Attention: The position will take place at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) in Copenhagen, Denmark (1 year) and at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) in Barcelona, Spain (1 year). The employment at the University of Copenhagen covers both years, with a ‘transfer of place of duty’ to ICN2 in the second year, and you are expected to relocate to Spain.

The position is one of the open positions in the CAPeX Pioneer Center. CAPeX is a 13-year and 300 MDKK “Pioneer Center for Accelerating P2X Materials Discovery”, funded by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science, the Danish National Research Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, and the Villum Foundation. CAPeX is hosted by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and co-hosted by Aalborg University (AAU), and unites leading experts from DTU, AAU, University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, and the University of Southern Denmark with international partners from Stanford University, Utrecht University, and the University of Toronto to form a truly Pioneering Center on P2X. You can read more about the CAPeX research themes and X-trails, our organization, and the other open PhD and postdoc cohort positions at http://www.capex-p2x.com.

Project: The project is part of the X3 trail of CAPeX, “Sustainable Commodity and Specialty Chemicals”, led by ICN2-supervisor Professor Maria Escudero Escribano. New chemical processes are needed for the sustainable production of commodity chemicals in a post-fossil society. Electrochemical selective oxidation reactions, such as propene oxidation and propylene oxidation, play a key role in sustainable synthesis. By enabling controlled activation of reactants and intermediates, the reaction pathways can be steered toward desired products; however, for sufficiently selective and efficient processes, we need a better understanding of the catalytic mechanisms.

Your duties will include catalyst design and development, synthesis of electrocatalyst materials, in-situ and ex-situ materials characterization, electrochemical testing and product quantification, and data treatment.  Focus will be on the mechanistic investigation of reaction pathways on model catalyst systems, and in-situ spectroscopic techniques, e.g., FTIR, in-situ Raman, and including electrochemistry – mass spectrometry.

The Experimental Particle Physics group at Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, is recruiting two associate professors starting on January 1st, 2027. Both positions are fixed term for 4 years. The successful candidates will join the NBI research group working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN and are expected to take leading roles and secure continuity of the group’s ongoing activities towards the upgrade of the ATLAS detector for the upcoming High-Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). In this respect, the groups responsibilities towards ATLAS are twofold:

Contribution to the construction, integration, and commissioning of the new all-silicon inner tracker, ITk. The NBI group has responsibility for quality testing of a sizeable fraction of silicon sensor modules for the end-cap section of the ITk strip detector. Over the period of the employment, the effort is expected to gradually evolve from the module testing in our local clean-room facility towards significant contributions towards the integration, installation, and commission of the ITk detector at CERN.

Design, employment, and commissioning of the upgrade trigger and data acquisition (TDAQ) system for the handling of the increased HL-LHC data rates. The upgrade TDAQ system entails two level: Level-0 and Event Filter. For both, NBI is involved at leading level in the development, testing, and deployment, using hardware solutions such as FPGAs and GPUs, respectively. A focus, with a NBI leading role, is the Event Filter Tracking project, aiming at high performance real-time reconstruction of charged particle trajectories. 

Qualifications

Så er et internship på Universitetshospitalet for Familiedyr måske det helt rigtige næste skridt for dig i din karriere.

Stillingerne er en fuldtidsansættelse på tre år. Efter de første to år, hvor du – ud over klinisk arbejde – deltager aktivt i journal clubs, workshops, morbidity & mortality rounds m.m., modtager du et internship-certifikat, som bl.a. kan bruges til at søge et residency i Danmark eller udlandet. Vi forventer, at du er ambitiøs og topmotiveret og har lyst til at investere ekstra tid i både din personlige og faglige udvikling. Til gengæld lover vi dig en stejl læringskurve og muligheden for at udvikle dig til en virkelig dygtig allround-dyrlæge.

Din hverdag hos os bliver varieret og spændende med mange akutte patienter – døgnet rundt. Det kræver, at du trives i et miljø, hvor du aldrig helt ved, hvad der kommer ind ad døren. Ud over akutarbejdet får du rotationer i almen kirurgi og almen medicin, og der vil også være mulighed for at indgå i vores afdeling for intern medicin. Du kommer derudover til at arbejde tæt sammen med hospitalets specialafdelinger inden for kirurgi, neurologi, onkologi, kardiologi, anæstesi og billeddiagnostik – og du vil møde mange af disse patienttyper både i skadestuen og i vagterne.

Da både dyrlægestuderende og veterinærsygeplejerskeelever er med døgnet rundt, skal du kunne lide at undervise og supervisere dem i deres kliniske træning.

Dit vagtplan vil omfatte dag-, aften- og nattevagter på hverdage, weekender og helligdage. Over en 9-ugers periode vil du som udgangspunkt have 2 uger med aftenvagter, 2 uger med nattevagter samt vagt hver 3. weekend. Fra midt på aftenen og om natten er du den eneste dyrlæge på hospitalet, mens du i dagtimerne i weekender og helligdage arbejder sammen med en kollega fra klinikdyrlægeteamet. I vagterne har du ansvaret for både indlagte og akutte patienter, og du modtager desuden akutte henvisninger fra praktiserende dyrlæger. Du har altid mulighed for telefonisk sparring med en af vores erfarne bagvagter.

Vi forventer, at du har gode samarbejdsevner og er en fleksibel teamplayer – også når akut sygdom hos en kollega betyder, at vagter skal omfordeles med kort varsel.

Ansættelsen kræver dansk autorisation som dyrlæge og er omfattet af dentil enhver tid gældende overenskomst mellem Skatteministeriet og AC/Den Danske Dyrlægeforening. Det er en fordel, hvis du har praksiserfaring særligt med akutarbejde, men vi vil også meget gerne høre fra dig uden erfaring, som tænker, at ovenstående beskrivelse er netop det afsæt, du gerne vil have for din dyrlægekarriere.

Send din ansøgning og relevante bilag senest den 26. juni 2026 23:59 CEST.

Dokumentation for dyrlægeautorisation skal vedlægges. Kun elektroniske ansøgninger kommer i betragtning. Samtaler afholdes løbende.

Har du spørgsmål, er du velkommen til at kontakte Hospitalschef Merete Holst Nissen på 40473587 eller på mail mehn@sund.ku.dk

Vi glæder os til at høre fra dig!

Stillingen omfatter planlægning og gennemførelse af MUS og GRUS samtaler samt løbende dialog og mødeaktivitet med henblik på at understøtte trivsel, faglig udvikling og en hensigtsmæssig organisering af arbejdet. En vigtig del af stillingen er koordination og udvikling af faglige aktiviteter for klinikdyrlægegruppen herunder et særligt fokus på indholdet og den fortsatte udvikling af hospitalets internship program i samarbejde med hospitalsdyrlægerne, internship program director og hospitalschefen.

Den ledende hospitalsdyrlæge har et overordnet ansvar for planlægning og koordinering af bemanding, arbejdstider og rotationsstrukturer for klinikdyrlægegruppen. I dette arbejde indgår et kontinuerligt fokus på sammenhængen mellem hospitalets undervisningsforpligtelser, arbejdsmiljømæssige hensyn og driftsmæssige behov

Stillingen indebærer desuden varetagelse og faglig og administrativ koordinering af tværgående bidrag til drifts- og udviklingsopgaver, deltagelse i relevante udvalg og mødefora, udarbejdelse af dagsordener, referater og opfølgning på beslutninger samt udarbejdelse af løbende analyser til brug for ledelsen.

Den ledende hospitalsdyrlæge fungerer som stedfortræder for hospitalschefen ved fravær.

Der vil for den rette kandidat være veterinærfaglige og ledelsesfaglige kompetenceudviklingsmuligheder.

Der vil være mulighed for at indgå i hospitalets driftsbagvagtsordning.

Kvalifikationer

Vi søger en kandidat med en stærk veterinærfaglig baggrund og solid klinisk erfaring, som har interesse for og erfaring med administrative og ledelsesmæssige opgaver i en kompleks faglig matrix organisation. Der lægges vægt på faglighed, ledelseserfaring, gode samarbejdsevner, organisatorisk overblik og evnen til at arbejde struktureret og selvstændigt i et miljø, hvor uddannelse, forskning, 24/7 drift og udvikling er tæt forbundne.

Erfaring med personaleledelse og administrative processer vil være en fordel ligesom dokumenterede veterinærfaglige (f.eks. fagdyrlæge eller master) og/eller ledelsesfaglige postgraduate kvalifikationer vil blive vægtet positivt.

Ansættelsesvilkår

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

The Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, is offering a 3-year fixed-term position as Associate Professor in Endocrine Physiology and Behavior commencing November 15th, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

https://www1.bio.ku.dk/english/research/cell-neurobiology/

Description of position
The successful applicant will combine expertise in genetics, cell biology and the endocrine control of behavior and metabolism in Drosophila. One major aspect of the position will focus on interorgan communication and the mechanisms by which animals sense and adapt to changing nutritional, metabolic, physiological, and environmental conditions. In particular, the position will investigate signaling between adipose tissue, muscle, gut, glia, and the nervous system, with an emphasis on how endocrine and metabolic signals coordinate behavior, metabolism, exercise adaptation, and organismal physiology. The successful applicant will explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing hormone and peptide production, secretion, trafficking, and receptor-mediated signaling between tissues, as well as how these pathways influence neuronal activity, metabolic homeostasis, and adaptive physiological responses.

Another major component of the position involves the analysis of Drosophila behaviors and metabolic phenotypes, including sleep, feeding, locomotion, exercise adaptation, energy balance, and metabolic flexibility using high-throughput assays. Behavior and metabolism are tightly linked through hormonal signaling pathways, in which factors released from peripheral tissues act on target cells in distant organs through cognate receptor systems, ultimately altering neuronal activity, systemic physiology, and behavioral output. We are currently conducting several large-scale functional screens investigating circulating factors, exerkines, and their downstream target cells, including neurons and glia, and we aim to expand these efforts into comprehensive multi-endpoint in-vivo screening platforms integrating behavioral, physiological, and metabolic readouts. The successful applicant will participate actively in these projects and contribute to the development of innovative experimental approaches for studying systemic signaling, tissue crosstalk, and adaptive physiology.

The primary duty of the successful applicant will be research, along with teaching at the undergraduate and Master’s levels, as well as supervision and mentoring of bachelor’s and Master’s students in the laboratory.

Profile and Qualifications
We are seeking highly motivated candidates with expertise in using Drosophila as a model system for studying interorgan communication, endocrinology, metabolism, physiology, and behavior. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in how systemic signals coordinate behavioral and physiological adaptation to changing environmental and metabolic conditions.

Within these areas, the successful applicant should have documented experience with:

• advanced imaging of living and fixed samples together with quantitative image analysis, including development or implementation of custom analysis pipelines when existing tools are insufficient;
• the design, implementation, and quantitative analysis of behavioral and physiological assays, including development of assay hardware, automated tracking approaches, and analysis pipelines for high-throughput datasets;
• transcriptomic, proteomic, and other systems-level approaches for studying endocrine and metabolic signaling pathways;
• generation and application of transgenic tools for imaging, manipulation, and functional analysis of neuronal, glial, and endocrine signaling pathways;
• integrative approaches combining behavior, physiology, metabolism, and cell biology to investigate systemic signaling and tissue crosstalk.

The successful applicant will:

• Hold a Ph.D. in Biology or a related field and have substantial postdoctoral experience;
• Have a substantial publication record in leading international, peer-reviewed journals;
• Have documented experience in delivering high-quality teaching at undergraduate and/or graduate level, including the ability to reflect on and develop their own teaching practice;
• Have completed, or be willing to complete, formal pedagogical training or possess equivalent qualifications (e.g., at the level of the University of Copenhagen’s teacher training program).

Assessment of applicants
The assessment will primarily consider (1) the candidate’s level of original scientific output at the  international level, (2) his or her scientific profile in relation to ongoing research at the section, and (3) documented teaching and mentoring experience. Contributions to external funding will also be considered.

General criteria apply to the appointment of associate professors at the University of Copenhagen. The criteria (research, teaching, Innovation & societal impact, organizational contribution and leadership) are considered as a framework for an overall assessment of the applicant. In addition, each applicant will be assessed according to the specific requirements listed in this advertisement.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc for a 3-year position from 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible hereafter, to join the DETECT project funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark, as well as the CoAStaL NLP research group.

About the Project and Research Environment

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in legal question-answer contexts. It is now well known that answers may contain noise, for example, in the form of so-called hallucinations. To ensure more accurate and trustworthy answers for legal questions, LLMs have been coupled to legal knowledge databases, enabling so-called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. While commercial providers of RAG systems in law claim they are hallucination- free, recent research has documented that this is not the case. DETECT aims to develop knowledge on how legal RAG systems can be made more trustworthy, not by eliminating noise, but by making (potential) noise in answers visible to users of these systems. The project will seek to detect the origin of generated text (model or knowledge base) and to make the origin visible to users, thereby also ensuring compliance with transparency and human control requirements in the AI Act.

CoAStaL is a collective, open research culture that prizes diversity, friendliness, and life-work balance. Our team spans five continents and varied worldviews; we treat these differences as a source of learning and strength. Projects are open for everyone to join, ideas are shared freely, and we foster inclusion, engagement, trust, and respect—aiming to be not just a top research group but the friendliest in the top. We value ambition without ego-attachment: celebrate progress, learn from failures, and keep “shooting for the next deadline.” The result is a supportive environment with strong mentoring, shared infrastructure, and an international network of collaborators and visitors.

Further information:

• Department of Computer Science: http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/
• Faculty of Law: https://jura.ku.dk/english/about/

Your Job

You will conduct independent and collaborative research within NLP and law, contributing to one or more of the project’s work packages. The position also includes limited teaching responsibilities. You are expected to actively participate in research activities across both departments and engage with international collaborators.

Profile

University of Copenhagen

Natural History Museum Denmark invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in thermodynamic modelling of alkaline magmas. The project is part of the research project ‘Crystallization of Rare Earth Element Minerals’, which is led by Curator of Petrology Kristoffer Szilas, and financed by Independent Research Fund Denmark.

Start date is expected to be October 1st 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

Greenland holds a significant untapped potential for sourcing much of Europe’s future metal needs for the green energy transition. The Gardar Proveince of South Greenland is in particular exceptionally prospective for the highly critical rare earth elements. This PhD project will apply thermodynamic modelling to alkaline magmas with the aim of improving our understanding of the why the Gardar Province is so enriched in rare earth elements. This PhD project will carry out a detailed examination of the alkaline rocks from the Gardar Province using our comprehensive collections at the Natural History Museum Denmark. By modelling the interplay between the mantle source region, melting conditions, and crustal assimilation, the overall goal of this project is to determine the key stages in the evolution of the Gardar Province, and the specific mechanisms that led to the crystallization of critical metal-bearing minerals.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the fields of geology and geochemistry with a strong background in petrology. Previous experience with thermodynamic modelling is considered essential, as this will be the core of this research project.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

Introduction
This research centre extends across the Faculties of Health and Medical Sciences, Natural Science and Theology at University of Copenhagen (https://teol.ku.dk/Forskning/afd/center-for-videnskab-og-tro/). The Centre investigates interactions between scientific knowledge and faith commitments, with focus on human health and ecology. The postdoc position is affiliated with the research project MEVIN, sponsored by the NOVO Nordic Foundation 2026-30, investigating novel milk supplements for preterm infants and the associated humanistic values in research practices.

The postdoctoral position aims to examine how meaning, personal passion and existential orientations are produced across the translational chain from chemical milk research, to animal models and infants in neonatal intensive care units. The project explores how parents and three groups of researchers (in vitro milk chemists, animal model researchers, clinical researchers) make decisions and navigate questions of personal engagement, passion and existential hope related to difficulties related to birth and pediatric care. We use concept analyses, mixed-method designs in quantitative surveys, and phenomenological in-depth interviews to assess uncertainties and existential dimensions of faith in milk, animal and infant research. Together with scientific data, such tacit knowledge (faith commitments) may be important for parents, researchers and clinicians, when striving to implement of new treatments for infants. 

Duties and Responsibilities
The researcher’s duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regards to publication and scientific communication. A candidate in theology, philosophy, sociology or anthropology, or a related field, with specific insights into health, food or animal/infant research is preferred. To a limited degree, the position may also include other duties, including administration and teaching.

The research environment
The Faculty of Theology is dedicated to fostering a workplace culture grounded in diversity, inclusion, and equity. We strive to offer a supportive environment for researchers at every stage of their careers, emphasizing both work–life balance and equitable access to career development opportunities.

Qualification Requirements and Assessment Criteria

Our research/The group

The focus of the Grønbæk group is Translational Haematology. The group is affiliated with Biotech Research and Innovation centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen and Rigshospitalet (Central Copenhagen University Hospital).

Our overall aim is to understand the molecular mechanisms of haematological cancers, and based on this; to design, develop and implement novel, scientifically based, clinical trials, with a strong focus on epigenetic therapies. This is done by bridging between clinical research at Rigshospitalet and the basic cancer biology research at BRIC, and in international collaborations with, among others, the van Andel Research Institute, Michigan, USA and the Nordic MDS study group.

Our location at the Copenhagen Biocentre/BRIC provides optimal conditions for interaction with the basic scientists at BRIC. The group currently consists of 14 scientists, MD/scientists and students, one clinical research coordinator, 1 research nurse and 2 biomedical laboratory scientists.

The project: Deciphering the Mechanistic Links Between Obesity, Clonal Haematopoiesis and Myeloid Neoplasms.

The current position is part of a joint project ‘Deciphering the Mechanistic Links Between Obesity, Clonal Haematopoiesis and Myeloid Neoplasms’ together with Professor George Vassiliou, Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom funded by a ‘Molecular Mechanisms Linking Obesity and Cancer (MMLOC)’ grant from the Novo Nordisk foundation, which supports collaborative research projects with the purpose ‘to reverse-translate clinical observations into mechanistic studies that will increase our understanding of how obesity impacts carcinogenesis’.  

Obesity is a global health issue linked to increased risk of cancer, including blood cancers such as myeloid neoplasms (MN). Many MN arise from clonal haematopoiesis (CH)—the abnormal expansion of blood stem cell clones carrying somatic mutations. Haematopoietic stem cells interact with bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT), which increases with obesity, which may fuel CH growth and progression to MN. Epidemiological and genetic studies already suggest obesity accelerates CH, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

This project integrates large-scale population data, clinical trials, and mechanistic mouse studies to investigate these links and explore preventive or therapeutic strategies.

Your job

The project focuses on translational analyses of live frozen human cells from patient bone marrow (BM)/(BMAT) and blood samples from completed and ongoing clinical trials. We are searching for a skilled post doc who is very interactive and enjoys collaborations with other scientists – including younger scientists and clinician scientists.

Your tasks will include:

• Develop and/or analyze screening for disease associated molecular aberrations of both the pre-malignant myeloid cells and the BM microenvironment including genomics, transcriptomics, lipidomics, metabolomics
• Perform molecular techniques including DNA/RNA isolation, PCR, ddPCR, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and DNA methylation.
• Develop and/or perform protein analyses techniques including Western blotting, Mass-spectrometry and ChIP-seq.
• Participate in grant and manuscript writing.
• Present at local and international meetings.
• Introduce lab techniques to new lab members and students
• Collaborate with both scientists and clinicians

Our research
The Brickman group is interested in the transcriptional basis for cell fate choice, exploring both fundamental mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by signaling and how gene regulatory networks define cell potency and fate in development and differentiation.  We focus principally on pluripotent stem cells and their differentiation to various types of endoderm as a model system, both embryonic and extra-embryonic.  Our recent work points to new paradigms for how transcription factors regulate enhancer potential and interpret signaling, including the finding that response to MAP kinase (ERK) signaling, plasticity and regeneration in early development is dependent on transcription factor occupancy.  This project will explore how enhancers are activated to regulate embryo regeneration and how transcriptional memory is encoded.  

Job description
We are looking for positions that will focus on different aspects enhancer function and regulation, the interface with signaling and how they are influenced by the cell cycle. As a post doc in the Brickman lab, you will be working in a field of stem cell and molecular biology. You will be part of an international interdisciplinary team of scientists focusing on understanding enhancer regulation, gene regulatory networks and exploiting these networks to develop new technologies for cell type specification in vitro.  We work with in vivo and in vitro systems in both mouse and human. For this project, you will work with stem cell-based embryo models, mouse embryos and perform extensive molecular enhancers.  You will perform next generation sequencing approaches, imaging and exploit the labs computational models for early development.

Our group and research
The group is centered around understanding protein-protein interactions with a focus on PDZ interactions and the function of the synaptic PDZ domain protein PICK1. PICK1 is an attractive molecular target in drug addiction and pain. Using our expertise on PICK1 and PDZ interactions, we developed and patented the first small molecule inhibitors for this type of proteins together with Neurosearch A/S (Thorsen*, Madsen* et al PNAS 2010). We subsequently solved the PICK1 structure (Karlsen et al, Structure, 2015) and developed a novel quantitative method for assessing binding of scaffold proteins to membrane proteins in their native membrane environment (Erlendsson...Madsen, eLife, 2019). Together, these efforts have enabled the rational design and patenting of bivalent, high-affinity inhibitors to potently target PICK1 in pain and addiction. Inhibition of PICK1 is unique in the sense that it selectively targets the hyperexcitable transmission characterizing these pathologies without affecting overall transmission (Christensen...Madsen, EMBO Mol. Med., 2020; and Jensen et al, Frontiers in Cell. Neu. 2022). In concordance with the involvement of PICK1 in addiction, we have demonstrated that iv administration of the PICK1 inhibitor reduces cocaine craving in a rat model of reinstatement (Turner et al, Neuropharm, 2020). We have refined the development of a small dimeric peptide and virally expressed inhibitors of PICK1 and their effect in mouse models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain (Jensen et al, JCI Insight, 2024 and Noes-Holt et al, BioRxiv, 2023 – in revision for Cell Reports Medicine). Both Manuscripts have led to IDFs and subsequent patent applications (P5521EP00 and P5457EP00) and the establishment of the spin-out company Zyneyro.

In a parallel effort, we discovered a regulatory role of PICK1 in maturation of dense core vesicles in the pituitary and pancreatic beta-cells (Holst*, Madsen* et al, Plos Bio, 2013). This has led us to the subsequent identification of a functional role of PICK1 in the storage/release machinery in neurons and chromaffin cells. We followed these findings up describing the molecular mechanism by which PICK1 is recruited to lipid membranes of high curvature (Herlo…Madsen, Cell Reports, 2018) and showing the translational relevance of these findings by describing 4 coding variants in PICK1 identified in patients with type 2 diabetes that modulate insulin processing in beta-cells (Andersen et al, JCI, 2022). Work performed in collaboration with Christoffer Clemmensen has most recently demonstrated the s.c. administration of the PICK1 inhibitor provides weight reduction in Diet Induced Obese mice (Science Adv. 2024).

We are currently combining omics approaches with intravital microscopy to characterize and understand the molecular mechanism underlying the potent effect of inhibiting the target proteins PICK1 in peripheral neurons in neuropathic pain models and obesity. Furthermore, we use whole-brain cFOS light sheet microscopy and a novel analytical tool together with neurotransmitter biosensors and systems neuroscience approaches to untangle the interoceptive (Brain-body communication) aspects following from inhibition of PICK1 in these conditions.

Project description
Obesity prevalence has doubled over the past 30 years, substantially compromising quality of life and imposing a major burden on global economies. Although highly effective incretin-based anti-obesity treatments are currently available, they remain imperfect, as they are associated with significant loss of lean mass in addition to fat mass, as well as adverse effects such as nausea. We have identified the scaffolding protein PICK1 as a novel therapeutic target; its inhibition using a bivalent peptide has shown promising anti-obesity effects. Notably, this treatment does not induce lean mass loss or nausea. The present project aims to achieve a deeper understanding of PICK1 biology in sensory neurons and its relation with adipose tissue, with a particular focus on obesity-related differences, with the ultimate goal of improving current anti-obesity therapies.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a 3-year PhD-fellowship commencing November 1st, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. The PhD-fellowwill work with paired host-microbiome data to develop and validate models for evolutionary and ecological hologenomics at the Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics, GLOBE Institute, University of Copenhagen.

Our group and research
The Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation to develop and implement state of the art ‘omics and associated computational techniques, to address through experimental and theoretical research, four key themes underscoring life on earth. Specifically, these are: What is the relationship between a host’s genome and the functional and taxonomic makeup of its associated microbial metagenome? Does this relationship explain ongoing ecological and evolutionary processes in the host? Could this relationship provide an alternate explanation to some of life’s big transitions? And, how have we humans exploited this relationship? The Centre is embedded within the GLOBE Institute, that is part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen.

Project description
Over the last decade, research has highlighted the critical role that host-associated microbiomes play in the different biological processes of the host. There has been increasing interest in studying how the microbiome, specifically the interplay between the host and the microbiome, has shaped the evolution of the host-microbiome meta-organism. This project will develop computational techniques and statistical models to understand the ecological and phylogenetic factors playing a role in the evolution of the host-microbiome systems. The project will use the vast number of paired host and microbiome samples collected as part of the Earth Hologenome Initiative, led by Assoc. Prof. Antton Alberdi. The metagenomics sequencing data from these samples will be used to validate the models, and derive insights into the evolutionary and ecological processes shaping the co-evolution of the host genomes and their associated microbiomes at different levels in the tree of life. The student is expected to both develop the computational models and pipelines, and apply them to this data to get insights drivers of host-microbiome evolution. This PhD fellowship will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Shyam Gopalakrishnan and Assoc. Prof. Antton Alberdi.

The fellow will join the soon to be established Vaccine Platforms Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Initiative for Vaccines and Immunity (NIVI) Research Center, which is embedded in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.

Background

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Initiative for Vaccines and Immunity (NIVI), launched in December 2023, has a unique mission to harness airway immunity through innovative vaccine research and development to prevent airborne epidemics. NIVI has two parts:

• NIVI Research Center (NIVI-R): A state-of-the-art research center anchored to the University of Copenhagen, Department of Immunology and Microbiology (www.niviresearch.ku.dk, www.isim.ku.dk).
• NIVI Development (NIVI-D): A company that focuses on translational sciences and advancing vaccine development.

NIVI-R conducts scientific research, while NIVI-D works to quickly turn that research into new vaccine candidates. NIVI-D accelerates clinical trials (phases 1 and 2) and ensures a smooth transition to partners for later stages of development.

By connecting science, innovation, clinical trials, regulatory processes, and product development, NIVI aims to streamline the journey from research to real-world vaccines.

Our research

Our group is part of the NIVI-R interdisciplinary research consortium. We develop structure-guided and computational approaches to understand immune recognition and design next-generation vaccines against respiratory pathogens. Our work integrates cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), cryo-EM-based polyclonal serology (cryo-EMPEM), molecular dynamics simulations, computational protein design, structural biology to define and discover epitopes and engineer improved vaccine antigens. A central question we pursue is how structural and serological insights into antibody recognition can be leveraged to guide the rational design of broadly protective vaccines.

We are a young, international, and collaborative team that values open exchange of ideas, mentorship, and scientific rigor. As part of NIVI, we work in close collaboration with leading groups in airway immunity, vaccine formulation and adjuvants, structural biology, and we benefit from close ties to Statens Serum Institut and to NIVI-D’s translational pipeline. We are committed to an inclusive environment and welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds; we believe diverse teams — across gender, nationality, career stage, and scientific training — do better science.

Your job

We strive to build a cohesive team where each member’s project contributes to a shared mission: understanding immune recognition and engineering next-generation vaccines against respiratory pathogens. As our new postdoctoral fellow, your tasks would include designing and characterizing vaccine antigens and immunogens, analyzing antibody responses using cryo-EM, cryo-EMPEM, and structural serology approaches, contributing to computational and structure-guided protein design efforts, preparing manuscripts, and presenting your work at group meetings, consortium meetings, and international conferences. You will be supported by frequent formal and informal mentoring meetings with the PI, structured around your scientific and professional development goals. It is expected that you will perform an independent research project with a high degree of autonomy in project planning, and that you positively embrace collaborations with other team members on your own project as well as the projects of your colleagues within the group and the broader NIVI ecosystem.

Depending on your background and interests, your project will focus on one or more of the following directions:

1. Structure-guided design of vaccine antigens targeting B-cell and T-cell epitopes on respiratory pathogens.
2. Cryo-EM and cryo-EMPEM analysis of antibody responses to vaccination or infection.
3. Antibody discovery, protein engineering and de novo immunogen design using computational and experimental approaches.
4. Integration of serology, structural biology, and protein design to define correlates of protective mucosal immunity.
5. Development of multivalent, nanoparticle-based, or mRNA-compatible vaccine platforms.

The project, “Aesthetic atmosphere. An investigation in Phenomenological Psychology,” is located at Center for Phenomenological Psychology and Aesthetics at the Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen. The overarching aim of the project is to show how atmospheres, while often vague and fluctuating, influence our affective life. In the PhD subproject, experiences with music will form the empirical basis for the study. The research questions are: 1) How are atmospheres experienced in relation to music? 2) What are the essential characteristics of the experience of musical atmospheres? 3) What are the momentary versus lasting influences of experiencing musical atmospheres? The empirical part of the subproject will be based on qualitative interviews in Denmark. The analyses of the empirical material should be grounded in the descriptive method of phenomenological psychology developed by Amadeo Giorgi to obtain an overview of atmospheric experiences as well as capturing their fine-grained details. This approach must be supplemented with the micro-phenomenological method developed by Claire Petitmengin. The overarching theoretical framework is phenomenological psychology, combined with phenomenological theory on aesthetics, music, and subjectivity. 

The successful candidate will be working closely with the PI and other collaborators, investigating how musical atmospheres influence our affective life. It requires deep theoretical insight and experience with empirical research. The PhD student will conduct in-depth phenomenological interviews in Denmark, developing theoretical models that explain the results, as well as manuscript preparation and publication. This process will include discussions with musicians, psychologists, and phenomenologists.

Your Competencies and Opportunities

• theoretical and empirical experience with phenomenological psychology and aesthetics, including phenomenological interviewing techniques and analysis.
• ability to conduct independent research, to think critically and creatively, and carry out research in a structured manner.
• preferably experience with communicating your research results to external target groups.
• being a skilled communicator in both written and oral English. Oral Danish skills are also necessary since the interviews will be conducted in Denmark.

The full project description can be obtained from Tone Roald, email: Tone.Roald@psy.ku.dk upon request. We recommend that you read the full project description before submitting your application.

We are located in the center of Copenhagen. A high degree of presence at the workplace is expected.

Om os

Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab har en lille stab på seks medarbejdere, der betjener instituttets videnskabelige personale og ledelse, cirka 120 ansatte i alt. Den ene af instituttets to bygninger blev i 2025 ramt af skimmelsvamp og størstedelen af medarbejderne er blevet genhuset på tre lokationer fordelt over Søndre Campus.

Overordnet er genhusningen på plads, men situationen kræver fortløbende praktiske tilpasninger, så driften af instituttet er optimal og medarbejderne oplever en velfungerende arbejdsplads. Vi søger derfor en AC-medarbejder med praktiske, organisatoriske og kommunikative kompetencer, der kan være kontaktperson for alle medarbejdere og som i tæt samarbejde med administrationschefen og campusadministrationen sørger for at de faciliteter, der er på lokationerne, understøtter det daglige arbejde bedst muligt på trods af de midlertidige rammer.

De mange opgaver i forbindelse med genhusningen påvirker desuden alle medarbejdere i staben og vi har derfor også brug for en medarbejder, der kan understøtte de øvrige driftsopgaver på instituttet, der er besværliggjort af genhusning, herunder øvefaciliteterne på musikvidenskab, der kræver særligt vedligehold, og større arrangementer på instituttet, der er udfordret af lokalesituationen.

Helt centralt for stillingen er desuden, at vi står over for en tilbageflytning i løbet af det kommende år, når de skimmelramte bygninger er saneret. Tilbageflytningen kommer til at foregå i samspil med en campusplan, hvor vi skal finde plads til medarbejderne på et mindre areal, fordi flere fakulteter skal flyttes til Søndre Campus. Stillingen indebærer derfor koordinering af tilbageflytningen i tæt samarbejde med ledelse og den centrale driftsenhed, der er ansvarlig for den overordnede campusplan.

Dine arbejdsopgaver omfatter mere konkret;

• Fortløbende understøttelse af driften af instituttets tre lokationer fx sikre, at der er kontorartikler, velfungerende arbejdspladser, køkkenfaciliteter o. lign.
• Ansvar for lokaleplan på de tre lokationer, dvs. have overblik over kontorpladser, både for fastansatte, midlertidigt ansatte og gæster, sikre beslutninger om kontortildelinger samt varetage den praktiske eksekvering af ud og ind af kontorer, indkøb, nøgler, orientering af kollegaer mm.
• Stå for interne flytteprocesser, dels små praktiske flytninger af reoler mm. dels koordinering ved flytning af kontorpladser både med interne aktører i driften og eksterne hvis indkøb og flyttefirma er påkrævet
• Understøttelse af faciliteter på musikvidenskab og sparring med undervisere og den driftsmedarbejder i staben, der er hovedansvarlig for området, dvs. du skal indgå i vedligehold af øvefaciliteter og instrumenter
• Praktisk supportering af arrangementer fra lokalebooking, forplejning og sikre de rette faciliteter
• Tovholder på tilbageflytningsprocessen, der for alvor går i gang i efteråret 2026, herunder medvirke i en arbejdsgruppe omkring udarbejdelse af ny lokaleplan, varetage kontakten til medarbejderne både individuelt og på fællesmøder samt stå for det omfattende koordineringsarbejde både ift. praktisk udførelse og samarbejde med alle aktører.

Dine kompetencer

Vi forestiller os, at du er praktisk anlagt, meget serviceminded og har stærke kompetencer inden for analyse, kommunikation og organisering.

Derudover lægger vi vægt på:

• Du kommer med akademiske kompetencer og har forståelse for og viden om forskere og underviseres arbejdsvilkår og opgaver.
• Du har evnen til at arbejde selvstændigt samt analysere, strukturere og facilitere en stor logistisk opgave med mange aktører
• Du har et praktisk kendskab til øvefaciliteter både digitale og analoge, så du kan gå til hånde i vedligeholdelsesopgaver i instituttets musiklokaler
• Du her erfaring med lignende logistiske opgaver, hvor du har skullet skabe struktur og overblik men også stå for den praktiske eksekvering
• Du er omgængelig med stærke kommunikationsevner, så du både skiftligt og mundtligt kan gå i dialog med de mange forskellige aktører både lokalt, centralt og uden for universitetet og i særlig grad kunne stå for vejledning om alt lige fra pakkemetoder, forsikringsspørgsmål og affaldssortering til proces og tidsrammer.

Det er desuden vigtigt for os, at du er fleksibel og trives i et omskifteligt arbejdsmiljø, hvor hver dag byder på nye opgaver, og at du går til de mange forskelligartede opgaver og samarbejdspartnere med en professionel og imødekommende facon. Du vil blive en del af et lille kollegafællesskab, der har et godt arbejdsmiljø med en uformel omgangstone og et godt blik for hinandens opgaver og trivsel.

Vi tilbyder

En stilling på 30 timer med mulighed for flekstid og en ugentlig hjemmearbejdsdag.

Løn og ansættelsesforhold

Ansættelsen i henhold til gældende overenskomst mellem Finansministeriet og Akademikere i Staten, med indplacering som xx. Der vil være mulighed for forhandling af tillæg efter kvalifikationer. Den ugentlige arbejdstid er gennemsnitligt 37 timer.

Our research
Embedded within the Section of Epidemiology, Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, the Social Magnifier research group focuses on selection in cohort studies and aims to advance methods to account for it. Specifically, the group investigates how socioeconomically skewed participation, that is expected to be magnified by differential attrition with increasing age, risks distorting the understanding of inequalities in health. Another focus area is the impact of incentives to increase participation on selection patterns. The research group is led by Professor Katrine Strandberg-Larsen and funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

SMARTbiomed is a research center with core mission to develop statistical and computational methods focusing on causal inference, risk prediction and machine learning. SMARTbiomed has hubs at Aarhus University, Copenhagen University and University of Oxford that offer a vibrant international community of researchers, providing an exciting environment of collaboration to attract early-career researchers from a wide variety of fields, working as a team towards unified goals. You will be based at the causal inference hub at the Section of Biostatistics, University of Copenhagen, led by Professor Erin Gabriel. SMARTbiomed is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation and the Villum Foundation. Information on the center can be found at: https://smartbiomed.dk/

Your job
You will be a member of and engage in collaboration with the SMARTbiomed Causal Inference and Social Magnifier research environments. Motivated by empirical evidence that participants who remain in cohort studies over time tend to be more socioeconomically advantaged, the Social Magnifier group examines the consequences of selective attrition for the study of social disparities in health as well as methodological strategies to address them. The cohort studies considered combine self-reported data with individual-level register data from the Danish national registers. While register data is available for all individuals invited to participate, self-reported information (e.g., outcomes, exposures and/or confounders) are only observed for participants. Differential non-random self-selection occurs both at the initial enrolment stage and throughout successive waves of data collection. Some studies implement incentives to increase participation. You will develop methodology for learning causal effects in the referent population, leveraging the availability of comprehensive register data. There is also an interest in methods for transporting effects from historic cohorts to contemporary populations.

Your specific tasks will include:

• Conducting research on statistical methods within the areas described above.
• Leading write-up of research manuscripts based on your own work and collaborating on joint research publications. Ensuring, where appropriate, that software outputs are provided to ensure maximum utility.
• Presenting papers at conferences or public meetings.
• Contributing to and supporting the collaborative research infrastructure of the Social Magnifier and SMARTbiomed environments.

You will also be encouraged and mentored to develop new proposals and research initiatives to simultaneously support an individual research profile. Over the course of the position, you will participate in the daily duties of the department, such as teaching at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.

Profile
Essential experience and skills:

• You have a PhD in in Statistics, Biostatistics, or a similar discipline.
• You have strong skills in theoretical methods development.
• You have proficient communication skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively in teams.
• You have excellent English skills written and spoken.

Desirable experience and skills:

Several postdoc positions are available at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH). Each postdoc position is between 1-3 years, and the positions are in collaboration with the company Nanocore.

Do you want to take part in developing the next generation of super materials that will reduce the weight, material usage and carbon emissions for future industrial products?

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) is seeking multiple Postdocs (the postdoctoral candidates will be working in the groups of Prof. Mogens B. Nielsen, Prof. Jørn B. Christensen and Prof. Michael Pittelkow) to drive the scientific advances in a major funded program together with two of the largest and most innovative industrial companies in Denmark, Grundfos and SP Group, and the deep tech materials technology company Nanocore. The project, which is called FUTURPLAST, is supported financially by the Innovation Fund Denmark within the Grand Solutions program.

The project combines advanced material chemistry, polymer science and processing, mechanics of materials and all the way to prototyping in industrial quantities. It is a unique chance to grow as a scientist and at the same time bring your discoveries to use.

ABOUT FUTURPLAST
Global materials use is projected to more than double from 2011 to 2060. More than half of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are related to materials management activities. This must come down. The Danish and European manufacturing industry need to have new competitive materials technologies to face the competition from China and the US and reduce dependencies on imports.

FUTURPLAST will develop a next generation of circular, strong, and light weight materials that will reduce and ultimately replace conventional composites and metals. The materials are based on one of the strongest known fillers, single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT), functionalized with a Danish proprietary technology, LASSO. The CNT will be combined with one of the most common, manufacturable, low CO2 emitting and low-cost polymers, polypropylene (PP) to make a very competitive (strong and light weight) new material.

The work will span across organic and supramolecular chemistry, polymer science and advanced material mechanics combined with Nanocore's scientific staff and industrialisation know-how from two major Danish industrial companies, Grundfos A/S and SP Group for prototyping experiments. The project will develop a CNT/PP material that is competitive with one of the most used engineering plastics, Polyamide, to reduce cost and GHG emissions. The project will also develop a breakthrough CNT/PP composite stronger than carbon fiber composites leading to dramatic material savings.

WHAT WE ARE SEEKING

Postdocs at the University of Copenhagen:
Required qualifications: Solid experience in organic synthesis, macromolecular/intermolecular interactions, or dynamic covalent chemistry.

General qualifications:
For all positions we are seeking bright and open-minded people that are experts within their fields but also have a strong cross-disciplinary scientific interest.

Desired qualifications: Solid experience in wet chemistry, and strong in several of the following areas: i) Materials' mechanical properties and -testing, ii) Polymer science, iii) organic synthesis, v) Macromolecular interactions, vi) Thermodynamics, vii) Polymerization kinetics, viii) Molecular structure-materials property relationship, x) Dynamic covalent bonds, xi) Nanomaterials and nanocomposites, xii) nanomaterials' analysis (e.g. Raman, TEM, SEM, X-Ray).

The postdoc’s duties will include research within organic and materials chemistry as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

Further information on the Department is linked at https://chem.ku.dk/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof. Michael Pittelkow (pittel@chem.ku.dk), Prof. Mogens Brøndsted Nielsen (mbn@chem.ku.dk) or Prof. Jørn B. Christensen (jbc@chem.ku.dk)

Postdoc in 'Effects of acidification on marine phytoplankton and zooplankton”

Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, Marine Biological Section

University of Copenhagen

The project SAFESEA – Safeguarding from acidification: feedbacks and ecosystem services for European and Global action - funded by the EU Horizon offers a 2 year and 2 months post doc position in the effects of acidification on marine plankton organisms. The project is led by Plymouth Marine Laboratories (PML), UK, and involves 11 beneficiaries. The Postdoc will be employed at MBS, located in Helsingør, DK.

Our research

The ocean currently absorbs ~25% of annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This climate service has delayed atmospheric CO2 concentrations from exceeding 500 ppm, buffering global warming. However, this uptake alters the carbonate system, leading to ocean acidification (OA): CO2 reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid, increasing hydrogen ion concentration, lowering pH, and reducing carbonate ion availability. These shifts in carbonate chemistry have cascading consequences for marine organisms, ecosystems, and human societies. OA is no longer a distant threat; impacts are already evident, from disruptions to shellfish hatcheries to broader marine ecosystem change.

Single drivers physiological performance curves are essential for understanding how marine organisms respond to environmental stressors, particularly in the context of OA and its interactions with other drivers. SAFESEA will identify performance curves, critical tipping points, and/or thresholds where performance is most likely to decline or fail. The focus for the post doc will be on phytoplankton and micro-zooplankton with contrasting physiological traits (calcifying, photosynthetic, mixotrophy, symbiotic and heterotrophic). Performance curves will help to assess the optimal pH range for key traits, which can support improving models in the project, and will provide information on levels at which the susceptibility to other drivers might be enhanced. Experimental results and meta-analyses will be used to develop a theoretical framework that integrates performance curves for key physiological traits to predict marine organism responses to pH and other environmental drivers. By combining models and environmental datasets we will project organismal responses to different scenarios of future conditions and identify critical scenarios for experimental validation in later work. Building on the single-driver work, SAFESEA will evaluate the combined effects of multiple environmental drivers on marine organisms, by designing and conducting multi-driver experiments tailored to the specific sites and species studied in the single driver experiments.

Profile

Applicants should hold a PhD degree in a discipline of relevance for the research project. The position is open to both Danish and international applicants. The main criterion for selection will be the research potential of the applicant. Previous experiences in ocean acidification, multi-stressor context, methodological framework development, and experimental work with marine organisms are preferred. Excellent English language skills will be an advantage.

The supervisor will be Professor Per Juel Hansen. An assessment committee will be appointed to evaluate the applications. The final selection of a successful candidate will be made based on the recommendations of the evaluation committee.

The Niels Bohr Institute hosts or has access to excellent facilities for carrying out experimental physics in the following areas:

Astrophysics (including Planetary Sciences, Cosmology, Galactic, and Extragalactic Astrophysics)
Observational astrophysics in Denmark is primarily supported by privileged access to world-class facilities through national memberships of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT). In addition, University of Copenhagen owns the 1,5m Danish telescope at ESO, La Silla. Past Danish investment in astrophysical instrumentation and space infrastructure such as Euclid and the James Webb Telescope allow us to play leadership roles in international collaborations and secure GTO time. The Danish government has recently launched a new space strategy, encouraging Danish astrophysics to contribute. Denmark has made strategic investments in the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and the NBI leads Danish involvement in the ANDES high-resolution spectrograph at the ELT. NBI is associated to the Rubin-LSST and has established a Danish Independent Data Access Center for Rubin. Astrophysics heads the Tycho supercomputer at the faculty of SCIENCE, which provides computational capacity across NBI at an international competitive level, and several research groups have smaller dedicated computational infrastructures. Denmark is a member of the LUMI consortia, with guaranteed computational resources allocated to UCPH, and Denmark is also part EuroHPC. Coordination in astrophysics at a national level is carried out under the umbrella of Instrument centre for Danish Astrophysics.

Biophysics and Biocomplexity
Experimental research in Biocomplexity at NBI addresses mammalian, plant, microbial, and reconstituted biophysical systems through quantitative measurements tightly integrated with theory.

The cell laboratory carries out quantitative experiments on living cells and multicellular systems, focusing on cell mechanics, viscoelasticity, force generation, and collective behavior. Work is based on controlled in-vitro and mammalian and plant cell-culture systems and combines fluorescence, confocal and scattering microscopy, Brillouin microscopy, mechanical perturbations, and quantitative image analysis.

The Center for Optical Bio-Manipulation (COBM) provides shared infrastructure centered on most advanced type of optical bio-manipulation equipment integrated with super resolution (STED) imaging, including optical tweezers, microfluidics, and advanced fluorescence microscopy. These tools enable force application and measurement at micro- and nano-scales, manipulation of biological structures, single molecules and dynamic studies of cells and soft biological matter, and are accessible to both internal and external users.

The bacterial and phage laboratory supports quantitative experimental studies of microbial growth, virus–host interactions, and population dynamics in both well-mixed and spatially structured systems, providing a platform for physics-based investigations of microbial dynamics.

The membrane laboratory investigates lipid membranes and membrane-associated processes using controlled model systems and spectroscopy, linking thermodynamic and mechanical properties to cellular function.

Geophysics (including Ice, Climate, and Earth Sciences)
Experimental work in Physics of ice, climate and Earth at NBI is related to ice core research, involving field campaigns to retrieve ice cores, collect snow samples, and conduct geophysical surveys. A strength of the section is developing and maintaining advanced ice core processing laboratory facilities for obtaining paleo-climatic records of past climate change from ice cores and leading international ice core processing campaigns.

The ice core processing facilities at NBI currently include a gas extraction and measurements laboratory, a chemical and biogeochemical analyses laboratory, and a water isotope measurements laboratory. The work involves optimizing the laboratory setup for continuous flow analysis. Major instrumentation at PICE are isotope ratio mass spectrometers for atmospheric components, laser spectrometers for water isotopes and trace gases, an ion chromatograph, a laser ablation system, and a continuous flow analyses system from ice cores for chemical components and trace gases. The ice sheet research includes geophysical surveys using various radar and GPS techniques, facilitating research in e.g. polarized radar techniques, and bore hole logging instrumentation. Strong collaborations are established between ice core research and ice flow and climate modelling activities. We are currently involved in ice core drilling and research activities for large international collaborations, including the EC Horizon project BEOI (Beyond-EPICA-Oldest-Ice), the ERC Synergy project Green2Ice, the Novo Nordisk Foundation center PRECISE, and the EU Horizon project ICELINK.

High Energy and Astro-particle Physics
The experimental High Energy Physics (HEP) group at NBI participate in the ALICE, ATLAS, and IceCube experiments, and are part of designing the future ALICE FoCal, SHiP, and FCC-ee detectors.

The ALICE group studies evolution of quark-gluon-plasma properties and the impact of collision system size, while at the same time leading the development and construction of the new ALICE forward calorimeter (FoCal) to probe, for example, gluon saturation.

The ATLAS group works on rare Higgs decays (Z+gamma and di-Higgs channels) and the use of Machine Learning for analysis optimisation. The group is strongly involved in the ATLAS upgrade tracker for the high luminosity phase of LHC both on the hardware and software side.

The IceCube group is leading measurements of neutrino oscillations and testing quantum-gravity models and heads the development of the GraphNeT machine learning framework, for optimised classification and reconstruction in IceCube and several other astrophysics experiments. The NBI group also contributes to CERN’s future SHiP and potential FCC-ee experiments with coordinating roles in the detector design effort, as well as phenomenology in particle and astro-particle physics.

Quantum Physics (including Condensed Matter, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics)
Current experimental research in condensed matter physics is centered around low-temperature nanoscale quantum electronics, solid-state quantum information devices, as well as neutron and x-ray scattering for characterization of soft materials like polymers and biomolecules and hard materials like magnets and superconductors.

The quantum electronics efforts include epitaxial growth of superconductor-semiconductor materials, cleanroom device fabrication, alongside with advanced cryogenic DC and RF measurement techniques, facilitating research in e.g. spin-based and superconducting qubits for which control electronics for tens of qubits is being installed. Activities also include quantum simulations based on quantum dot and Josephson junction arrays, constituting artificial quantum matter. The laboratories host a dozen milli-kelvin cryostats and the teams are strongly involved in NBI’s cleanroom, housing shared facilities for nanofabrication, including e-beam lithography, deposition/etching tools, molecular beam epitaxy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. During the past decade, condensed matter physics has been strengthened through the creation of the Center for Quantum Devices (QDev) and the Q-MAT project on Magnetism and Quantum Materials. There are strong local collaborations between experimental and theoretical activities in both quantum electronics and materials, and with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Program as well as other science departments. We are involved in the design and development of instrumentation for large-scale international facilities, including the European Spallation Source (ESS), opening soon next to MAX-IV, close to the institute. The group is directly involved in ESS beamlines with instruments for QENS, SANS and inelastic scattering. Soft matter research takes advantage of in-house light and Small-Angle X-ray Scattering, Raman imaging and thermal analysis.

Activities in Quantum Optics cover ultracold atoms and room-temperature atomic ensembles, as well as solid-state quantum optics, photonics, and optomechanics. Experiments are hosted in state-of-the-art optical laboratories suitable also for the most vibration- and temperature-sensitive equipment and are set up with support from the local electronic and mechanical workshops. The in-house cleanroom enables fabrication of advanced micro- and nano-photonic devices using e-beam and photo-lithography and most common deposition and etching techniques. It is complemented by access to a wide range of tools at the Danish national fabrication facility DTU Nanolab. Strong theory-experiment collaborations are an outstanding feature of Quantum Optics research at the Niels Bohr Institute, as are collaborations within and between the dedicated Quantop, Hy-Q, CBQS and NQCP research centers.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Design at the University of Copenhagen seeks to appoint two new group leaders in de novo protein design from 1 February 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. These positions will be at the Assistant or Associate Professor level and associated with the Department of Biology (Faculty of Science) or the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology (Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences).

About the Center
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Design (CPD) is a new initiative that spans the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. The aim of the centre is to accelerate protein design by gaining a deeper understanding of sequence-to-structure/function relationships in proteins, and by developing methods to programme these into functional, designed proteins.

CPD research is broad and not prescriptive, covering both fundamental and applied de novo protein design. Our three themes are:

• Programmable De Novo Protein Design, aimed at improving methods for protein design by combining rational, physics-based, and AI-based approaches
• Contextualised Protein Design, that is, designing proteins that are fit for purpose such as working directly and optimally in cells, chemical reactors, etc; and
• Biodesign for Sustainability and Healthcare, for instance working with biotech and industry to deliver synthetic proteins to address real-world challenges and needs.

The centre will train the next generation of protein scientists for careers in protein design and engineering, and it will apply protein-design methods to a diverse array of fundamental and real-world challenges. The CPD is funded by a 700M DKK (94M EUR) grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation initially for 7 years, from August 2025. It is housed in a completely new, purpose-built space with excellent facilities for computational and experimental protein design.  For further information on the CPD, see our web page.

Job description
The successful candidates will have strong backgrounds in computational and/or experimental de novo protein design, and an ambitious research and teaching plan in protein design that aligns both with the CPD mission and the teaching and research of one of the host departments. Because the CPD is a highly integrated, open, and collaborative environment, we aim to appoint new assistant or associate professors with strong skills in and a demonstrated record of collaboration and community engagement. Specifically, the new group leaders will be expected to contribute to the development of the centre, mentoring its students and junior researchers, and fostering an innovative and inclusive academic environment. We welcome applicants who show a commitment to diversity, knowledge transfer, interdisciplinary collaboration, and public engagement, and who would contribute to these wider remits of the CPD mission and those of the host department to achieve societal impact of their research.

The CPD will support several core PhD student/postdoctoral positions for each assistant/associate professor appointment, along with running and travel costs, and access to excellent CPD facilities for computational and experimental protein design.  The new assistant/associate professors will be expected to raise external funds to grow their groups.

The responsibilities will primarily consist of:

• Research, including publication and academic dissemination
• Research leadership, including guidance and supervision of students and researchers
• Fundraising to establish strong research programmes and lead interdisciplinary research projects
• Research-based teaching at all levels, including associated examination
• Sharing knowledge with the wider scientific and non-scientific communities, including participation in public debates
• Contributing actively to the management and development of the CPD through internal roles and responsibilities
• Integrating the CPD into the wider University of Copenhagen and regional ecosystems
• Contributing to broader academic assessments and endeavours

Required qualifications
Applicants should have a strong track record in one or both of computational and experimental de novo protein design. We do not have any specific research topics or interests in mind for these positions – we are looking for exceptional individuals with energy and ambition to help build and advance research in the CPD at this early and formative stage.  However, alignment with one or more of the CPD’s research themes outlined above will be essential.

Applicants should be able to teach topics broadly across protein science, biochemistry, pharmacology, structural biology, or related subjects on the BSc, MSc, and PhD programmes in one of the two host departments, and are expected to contribute to the development of new courses incorporating protein design. In addition, a clear and structured plan for internal and external collaborations will be considered favourably.

Tenure-track assistant professor.
Assessment of applicants for the tenure-track assistant professorship 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.

Associate professor
Assessment of applicants for the associate professorship will primarily consider their level of documented, original scientific production at an international level, including contributions to developments in their field, as well as their documented teaching qualifications. Managerial and out-reach qualifications of applicants including ability to attract external funding will also be considered.

211-0257/26-2N Tenure-track Assistant Professor of De novo Protein Design

211-0749/26-2E Associate Professor of De novo Protein Design

The position is a fixed term position and runs till the end of August 2028.

Job content
The position is part of the “Power over Platforms?” project which started in 2025 and runs till 2028 and is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The candidate’s research activities will contribute to the project’s empirical studies of how different kinds of actors seek to influence how platform companies govern their products and services.

The aim of the project is to understand how power is exercised over platform companies such as Google, Meta, and their competitors by actors who have neither raw economic nor formal regulatory or legislative means. The focus is on how civil society groups, interest groups, professional associations, and companies from other sectors sometimes actively try to shape how platform companies operate. 

Systematically analyzing the actors involved in trying to influence key decisions made by platforms on key issues—content moderation, privacy, and the use of generative AI for political information and speech—across different jurisdictions (inside and outside the EU), and across different platforms (primarily consumer-facing content platforms including Google, Meta, and their smaller competitors such as TikTok and X) the project sets out to identify who seeks to influence platform governance, how, and what the outcomes are across countries and across companies.

To do this, the project will combine qualitative fieldwork, digital methods, and comparative institutional analysis.

For more information about the project, please contact the project PI Rasmus Kleis Nielsen (rakn@hum.ku.dk).

Duties and Responsibilities
As a postdoc on the project, you are expected to contribute to an empirical mapping of actors seeking to influence platform companies, analyze their strategies, and how the context, object, and goal of their efforts influence outcomes.

We are especially interested in applicants with theoretical and methodological qualifications from within the broad field of digital media and communications research, and social scientists interested in digital media and communications.

Experience with platform studies with an emphasis on governance and a track record of relevant empirical work, especially work focused on civil society actors, is an advantage. An interest in governance issues around content moderation, privacy and data protection, and generative artificial intelligence is welcome. So is an ability to work in one or more major EU languages (e.g. German, French) in addition to English. Applicants with previous experience in qualitative interviews, fieldwork, document analysis, and similar relevant empirical approaches will be preferred.

The work will include:

• Mapping actors involved in platform governance across different countries.
• Identifying key individuals working in this area, documenting their career trajectory.
• Interviewing individuals involved in platform governance networks, across civil society, interest groups, platform companies, companies in other sectors, and other relevant actors.
• Fieldwork at relevant events across the world, including potentially longer research stays in relevant locations.
• Capturing and analyzing platform governance debates as they play out online and offline.

You will be expected to publish scientific articles within the context of the project, and to participate in the organization of activities and research events. As postdoc at the Department of Communication, you will be part of an internationally oriented interdisciplinary environment focused on advancing theoretical, methodological and empirical research about digital society.

Research project

Social welfare policies are important structural determinants of childhood health. These policies, for example, influence the likelihood of experiencing economic hardship during childhood, a well-established risk factor for adverse health and developmental outcomes. By rigorously evaluating the effects of specific social welfare reforms, we can identify which policy mechanisms most effectively promote health and development in early life, with implications for lifelong well-being and socioeconomic outcomes.

This research project will examine the child health implications of major Danish social welfare reforms that have introduced substantial changes to the benefit system and affected many families. Using population-wide register data, we will investigate the impact of these reforms on pregnancy outcomes as well as children’s somatic and mental health.

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of an inclusive and stimulating academic environment, with strong expertise in health inequalities and quantitative methods, within the Social Epidemiology Research Group at the Section of Social Medicine.

The project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

• Process and analyse register data
• Write and co-author scientific articles in collaboration with other project members
• Participate in workshops, seminars, and conferences
• Teach and disseminate your research

We are looking for a highly motivated, independent, and enthusiastic scientist with the following qualifications:

• A PhD in a relevant field, such as epidemiology, public health, sociology, economics, or a related discipline
• Experience in applied statistics and causal inference
• Experience in social epidemiology and/or health inequalities
• Experience working with large datasets
• The ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a research team
• Experience in writing and submitting academic research papers
• Proficiency in statistical software such as R, Stata, or SAS
• Excellent written and spoken English skills

Place of employment

The place of employment is at Section of Social Medicine, Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment.
