Our group and research
Cai Lab does neuroscience research at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen. We investigate how the neurovascular unit and neural circuits fail in brain disease, and how this knowledge can be translated into the development of new neurotechnologies and therapies.

Our research has two closely connected pillars. First, we study the cellular mechanisms of neurovascular dysfunction in the living brain, with a particular focus on neurovascular coupling, blood flow regulation, and vascular cell signaling in health, aging, and ischemic stroke/reperfusion injury. Second, we develop novel neuroprosthetic and neuromodulation strategies for brain disorders, such as next-generation implantable micromagnetic coil-based microdevices for vision restoration and epilepsy.

To address these questions, we combine multimodal in vivo imaging in awake and behaving mice with electrophysiology, viral tools, behavioural paradigms, and quantitative data analysis. By integrating neuroscience, vascular biology, and bioengineering, we aim both to uncover fundamental disease mechanisms and to advance new treatment strategies for neurological disorders.

We are a young, international, and collaborative team that values scientific curiosity, creativity, mentorship, and open exchange of ideas. The successful candidate will receive interdisciplinary training at the interface of brain–machine interfaces, neurovascular signaling, multimodal neuroimaging, and in vitro and in vivo preclinical experimentation, while working closely with collaborators at DTU and Harvard Medical School, USA.

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.

Our group and research

The Herth Group focuses on the development of innovative radiopharmaceutical drugs for both diagnosis and therapy. Our research spans the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel radiotracers and radiotherapeutics, with the goal of improving the precision and effectiveness of nuclear medicine. In particular, we have developed pretargeted strategies that enable highly selective delivery of radioactive payloads to disease sites, offering new opportunities for molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. Through a combination of chemistry, biology, and translational research, we aim to advance next-generation radiopharmaceuticals from concept to clinical application.

Project description

Glioblastoma remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat due to its aggressive nature and the limited efficacy of current therapeutic approaches. Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy offers a promising strategy to improve tumor targeting while reducing radiation exposure to healthy tissues.

This PhD project will focus on the development of novel pretargeted radiopharmaceuticals for imaging and therapy of glioblastoma by targeting the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). The project will utilize bioorthogonal tetrazine ligation chemistry to enable selective in vivo targeting and will investigate the use of fluorine-18 for imaging as well as iodine-131 and astatine-211 for targeted radionuclide therapy.

The successful candidate will design and synthesize new tetrazine-based radioligands with improved stability, including the development of novel tetrazine scaffolds resistant to deastatination. The project will further involve radiolabeling, characterization, and optimization of these compounds, as well as exploration of strategies to improve target-to-background ratios. In parallel, site-specific conjugation approaches will be developed for anti-uPAR antibodies to generate highly defined pretargeting agents.

The PhD student will work closely with an interdisciplinary team within the PreBreach project, combining expertise in radiochemistry, protein engineering, biology, and molecular imaging. Biological evaluation and in vivo studies will be performed in collaboration with project partners, providing a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation radiopharmaceutical therapies for brain cancer.

Our research

The research group investigates how cells maintain protein homeostasis through the protein quality control (PQC) system and how defects in these pathways contribute to disease and aging. Research activities combine molecular genetics, functional genomics, and advanced high-throughput technologies to dissect the mechanisms governing protein folding, degradation, and cellular stress responses.

A central focus is the development and application of Deep Mutational Scanning (DMS) approaches to systematically characterize the functional consequences of genetic variation at scale. By integrating DMS with genome-wide CRISPR screening and other multiplexed assays, the group aims to uncover sequence–function relationships, identify determinants of protein stability and degradation, and map the cellular pathways that influence variant effects. This work provides fundamental insights into PQC networks and contributes to improved interpretation of human genetic variation in health and disease.

Your job

You will join a multidisciplinary research team investigating cellular protein quality control using advanced high-throughput technologies. Your work will include cloning large cDNA libraries, conducting genome-wide CRISPR screens, and performing multiplexed assays to study the effects of genetic variants.

Protein nanofibrils (PNF) are uniquely suited as functional structuring materials due to their highly ordered molecular architectures. The diverse compositions of plant proteins form different types of PNFs. The relation between these multiscale architectures and morphological differences remain unclear. Therefore, we will investigate the mechanical properties of the different PNF-types at the nanoscale level. The aim is to develop plant PNFs as functional building blocks to improve food texture. The PhD will employ a mix of protein chemistry, microscopic analysis, and quality evaluation to study protein variability, fibrillization methods, interplay between PNF structure, functionality and gel texture.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of plant proteins, protein properties, and plant-based foods. Applicants can have a background from protein analytics, plant protein functionality, food science and technology.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

You will be part of the research group LCA and Sustainable Food Design, which cover multiple scientific disciplines ranging from food chemistry to consumer science and food systems modelling. Our research vision is to advance the development of sustainable foods rooted in our understanding of the interplay between green chemistry principles, functionality, consumer acceptance and sustainability science. The research group focuses on the development of sustainable innovation in food science, which hinges on several critical understandings of food matrix effect during gentle processing and whole biomass exploitation. We combine knowledge on environmentally sustainable raw materials production and extraction, green chemistry principles and detailed knowledge about the properties of food components in complex food matrices during processing, storage and consumption. In addition, the project will integrated in the research group Structural Food Science, Section for Ingredient and Dairy Technology, which research is based on a multiscale approach where the properties of ingredients and their interactions are studied at the nano- and micro- scales in order to link molecular understanding to macroscopic food properties and quality.

The group is a part of Department of Food Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories.

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.

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.

Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports
Faculty of Science

University of Copenhagen

Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Gut Microbiome and Cardiometabolic Health. The project is part of the Microbiome Health Initiative (MHI), which is supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is (expected to be) 01.10.2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

MHI is an initiative that aims to show that the human gut microbiome plays a causal role in cardiometabolic health. As part of this, several human intervention studies are to be conducted testing the effects of microbial species or microbial metabolites on outcomes relevant for cardiometabolic health.

The envisioned PhD project will investigate whether rectal administration of a microbiota-derived metabolite affects colonic hormone secretion and metabolism in humans. A placebo-controlled cross-over trial in human participants will be conducted at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen and combine measurements of gut hormones and human metabolism and state-of-the-art omics technologies on biological samples (i.e. transcriptomics, microbiomics and metabolomics). In addition, the PhD student will contribute to other ongoing related research projects.

In your role as PhD student, you will be in charge of writing the study protocol for approval to the Ethical Committee. Following approval, you will be responsible for the recruitment of study participants and for conducting the cross-over intervention study in collaboration with other staff and students. This includes conducting examination visits, handling biological samples, and potentially taking rectal biopsies. Furthermore, you will conduct liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based metabolomics on biological samples from this and other trials, and analyze transcriptomics and microbiome data obtained from the studies. Finally, you will integrate the clinical intervention-responses with obtained omics data and write scientific publications.

The position involves collaborative work with Research leader, MD, Trine Nielsen and her team at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Denmark.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for motivated candidates within the field(s) of medicine (medical doctor), human physiology, human biology, human nutrition, biotechnology or similar field who has a keen interest in studying/learning human gut physiology and omics technologies to work interdisciplinary and bridge human intervention studies with basic science.

You will be part of the Nutrition, Microbiome and Metabolomics Group headed by Associate Professor Henrik Munch Roager at Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen. We offer a dynamic, sociable, collaborative, and international environment with exciting scientific challenges and opportunities to develop your scientific career. The core of our research is to perform high quality human interventions and cohort studies with a strong emphasis on measuring diet-microbiome-host interactions through metabolomics.

The research group is part of the Microbiome Health Initiative, which brings together world-leading microbiome scientists and clinicians to generate knowledge that can lead to new prevention or treatment options for people living with, or at risk of, cardiometabolic diseases.

The group is also affiliated to the Copenhagen Gut Microbiome Hub, which brings together the region’s leading scientists, researchers and industry professionals dedicated to leverage the gut microbiome to improve health.

The University is situated in Copenhagen, which is consistently rated among the world's top 10 most livable and sustainable cities. Life for families is made easier via a publicly supported daycare and healthcare system, dual-career opportunities, maternity/parental leave, and six weeks of annual vacation. International candidates may find useful information on living and working in Denmark.

The project

The XHAILe project aims to provide efficient and accurate hybrid AI technologies for computational law and natural language interaction with e-government solutions along with trustworthy benchmarks and guidelines for legal use of the technology.

This position focuses on the development of conversational AI systems for interaction with legal and administrative processes, combining large language models with symbolic rule-based systems. The overall goal is to enable reliable, explainable, and user-friendly access to complex legal procedures through natural language interfaces.

The work builds on the project’s hybrid architecture, where language models are used for interaction, interpretation, and explanation, while decision-making remains grounded in executable symbolic models (DCR graphs) developed within the project and by the industrial partner DCR Solutions.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates with a PhD degree and demonstrable experience in natural language processing, machine learning, or related areas, with a strong interest in conversational AI and applied AI systems.

Our group and research - and what do we offer?

We offer a position that is part of a large collaboration between several faculties within the University of Copenhagen, Technical University of Denmark, Local Government Denmark - and with a reference group of governmental institutions and leading international experts in the field. The position is based at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, within the Natural Language Processing research environment, which is part of the AI section. The candidate will be part of an interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, law, and language technology, and will interact closely with other postdocs and senior researchers in the project.

The project involves close collaboration with industrial and governmental partners, providing opportunities to work with real-world legal use cases and to evaluate research in applied settings. The work is embedded in a broader effort to develop trustworthy AI systems for the public sector and is affiliated with the Pioneer Centre for AI.

The University of Copenhagen offers a strong international research environment and access to modern computational resources, as well as a collaborative and interdisciplinary setting.

The position is full-time and begins on 1 October 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. The selected candidate will be employed at CAISA and based in Copenhagen.

Introduction
CAISA, which is established as part of the Danish government’s strategic initiative for artificial intelligence (AI), is an interdisciplinary national research consortium led by the University of Copenhagen in close collaboration with the Pioneer Centre of AI. The ambition is to create excellent, interdisciplinary research in a dynamic, open, and international environment with active exchange and engagement with society.

As part of CAISA’s broader research agenda, including the moonshot “Responsible algorithms for all of Denmark”, the center has recently received funding from the Danish Research Reserve for a new collaborative initiative with Statistics Denmark. This initiative aims to strengthen both research in responsible artificial intelligence (AI) and the infrastructure that enables such research, including secure access to and analysis of large-scale register data.

The research activities within the project are organised around five interrelated work packages (WPs), with the postdoc joining an interdisciplinary team of 4–5 postdocs and researchers working across key dimensions of responsible AI. The present postdoctoral position is linked to a Work Package led by led by Associate Professor Nicki Skafte Detlefsen, DTU Compute.

Research context
The overall purpose of this postdoctoral position is to research and build the technical infrastructure that ensures responsible AI remains fair, reliable, and safe when deployed in the real world — not just under controlled laboratory conditions. Possible topics include automated pipelines for continuous bias and fairness auditing, tools for bridging cutting-edge research models and Statistics Denmark's secure infrastructure, and monitoring systems that detect model drift or performance degradation before these issues affect citizens or policy decisions. It is critical that this research addresses the practical deployment challenges of the collaboration with Statistics Denmark.

Qualifications

• an internationally oriented relevant 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
• Strong technical skills, including practical programming experience and familiarity with modern machine learning frameworks and software engineering practices

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 research publications (max. five) will not be considered.

Terms of Employment

• Further information on qualification requirements as postdoc can be found in the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff at Danish Universities 2019 here: https://employment.ku.dk/faculty/criteria-for-recognising-merit/dokumenter/Ministerial_Order_no._1443_of_11_December_2019_on_Job_Structure_for_Academic_Staff_at_Universities.pdf
• Terms of appointment and salary is in accordance with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (Akademikerne).

Introduction

The Danish National Research Foundation’s Center of Excellence for Global Mobility Law (MOBILE) is seeking a postdoctoral candidate with experience in the interplay between legal regimes in the adoption, implementation and enforcement of mobility law in South America. Mobility law refers to the body of legal rules and practices that govern cross-border human movement, including how people may enter, reside, move, and work across states. It spans different legal domains, including free movement, migration, transnational labour, refugee, and human rights frameworks.

This position is situated within MOBILE’s overarching research agenda, which analyses the legal processes through which regional infrastructures for cross-border human mobility are shaped and subsequently implemented, enforced, and contested in practice. Applicants are expected to conduct socio-legal research that empirically examines the development, implementation, and contestation of South American regional migration and free movement legal frameworks, particularly in their interaction with domestic and international legal regimes. The research will moreover contribute to the broader study of mobility systems across different regions. Hence, the candidate will be expected to closely engage in comparative and interdisciplinary collaborations with other staff at the MOBILE center.

Duties and Responsibilities

The postdoc position is primarily dedicated to research. The position also includes a teaching obligation, and other duties may be required to a limited extent. The university determines the exact ration between the various responsibilities. The ratio may vary over time.

For more information about Postdoc positions and qualification requirements, please see the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities: Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2013 (ufm.dk).

The prospective candidate should have a proven track record in researching mobility law in South America and other contexts, as well as proficiency in doctrinal and empirical legal methods. The candidate is expected to engage with theoretical and data analysis of legal provisions and judgements and have experience with qualitative analysis.

Ideally, the candidate should have fieldwork experience in the South American region.

All applicants must be able to use English as a working language. Considering the language of legal sources, proficiency in Spanish and Portuguese is an advantage.

You will primarily be assessed in relation to your research qualifications, including your publications, ability to conduct independent research and participate in research collaborations as well as your experience in research management.

Project description
Poor aqueous solubility is one of the greatest unsolved challenges in modern drug development, affecting more than 90% of small-molecule drug candidates and severely limiting their therapeutic potential. While crystalline drug forms provide physical stability, their poor solubility often compromises bioavailability and clinical performance. Amorphous drug forms can overcome this limitation by dramatically enhancing solubility; however, their inherent instability and tendency to recrystallize remain major barriers to their widespread application.

This project seeks to challenge conventional paradigms in pharmaceutical formulation by pioneering new concepts in “amorphous engineering”. Recent breakthroughs from our group have demonstrated that drugs can exist in multiple amorphous forms and/or polyamorphs, with distinct physicochemical properties. This largely unexplored phenomenon, known as amorphous variability, opens unprecedented opportunities for the design of next-generation medicines.

The project will investigate the formation, stabilization, and confinement of amorphous forms of drugs within biocompatible particles, creating innovative formulations capable of combining enhanced solubility with improved physical stability, without the need for additional excipients. By integrating state-of-the-art experimental characterization techniques with computational modelling, this research aims to establish transformative strategies for poorly water-soluble drugs and accelerate the development of more effective medicines for patients.

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

As Denmark accelerates its green transition to address biodiversity loss and climate adaptation, they may create favorable conditions for these disease‑transmitting organisms (vectors), such as mosquitoes, and thereby unintentionally increase vector‑borne disease risks. As part of a new interdisciplinary research project, to investigate the relationship between on-going land use changes (as part of Denmark’s Green tripartite) and the effect on mosquito populations in Denmark, we are seeking a highly motivated postdoc to work with environmental DNA (eDNA)-based mapping of mosquitoes in Denmark. The project will use eDNA metabarcoding analyses of water samples collected (through citizen science and other participatory science approaches) across different landscape types to map mosquito species diversity in Denmark and to evaluate eDNA as a tool for mosquito surveillance. For comparison with eDNA methods, traditional mosquito trapping and molecular species identification will be performed at selected sites. There will also be opportunities for developing own research ideas related to eDNA and vector borne diseases in collaboration with the group.

The position is available from October 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for 2 years and will be one of two postdoc positions (the other postdoc will have a background in social science) in the newly started interdisciplinary project funded by the UCPH Convergence Grants. Project partners are Natural History Museum of Denmark and Department of Food and Resource Economics. The two postdocs are expected to work closely together in the project.

You will join an innovative and interdisciplinary research project, where your key responsibilities specifically will include:

• Perform eDNA metabarcoding laboratory analysis and analyze high-throughput sequencing data (metabarcoding) to map mosquito diversity and distribution.
• Collection of mosquitoes and eDNA samples across selected sites in Denmark.
• Interdisciplinary collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Denmark and Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO) on stakeholder engagement.

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

Required qualifications

• PhD in molecular biology/ecology, environmental sciences, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated experience with DNA laboratory work (preferably eDNA metabarcoding).
• Skills in bioinformatics and statistical analyses of next-generation sequencing data (particularly metabarcoding).
• Experience with field work (preferably eDNA sampling) and a drivers’ license.
• Collaborative, communicative, and motivated to work in an interdisciplinary research environment.

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledge of vector ecology, mosquitoes or disease ecology.  
• Experience with citizen science or public engagement.
• Danish skills (written and spoken) and familiarity with Danish society

Overall, it is expected that you will contribute actively to a joyful and productive work environment. A strong scientific track record with a productive publication list and positive reviews from previous supervisors, collaborators or mentors will also weigh strongly in the assessment.

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

Place of employment

The place of employment is at Section for Parasitology and Pathobiology (PAP), Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen (UCPH). We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include access to modern molecular laboratories and vector laboratories.

The PhD projects
This PhD investigates a mutation in the Inuit population that increases risk of development of type 2 diabetes 10-fold in homozygous carriers. The mutation causes muscle specific deletion of TBC1D4, an enzyme integral in facilitating glucose uptake in both skeletal and cardiac muscle through translocation of GLUT4. The PhD comprises two projects. The first project aims to elucidate if physical activity can ameliorate the impact of this genetic mutation on skeletal muscle glucose uptake through muscle adaptations to training. This will be assessed by metabolic phenotyping and invasive mechanistic methodologies. The second project aims to uncover how compromised cardiac glucose uptake affects cardiac metabolism by leveraging state-of-the-art cardiac positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT).

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field of medicine willing to stay in Greenland for the duration of the training intervention (~1 year).

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

Our group work focuses on the mechanisms through which physical activity promotes metabolic health.

We are particularly interested in the intracellular interactions between exercise-induced signaling events and those triggered by insulin, aiming to unravel how a single bout of exercise can enhance muscle insulin sensitivity. Central to these studies is the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its interacting partners, including mTOR and TBC1D4.

CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at Panum since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.

Our group and research

The overarching aim of the Sakamoto Group is to elucidate molecular mechanisms governing cellular energy sensing, as well as the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. Our ultimate goal is to identify therapeutic targets and their small-molecules or peptide-based modulators capable of restoring energy balance in cardiometabolic disease. Our research focuses on how post-translational modifications—particularly reversible phosphorylation—and allosteric regulation of signaling proteins and metabolic enzymes contribute to metabolic control. We also investigate how disruptions in these processes drive the development and progression of cardiometabolic diseases. To address these questions, we employ a multidisciplinary approach and collaborate with leading national and international experts. We are equally committed to fostering a supportive and dynamic research environment, with a strong emphasis on the training and professional development of early-career scientists.

Project description

Maintenance of energy and glucose homeostasis is essential for metabolic health. Our group has previously shown that glucose utilization in skeletal muscle and liver is governed by coordinated regulation through reversible phosphorylation and allosteric control, using novel knock-in mouse models expressing metabolic enzymes carrying phospho-deficient or allosteric modulator-binding-deficient mutations. This project will focus on defining how glucose phosphorylation by hexokinase 2, together with its allosteric negative feedback regulation, controls skeletal muscle glucose flux and utilization in vivo, and how this contributes to whole-body glucose homeostasis under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The successful candidate will perform biochemical analyses combined with structure-guided mutagenesis (cell-free and cell-based assays) to identify allosteric modulator-resistant mutants, as well as in vivo preclinical studies in multiple genetic mouse models, including metabolic phenotyping and assessment of glucose homeostasis.

Our Research

This PhD project will be embedded in the Loos Group, which focuses on uncovering the genetic and biological drivers of obesity, body composition, and cardiometabolic disease using large‑scale human genetics and deeply phenotyped cohorts.

The group values teamwork, interdisciplinary collaboration, openness, and inclusion, and works closely with national and international partners across academia and industry. You will be part of a highly supportive research environment with strong methodological mentorship and access to an extensive international network.

Project Description

Background

Body composition plays a central role in cardiometabolic health, yet individuals with similar overall body size can differ markedly in fat and skeletal muscle characteristics and disease risk. While large‑scale genetic studies have improved our understanding of general adiposity, the biological determinants of skeletal muscle traits at population scale remain incompletely understood.

Recent large population resources, such as the UK Biobank, combine genome‑wide genetic data with MRI imaging, creating new opportunities to study skeletal muscle in relation to metabolic health, aging, and disease risk using anatomically informed measures.

Research Aims

The overall aim of this PhD project is to leverage MRI data from the UK Biobank to study skeletal muscle traits at scale and to identify genetic factors influencing variation in skeletal muscle composition.

The project will:

• Generate robust imaging‑derived measures related to skeletal muscle using population‑based MRI data.
• Identify genetic variants associated with these skeletal muscle traits.
• Explore the relevance of genetic findings for metabolic health and disease risk using genetic and epidemiological approaches.

Your role

We strive to provide PhD trainees with both independence and strong mentorship. Your tasks would include:

• Processing and quality‑controlling large‑scale abdominal MRI data
• Developing reproducible pipelines for skeletal muscle phenotyping
• Performing genome‑wide and gene‑level genetic association analyses
• Integrating genetic findings with proteomic and functional genomic data
• Interpreting results in close collaboration with clinical and experimental partners
• Disseminating findings through publications, conference presentations, and open, well‑documented analysis workflows

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)?
