1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Active matter comprises a wide range of living systems including cells, bacteria, and subcellular filaments, as well as artificial and synthetic materials that are continuously driven far from equilibrium by their constituent elements. Fundamental biological processes such as cell division, cell death, and the emergence of coordinated motion of cells are governed by the activation of biochemical signals by mechanical stresses and by the physics of active matter. This research project will use experimental investigation of collective cell organization with potential applications in the life sciences.

2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The focus of our research is translational hepatology within liver diseases and progression to liver and biliary tract cancers to elucidate the underlying pathogenesis of these malignancies. We emphasize on modeling disease causality, stratifying patients for advancing diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and novel therapeutic options. The Andersen group is divided into three main project themes: i) immunogenomics, ii) metabolism, and iii) epigenomic remodeling, in which we often are utilizing genome-wide approaches, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics.

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join the research project ‘The Future of Humanitarian Design (HUD)’. HUD is a four-year Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) funded project focused on the contemporary humanitarian challenges: war, refugee flows, forced displacement, etc. Such humanitarian challenges are rapidly worsening: contemporary conflicts are more frequent and protracted, refugee flows are rapidly destabilizing geopolitical structures, and humanitarian actors are under growing threat. In light of these dilemmas, HUD explores how emerging technologies, processes of aesthetic design, and engineering insights can be combined with knowledge from international relations to tackle the crisis facing humanitarianism.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This project is part of the X3 trail of CAPeX, “Sustainable Commodity and Specialty Chemicals”, led by ICN2-supervisor Professor Maria Escudero Escribano. New chemical processes are needed for sustainable production of commodity chemicals in a post-fossil society. This includes many chemical building blocks containing nitrogen and carbon such as alanine and other amino acids, urea, methylamine, and acetonitrile, to name a few. Direct electrochemical synthesis of these compounds by C-N bond formation is a growing field, but for sufficiently selective and efficient processes, we need better understanding of the catalytic mechanisms.

5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The postdoc will be working on two recently funded projects on field crop root systems. One project deals with soil C deposition in grasslands as part of overall greenhouse gas emissions from dairy production. Within this project the effects of different grassland species, grass crop management etc. on root C deposition in top- and subsoil will be studied. This will be done in cooperation with project partners studying greenhouse gass balance of other processes on dairy production farms. The other project is a Horizon Europe project focused on understanding subsoil conditions and function. In the present part of the project, the focus is on quantifying subsoil contribution to crop water and nitrogen uptake at a range of European sites. The postdoc will work on the method for injecting stable isotope tracers (2H2O and 15N) into the subsoil, testing and documenting the method, and analysis and interpretation of the data from the different sites, in cooperation with project partners. In both project, the focus is on in-situ studies under field conditions.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project InfantAD aims to determine the causal relationship between microbial intestinal metabolic activities and the occurrence of AD. The project is a collaboration between The Microbial and Nutritional immunology Group, the Functional Microbe Technology Group at Aarhus University, and researchers from Schweiz. Using in vitro and animal models in combination with advanced analytics, we will identify the causal relationship of specific dietary components, gut microbial activities, and the response of the immune system. Your task would be to test whether there are metabolites beside butyrate to relate to the protection towards AD development and the importance of specific microorganisms in an atopic dermatitis model.

9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Theoretical High Energy Group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and the Niels Bohr International Academy invites applications for a three-year postdoctoral position, starting in the Fall of 2024. The successful candidate will be part of the quantum gravity group led by Alessia Platania. The position will be funded by the Villum Young Investigator grant associated with the project “Non-perturbative strings, asymptotic safety, and the swampland”. The focus is investigating the “landscape” of effective field theories stemming from Asymptotically Safe Gravity and its interface with theoretical constraints, swampland conjectures, and observational bounds.

10. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
This scholarship offers a rare opportunity to be member of a research team investigating how society’s members organize informally on social media in order to help others during a crisis. In the last couple of decades, social media has created new avenues for organizing civic life, facilitating protest, volunteering, and help in everyday life and in crisis situations. Social media volunteering is generally organized informally, which in contrast to formal volunteering, leaves the assessment of who deserves to be helped at the discretion of the individual helper influenced by the context of social media group norms as well as wider societal discourses. Hence, for informal online volunteering, practices of deservingness is crucial to distribution of help and resources.

12. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Crop growth and yield is determined by a range of meteorological and soil variables and how these interact temporally. Among those, water and nitrogen (N) are often the key determinants of growth, their availability to plants is influenced by irrigation and N-fertilization management. In addition, the response of crop to soil water and N status is modified by interaction with climatic conditions, i.e., air temperature and humidity. Exploring the effects of these abiotic factors on crop and unravelling their dependencies requires concurrently monitoring soil/plant water status and plant physiological responses and growth/yield performance. This knowledge is essential for optimizing irrigation and N-fertilization management in sustainable crop production, supporting the green transition in agriculture.

15. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Based on unique access to large datasets of care workflows in hospitals and a team of strong industrial and societal partners including Hospitals, The Danish Patient Society, PowerNet and Systematic, iAware will develop a novel approach to tracking workflows with the aim of supporting the well-being of patients and hospital staff by providing better information about the unfolding “flow of work”. Care workflows in hospitals is an area that will be fundamentally reshaped by the shift from multi-patient rooms to single-patient rooms. Patients feel uninformed and isolated, and the risk of adverse events increases. iAware envisions an AI-trained workflow technology that prioritizes the well-being of staff AND patients.
