The projects
The postdoc will work at the interface of two closely related research projects focusing on improving wood durability through chemical modification and lignin-based systems.

The Nordic Forest Research (SNS) project “Methods for preventing fungal decay of wood in wet conditions” addresses one of the key challenges in sustainable use of forest resources: how to prolong the service life of wood under very wet conditions, such as in ground contact or outdoor environments. Fungal degradation of wood under such conditions remains poorly understood, particularly for chemically modified wood. The project aims to identify which structural and chemical modifications of the wood cell wall are required to prevent fungal decay, using advanced characterisation techniques and controlled decay experiments.

In parallel, the HYPERLIGNO project explores the use of lignin-based solutions to modify and enhance wood properties through impregnation (“hyperlignification”). This includes understanding lignin solubility, transport, and interactions within the wood structure, as well as the resulting effects on durability and moisture behaviour.

Together, the projects provide a unique opportunity to link fundamental understanding of wood–water–fungi interactions with emerging lignin-based modification strategies.

Responsibilities and tasks
The postdoc will contribute to both projects, with a primary focus on experimental work and data integration across the two research directions.
Tasks include:

• Design and execution of experiments on chemical wood modification and lignin impregnation
• Preparation and characterisation of wood samples before and after fungal decay
• Advanced chemical and structural analysis (e.g. spectroscopy, microscopy, thermal analysis)
• Studies of moisture relations and transport processes in wood
• Participation in fungal decay experiments under controlled high-moisture conditions
• Data analysis using statistical and/or chemometric methods
• Integration of results across projects to identify key mechanisms governing durability
• Dissemination of results through scientific publications and presentations

The position involves close collaboration with partners at Lund University and the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, as well as interaction with ongoing research activities within lignin-based materials at UCPH.

The postdoc’s duties will include research as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

We are looking for one Postdoc (4 years) and one PhD Student to join our research project “Pesticides and Human Health”. The positions are fully funded through a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The start date for both positions is 1 September 2026.

Research project
Pesticides are widely used in agricultural production to combat unwanted insects and fungi around crops, thereby increasing output per acre. We humans are exposed to pesticides daily both through our diet and through the environment. This happens, for example, through the air we breathe.

We still lack answers pertaining to the public health consequences of indirect pesticide exposure. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to environmental impacts, as exposure to toxic substances can be transferred to the unborn child via the placenta and thus affect the development of the fetus. This can, for example, result in the mother losing her child or the child being born with congenital malformations.

This research project will investigate whether there is a causal relationship between indirect exposure to pesticides through the air and population health. We will investigate how pesticides affect the population's fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and children's health and education.

Københavns Universitets Physics Education Research Group (KUPER), Section for Didactics
Department of Science Education, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen

The Department of Science Education invites applications for a three-year Postdoctoral position in physics education research, starting preferably 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position is part of the research project Artificial Intelligence in Physics Learning and Assessment (AIPLA), funded by The Novo Nordisk Foundation, and led by Associate Professor Jesper Bruun (Principal Investigator). The project is hosted at the Section for Didactics, Department of Science Education, University of Copenhagen.

Project Description

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is rapidly transforming educational practices, raising fundamental questions about teaching, learning, and assessment—particularly in subjects such as physics, where conceptual understanding, mathematical reasoning, experimentation, and multiple representations are tightly interwoven.

The AIPLA project investigates how GAI can be integrated meaningfully and responsibly into upper-secondary physics education, with a dual focus on student learning processes and assessment practices. While recent research has explored what GAI can and cannot do when solving physics problems, there is limited systematic knowledge about how such technologies can be embedded in classroom practices in ways that support learning, engagement, and both formative and summative assessment.

The project combines curriculum analysis, teacher collaboration, classroom-based design and implementation studies, and qualitative empirical methods to explore:

• Which types of physics tasks GAI can productively support without replacing students’ disciplinary work;
• How GAI-supported tasks can be designed and implemented in physics teaching and assessment;
• How students’ engagement, learning, and attitudes towards physics develop when working with GAI;
• How physics teachers adapt, reflect on, and collaborate around the use of GAI in their practice.

The project is carried out in close collaboration with Danish upper-secondary physics teachers and relevant national stakeholders.

The Postdoctoral Position

The Postdoc will contribute substantially to the research activities of AIPLA and will have the opportunity to shape a coherent research profile within the project’s framework. The precise focus of the Postdoc project will be developed jointly with the PI during the initial phase of employment.

Expected tasks include:

• Designing and conducting mixed-methods empirical studies in collaboration with upper-secondary students and physics teachers;
• Participating in classroom observations, interviews with students, and quantitative and qualitative analyses of teaching and learning activities involving GAI;
• Contributing to the design and refinement of AI-supported physics tasks (for example, hands-on experiments in physics) and assessment formats;
• Analysing qualitative and quantitative data related to student learning, teacher practices, and classroom interaction;
• Publishing research results in high-quality international journals;
  Participating actively in the local research environment and project activities.
• Teaching and dissemination activities corresponding to approximately 20% of working time, primarily within teacher education and science education courses at the Department of Science Education.

The successful candidate will be offered the opportunity to receive training and certification in university pedagogy.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for a highly motivated and independent researcher with a strong interest in physics education and the educational use of AI.

Applicants must:

• Hold a PhD and have a clearly documented research profile in physics education research (PER), demonstrated through doctoral and/or postdoctoral work (e.g. a PhD in PER or a closely related field with substantial PER-focused research).
• Have experience with mixed-methods research, combining qualitative approaches (e.g. interviews, classroom observations, design-based research) with quantitative or analytical methods as appropriate.
• Be able to communicate research clearly in spoken and written English;
• Be able to work independently as well as collaboratively in a research team.
• Have documented teaching proficiency in higher education or teacher education (for example, university level courses in science teaching)

It is considered an advantage if the applicant has:

• Experience with research on digital technologies, AI, or learning analytics in education;
• Familiarity with upper-secondary physics teaching and curriculum;
• Experience collaborating with teachers or working in school-based research contexts;

Danish language proficiency is not required for the position.

This postdoc position is a part of the ACCESS project, Augmenting the STEM classroom by ESS digital twins. The ACCESS project is funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, and it is a collaboration between DTU – Technical University of Denmark, University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden. ESS is a future large-scale research facility for neutron-based investigation of materials in a broad sense.

The aim of this postdoc position is to design, implement, and validate McStas digital twins of selected ESS instruments to a level of detail that mimics the authentic experience of the full experimental pipeline with a set of representative and relevant virtual samples to facilitate realistic training in state-of-the-art data analysis.

The overall strategic objective of the ACCESS project is to develop even better education to train the scientists and engineers of the future. In addition to this postdoc position, the ACCESS project includes two other postdocs and one PhD position.

Responsibilities and qualifications
In our ACCESS team, we have developed McStas, the leading Monte Carlo-based ray-tracing simulation tool to design and predict the performance of neutron instruments. The first simple McStas digital twins for teaching neutron methods exist, and we have successfully applied these. Your responsibility will be to design, implement, and test the full experimental pipeline for a set of authentic samples and the related data analysis. You will validate the data produced by the digital twins by linking the virtual experiments with real data that you acquire. Depending on your competence, you will work with two neutron scattering methods selected among imaging, small-angle scattering, diffraction, and inelastic scattering, relating to the ESS instruments ODIN. LOKI, DREAM, and BIFROST. You will be responsible for choosing relevant samples, and you will also have the option of conducting experiments on more complex samples within the neutron methodologies in focus.  

You will design the virtual experiments, so they are fit for teaching at BSc and MSc-level for both non-expert students, focusing on applications of the methods, and more specialized expert students, focusing on the development of the methods. Eventually, the digital twins will be fit for training new neutron scattering users.

You will work closely with the ACCESS team that also comprises a similar postdoc, as well as a postdoc and a PhD student who will work on the didactical aspects of teaching using digital twins. We will employ a design-based research methodology by iterative cycles of design, testing, and refinement of the digital twins in real educational settings.

Qualified applicants must have:

• A PhD in physics, engineering, material science, or similar.
• Experience with performing neutron scattering experiments.
• Experience with analysing neutron scattering data.
• Experience with scientific programming in Python or similar.
• Experience with McStas will be preferred

Our research

We investigate how membrane proteins translate structural features into functional outcomes. For many years, we have focused on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with an emphasis on ligand recognition, receptor activation, intracellular cycling, biased signaling, and crosstalk in the immune and endocrine systems. Our work extends to virus-encoded ion channels (viroporins), where we study the same properties as those of the receptors. We combine molecular pharmacology, structural biology, computation, and quantitative biophysics, supported by state-of-the-art biophysical assays and site‑directed approaches to identify and characterize novel modulators of GPCRs and viral ion channels.

The project

We are looking for a driven and ambitious person who can work independently and in collaboration with other groups. The candidate should have a strong interest in the field of protein science with a focus on viral membrane proteins.

The project will address fundamental questions regarding the structure, oligomerization, and pore-forming and/or ion‑channel function of viroporins, a diverse family of small viral membrane proteins that form oligomeric pores essential for viral life cycle and pathogenesis. The goal is to define the molecular principles governing viroporin assembly, map intra- and intersubunit contacts, and study pore function, ion selectivity, and druggability via modulation by small‑molecule inhibitors. This includes establishing high‑throughput pipelines for heterologous expression, purification, and reconstitution of viral membrane proteins. Druggability will be assessed using a high-throughput fluorescence-based screening platform in a human cell line.

Who are we looking for?

The candidate should have a PhD degree in the field of molecular pharmacology or protein science with a focus on membrane proteins. The person we are looking for should have a master’s degree or equivalent in biochemistry, medicine, structural biology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biomedicine, or a related field, with basic theoretical and practical knowledge of protein science, cell biology, and pharmacology.

The applicant must be fluent in written and spoken English. The candidate is expected to take the initiative in driving the project while also collaborating with other members of the MolPharm lab. Emphasis will be given on personal qualities, including analytical capacity, accuracy, flexibility, and collaborative skills.

Additional merits or desired skills: The ideal candidate has one or more of the following competencies: molecular pharmacological characterizations of membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells, including, for instance, GPCRs or ion channels; protein chemistry approaches such as recombinant protein expression and purification, biochemical and biophysical characterization of proteins; advanced microscopy methods.

The selection is based on the following criteria: Completion of the above qualifications, grades in relevant courses, suitability of the courses to the research program, previous experience in working and/or performing research in the wider area that relates to structural and functional properties of membrane proteins. An integrated assessment of the applicant is conducted to identify the best possible candidate who can succeed in doctoral studies and contribute to the positive development of the department and the research program.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

The Rosenkilde Group is part of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, located on the Panum campus in the Northern Campus area, close to the center of Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic, international research environment. The group forms an integral part of the Molecular and Translational Pharmacology research division, bringing together scientists with shared interests in membrane proteins: G protein‑coupled receptor (GPCR) biology, viroporins, ion channels, transporters, ligand recognition, receptor activation and desensitization, allosteric modulation, and oligomerization.

Our research focuses on understanding the relationship between the structure and function of membrane proteins. We combine molecular pharmacology, structural biology, biophysical assays, and computational approaches to uncover mechanisms of activation, modulation, and inhibition, discover novel ligands, and refine them to improve drug properties.

The environment provides access to state‑of‑the‑art experimental facilities for receptor characterization, ligand screening, and functional assays, supported by a broad expertise spanning protein engineering, mutagenesis, signaling analyses, and biophysical characterization

The project
Funding for two PhD positions working on the use of AI in medicine is available. The positions are focused on various aspects of cancer treatment, including AI-assisted diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome prediction. Depending on the applicant's qualifications, they may work on medical image analysis, clinical report analysis, or theoretical aspects of AI in medicine. The researchers are expected to work in close collaboration with the Department of Radiation Oncology and the Department of Radiology at Rigshospitalet.

The prevalence of cancer remains a global health challenge, with the National Institutes of Health reporting that an estimated 39.5% of individuals will have cancer at some point in their lives. According to the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology, approximately half of cancer patients will require radiotherapy (RT) as part of their treatment regimen. However, the curative effects of RT are accompanied by toxicity risks to healthy tissues surrounding the target tumors. Studies indicate that 15–45% of patients across different cancer types experience various radiation-induced toxicities. This project aims to leverage AI capabilities to study the relationships between toxicities and irradiation of anatomical subregions of human organs, pinpointing critical regions that need to be spared to minimize toxicity risks.

These positions are intended for candidates interested in advancing AI in medicine, with a primary focus on medical image analysis. The research spans multimodal data integration, combining imaging with clinical and treatment-related information. While the main application area is cancer diagnosis and treatment planning, the work also includes related domains such as modelling clinician behaviour (e.g., eye-tracking analysis) and methodological development in medical image analysis. The latter is designed to produce broadly applicable techniques that extend beyond specific tasks and contribute to general advances in AI for healthcare. We are looking for committed candidates who are not afraid to ask questions, can navigate a dynamic research environment, and can independently drive a project until models are applied.

Who are we looking for?
In collaboration with Rigshospitalet, Denmark, DIKU is seeking motivated candidates for PhD positions in applied machine learning. The aim of the project is to develop machine learning solutions and apply them for cancer treatment planning. The candidates are expected to have knowledge in computer science, software development proficiency and experience in machine learning.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The project will be hosted by the IMAGE section, which performs research in medical image analysis, machine learning, and computer vision. Our section often works with clinical and industrial partners, so we aim to develop top-level machine learning solutions with a focus on practical applicability. The section is a part of the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

The supervisor for the positions – Dr. Bulat Ibragimov – is an Associate Professor working in medical image analysis, computer-aided interventions planning, human-AI interaction, and related fields. He has strong collaborative ties with various Danish and international research institutions. The PhD candidates will be asked to spend 3 months of their study at one of such institutions.

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

Principal supervisor is Bulat Ibragimov, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, email: bulat@di.ku.dk.

Clinical co-supervisor is Ivan Richter Vogelius, Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, email: ivan.richter.vogelius@regionh.dk.

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

Interviews are expected to be held in week 25.

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

The position is fixed term for a minimum of 2 years and maximum of 3 years. Any further extension beyond the minimum of 2 years’ employment depends on the candidate's profile in relation to the teaching requirements at the department. Employment offer as a postdoc or assistant professor will also depend on teaching needs at the department.

The starting date is 1 October 2026, or as soon as possible by agreement. 

The selected candidate will be a part of the project team consisting of the PI, a PhD, a Postdoctoral Researcher, a group of student assistants, and international collaborators.

Project description
The LOBBYMETRY project addresses two types of imbalances in lobbying: 1) mobilisation asymmetries, which exclude some actors from the policy debate, and 2) information asymmetries, which empower specific groups in their exchanges with policymakers. The project analyses these asymmetries and their relationship to each other, as well as their effects on the ways in which sectional and public interests feed into policymaking.

The project studies these asymmetries across populations of interest organisations in European countries and at European Union level, as well as within the climate, digital and health policy fields, that vary strongly in mobilisation asymmetries and constitute areas where well- or ill-informed policies have vast consequences for humanity at large. LOBBYMETRY strives to open the black-box of policymaker-lobbyist information exchange within these areas, develop measures of informational quality and accuracy in lobbying, and evaluate how and when lobbying pulls outcomes away from the public interest.

Methodologically, the project combines cross-country surveys, cross-venue textual data, and different forms of participant observation of the information exchanges between policymakers and interest organisations. This combination of methods will generate unprecedented quantitative and qualitative evidence on lobbyist-policymaker information exchange in varying contexts.

Your tasks and opportunities
The chosen candidate will primarily be involved in the qualitative parts of the project, spanning different forms of participant observation. The aim is to observe lobbyist-policymaker exchanges to understand how they navigate information asymmetries in i) researcher-controlled and ii) highly natural settings. To do so, the project develops a combination of i) focus group interviews and ii) immersive participant observation.

The plan is to conduct focus groups in three polities (among EU actors and in two EU member states), asking differently composed sets of interest representatives and policymakers to discuss specific policy problems in the digital, climate and/or health areas. This large-scale use of focus groups will be a collaboration between the PI, the project’s quantitative PostDoc and the chosen candidate for the qualitative PostDoc/assistant professor position.

Furthermore, to shed further light on the policymaker side of information exchanges, immersive participant observation -led by the chosen candidate – will ‘shadow’ selected regulatory and legislative policymakers in their discussions with stakeholders. This ethnography-inspired methodology seeks to allow the researcher to be ‘a fly on the wall’, in our case observing information exchange between interest organisations and policymakers that usually takes place behind closed doors and without a paper trail of (public) minutes or a videotape. The aim is to deepen our understanding of the practices in lobbying and information exchange, for instance how policymakers process interest organisation input and how issues ‘escalate’ between venues. This part of the project depends crucially on building relationships with selected policymakers that allow the researcher far-reaching access, which is why it will focus on only one or two polities.               

With these tasks in mind, the position is suited for applicants with a strong background in qualitative methods, with substantive experience in one or several of the relevant methods (participant observation, ethnographic fieldwork, focus group interviews). Candidates with proven abilities to secure access in relevant contexts have an advantage.

The chosen candidate will contribute to the project with their expertise, interests, and skills, and is expected to publish both collaborative and single-authored scientific articles in international journals, as well as to present findings at international conferences. Funding is available for data collection and conference attendance helping to ensure that all team members can extend their network and research expertise. Other tasks include the dissemination of findings, such as in reports, on the project website, or in op-eds. The type and amount of teaching to potentially be included in the position will be negotiated based on the department’s needs and applicant’s portfolio.

Your qualifications

The candidate must have obtained – or be about to obtain - a PhD degree in Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, or a related field. Ideally, applicants have research experience related to lobbying, political representation, information politics, European public policy, or the digital, climate and/or health policy fields. Prior knowledge of policymaking processes in Europe and specific country-level expertise is a pre-requisite. Publication experience in internationally recognized scientific journals is expected.

Methodologically, an interest in diverse qualitative methods is expected for the position, as well as a curiosity about other approaches, given the team also conducts quantitative and mixed methods research. Candidates are expected to contribute with collaboration skills to the research team.

High proficiency in spoken and written English is a requirement. Proficiency in other European languages is an advantage.

The position is funded through the Algorithms and the Individual in Psychiatric Diagnosis project funded by Independent Research Foundation Denmark.

In recent years, there has been significant advances in the development of machine learning (ML) algorithms for risk prediction in relation to disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Should these algorithms find practical application, they have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and to identify the best treatment for patients. The project will examine a foundational normative question about the use of algorithms for psychiatric diagnosis: Is it ever morally permissible to act on a (possibly mistaken) algorithmic prediction of a mental disorder, and if so, under what circumstances?

The project aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the epistemic and ethical justification for relying on algorithmic predictions in psychiatric diagnoses. The postdoc will be expected to work on the following tasks: (i) The epistemological criticism of statistical evidence, (ii) the proper role of algorithmic predictions in the clinical encounter, and (iii) the validity of algorithmic diagnosis of mental disorders.

As a postdoc in the project, you will be part of an open-minded and interdisciplinary research group comprising postdocs and senior researchers working on ensuring responsible development and use of AI in psychiatry and elsewhere. The Section for Consumption, Bioethics and Governance at IFRO is located at Frederiksberg Campus. It comprises scholars from a range of fields including economics, sociology, law, and philosophy and provides a welcoming environment with several social events every year.

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

The postdoc’s duties will include research on the tasks outlined in the project as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The successful candidate should have:

• A PhD in philosophy
• Interest in interdisciplinary research and an open mindset towards interdisciplinary collaboration
• Good communication skills, both regarding scientific communication and communication for a broader audience
• Preferably, experience working on topics of relevance to the topic, e.g., the epistemic status of purely statistical evidence, epistemic injustice, the right to be treated as an individual, and the validity of current diagnostic criteria of mental disorders.

Applicants must be prepared for further security screening related to international research collaborations as part of the recruitment process when UCPH considers it appropriate from a holistic consideration.
