The position starting date is 1 December 2026.

Introduction
The DiCST project is headed by Associate Professor Laila Øksnebjerg and will  be conducted in close collaboration with dementia professionals from e.g. municipalities. As user-involvement is a key in the project, people with dementia and family caregivers are also regarded as collaborators. Moreover, the project will involve collaboration with international researchers. The project is funded by TrygFonden and Alzheimer-forskningsfonden.

The DiCST study is based on Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is a well-known psychosocial intervention method for people with mild to moderate dementia. There is profound evidence that CST can improve cognitive function and quality of life in people with dementia. CST was originally developed as a group-based manualised intervention delivered by professionals. The aim of the DiCST study is to design an individual psychosocial intervention for people with dementia, which is easy to access and implement in a home setting with a family caregiver. The aim of the intervention is to improve cognitive functions and quality of life of the person with dementia, as well as quality of life and aspects of caregiving for the family caregiver. Hence, DiCST will involve meaningful shared activities between a person with dementia and a family caregiver. The DiCST study will involve two sub-studies. In the first study the DiCST manual will be developed and evaluated, and methods and tools to support implementation of the DiCST intervention will be developed and evaluated. In the second study, the clinical effects of this DiCST method will be explored in a feasibility randomized controlled trial.

The PhD programme provides PhD students with strong research training and includes independent research work (under supervision), active participation in research networks, PhD courses, teaching, and other forms of knowledge dissemination, as well as drafting and defending a PhD-dissertation. The open position is for a 3-year PhD, within the framework of the 5+3 study programme.   

Qualifications
Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to master’s level related to the subject area of the project, e.g. neuropsychology and/or clinical psychology. 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, you must either have a master’s degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (two years) or as minimum a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree (three years) and be assessed as having professional qualifications at master's level.

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

The ideal candidate will have knowledge of and interest in psychosocial interventions for people with dementia and their family caregivers. The candidate can have gained such perspectives from previous engagement in the field of neuropsychology and/or clinical psychology. While not a requirement, prior experience from working with qualitative data and/or cognitive (neuropsychological) assessment will be considered an asset. As the DiCST project will be performed in a Danish context, the candidate must be fluent in oral and written Danish (corresponding to CEFR level C1). In addition, excellent communication skills in English are essential and applicants must speak and write academic English. The administration may ask applicants to document their proficiency in Danish and English at any time in the recruitment process, if considered necessary.

As the project will involve a range of sub-projects and close collaboration with a number of different stakeholders, the candidate should have strong interpersonal skills and competencies related to planning and project management.

Applicants with a non-Danish Master's degree will have their degree assessed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science in order to establish that their Master's degree is equivalent to a Danish Master's degree. Please read more at the Ministry of Higher Education and Sciences website: https://ufm.dk/en

Our Research

The Computational Chemistry Unit at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research develops structure-based approaches to design ligands for proteins and receptors involved in metabolic disease, with a strong track record in small-molecule ligand discovery. These ligands enable pharmacological interrogation of target function and support characterization of their therapeutic potential. Our work sits at the interface of computational chemistry, structural biology, and pharmacology, with a strong focus on GPCRs and translational target validation.

We are now expanding into computational peptide design, building next-generation pipelines that combine structural data, AI-based modeling, and molecular simulations to enable rational design of bioactive peptides. These efforts are tightly integrated with experimental validation through close collaborations across CBMR and with external partners, creating a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment.

Job Description

As a Postdoctoral researcher, you will develop, implement, and apply state-of-the-art computational strategies for structure-based peptide design, leveraging recent advances in AI-based structure prediction and co-folding (e.g. AlphaFold-class methods), molecular modeling software such as Rosetta, and GPU-accelerated computing. You will build robust and scalable computational pipelines and drive the project scientifically and technically.

You will use these approaches to design peptide ligands targeting metabolic GPCRs, focusing on the neuropeptide Y (NPY) and MCH receptor families, integrating peptide design, structural filtering, and refinement, and work closely with experimental collaborators to translate designs into functional ligands through synthesis, pharmacology, and in vivo validation.

In parallel, you will extend the framework to identify receptor targets for bioactive peptides and generalize it to new systems.

Project description
Much of the current civil society activity is digital, and most of it happens on private commercial platforms. The advertised position is part of Advotar, a research project on the core principles of sovereign data infrastructure which could support effective use of AI across the civic society, while maintaining institutional trust and control over the citizen’s data. The project team includes chief scientists with expertise in machine learning (Professor Serge Belongie, Pioneer Center for AI), natural language processing (Associate Professor Anna Rogers, IT University of Copenhagen) and political science (Professor Rebecca Adler-Nielsen, University of Copenhagen), as well as a postdoc in natural language processing (Terne Sasha Thorn Jakobsen, IT university of Copenhagen). We also collaborate with Os&Data, a Danish non-profit organization experimenting with alternative infrastructures for supporting the civil society. The ongoing work focuses on technical NLP research: what kind of AI infrastructure could enable citizens to effectively access the communal resources (both from the public institutions and civic communities)?

We are seeking a civic-minded researcher with human-computer interaction skills to join the group. A well-documented problem with the current AI systems is the lack of factuality, but little is done to consider interfaces that would encourage verification and contextualization. Another problem is that the current modes of interacting with AI for information access are rather ‘selfish’: the people who originally provided the knowledge used by the AI system, do not get recognition when their data helped someone else -- and there is no incentive for the AI user to contribute back to the knowledge communities.

Rather than accepting the existing modes of interaction with current AI systems, we would like to consider more broadly what kind of AI-based methods and AI-mediated interfaces for accessing communal knowledge would be beneficial to help the society to keep its members well-informed -- and maintain the communal knowledge resources.

Qualifications
Applicants must have a PhD degree or document equivalent qualifications in one or more of the following areas: computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, or philosophy. Applicants are required to document:

• an internationally oriented research profile as documented by a PhD dissertation and/or research publications
• experience in independently managing research projects
• excellent communication and interpersonal skills in order to engage productively with both the CAISA research team and external organisations and institutions

Finally, applicants are asked to provide a proposal for research to be undertaken within the stated framework of the research project (max. 1-2 pages). Please note that although the application process can be completed on the University of Copenhagen system without uploading publications, applications that do not include uploaded publications (max. five) will not be considered.

Om stillingen
Det nye kompetencecenter skal hjælpe universitetet med at beregne, hvad vores avancerede forskningsinfrastruktur koster at anvende, fx vores dyre mikroskoper, samt sikre, at prissætningen er korrekt og gennemsigtig. Det er vigtigt, fordi en stor del af KU's forskning er finansieret af eksterne bevillingsgivere som fx EU, der stiller høje krav til dokumentation.

Du bliver leder af en ny enhed, som organisatorisk placeres i Koncernøkonomi. Enheden vil bestå af kompetencecentret for omkostningsberegning samt tværgående analyseopgaver på økonomiområdet. Du får personaleansvar for ca. seks medarbejdere – både nuværende medarbejdere og nye medarbejdere, som du er med til at rekruttere. Samtidig får du en central rolle i at udvikle økonomiske analyser og beslutningsgrundlag, som understøtter universitetets ledelse og den fortsatte udvikling af økonomistyringen. Vi har blandt andet fokus på, hvad det koster for KU at tage imod ekstern finansiering til vores forskningsprojekter samt på udviklingen i vores administrationsomkostninger.

I Koncernøkonomi bliver du en del af en enhed med ca. 25 medarbejdere fordelt på to sektioner. Kompetencecentret bliver en ny tredje sektion, og du indgår i ledelsesteamet sammen med sektionsleder Maria Hinnerup Fjallstein og koncernøkonomichef Susanne Heunicke.

Du bliver en del af et stærkt fagligt miljø med engagerede kolleger og får gode muligheder for både faglig og personlig udvikling. Samtidig tilbyder vi fleksible arbejdsvilkår og en arbejdsplads, hvor samarbejde, udvikling og trivsel prioriteres højt.

Dine vigtigste ansvarsområder
En stor del af dit arbejde kommer til at bestå af at skabe stærke relationer og samarbejder på tværs af hele universitetet. Du får derfor en bred kontaktflade på hele universitetet og skal kunne navigere i krydsfeltet mellem faglige, økonomiske og organisatoriske hensyn.

Du får blandt andet ansvar for at:

• etablere og udvikle det nye kompetencecenter, herunder rekruttering og ledelse af medarbejdere
• udvikle modeller og metoder til økonomiske beregninger
• udarbejde økonomiske analyser og beslutningsgrundlag til ledelsen
• udvikle fælles processer og arbejdsgange på tværs af universitetet
• sikre høj kvalitet i universitetets økonomiske datagrundlag

Om dig
Du står stærkt i din økonomifaglighed og motiveres af at opbygge og udvikle noget nyt. Måske er du et spirende ledelsestalent, eller måske har du allerede erfaring med personaleledelse. Det vigtigste for os er, at du trives i en rolle med både ledelse og hænderne nede i den faglig udvikling.

Vi forestiller os, at du:

• har erfaring med omkostningsberegninger, prissætning eller datadrevet økonomisk analyse – gerne fra andre politisk styrede organisationer
• kan skabe klarhed om roller, ansvar og samarbejdsflader
• kan skabe struktur, retning og fremdrift i komplekse opgaver
• er en stærk formidler - både mundtligt og skriftligt
• kan opbygge stærke samarbejdsrelationer på tværs af organisationen
• har en relevant videregående uddannelse, fx cand.polit.

Din nye arbejdsplads
Københavns Universitet er et af Europas største universiteter med ca. 10.000 medarbejdere, 36.000 studerende og en årlig omsætning på omkring 12 mia. kr. Universitetet er kendetegnet ved forskning og uddannelse på højeste internationale niveau og spiller en central rolle i udviklingen af ny viden til gavn for samfundet.

Løn- og ansættelsesvilkår
Ansættelse sker som chefkonsulent med personaleansvar efter gældende overenskomst. Tillæg forhandles efter kvalifikationer.

Stillingen forventes besat 1. november eller snarest derefter. Ansættelse og aflønning sker i henhold til Cirkulære om overenskomst for akademikere i staten mellem Finansministeriet og Akademikerne, med indplacering som chefkonsulent med personaleansvar. Du kan forhandle tillæg, afhængigt af dine kompetencer og erfaring.

Yderligere oplysninger
Samtaler forventes afholdt i uge 36 og 37

På vegne af rektor varetager vi ordensregler for studerende (disciplinærsager) og legalitetskontrol af klagesager. Vi yder også generel uddannelsesjuridisk rådgivning og bidrager i samarbejde med resten af uddannelsesadministrationen til at understøtte en god administrativ praksis, ligesom vi koordinerer og håndterer aktindsigter på tværs af uddannelsesområdet.

Arbejdsopgaver

Du vil arbejde med jura i en uddannelsesadministrativ kontekst og have en bred kontaktflade i administrationen og til myndigheder. Dine opgaver er primært knyttet til klagesagsområdet og uddannelsesjuridisk rådgivning om fortolkning og anvendelse af regler i praksis. Samtidig vil du bidrage til at kvalificere løbende harmoniseringer af studieadministrative processer, fx på studieordningsområdet, så de er juridisk holdbare og fungerer i praksis.

Dine arbejdsopgaver omfatter:

Vi forventer:

Du har en juridisk kandidatuddannelse (cand.jur.) eller lignende (fx cand.merc.jur., cand.soc.jur.). Du kan også have en anden kandidatuddannelse. I så fald vil vi lægge vægt på erfaring med juridisk sagsbehandling inden for rammerne af forvaltningsloven.

Vi foretrækker kandidater, der har erfaring med uddannelsesområdet, gerne fra et universitet eller en professionshøjskole – alternativt fra lignende forvaltningsområder i den offentlige administration.  

Såfremt du har en juridisk kandidatuddannelse, kan du også være nyuddannet med lyst og interesse for juridisk sagsbehandling inden for uddannelsesjura og uddannelsesadministration.

Herudover forventer vi, at du:

• Har en solid forvaltningsretlig forståelse og kan omsætte regler til praksis
• Arbejder pragmatisk, empatisk og løsningsorienteret på et juridisk sikkert grundlag
• Ideelt set har erfaring med eller kendskab til studieadministrativ praksis og processer, fx studieordnings- og studienævnsarbejde
• Kan udvikle sammenhængende og holdbare løsninger, der både sikrer de studerendes retssikkerhed og en velfungerende administrativ praksis
• Kommunikerer klart og præcist mundtlig og skriftligt
• Trives i et samarbejdsorienteret miljø og bidrager konstruktivt til faglig sparring

Vi tilbyder

• Et fagligt stærkt miljø med engagerede kolleger, en uformel omgangstone og tæt samarbejde og sparring
• Et meningsfuldt arbejde tæt på universitetets kerneopgaver på uddannelsesområdet
• En spændende og afvekslende stilling på en dynamisk arbejdsplads, hvor der er gode muligheder for faglig udvikling og læring

The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity of society and encourages all qualified candidates to apply regardless of personal background.

The project examines democratic engagement, public participation, legitimacy, and ownership in green transitions.

Each position is a full time fixed-term position for 24 months.

Introduction
The green transition in Denmark is marked by tensions between national climate ambitions and local experiences of exclusion, mistrust, and resistance. Large-scale renewable energy and green land-use projects encounter opposition from residents and landowners who feel that their interests and voices are not represented in planning and implementation processes. These conflicts contribute not only to delays and cancellations of projects, but also to wider democratic challenges, including growing polarization and declining trust in political institutions.

In parallel, a majority of the Danish population supports climate and environmental policies, and many citizens actively participate in local sustainability initiatives, where they collectively form eco-villages, energy communities, regenerative land-use projects, local sharing initiatives, and sustainable textile fibre processing.

The MOOW project explores these seemingly contrasting yet interconnected dynamics of the green transition. The project investigates how citizens and communities perform a democratic ownership in concrete change processes, and how these forms of engagement relate to national climate policies and democratic citizenship.

The research builds on two fields of scholarship:

1. Just transition research, which emphasizes distributive, procedural, and recognition justice in green transitions.
2. Democratic engagement theory, including deliberative and agonistic approaches to participation, contestation, and public legitimacy.

By combining these perspectives, the project aims to develop practical and theoretically informed strategies for inclusive, citizen-driven climate action.

Duties and Responsibilities
The postdoctoral position will primarily focus on research and outreach, although it may also include a limited amount of teaching. The distribution of responsibilities will be agreed upon before the position commences.

Each postdoc is expected to conduct individual research in close collaboration with the project group, consisting of early career and senior scholars, as well as external partners from both public and private sectors. The research will primarily rely on qualitative fieldwork, quantitative surveys and social scientific analysis. Additionally, the project will involve experimentation with the design of different form of engagement and democratic participation. The postdocs will be affiliated with world-leading research departments and contribute to researcher groups such as Nature, Environment and Climate (NEC) and Organization and Economy (OREO) at the Department of Anthropology, UCPH.

Qualification Requirements 
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 a relevant disciplinary field.

The candidates will be assessed according to the following qualifications:

• Specialization: The candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. degree in relevant social scientific and/or design fields.
• Qualitative and quantitative methods: Proficiency in conducting qualitative data collection and/or quantitative surveys. 
• Critical analysis and academic writing: The ability to develop critical analysis and produce high-quality academic texts.
• Interdisciplinary collaboration: Candidates should be able to actively participate in collaboration with researchers from other disciplines.
• Workshop and seminar: Experience in conducting workshops and seminars with partners from public and private sectors.
• Excellent english skills: Strong English language skills, both written and spoken.

The position is part of the newly established Daugbjerg Madsen group and focuses on understanding how prediabetic progression induces changes in protein O-glycosylation in the pancreas and how these changes dysregulate pancreatic function during the development of type 2 diabetes.

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

Our research
The Daugbjerg Madsen group aims to understand how compromised protein secretion from endocrine and exocrine cells drives metabolic diseases with a specific focus on protein O-glycosylation. This type of post-translational modification is known to regulate a wide array of cellular processes, including the regulated secretion of hormones and digestive enzymes as well as inflammation. However, little is known about how lifestyle and diet affect the glycosylation process, its downstream roles and ultimately the metabolism, leaving a large void in our understanding of metabolic disease progression.

Our work combines multiplex immunofluorescent staining, spatial ‘omics, intravital subcellular microscopy, mouse models of obesity and/or diabetes, and clinical samples to understand how protein O-glycosylation contributes to the underlying mechanisms of metabolic diseases and whether this serves as a vulnerability that can be targeted in prevalent diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus.

We work in an interdisciplinary setting between metabolism and glycobiology, with exciting new possibilities for intravital microscopy – fluorescence microscopy in live animals to study cellular dynamics in its true setting – in collaboration with the newly established intravital microscopy core. We strive to provide an international environment that values research exchange, mobility, scientific curiosity, and an inclusive working environment. We actively foster teamwork, knowledge sharing, and support early-career researchers in developing independent research profiles.

Your job
As a postdoc in the Daugbjerg Madsen group, your overarching aim is to determine how O-glycans and glycan-binding receptors regulate inflammatory signaling in the pancreas during prediabetes and the early stages of type 2 diabetes.
Your tasks will include:

• Designing and performing experiments on diet-induced mouse models of prediabetes.
• Developing protocols for and applying new spatial multiplex staining workflows.
• Lead collaborative spatial proteomics & transcriptomic analyses.
• Study patient-derived isolated islets from healthy and diabetic donors.
• Perform in vivo studies using intravital microscopy of the pancreas.
• Disseminating results through publications and conference presentations.
• Contributing to the supervision of students and junior researchers in the group.

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

Project background
The VILLUM Investigator project has focus on Plant Transportomics. Transport of metabolites across cellular borders is essential for plant fitness and survival and has proven important in controlling key quality traits in agriculture. Yet, the function of thousands of transporters is largely unknown. As a unconventional idea we use plant extract as substrates. The project aims at creating a first-of-its-kind transportomics database that includes substrate specificity of every transporter in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, thale cress. Moreover, the chemical language of plants will be decoded by mapping the metabolites exuded and the transporters present at the root during stress conditions when intense communication occurs. The knowledge gained and molecular tools generated will have application in sustainable agriculture.

Job description
Glucosinolates in Arabidopsis will be used as a model to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing the transport of defence metabolites from their sites of synthesis to the rhizosphere. This specific project aims to investigate the route of glucosinolate rhizosecretion and its role in plant communication.

Who are we looking for?
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who will take initiative and responsibility, work independently and thrive in a collaborative environment. The candidate we are looking for has the following competencies and experience:

• Experience with Arabidopsis thaliana, plant specialized metabolism, or membrane transporters
• Experience in plant metabolite extraction and analysis, preferably using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
• Experience in integration of multi-omics data
• You have a MSc in biotechnology or related sciences
• You embrace technological challenges
• Excellent English skills, written and spoken.
• Good dissemination skills for internal talks and external community via conferences and publications.

Practical experience with the following techniques is favored but not a necessity

• Analysis of glucosinolates, root exudates, or other plant specialized metabolites
• Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and non-targeted metabolomics
• MS/MS-based metabolite annotation and multivariate data analysis

The position may also include performance of other duties.

The project

Current trends point to an increased use of plant resources in food products due to their supposedly lower environmental impact, while the global demand for milk and dairy products remains high because of their excellent nutritional and functional properties. A possible compromise for this dilemma could be hybrid products, i.e., novel foods that are comprised of both dairy and plant-based components, which could satisfy the nutritional and sensory needs of the consumers while also decreasing the environmental impact of the products.

The project particularly aims at valorising dairy industry side streams for developing novel plant-dairy hybrid foods, and special emphasis will be placed on the process optimisation and structural characterisation of the hybrid matrices.

The postdoc’s duties will include research and dissemination activities as well as teaching and supervision. As part of the BoostDairy project, the postdoc will work in close collaboration with a PhD candidate.

The postdoctoral fellow will be associated to the research group Food Proteins within the section Ingredient and Dairy Technology. Further information on the Department is linked at https://food.ku.dk/english/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Tenure Track Assistant Professor Norbert Raak (nr@food.ku.dk).

The position is open from 01 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The candidate should have documented knowledge and experience within several of the following areas:

• Food and bioprocessing unit operations
• Food structure characterization (e.g., rheology, microscopy, small-angle scattering, etc.)
• Dairy technology
• Plant-based foods
• Design of experiments

In addition, the following qualifications are expected:

• A PhD degree related to the subject area of the position
• Ability to independently conduct research projects
• Documented experience in teaching and supervision of MSc and/or BSc students
• Documented experience in scientific dissemination and communication
• A collaborative mindset
• Excellent English skills

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.

Project description

Our core research interest is how viruses hijack cellular systems. A particular focus on this relates to RNA biology. RNA viruses are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pathogens of our interest include hepatitis viruses, flaviviruses (e.g. tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, and zika virus), alphaviruses (e.g. sindbis, chikungunya) and animal pathogens such as pestiviruses. We have specific interest in virus-host interactions, including RNA interactions that are becoming increasingly important, also as potential therapeutic targets. We recently identified and characterized interactions for several viruses. Much, however, remains to be understood on virus-host interactions during infection, including implications for innate immunity. Recent publications from our group include:

• Larsen, Sherwood, Rivera-Rangel et al. 2026 Nat Comms: “Discovery of 5’ NAD capped viral RNAs reveals evolutionary divergent 5’ metabolite capping across hepaciviruses”
• Damas, Seemann, Costa, Krambrich et al. 2026 PLoS Pathog: “Characterization of the virus-host RNA-RNA interactome across important human pathogenic RNA viruses” (PMID: 42139316)
• Sherwood, Rivera-Rangel et al. 2023 Nature: “Hepatitis C virus RNA is 5'-capped with flavin adenine dinucleotide” (PMID: 37407817)
• Fossat et al. 2023 Cell Rep: “Identification of the viral and cellular microRNA interactomes during SARS-CoV-2 infection” (PMID: 36961814)
• Wolfisberg et al. 2022 Hepatology: “Neutralization and receptor use of infectious culture-derived rat hepacivirus as a model for HCV” (PMID: 35445423)

Your project on virus-host interactions will be defined together with your supervisor, Troels Scheel, and will involve methodology such as virus cultivation, molecular biology assays, functional characterization, translation and replication reporter assays, crosslinking immune-precipitation (CLIP), RNA-seq and related methods. You will be expected to actively participate in method development and development of the project. A high level of motivation, ambition and involvement will be expected.

Principal supervisor is Professor Troels K. H. Scheel, Copenhagen Hepatitis C Program (CO-HEP), Department of Immunology and Microbiology, tscheel@sund.ku.dk, +45 25122771.

The project

This position focuses on sustainable materials, including fibre-based materials, porous systems, and metals, where structural organisation across scales determines key material properties. The project is carried out in close collaboration with domain experts in LU who formulate scientific questions related to how production conditions and usage influence material performance. The project does not focus on developing new foundation-model architectures, but on understanding, evaluating, and exploiting learned representations for scientific image analysis. The developed methods will be used to investigate how manufacturing and usage affect material structure and performance.

At the University of Copenhagen, the project contributes to RAPTOR through benchmarking, modelling, and analysis. In this context, the successful candidate will develop methods for quantitative structural characterisation of complex materials, with an emphasis on approaches that do not rely exclusively on segmentation. In particular, the work will explore structure-aware representations such as orientation fields and tensor-based descriptors, enabling robust analysis of heterogeneous and fibrous materials, and in close collaboration with the domain experts, the work will focus on identifying what matters from the analysis to inform the domain experts about the material and how the next exeriment should be formed.

The candidate will take part in the development and applications of methods to evaluate how RAPTOR representations perform on relevant analysis tasks, using well-defined benchmarks and comparisons to established approaches. Further, the candidate will take part in the development of concise, interpretable models that relate material structure to key properties, with a focus on robust and practical descriptors. The project will deliver validated analysis methods, benchmark tasks, and structural descriptors, developed in close collaboration with materials scientists and tested on real-world data.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering etc. Applicants should have solid mathematical maturity and an interest in developing, analysing, and evaluating quantitative methods for image-based characterisation of complex structures. Experience with machine learning, image analysis, scientific computing, or data science is advantageous, but the project focuses on understanding, benchmarking, and developing methodology around visual representations rather than on large-scale deep-learning model development.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The project is supervised by Jon Sporring (UCPH), Anders Bjorholm Dahl (DTU), Stephen Hall (LU), and Martin Bech (LU), combining expertise in mathematical image analysis, computer vision, quantitative imaging, X-ray imaging, and materials science. The student will have opportunities to collaborate with researchers at UCPH, DTU, LU, and international imaging infrastructures, and to contribute to open-source research software and datasets.
 

The candidate will join the IMAGE section at the University of Copenhagen, an active research group working on image analysis, computer vision, geometry, computational modelling, and AI. The section is closely connected to QIM, Danish BioImaging, Euro-BioImaging, the Human Organ Atlas, and the Pioneer Centre for AI, providing access to leading imaging infrastructures, large-scale datasets, and broad interdisciplinary collaborations.

IMAGE offers a friendly, collaborative, and informal research environment with close interaction between faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students. We value curiosity, mathematical depth, openness, and teamwork, and provide a supportive setting for developing independent research careers.

The project
Many microorganisms, such as bacteria and cancer cells, exhibit remarkable collective dynamics, often described as "living liquids" or active fluids, and arise due to local internal energy injection. Likeconventional liquids, the macro-scale confinement, or boundaries, of thfluid can control their flow patterns, and the micro-scale behaviour of the microorganisms.  However, many physical systems exist within a deformable environment such as the mucus layers in the body.

As a result, not only does this living liquid get affected by its environment, but it can also reshape its soft surroundings as a form of mechanoreciprocity. This leads to a range of fascinating phenomena, such as cancer cells invading surrounding extracellular matrix, soil-dwelling bacteria burrowing through sand, and the infection of mucus by pathogenic bacteria. This research project will use computational models to explore the bidirectional relationship between an organism’s motility and its adaptable environment, investigating how microorganisms not only adapt to, but also actively restructure their surroundings.

This application is posted with a corresponding Postdoc position and only one of the positions will be filled.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates interested in biophysical systems and computational physics, with preference for some knowledge about programming.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?
As a newly established research group, we utilize state-of-the-art computational models to study pattern formation in microorganisms. By combining discrete solvers, particularly a particle-based mesoscale hydrodynamic solver known as MPCD, with continuum simulations, we aim to characterize the collective dynamics of biological matter, their hydrodynamic interactions, and their influence on adaptable environments. This multiscale approach enables us to explore active systems that actively restructure their surroundings as effective ecosystem engineers.    

We offer a highly creative and collaborative research atmosphere at the interface between physics, biology and fluid mechanics. Our research facilitates high performance computing facilities and actively encourage cooperation and or collaboration with the researchers who develop the numerical solvers used. The PhD fellowship is given in accordance with Danish legislation and will typically run for 3 years. The salary is set accordingly to Danish Union Contracts which are very competitive within the international academic community.

Introduktion
Som postdoc bliver du en del af projektet ”Know your place: Comparing memories of institutional violence across class” støttet af Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond og ledet af PI Stine Grønbæk Jensen. Projektets overordnede formål er at undersøge betydningen af social klasse for den måde forskellige former for institutionel vold er blevet praktiseret, normaliseret, benægtet eller afsløret - samt hvordan volden efterfølgende erindres og håndteres både blandt tidligere elever/anbragte og på samfundsniveau i en dansk kontekst og hen over tid. Dette sker gennem en sammenligning af, hvordan klassespecifikke idealer og forventninger kommer til udtryk i erindringer fra henholdsvis elitære kostskoler (som f.eks. Herlufsholm eller Sorø Akademi) og kostskoler / skolehjem / opholdssteder for børn og unge fra socialt marginaliserede familier (som f.eks. Godhavn, Solgården, Solhaven eller Havregården).

Projektets postdoc skal undersøge, hvordan institutionel vold repræsenteres i fiktions- og erindringslitteratur fra de to institutionstyper. Gennem kortlægning og analyse af kostskole- og institutionslitteraturen i en dansk og evt. skandinavisk kontekst, identificeres og teoretiseres tilbagevendende motiver i skildringerne af klasse og institutionel vold, samt de betydninger og affekter volden og de implicerede aktører tillægges hen over tid.

I projektet tilgås skønlitteratur og erindringslitteratur som medier for kulturel erindring forstået bredt som fælles forestillinger om fortiden. Samtidig lægges der vægt på litteraturens potentiale for både at stabilisere bestemte versioner af fortiden og synliggøre det glemte eller fortrængte.

Du bliver del af Sektion for Pædagogik, som beskæftiger sig med teoretiske studier og empirisk forankrede analyser af pædagogik i dens praktiske, institutionelle, faglige og videnskabelige former. Sektionen er en del af Institut for Kommunikation. Instituttet huser ca. 80 VIP‑ansatte, 40 ph.d.-studerende, 20 postdocs, 40 deltidsundervisere, 11 administrative medarbejdere og 2200 studerende.

Stillingsindhold
Som postdoc vil dine primære arbejdsopgaver omfatte:

• Design og gennemførelse af en selvstændig undersøgelse samt bidrag til det samlede forskningsprojekt.
• Deltagelse i projektmøder – både internt og med projektets advisory board.
• Bidrag til planlægning og gennemførelse af forskningsseminarer og faglige sessioner ved internationale konferencer.
• Et 2-måneders forskningsophold med fokus på kulturel erindring ved Nottingham Trent University tilknyttet Professor i History & Mediestudier Jenny Wüstenberg.
• Udarbejdelse af videnskabelige artikler og publicering i fagfællebedømte tidsskrifter.
• Bred formidling af projektets resultater, fx gennem kronikker i danske aviser og deltagelse i podcasts.
• Aktiv deltagelse i forskningsmiljøet ved Sektion for Pædagogik og Institut for Kommunikation, herunder seminarer, faglige møder og fælles udviklingsaktiviteter.

Kvalifikationskrav 
Ansættelse som postdoc forudsætter forskningsmæssige kvalifikationer, der mindst svarer til, hvad der kan opnås gennem tilfredsstillende gennemført ph.d.-uddannelse inden for pædagogik, litteraturvidenskab, kulturstudier, erindringsstudier eller beslægtede fagområder.

Ansøgere vil primært blive vurderet på deres forskningskvalifikationer, herunder deres publikationer, evne til at gennemføre selvstændig forskning og indgå i tætte forskningssamarbejder. Desuden vurderes ansøgers forskningsplan og forskningspotentiale i relation til det konkrete projekt som beskrevet ovenfor.

Det betragtes som en fordel, hvis ansøgeren tidligere har anvendt skønlitteratur i forskningssammenhænge som afsæt for at forstå kulturelt og historisk forankrede værdier, magtforhold og identiteter i relation til klasse, køn, institutioner eller vold.

I vurderingen vægtes et tydeligt potentiale for at kunne udvikle originale teoretiske perspektiver samt for at kunne levere forskningspublikationer af høj kvalitet i peer-reviewed tidsskrifter.

Da projektets empiriske materiale overvejende er dansk, er det et krav at ansøger kan læse og skrive dansk.

Derudover lægges vægt på udviklingspotentialet i din forskningsplan, dokumenteret aktiv deltagelse i forskningsmiljøer og din videnskabelige bredde og dybde i henhold til stillingens faglige profil.

Københavns Universitet har etableret en ny fælles administrativ organisering, som fortsat implementeres. Det indebærer løbende forandringer og udvikling af bl.a. arbejdsgange og samarbejdsflader

Københavns Universitet er Danmarks største universitet og nyder international anerkendelse. Vores ansatte er ildsjæle, der er dedikeret til livslang viden og læring.

HR på Københavns Universitet er organiseret i tre HR-centre og en koncernenhed, der er tilknyttet den fælles universitetsadministration.

I HR Jura Søndre søger vi nu en skarp jurist, som har lyst til at rådgive ledere og bistå gode kollegaer med mange alsidige og spændende opgaver på det personalejuridiske område.

Dine opgaver

Kerneopgaven for dig som personalejurist på universitetet er selvstændigt at rådgive ledere på alle niveauer på det ansættelsesretlige område om fx:  

• Håndtering af syge-, performance- og adfærdssager
• Håndtering af krænkelsessager
• Håndtering af klagesager
• Stillingsstrukturen på universitet
• Større processer i forbindelse med uansøgt afsked

Herudover rådgiver og understøtter du dine kollegaer i HR-centrets administration, HR-udviklingspartnere og kollegaerne på det internationale område. Opgaven omfatter bl.a. oplæg af juridisk og processuel karakter og anden bistand til kompetenceudvikling samt sparring i konkrete sager og henvendelser. Der er også konkret juridisk sagsbehandling på det forvaltningsretlige- og databeskyttelsesretlige område m.m.

Udover de generelle ansættelsesretlige regler i staten gælder der et helt særligt regelsæt for rekruttering og ansættelse af videnskabeligt personale på universiteterne i Danmark (stillingsstrukturen), som vi i HR rådgiver lederne om. Hvis du ikke allerede kender reglerne, vil det være noget af det første, vi vil hjælpe dig med at få kendskab til.

Du vil få mulighed for både at arbejde med den brede personalejura og nørde lidt mere i udvalgte specialområder. Du vil også få mulighed for at deltage i forskellige vidensgrupper og sparre på tværs med de øvrige HR-centre Nørre og Frederiksberg+ samt koncern HR. I HR Søndre har vi i samarbejde med de øvrige juridiske enheder i HR opstartet et spændende projekt om compliance på HR-området. 

Vi tilbyder et alsidigt job med gode udviklingsmuligheder

Hos os vil du få et job med mange udviklingsmuligheder – både fagligt og personligt.

Som personalejurist og rådgiver er du typisk fremme i front af HR-centrenes løsninger og kommunikationen af disse. Men der er også plads til at være den kollega, der arbejder med at sikre den juridiske opdatering og understøtte compliance, så vi som samlet enhed leverer den højeste kvalitet.

På Københavns Universitet bliver du en del af en af Danmarks største HR-organisationer med knap 250 HR-medarbejdere, hvoraf vi er godt 60 medarbejdere på Søndre Campus. Vi lægger vægt på, at vi er en del af et større og rigtig godt samarbejde med kollegaerne fra de to andre HR-centre og koncern HR.

Vores enhed - HR Jura på Søndre Campus - består af tre teams, som udover jurateamet omfatter området Faculty VIP (videnskabeligt personale – professorer, lektorer mv.) og et datateam.

Vi understøtter og rådgiver ledelsen og enhederne på Det Juridiske Fakultet, Det Humanistiske Fakultet, Det Samfundsvidenskabelige Fakultet og Det Teologiske Fakultet.

På HR Søndre tilbyder vi:

• En faglig spændende og varieret opgaveportefølje
• Indblik i universitetsverdenen og de særlige rammer herfor
• Rammer for kvalificeret rådgivning af videnskabelige og administrative ledere
• Meget velfungerende teams med fokus på det gode kollegaskab og det gode humør

De fysiske rammer på Søndre Campus er attraktive, og vi ligger på Campus ved Islands Brygge, hvor også studerende og forskere har deres daglige gang. Du vil derfor blive en del af den specielle stemning på et universitet.

Vi har fleksible arbejdsvilkår og mulighed for hjemmearbejde.

Og så er der i øvrigt massageordning, gratis parkering og metro lige ved siden af Campus.

Om dig

Du er uddannet cand.jur., cand.merc.jur. eller lignende. Du har erfaring inden for det ansættelsesretlige område – fx fra den offentlige sektor. Vi ser også meget gerne en ansøgning fra dig, hvis dine erfaringer er opnået fra det private. Det er en stor fordel, hvis du har kendskab til universitetsverdenen og det forvaltningsretlige område.

Du leverer høj kvalitet og forstår samtidig, at det er afgørende at levere god og hurtig rådgivning til vores kunder. Du er en dygtig formidler i skrift og tale, og du kan anvende engelsk som arbejdssprog. 

Som erfaren personalejurist vil du hurtigt få mulighed for at arbejde selvstændigt og varetage specialområder, og dine kolleger vil hjælpe dig godt på vej den første tid.

Vi forventer, at du:

• Er løsningsorienteret
• Har fokus på den gode balance mellem compliance og organisationens behov
• Evner at kunne håndtere flere opgaver på én gang
• Tager ansvar for egne sager, sikrer fremdrift og følger dine opgaver helt til dørs
• Har forståelse for de mennesker, der er i spil, når vi løser vanskelige sager
• Sparrer og videndeler med dine kolleger
• Bidrager til trivsel og det gode fællesskab

Dine løn- og ansættelsesforhold

Du vil blive ansat som fuldmægtig, specialkonsulent eller chefkonsulent efter gældende overenskomst mellem Skatteministeriet og Akademikere i staten (AC-overenskomsten) eller anden relevant overenskomst afhængig af din erfaring og dine kompetencer. Der er mulighed for forhandling af tillæg på baggrund af dine kvalifikationer.

Den ugentlige arbejdstid er gennemsnitligt 37 timer, men vi er imødekommende overfor ønsker om en ugentlig arbejdstid på færre timer.

Her kommer du til at arbejde

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.

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.

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 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.

The applicant will be assessed according to the Ministerial Order no. 242 of 13 March 2012 on the Appointment of Academic Staff at Universities.

The University of Copenhagen wish to reflect the diversity of society and encourage all qualified candidates to apply regardless of personal background.

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. 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, you must either have a master’s degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (two years) or as minimum a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree (three years) and be assessed as having professional qualifications at master's level.

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

About the project

Avant-Courts - Decentring Legal Power: Avantgarde Courts at the Frontiers of the Global Economy

The project is led by Professor Mikael Rask Madsen and investigates the transformation of the global legal order caused by the rise of new hybrid courts at the frontiers of the global economy. It focuses on jurisdictional battles and legal knowledge exchanges between Western courts and new challengers, analysing how new litigation hubs are disrupting traditional legal institutions. The project starts out by examining avantgarde courts in three distinct legal spaces: new economic spaces, outer space, and virtual spaces. Other empirical sites may also be considered.

The postdoc projects are expected to contribute to Avant-Courts’ exploration of virtual courts or space adjudication. We, however, also welcome applications that develop projects that explores adjacent fields of international and transnational adjudication to those identified by Avant-Courts.

Any applications or additional material submitted after the deadline will not be considered. However, changes may be made to the submitted application right up until the deadline.

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).

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.
