1. PhD fellow in Diet-Microbiome interactions
Summary of Doctoral Project:
The position is available in the Research Group of Gut Microbes, Diet and Health, which conducts research to understand the mechanisms by which the gut microbiota contributes to food digestion and health. The interactions between diet, gut microbiota and health are studied both in infant cohorts and in human dietary intervention studies. We apply cutting-edge metabolomics and microbiomics, and collaborate with leading national and international microbiome researchers and researchers in immunology and intestinal host receptors to elucidate host-microbial cross-talk.

3. PhD fellowship on prediction methods of in-use physical stability of protein drug products
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Physical instability is a major challenge for the development of biopharmaceuticals and involves a large variety of physical degradation pathways. Which degradation pathway dominates the instability is highly context-dependent and varies with protein, formulation and applied stress conditions. Despite large focus and efforts in this field, a comprehensive understanding of the various pathways and the subsequent different types of aggregates is not obtained yet. The project will explore the possibility to implement a broad range of methods for predicting the physical stability of drug formulations during stress conditions related to patient handling (in-use simulation).

7. PhD fellowship in Computer Science
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Organismal morphology is studied in biology to decode evolutionary relationships among species and test hypotheses about the evolutionary tree. The Stochastic Morphometry project aims for developing statistical models of morphological change through evolution, thereby making phylogenetic inference tools applicable for studying shape evolution. The aim is to revolutionize how evolutionary analyses of morphological data are performed to fully take advantage of the rich information of changes in complex biological structures. The developed models will be applied to studies of a rich set of biological data. The project is lead by Stefan Sommer (UCPH), Rasmus Nielsen (UCPH, Berkeley), Mads Nielsen (UCPH) and Christy Hipsley (UCPH).

14. PhD fellow in Particle Astrophysics at the Niels Bohr International Academy and DARK
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Neutrinos are weakly interacting particles playing a fundamental role in astrophysical environments. Because of their feeble interacting nature, neutrinos escape unimpeded from their sources, hence being powerful messengers of extreme astrophysical sites not otherwise accessible. We are interested in unveiling the nature of these puzzling particles and at using them as messengers of the engine behind the most energetic events in our Universe.

18. PhD fellowship in Neolithic archaeology
Summary of Doctoral Project:
The overall goal of the project is to explain why figurative representations are missing among Northern Europe’s first farmers. As farming spread from southeast to central Europe, the number of figurines decreased and when agriculture expanded to northern Europe, they had disappeared. The project seeks explanations for the absence of figurines in deep socio-cultural and ritual-religious differences dividing Neolithic Europe in a figurative southeastern part and an imageless northern part. This will include the identification and analyses of shifts in social organization and ritual-religious practices across early agricultural communities in southeast and central Europe.
