1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cardiometabolic Variant-to-Function
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project is a truly interdisciplinary project supervised by Professor Ruth Loos and co-supervised by Associate Professor Camilla Schéele and in collaboration with the Pers lab at CBMR, with the opportunity for short study-stays abroad. The Loos Group aims to identify the genetic and non-genetic determinants of body weight regulation to gain insight into the deeper layers of biology that underlie obesity and metabolism. Additionally, the group aims to improve prediction, prevention, and treatment through the implementation of precision health strategies.
Application Deadline: 20-09-2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Science Education Research
Summary of PhD Program:
We seek candidate for an exciting research project focused on the professional identity of science teachers. The project aims to explore how professional identity develops and what impact in-service training and further education may have on science teachers. The project will provide insights into teachers’ perception of their own teacher professionalism and the factors that have shaped them as science educators, both at individual and structural levels. This may involve examining perceived barriers and opportunities in science teaching, differences and similarities among teachers with a background in different science disciplines, and the importance of teacher collaboration for identity formation.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project focuses on the mechanisms involved in specific ubiquitin and proteasome dependent degradation of structural destabilized missense protein variants linked to human genetic disorders. The project will involve a broad range of molecular biological techniques, including various high throughput screening technologies with human cell lines and yeast, FACS, and NGS.
Application Deadline: 15-09-2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Early Detection of Infection in PRRS-free herds
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project is part of a new GUDP-project starting 1 January 2025 with the title “Early Detection of Infection in PRRS-free herds”. The aim of the project is to develop methods for early detection of new PRRS infections in herds that are free of this disease. This is key to achieving freedom from the disease in Denmark as the national reduction plan is rolled out and we approach a large number of negative herds.
Application Deadline: 15-09-2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in extragalactic stellar streams
Summary of PhD Program:
Pearson’s Extragalactic Streams group works on a variety of topics including globular cluster streams in dwarf galaxies, developing stream-finding algorithms to search for streams in new datasets, developing stream fitting tools for extragalactic streams, and predicting the behavior of stellar streams within different dark matter frameworks. The group works at the intersection of theory and observations, and analyzes large-scale cosmological simulations, run stream simulations, while comparing their models to data.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Urban Frontiers
Summary of PhD Program:
The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in human history. However, no land, that government and developers see as future cities in the Global South, is vacant. There is no empty ‘no-man’s land.’ Individual citizens, social movements, squatters, and urban developers already engage in making their land use look legal. Urban property development in the Global South therefore often starts out in illegality, and only subsequently does it become legal. The project investigates how land is accessed, coded, and controlled in urban peripheries.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in cosmochemistry and planetary sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
We seek highly-motivated individuals with a strong background in isotope geochemistry, preferably with experience in mass spectrometry and clean laboratory techniques, to join a dynamic research group and take full advantage of the state-of-the-art isotope facilities that the institution offers to pursue innovative research. These include thermal-ionization and multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (Thermo Scientific Triton and Neptune, respectively) as well as ultra-clean laboratories. The candidate must possess the credentials necessary to qualify for the PhD programme at the University of Copenhagen.
Application Deadline: 01-10-2024
8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Economic Geography
Summary of PhD Program:
The project seeks to provide insights informing policies to minimize the costs of job destruction and maximize the benefits of job creation in a socially fair and geographically equal way, in the wider patterns of green transition. These policies will be informed by findings on the socially and geographically uneven implications of this process across Europe and underlying factors. The PhD fellow will contribute to the project efforts to a) conceptualize contemporary job creation and destruction, b) collect secondary data on labour markets across EU regions, c) shape methods to collect and then analyze questionnaire data in the Danish regions, and d) conduct interviews and focus groups with local stakeholders in Kalundborg municipality in Denmark.
Application Deadline: 29-09-2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Communication
Summary of PhD Program:
The core of this project is to bring to light and critically assess women’s intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia. The guiding hypothesis is that the Nordic way of women’s Enlightenment significantly differs from developments prevalent in other regions of Europe, and that women played a decisive role in creating a sustainable identification of the Nordic countries with gender equality.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Detecting and Mitigating Quantum Decoherence in superconducting circuits
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project addresses the decoherence sources limiting qubit lifetimes by investigating and developing relevant and novel superconducting circuits. This includes optimizing designs, materials choice, packaging, and characterization methods (high throughput) of the superconducting qubits/circuits. Special focus will be on understanding decoherence mechanisms in different superconducting materials and material combinations. Furthermore, the project will investigate the origin of two-level systems and their relation to defects via theoretical modeling.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in computational and mathematical modelling of flow and fracture in ice sheets
Summary of PhD Program:
The focus of the PhD project will be to study fracture and damage formation of ice sheets and how it induces structural weaknesses that can facilitate fast flow and precondition ice shelves for disintegration, and potentially causing irreversible grounding line retreats. The project will bne to develop and implement continuum formulations of stress-based poro-damage dynamics and hydrofracturing, using new e.g. phase field methods. Models will be validate against date obtained from inverse modelling of continent-wide surface velocity and fracture fields derived from satellite imagery.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in computational biology at the Globe Institute
Summary of PhD Program:
The broader focus of the PhD is the development and implementation of novel statistical methods for the analyses of DNA sequencing data. Of specific relevance to this Ph.D. position are methods for estimating genetic distance and full phylogenetic trees while taking into account molecular evolution substitution models. Secondly, the hosting centre, the CAEG Center of Excellence, is devoted to the generation of ancient environmental genomes as part of a diverse suite of projects spanning million-year-old material from extreme arctic environments to DNA sequencing data from lost civilizations in southeast Asia. The Ph.D. candidate will have the opportunity to develop programs to facilitate and drive the data analyses of one or more of these large projects.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Ethnology and Health Humanities
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project is expected to contribute to the Skin Health project by ethnographically investigating skincare practices in a life course perspective. Throughout the life course skin is an ongoing matter of concern and enacted as an active canvas for care, social relations, industrial interests, power and inequality. The aim of the PhD project is to study contemporary everyday skin work related to infants/toddlers, teenagers, and older adults, as examples of critical skin stages over the life course.
