sagsbehandling.

Arbejdet foregår i et uformelt arbejdsmiljø præget af godt humør og travle perioder. Vi lægger stor vægt på fælles ansvar for den samlede opgaveportefølje og på hjælpsomhed og sparring på tværs af Rektoratets Stab.

Postdoc in Democratic Innovations and Moralizing Politic

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), invites candidates for a postdoctoral position in Democratic Innovations and Moralizing Politics from 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position is a full-time fixed-term position for 3 years.

The successful candidate will be part of the research project “Moralizing Politics: The Practice of Judging Others” (MoPo), funded by the European Research Council and led by Professor Christian Rostbøll.

Employment can be offered as postdoc or an assistant professorship. The offer depends on the candidate's profile. The position is fixed term for a minimum of 3 years but may be extended to 4 years. The duration of the employment offered depends on the candidate's profile in relation to the project and the teaching requirements at the department.

You can read an abstract of the MoPo project here. For the full project description, please send an email to MoPo@ifs.ku.dk

Introduction
MoPo investigates the role of moral judgment in contemporary politics, where citizens increasingly judge one another as good or bad people. It seeks to understand when the human propensity to judge others is pernicious versus beneficial for democracy and to answer how we can transform it into a resource that strengthens democracy. MoPo breaks new ground by comprehensively rethinking the idea of moralizing politics, creatively integrating philosophical analysis and research into practices of moral judgment in different areas and arenas, and by theorizing how practices of judging others can be channeled into improving (rather than undermining) democracy.

Job content
This postdoc position will concentrate on one of the work packages of the MoPo project: “WP4: What To do About Moralizing Politics: Policy and Institutions.” The research objective is to develop recommendations for democratic reform that can channel and transform moralizing politics and judgment in ways that deepen and strengthen, rather than threaten, democracy. WP4 asks which reforms are necessary to realize the principles of an ideal democratic process and deliberative system as laid out in WP3 of the MoPo project, to which the postdoc will also contribute. Most of the literature on moralizing politics and affective polarization takes existing institutions as a given and asks, given these institutions, what are the democratic consequences of moralizing politics. But perhaps the democratic problem is not moralizing politics but that existing institutions are not equipped to manage it in a conducive manner. MoPo assumes not only that politics will always be moralizing to some extent but also that if judging others takes the right form and has the right targets, this might also be conducive for deepening democracy, that is, making democracy more egalitarian, respectful, and inclusive, as well as better serving its epistemic function. However, rather than merely setting up abstract principles and telling people how they ought to regard and treat each other, WP4 explores democratic reforms that might help transform the practices of judging each other in ways that are consistent with and promote democratic norms.

The selected candidate will collaborate with the other team members to develop a normative theory concerning the proper place and scope of morally judging others in democratic politics.

Funding is available for conferences and field research, research visits, such that the candidate can develop their international network and research expertise.

Duties and Qualifications
The chosen candidate will be responsible for:

Individual research and writing on the topic of democratic innovations and moralizing politics;
Co-authoring publications with team members;
Participating in workshops, conferences, and other scholarly activities;
Teaching (if agreed to by both parties)

We are seeking to recruit a candidate with the following qualifications:

A PhD degree in political science, practical/political philosophy, or a related field with a strong emphasis on political theory (required);
A demonstrated aptitude for doing research in normative political theory (required);
An interest in democratic innovations and in connecting political theory and political science (desired);
A demonstrated aptitude for research (required);
Proven skills in academic writing (required);
A willingness to take on independent responsibilities and work collaboratively as part of a team (required).

Introduktion
Ph.d.-studiet er en forskeruddannelse, der på højeste internationale niveau kvalificerer den ph.d.-studerende til selvstændigt at varetage forsknings-, formidlings- og undervisningsopgaver. Hovedvægten i ph.d.-uddannelsen ligger på tilrettelæggelse og gennemførsel af et forskningsprojekt under vejledning. Ph.d.-uddannelsen afsluttes med indlevering af en ph.d.-afhandling, der forsvares ved et offentligt forsvar. Uddannelsen er normeret til 180 ECTS-point, hvilket svarer til tre års fuldtidsstudie.

Ph.d.-studiet åbner for mange karrieremuligheder både inden for og uden for universitetsverdenen. Ud over at skrive en afhandling tilknyttes den ph.d.-studerende aktive forskningsmiljøer lokalt og internationalt. Ph.d.-studerende bidrager til det akademiske fagmiljø, gennemfører forskeruddannelseskurser, og formidler deres forskning i undervisning, ved akademiske konferencer og til den brede offentlighed.

Kvalifikationskrav
Hvis du har taget din uddannelse i Danmark, er det et krav for at blive ansat, at du har en kandidatgrad, der er omfattet af AC-overenskomsten, og at du ved en bedømmelse bliver vurderet fagligt kvalificeret til stillingen.

Hvis du har taget din uddannelse uden for Danmark, er det et krav for at blive ansat, at du enten har en uddannelse, der er på niveau med og sammenlignelig med en dansk kandidatgrad og ved en bedømmelse bliver vurderet fagligt kvalificeret til stillingen, eller at du har en uddannelse, der som minimum er på niveau med og sammenlignelig med en dansk bachelorgrad og ved en faglig bedømmelse vurderes at have kompetencer på kandidatniveau.

Hvis din uddannelse er taget uden for Danmark, indhenter vi en vurdering af din uddannelses sammenlignelighed med de danske uddannelser ved Uddannelses- og Forskningsstyrelsen.

Du skal beherske akademisk engelsk og dansk/skandinavisk på højt niveau i skrift og tale, og være i stand til at gennemføre mundtlige interviews med dansktalende deltagere. Instituttet kan anmode dig om at dokumentere dine engelske og danske/skandinaviske sprogkundskaber, hvis det skønnes nødvendigt.

Dette ph.d.-projekt gennemføres som en del af et større tværfagligt forskningsprojekt om antisemitisme i Danmark, nærmere bestemt delprojektet:

Kortlægning af antisemitiske holdninger i Danmark: Et komparativt og dybdegående studie af majoritetsbefolkningen og den muslimske minoritetsbefolkning.

Delprojektet undersøger antisemitiske holdninger i Danmark gennem et mixed methods-design, der kombinerer en omfattende spørgeskemaundersøgelse med kvalitative interviews. Formålet er at sammenligne udbredelsen og karakteren af antisemitiske forestillinger i to grupper: et repræsentativt udsnit af den voksne danske befolkning samt indvandrere og efterkommere fra ti muslimsk dominerede lande, der har boet mindst fem år i Danmark.

Spørgeskemaundersøgelsen udvikles i samarbejde mellem ph.d.-stipendiaten og projektgruppen. Den forventes at tage udgangspunkt i veletablerede måleinstrumenter og kan desuden inddrage avancerede metoder (f.eks. listeeksperimenter eller indirekte spørgeteknikker) for at håndtere udfordringer som social ønskværdighedsbias. Derudover vil der blive anvendt relevante stikprøvestrategier for at sikre en tilstrækkelig repræsentation af de undersøgte delgrupper.

Projektet omfatter desuden en kvalitativ del, der forventes at bestå af en række dybdegående interviews med deltagere fra de udvalgte grupper. Formålet er at undersøge politiske fortolkninger, trosforestillinger og hverdagsoplevelser. Det konkrete design, omfang og samspillet mellem de kvalitative og kvantitative metoder vil blive videreudviklet som en del af ph.d.-projektet.

Jobindhold
Ph.d.-stipendiaten skal bidrage til udviklingen og gennemførelsen af spørgeskemaundersøgelsen, gennemføre kvalitative interviews samt analysere både kvantitative og kvalitative data. Projektet forudsætter et indgående arbejde med relevant teoretisk og empirisk litteratur om antisemitisme, religion samt relationer mellem majoritets- og minoritetsbefolkninger.

Projektbeskrivelser skal dokumentere kendskab til den relevante forskning, præsentere en klar teoretisk ramme og overbevisende redegøre for den metodiske og praktiske gennemførlighed af det foreslåede ph.d.-projekt.

PhD fellowship in Infrastructures of Care for the Green Transition

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

PhD Project in INFRA-CARE (Horizon Europe, New European Bauhaus) and CARE+ (Novo Nordisk Foundation)

Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN)
Faculty of SCIENCE

University of Copenhagen

The Section of Landscape Architecture, Planning, & Society at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN) invites applicants for a PhD position in infrastructures of care for the green transition. The position is embedded in the research project “INFRA-CARE: Nurturing Infrastructures of Care by Centering Culture, Nature, and Solidarity in the Green Transition”, financed by Horizon Europe under the New European Bauhaus programme, and connects to the project CARE+: Climate Action, Responsibility and Ethics of Care, financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is (expected to be) 1 February 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

The PhD will be primarily embedded in INFRA-CARE, a Horizon Europe project awarded under the New European Bauhaus programme (call HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-PARTICIPATION-02). Coordinated as a 36-month Research and Innovation Action with 8 European partners, INFRA-CARE reimagines European neighbourhoods as ecosystems of care, where social, cultural, ecological, institutional, and digital infrastructures sustain wellbeing, solidarity, and ecological resilience beyond moments of crisis.

Across five European cities — Copenhagen, Athens, Vienna, Łódź, and Berlin — Living Labs and Biennales co-create and test evidence-based strategies to embed care, creativity, and inclusion into neighbourhood transformation, exploring how everyday cultural and caring practices foster trust, belonging, and civic engagement, particularly among marginalised groups. A Digital Neighbourhood Atlas visualises social, ecological, cultural, institutional, and digital infrastructures of care, while the Caring Neighbourhood Index measures their impact on cohesion and green discontent, and the Caring Futures Guidelines translate insights into scalable, policy-relevant tools for inclusive, sustainable, and beautiful green transitions. Together, these actions generate evidence and transferable strategies that show how culture and care can nurture Europe’s social fabric, ensuring the green transition becomes a care transition.

The position will also connect to CARE+: Climate Action, Responsibility and Ethics of Care (Novo Nordisk Foundation, led by Aalborg University in partnership with the University of Copenhagen, DiverCities, EIT Urban Mobility, Miljøpunkt Amager, and Trafik i Børnehøjde), which investigates how a care-centred, technology-enabled model of climate engagement can reduce emissions from everyday school-run mobility while strengthening climate literacy and agency among children, families, and municipalities. CARE+ offers a closely related empirical site through which questions of care, infrastructure, and the green transition can be further grounded and compared.

Across both projects, care is treated not as a private sentiment but as a public infrastructure: a set of practices, relationships, and institutional arrangements that sustain life, belonging, and ecological resilience, and that must be actively built, resourced, and defended if the green transition is to be just and durable.

Research scope

The successful candidate will develop an independent PhD project that empirically grounds and theoretically advances the concept of care as it operates across these two initiatives. While the final scope will be shaped together with the candidate and supervisory team, the project is expected to:

- Empirically investigate one or more sites of everyday care practice connected to INFRA-CARE and/or CARE+, for example, infrastructures of care (social, cultural, ecological, institutional, digital) within one or more of INFRA-CARE’s five living-lab neighbourhoods (Copenhagen, Athens, Vienna, Łódź, Berlin), engagement with project tools and strands such as the Caring Neighbourhood Index, the Listening Labs piloting arts- and culture-based civic engagement, or the multispecies storytelling strand extending care to more-than-human relations in planning, or the mobility of care in CARE+’s school-run living labs and citizen-sensing activities.

- Engage critically and constructively with theoretical literature on the ethics of care (e.g. Tronto, Sen, Nussbaum), feminist mobilities and environmental justice scholarship, and emerging work on care infrastructures and more-than-human relations in planning and urban governance.

- Contribute original conceptual work that advances how care is operationalised, measured, and made actionable for planning practice and policy, for instance, critically engaging with tools such as the Caring Neighbourhood Index or the Digital Neighbourhood Atlas, while remaining attentive to the risks of instrumentalising or flattening care as a concept.

- Be feasible within a three-year scope: a single, well-defined empirical case or a small comparative set of cases which can be translated into a paper-based PhD dissertation format (e.g. one or two of INFRA-CARE’s five neighbourhoods), rather than an attempt to cover the full breadth of either parent project.

Candidates are encouraged to propose their own angle of entry into this scope, whether more strongly empirical (e.g. comparative fieldwork within INFRA-CARE’s neighbourhood living labs) or more strongly theoretical (e.g. a conceptual contribution to care ethics in planning theory), provided the project remains anchored in the empirical material generated by INFRA-CARE and/or CARE+.

Project tasks and responsibilities

Alongside the independent PhD project, the successful candidate is expected to contribute to defined tasks and deliverables within the two parent projects. These tasks anchor the PhD in the day-to-day work of the consortia and provide direct access to the projects’ empirical material, tools, and networks.

Within INFRA-CARE, this might include:

- Collecting, coding and analysing qualitative and geo-coded data from digital photovoice walks with community members, and supporting stakeholder and socio-spatial mapping in the Copenhagen (Hørgården) living lab and other case sites.

- Conducting case studies of a sub-set of the five neighbourhood living labs (Copenhagen, Athens, Vienna, Łódź, Berlin) and contributing to the Caring Neighbourhood Index and the Digital Neighbourhood Atlas dashboards.

- Supporting the drafting of technical reports, policy briefs and the Caring Futures Guidelines, and participating in research team and consortium meetings.

The balance between these project tasks and the candidate’s independent research will be agreed with the supervisory team as part of the PhD plan.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of care ethics, urban sustainability, and the green transition. Applicants can have a background from human geography, anthropology, urban planning, landscape architecture, sociology, environmental humanities, or a related social science or humanities discipline.

We are looking for a candidate who can demonstrate:

- A strong academic background and clear motivation for doctoral-level research on care, ethics, planning, and the green transition.

- Familiarity with qualitative and/or participatory research methods; experience with mixed-methods approaches (e.g. citizen science, GIS, or quantitative social science) is an asset but not required.

- Excellent written and spoken English.

- Proficiency in written and spoken Danish or another Scandinavian language is preferable.

- The ability to work independently while contributing constructively to a larger, multi-partner research consortium.

- An interest in policy-relevant, practice-engaged research that bridges theory and real-world impact.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The candidate will join the Section of Landscape Architecture, Planning, & Society, an active, interdisciplinary research environment with strong links to municipal partners, NGOs, and European research networks. The candidate will have opportunities to participate in living-lab fieldwork, project meetings, and dissemination events including planned Bienneles and the Festival of Care.

The group is a part of the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN), Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.

PhD fellowship in DNA Replication and Early Mammalian Development at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We are offering a fully funded three-year PhD fellowship in the Halliwell Group at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM), Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The position is funded through the Novo Nordisk Foundation Hallas-Møller Emerging Investigator Grant and will commence on 1 April 2027.

Our group and research
The Halliwell Group investigates one of the most fundamental questions in biology: how life successfully begins from a single cell. We study how DNA replication is established during the earliest stages of mammalian development and how failures in this process contribute to genome instability, infertility and pregnancy loss.

Our research combines developmental biology, genome biology, molecular genetics and embryology with state-of-the-art genomic technologies. We are particularly interested in understanding how the maternal and paternal genomes are reprogrammed immediately after fertilisation and how this process ensures faithful genome duplication during the first embryonic cell divisions.

As a member of the laboratory, you will join an ambitious and collaborative research environment where curiosity, technical innovation and scientific independence are encouraged. The group is embedded within ICMM, providing access to outstanding facilities for human and mouse embryology, advanced microscopy, genome engineering, transgenic mouse models and single-cell genomics.

Project description

Every human life begins with a single fertilised egg that must accurately duplicate its DNA before the first cell division. Surprisingly, DNA replication during these earliest stages of development remains poorly understood despite its importance for healthy embryonic development. Errors that arise during this process are thought to contribute to many cases of embryo arrest, miscarriage and developmental disorders.

This PhD project will investigate how DNA replication programmes are established immediately after fertilisation and how they are coordinated with changes in chromatin organisation and genome regulation. Using a combination of molecular biology, genome engineering, embryology and single-cell genomic approaches, the project aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that ensure accurate genome duplication at the beginning of life.

The successful candidate will receive extensive training in modern experimental techniques and will have the opportunity to develop expertise in embryology, genome biology and functional genomics while working on a highly interdisciplinary project.

Principal supervisor is Dr Jason Halliwell, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Copenhagen, jhalliwell@sund.ku.dk.

PhD Fellowship in Microbial Ecology and Community-Based Bioprotection of Plant Foods

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

We invite applications for a fully funded three-year PhD fellowship in microbial ecology and food microbiology.

The position is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation-funded research project BIOBARRIER: Bacterial Communities to Reduce Plant Food Loss, led by Associate Professor Henriette Lyng Røder.

Application deadline: 1 October 2026, 23:59 CET
Expected start date: 15 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter
Employment: Full-time, 3 years

The project

Food loss caused by microbial spoilage is a major challenge for a more sustainable food production. While microorganisms are often viewed as a problem in food systems, naturally occurring microbial communities can also play beneficial roles by protecting plant foods against spoilage organisms. However, the underlying mechanisms of such community-driven protection remain poorly understood.

The overall aim of the BIOBARRIER project is to establish the scientific foundation for using beneficial bacterial communities as protective barriers on fresh plant foods. Focusing on potato-associated microbial communities and their interactions with spoilage organisms of the genus Pectobacterium, the project seeks to uncover how microbial interactions can contribute to food protection and reduced food loss.

BIOBARRIER combines microbial ecology, molecular microbiology, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and computational approaches to understand how microbial communities generate protective functions that individual species cannot achieve alone.

The PhD project

This PhD fellowship is associated with the work package Biocontrol Mechanisms and focuses on understanding how bacterial communities suppress spoilage organisms through gene expression and production of protective metabolites.

The successful candidate will investigate questions such as:

How interactions between bacterial species shape community function.
How microbial communities potentially alter gene expression compared with individual species.
Which metabolites are associated with microbial bioprotection.
How community composition influences protective activity.

Postdoc in Modelling of Ecosystem Biogeochemistry of Wetlands

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management invites applications for a 3-year full time postdoctoral position on the development and application of models, to simulate the ecosystem biogeochemistry of wetlands, at regional to global scales. The work will assess the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic drivers on wetland greenhouse gas balances. The postdoc project is part of the Global Wetland Center, a research center funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

The Global Wetland Center contributes to the development of wetland-based climate change mitigation strategies through a combination of biogeochemical and hydrological modelling, in situ measurements, satellite remote sensing, and use of Artificial Intelligence techniques. The Center is a collaboration between the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management and the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, DHI A/S, and GEUS (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland). The center is funded for a six-year period (2024-2029).

We are looking for a candidate that will develop and use modelling tools constrained by observations to simulate emissions of CO2, CH4 and N2O from wetlands. We envisage combining process-based modelling and machine learning, as well as integration of Earth observation data into the modelling framework. The objective is to quantify the GHG budgets of wetlands across the globe (tropical inland wetlands, northern high-latitude wetlands, coastal wetlands) under current and future climatic conditions and investigate direct anthropogenic impacts by quantifying the roles of wetland management (draining, rewetting) and land use.

Specifically, we hope to find a candidate who is eager to investigate new modelling techniques (e.g., differentiable programming) for upscaling of GHG fluxes, and who is willing to discuss the model complexity needed to capture global-scale wetland GHG emissions. The work will build on ongoing model development in the Global Wetland Center, and will require a close collaboration with hydrological modellers, experts in Earth observation, and computer scientists.

The postdoc’s duties will include research within the field described above as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties. The postdoc will be a part of the Global Wetland Center and will join a large team of 10-15 Early Career Scientists conducting research on wetlands.

Further information on the Department is available at https://ign.ku.dk/ Further information on the Global Wetland Center is available at http://globalwetlandcenter.ku.dk/ Inquiries about the position can be made to Guy Schurgers, gusc@ign.ku.dk, leader of the Global Wetland Center.

Postdoc position to examine challenges to a greener and more biodiverse Denmark using social sciences perspectives and the case of evolving human/mosquito relations

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoc position at the Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO), University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Preferably the starting date is 1 December 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Research area and project description
As part of a new interdisciplinary research project to investigate the relationship between on-going land use changes (as part of Denmark’s Green tripartite) and mosquito populations in Denmark, we are seeking a highly motivated postdoc to work through social sciences methods to examine the nature of and changes to human / mosquito relations in Denmark – and the challenges and dilemmas that can occur when ‘nature’ becomes or is perceived as a nuisance.

Anthropogenic changes such as climate and land use change influence the emergence and risk of vector-borne diseases, which are transmitted to humans and animals via blood-feeding insects.

As Denmark accelerates its green transition to address biodiversity loss and climate adaptation, they may also create favorable conditions for the disease‑transmitting organisms (vectors) such as mosquitoes – increasing vector‑borne disease risks. Wetland development is one obvious example.

Sometimes, efforts toward increasing biodiversity and ‘nature’ conservation/restoration can encounter local resident or user-group resistance as a result of so-called environmental disservices (‘ecosystem-generated functions, processes, and attributes that result in perceived or actual negative impacts on human well-being’; Shackleton et al. 2016). When ‘nature’ becomes a nuisance – from wolves, to pollens, to mosquitoes – the unruliness of ‘nature’, or more accurately socio-natures (Leach et al. 2021), becomes both apparent and unavoidable for policymakers and implementers.

The postdoc will play a key role in establishing and examining one or more case study sites under green transition in Denmark. Here, the focus will be to explore how human experiences of mosquitoes evolve alongside ecological shifts, and with what implications for ongoing or proposed land-use change as well as biodiversity and health. Specifically, the postdoc will engage local stakeholders in identifying barriers/solutions in relation to efforts toward green land use transitions (broadly speaking), and establish approaches for co-created ways to meaningfully address mosquito nuisance. Outputs include evidence on mosquito and perception shifts driven by land-use change, and improved stakeholder understanding of mosquito-borne disease risks and modes of response. The postdoc could employ multispecies studies or new materialist perspectives, engage with the literature on environmental disservices, or ecological citizenship, or employ another related thematic or conceptual area of relevance to the data as findings emerge.

Concrete research activities will entail: helping identify one or more delimited case sites (‘Living labs’), to be selected following an initial scoping study in Denmark of any existing mosquito-oriented debates emerging in relation to recent or planned green land use transitions, i.e. wetland restorations, development of modes of citizen engagement and subsequent data collection (interviews, observations); and, co-creation of potential modes of mitigating problems in the case area. Research activities could also entail a discourse analysis of local / national media coverage and/or social media groups (e.g. a community Facebook page), interviews with and/or a survey of knowledge and perceptions held by residents, and nature managers. There will also be opportunities for developing one’s own research ideas related to human/mosquito relations and dynamics in collaboration with the group.

The position is for 2 years and will be one of two postdoc positions (the other postdoc will have a background in natural sciences with focus on environmental DNA mapping of mosquito diversity) in the newly started interdisciplinary project funded by the UCPH Convergence Grants. Project partners are the Natural History Museum of Denmark and the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. The two postdocs are expected to work together in the project.

The postdoc will join an innovative and interdisciplinary research project, where key responsibilities specifically will include:

Co-select appropriate case site(s), e.g. areas with recent, current or near-future green transitions and emerging mosquito-related concerns
Establish and maintain engagement with various stakeholder groups
Lead in qualitative data collection and analysis
Lead minimum one co-authored research publications and contribute to others
Undertake interdisciplinary collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Denmark and Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences on stakeholder engagement.

Qualifications and competences
Applicants must have a PhD degree or equivalent or have submitted their PhD thesis for assessment before the application deadline. We seek a candidate from the social sciences with qualitative research experience and with an interest in participatory science methods, such as citizen science.

Required qualifications

PhD in a social science discipline such as, for instance, human geography, sociology, anthropology, bioethics, public health, and/or scholarly fields of political ecology, environmental humanities, multispecies studies, or related.
Demonstrated experience with qualitative research methods. This will entail both desk-based, but especially face to face encounters with residents of research sites.
Some flexibility to occasionally conduct fieldwork beyond the hours of a regular workday.
Danish skills (written and spoken) and familiarity with Danish society.
Aspire toward a highly collaborative interdisciplinary research environment.

Preferred qualifications

Experience with stakeholder engagement, citizen science, and/or public engagement.
Knowledge of quantitative methods such as survey design (e.g. Survey Xact software) and quantitative data analysis could be an advantage.
Familiarity with the Green Tripartite implementation in Denmark.
Familiarity with vector ecology, mosquitoes or disease ecology.

A strong scientific track record with a productive publication list and positive reviews from previous supervisors, collaborators or mentors will also weigh strongly in the assessment.

Place of employment
The place of employment is at Section for Consumption, Bioethics and Governance, Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO), Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen (UCPH). IFRO offers creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.

Physical presence at IFRO is considered as a natural part of being an employee to contribute to a welcoming, socially pleasant, and creative work environment. IFRO offers possibility for flexibility and working from home, but an employee is expected to regularly be present physically at IFRO.

Terms of employment

The average weekly working hours are 37 hours per week.
The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of 2 years.

PhD fellowship in Soil Fertility phosphorus

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN) invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Soil Fertility. The project is part of the research project “Can microbial phosphorus mobilization be primed? Organic fertiliser effect on biological soil phosphorus cycling (PRIME-P)”, which is financed by the NovoNordisk Foundation.

Start date is 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project
Biobased fertilisers (BBF) exist in many forms (sewage sludge, compost, animal manures etc.) with different chemical properties, elemental composition and nutrient concentrations influencing their behaviour upon addition to soil. Unlike mineral phosphate fertilisers, many BBF contain significant amounts of organic phosphorus (P) and calcium phosphate forms, which are not directly available to plants. Soil microorganisms play a crucial role in the mineralization of organic P and the solubilisation of inorganic P, making microbial-driven soil P transformations essential for plant P availability when using BBF. Because of the relatively large carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) contents of BBF, soil organic matter may be signicantly modified, thereby affecting soil microbial activity. The objective of the PhD project is to determine how additions of different BBF affect soil organic matter over time and influence microbial P mobilisation. The main research questions are: 1) Do different forms of OM affect microbial P mobilization? 2) Do the different OM fractions have the similar levels of P mineralization? 3) How do soil properties influence microbially mediated P cycling?

To address these questions, activities will include soil characterization in relation to P availability, soil organic matter fractionation upon recent and historical BBF additions, soil incubation studies to investigate microbial P processing (using isotopic techniques (33P and 18O enriched water) and measurements of enzymatic actvity), investigation of microscale mechanisms using advanced imaging techniques and potentially implementation of a soil-plant model in collaboration with another team member.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of soil biogeochemistry, plant nutrition or a closely related discipline, with interest in fundamental and applied aspects of soil science and plant nutrition. We are seeking a motivated and ambitious individual with strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as excellent spoken and written English. We encourage applications from candidates with a combination of the following or closely related competences:

strong knowledge of, and interest in, soil biogeochemistry processes, with special emphasis on phosphorus and soil organic matter dynamics.
excellent experimental experience in laboratory work, including soil sampling and analyses, soil organic matter fractionation, use of isotopic techniques etc.
ability to translate theoretical scientific questions into practical experimental designs and measurements
ability to analyse and interpret complex datasets.
ability to work independently and take initiative, strong hands-on problem-solving skills, and the capacity to acquire new skills.

We recognize that research shows that women and other underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement. If you are excited about this position and believe you can contribute, we strongly encourage you to apply, even if your experience does not perfectly match every qualification listed. We value curiosity, motivation, and the potential and willingness to learn.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

Postdoctoral Researcher Position in Labour Immigration and Institutional Change

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen

The Employment Relations Research Centre (FAOS) at the Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen, invites applications for two fixed-term postdoctoral researcher positions (2½ years) starting 1 March 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

These positions are part of the project ‘Labour Migration as a Source of Institutional Change’, which investigates how companies’ use of migrant labour can cause changes in receiving countries labour market institutions. The postdoctoral researcher will undertake comparative case studies of companies’ use of migrant labour across three sectors (manufacturing, construction and hospitality) in two countries (either Austria and Netherlands or Ireland and Sweden). The case studies will contribute to all aspects of the project, including a five-country comparison.

The project is led by Associate Professor Jens Arnholtz (PI) and is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The research team will consist of the two postdoctoral researchers and the PI.

Job Description
In many Western European countries, labour migrants’ share of employment has expanded substantially the last decades reaching beyond 25 percent in some countries. However, our current understanding of how labour market institutions change ignores labour migration. Therefore, we know little about the long-term impact of labour migration on receiving countries’ labour market institutions.

To address this issue, this project proposes and tests a new theory of how labour migration causes institutional change: Companies pursuing deviant business strategies can use labour migrants to overcome institutional obstacles and the proliferation of such deviant business strategies can cause incremental institutional change. The cumulative effects of those changes have transformative potential for how labour markets are governed.

To test and develop this theory, the postdoctoral researcher will conduct sector case studies in different countries focusing both on the link between deviant business strategies and the use of migrant labour, and on the cumulative effects of labour migration over time in different sectors and countries.

Key Tasks:

Conduct comparative case studies of the use of migrant labor in three sectors across two countries.
Utilize process-tracing methodologies to analyze to what extent inflow of migrant labour and proliferation of deviant business practices are related.
Conduct and analyze interviews with company representatives, trade unions, labour inspectors and other authorities, and experts.
Gather and analyze supplementary data such as statistics, archival data, media sources, policy documents, and studies to reconstruct historical development.
Compare cross-national and cross-sectorial variations in how divergent business strategies and labour migration co-develop.
Write academic articles based on findings for submission to top sociology and political science journals.
Present findings at international conferences (e.g., SASE, CES, EPSA, ESA).

The project includes 1½ month research stay in each case country, hosted by members of the project’s advisory board.

The postdoctoral researcher position is mainly a research position, but there is a 10 % teaching obligation.

For further information, including more details on project, please contact Associate Professor Jens Arnholtz (jh@faos.dk).

Qualifications
Appointment as a postdoctoral researcher requires research qualifications at a level at least equivalent to those obtained through the satisfactory completion of a PhD programme within the relevant field.

We seek candidates with the following qualifications:

A PhD in Sociology, Political Science, Comparative Political Economy, Industrial Relations or a related field (completed or near completion).
Expertise in qualitative research methods, particularly comparative case study analysis, qualitative interviews and process-tracing.
Knowledge of political economy, labour market institutions or labour migration.
Fluency in English and either German and Dutch or Swedish is required; proficiency in Danish is desirable but not a requirement.
Experience with or willingness to engage in academic collaboration.

You can find further information about the qualification requirements for postdoctoral positions here: Ministerial Order on Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities (In Danish only).

PhD fellowship in Natural Language Processing

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

PhD Project in Cultural Reasoning with Language Models

The AI Section at the Department of Computer Science invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in computational modelling and evaluation of cultural interpretation with language models. The position is part of the research project “CuRe: Cultural Reasoning for Responsible Language Model Development” (DFF project 5334-00088B), funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark.

The expected start date is February 1st, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

Language models can produce fluent interpretations of texts while obscuring the cultural assumptions, uncertainty and alternative readings underlying their answers. CuRe investigates how language models understand and reason about culture, ambiguity and interpretation, and how these capabilities can be evaluated and improved to support responsible language model development. Literary texts provide a demanding testbed: their interpretation depends on historical and cultural knowledge, close attention to textual evidence and the ability to accommodate several plausible readings.

The PhD candidate will develop computational methods and evaluation resources for culturally grounded interpretation. Working closely with researchers in natural language processing and literary studies, the candidate is expected to:

construct datasets and benchmarks linking literary passages, relevant cultural and historical context, textual evidence and expert or reader interpretations;
analyse what cultural knowledge and interpretive strategies language models use, where their interpretations fail and how confidently they present uncertain conclusions;
develop methods for grounding interpretations in evidence and for representing uncertainty, ambiguity and multiple plausible interpretations;
evaluate the resulting methods through automatic experiments and studies with literary scholars and other readers; and
publish the results in leading venues in natural language processing, artificial intelligence and computational humanities.

The exact research questions will be refined together with the successful candidate. Relevant methodological directions include language model evaluation and probing, retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation, explicit representations of interpretive evidence and uncertainty, data annotation, human-centred evaluation and multilingual or cross-cultural analysis. The empirical work will primarily use modern Scandinavian literary texts, while aiming to develop methods and findings that generalise beyond literature. The project includes a planned research stay at McGill University.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates with a strong computational background and an interest in how language, culture and interpretation can be studied rigorously. Applicants may have a background in natural language processing, computational linguistics, computer science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, digital humanities or a closely related field. Formal training in literary studies is not required, but the successful candidate must be motivated to work across disciplinary boundaries and to engage seriously with humanities research questions.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The PhD fellow will join the CoAStaL research group and the AI Section at the Department of Computer Science. The research environment brings together faculty, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students working on multilingual and cross-cultural NLP, multimodality, language model training and evaluation, responsible AI and computational humanities. The section collaborates broadly with leading research groups in Denmark and abroad.

CuRe is an interdisciplinary collaboration with the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the University of Copenhagen. The project builds on established joint work in computational literary studies and provides access to large literary corpora, domain expertise and relevant annotation resources. The PhD fellow will therefore be part of both a technically strong NLP environment and a close collaboration with literary scholars.

The group is part of the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern GPU computing resources, shared data and annotation infrastructure and access to relevant text corpora.

Principal supervisor: Associate Professor Desmond Elliott, Department of Computer Science, de@di.ku.dk.
