1. PhD fellowship in Geoinformatics/ Remote Sensing

Summary of PhD Program:

Savanna ecosystems host 20% of the Earth’s human population, cover around 20% of the Earth’s surface and include the majority of global rangelands used for livestock production. Also, savannas contribute 30% to the total terrestrial net primary production, and are therefore key in quantifying the global carbon cycle. Savanna ecosystems are characterized by the balanced coexistence of woody and herbaceous vegetation, the distribution and abundance of which are controlled by land management, climate and possibly also increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Changes in any of these controlling factors can lead to an imbalance of a long established coexistence, and global change. The complex interactions between the forcing mechanisms of the observed changes in savanna ecosystems are not well understood, but is key in understanding the consequences for livestock production and subsistence of indigenous communities. Given the pressures of climate change and population growth, there is an urgent need for this research to support adaptation and mitigation strategies as highlighted in the global goals for sustainable development.

6. PhD Position in Environmental Toxicology

Summary of PhD Program:

The objective of the current PhD is to test the ability of TKTD models for primary producers to predict effects of chemical mixtures of herbicides, applied at variable exposures mimicking those occurring from drift and run-off scenarios under variable temperature regimes. We expect that the will parameterise the TKTD model for Lemna minor for herbicides with different toxicological modes of action at different temperatures. Then the models will be validated under variable exposure and temperature scenarios of the individual herbicides and their mixtures, mimicking exposure scenarios predicted by chemical fate models such as the FOCUS model. Finally the models will be validated on the scenarios tested in the mesocosms where also variable irradiance and possible competition with algae and other macrophytes and predation by herbivores may contribute to the observed effects.

7. PhD fellowship in Environmental Toxicology

Summary of PhD Program:

The objective of the current PhD is to establish the relationships between different species of aquatic plants and algae in terms of vulnerability, time to effect and recovery times when exposed to chemicals specifically targeting primary producers (herbicides and metal complexes such as Cu-pyrithione and Zn-pyrithione). We expect that the PhD will establish the significance of architecture (surface to volume ratio), surface properties (cuticula and cell wall composition) and methods of carbon acquisition (from air, sediment via lacuna tissue, or from the water as CO and/or HCO3) in determining species sensitivities of primary producers. The focus will be on determining the time to manifestation of effects on photosynthesis and growth parameters, and the time to recovery. The results will be used to parameterise TKTD models, and to explore which parameters have the largest effects on species differences, and to what extent the models developed for one species and one chemical mode of action can be extrapolated to other species and other chemicals.

18. PhD Position in Identification of epigenetic and F-actin regulators improving the efficiency of ex vivo gene therapy

Summary of PhD Program:

Chromatin modifications and nuclear F-actin have been shown to affect genome editing efficiency. The underlying molecular mechanism, however, is unclear, and the effects might be highly dependent on the extent and timing of the chromatin alteration. Initiated by the recent finding of our group of a methylation inihibitor improving CRISPR genome editing efficiency by HDR, we will now investigate by a CRISPR ko screen the role of chromatin and nuclear F-actin modifying genes on the efficiency of the repair of a single nucleotide variant by genome editing. This will identify novel pathways to increase the efficiency of defined gene repair during gene therapy of rare diseases.

2. PhD scholarship in Algorithmic Fairness and Migration Law

Summary of Doctoral Project:

‘AFAR’ ‘Algorithmic Fairness for Asylum Seekers and Refugees’ investigates the use of new technologies – and particularly, forms of artificial intelligence (AI) – in migration and asylum governance. This includes automation of processes previously done by humans, using simple closed-rule algorithms, as well as more complex machine learning and AI systems. These new technologies are set to radically transform governance, but also risk human rights violations and unfairness, especially in areas such as migration and asylum where the ‘data subjects’ are already disempowered and disenfranchised. This calls for sustained research on what fairness means as a concept, how it can be institutionalized, and how new methods related to data analysis and machine learning can be leveraged in order to support fairness in asylum and migration governance. The PhD will define his or her own research idea and project within the AFAR project. The PhD will be responsible for securing a strong link to migration law within the project and may engage with formal-legal, law-data science, socio-legal approaches, and/or legal philosophical analysis.

13. PhD fellowship in Protein Stability

Summary of Doctoral Project:

A number of studies have shown that many disease-linked gene variants operate by destabilizing the structure of the encoded protein. In turn, this causes the protein to engage with molecular chaperones or in more severe cases to the degradation of the protein via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, many details of this so called protein quality control (PQC) system remain unresolved. To approach this, the Ph.D. student will apply a number of advanced screening methods in yeast and mammalian cells to study the PQC of model disease-linked proteins and protein variants. The project will involve various molecular biology techniques including deep mutational scanning, genetic screens, next-generation sequencing, fluorescence microscopy, cell sorting and analyses of protein-protein interactions.

14. PhD fellowship in Legume and Perennial Crop Root Phenotyping

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Legume crops are important for protein production. However, their root systems are typically less extensive than that of other crops, reducing their resilience as they are sensitive to drought conditions. Perennial crops are of renewed interest due to their known ability to sequester high amounts of C into the soil, through their permanent root growth and activity. In both cases this lead to an interest in breeding for improved root systems, and thus for root phenotyping. Within the PhD project, root phenotyping of faba bean and white clover genotypes will be made, quantifying the root growth itself, as well as differences in drought stress and deep water uptake. Root growth will be phenotyped using rhizoton techniques, including minirhizotrons in the RadiMax semi-field root phenotyping facility at University of Copenhagen. Root data will be obtained using the AI based image analysis software RootPainter. The RadiMax facility will also be used to do phenotyping for water stress and deep water uptake, using stable isotope labelling techiques. White clover will be studied growing in pure stand, and in mixture with grasses, as the crop is normally grown.

16. PhD fellowship in marine microbial ecology

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The import of nitrogen (N) through biological N2-fixation is essential for plankton productivity in vast areas of the global ocean. In fact, this conversion of N2 gas to ammonium available for growth is fuelling up to 50% of the new production in some regions. N2-fixation in the Arctic Ocean has been largely overlooked and climate change is predicted to stimulate this activity. The aim of the overarching project is to determine the importance of N2-fixation in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. The PhD student will focus on the magnitude and distribution of N2-fixation in the Arctic Ocean, molecular identification of the actively N2-fixing groups, and identification of the environmental conditions governing their fixation. The work will entail cutting-edge molecular, physiological, and biogeochemical approaches (Real-Time PCR, high-throughput sequencing, metagenomics, bioinformatics, and 15N tracer techniques in association with laboratory studies and field sampling. Cruises to the Arctic Ocean as well as visits to the collaborating labs (DTU and Univ. Tokyo) are planned.

20. PhD fellowship in ‘Odontogenic infection spread’ at the Department of Odontology

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The project is a scientific collaboration between the Department of Odontology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, and the Departments of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Cardiology, and Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet. Severe infections as infective endocarditis and cerebral abscesses may arise from otherwise inconspicuous oral inflammatory conditions like caries with periapical involvement, periodontitis and pericoronitis. According to national and international guidelines, it is recommended to eliminate potential infectious foci to reduce the systemic bacterial load and to prevent recurrence of disease. However, there is currently limited evidence on the extensiveness of focus elimination needed to effectively achieve this goal. The etiology behind the development of a local inflammation into a potentially life-threatening infection requiring hospitalization is also largely unknown.

1. PhD position in Philosophy of Science

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The aim of the overall research project is to develop an empirically informed philosophical framework for addressing the conservationist’s dilemma. This dilemma arises from the fact that, in their efforts protect (critically) endangered species, conservation policy makers can be confronted with disputes among biological taxonomists about how to individuate those species in the first place. On the one hand, species conservation programs cannot wait for the resolution of such disputes; on the other hand, these programs risk being misdirected if they are rooted in flawed taxonomic perspectives. In addressing this dilemma, the project will break new ground in the burgeoning philosophical scholarship on the role of values in science, advance research in the philosophy of taxonomy, and forge new connections between these domains of research. In addition, the project will provide actionable philosophical knowledge for taxonomists and conservationists who face the conservationist’s dilemma in practice.

2. Three PhD fellowships in plant immunity

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The projects are part of the research project “PlantsGoImmune”, lead by Professor Hans Thordal-Christensen and financed by Novo Nordisk Fonden. Plants have a highly complex immune system where recognition of pathogens activates signalling cascades to trigger immune responses. Using the powdery mildew fungus, we have uncovered that membrane trafficking processes in the plant cell are essential for building immune structures at the site of invasion. Alternatively, the attacked plant cell can undergo a programmed cell death reaction that stops this pathogen. Meanwhile, pathogens secrete effector proteins that target and counteract these immune responses.

7. PhD Fellowship in Biosynthesis of Plant Natural Products

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The glaucoma drug pilocarpine is produced by jaborandi plants, which are native to the Amazon rainforest. In contrast to wild jaborandi plants, cultivated plants only produce low amounts of pilocarpine. The large demand for wild jaborandi has led to overharvesting, thus leading to its official listing as a threatened species. In this collaborative project, the Geu-Flores laboratory at the University of Copenhagen has joined forces with the group of Guilherme Oliveira at the Vale Institute of Technology (Belém, Brazil) to elucidate the biosynthesis pathway of pilocarpine in jaborandi. The elucidation of this fully unknown pathway will pave the way for the biotechnological production of pilocarpine and relieve the pressure on wild jaborandi, thus contributing to the preservation of biodiversity in the “Planet’s lungs”.

11. PhD Fellowship in “Protective Mechanisms of Selenocyanate in Inflammatory Disease

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Chronic inflammation is a repetitive cycle of immune cell infiltration and activation that underlies the development of many diseases, particularly atherosclerosis. Activated immune cells release the enzyme myeloperoxidase, which catalyses the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with chloride ions to form the potent oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl, the active component in bleach). This oxidant plays a critical role in the immune system by killing microbes to combat infection. However, excessive production of HOCl in chronic inflammation causes extensive, irreversible host tissue damage, which results in disease. As a result, there is widespread interest in the development of strategies to combat HOCl-induced damage in a number of chronic disease settings like atherosclerosis. This project will explore the use of selenocyanate as a means to prevent the tissue damage seen in chronic inflammatory pathologies without compromising innate immune defenses. This is important for the development of novel therapies for atherosclerosis and could also help to underpin development of new approaches to combat pathogens with resistance to other treatments.

12. PhD fellowship in Experimental High Energy physics

Summary of Doctoral Project:

The LHC will restart data taking in May 2022, for its third Run. This provides a unique opportunity to do new measurements of B hadrons properties with the ATLAS experiment. Recent results from the LHCB experiment point to lepton flavour universality violation effects. If these effects are indeed confirmed, they would seem to point to new, beyond-standard-model physics. ATLAS is sensitive to such effects, and therefore will help to confirm or refute the discrepancies, and possibly point out which new physics is behind them. This research project at NBI aims at investigating lepton flavour violating effects in B hadron decays with the ATLAS Run 3 data and possibly point to new physics. The Phd student will join the ATLAS NBI group, and Assoc. Prof. S.Xella, and work in the ATLAS experiment’s B physics program, focusing on searches for lepton universaility violation effects.

16. PhD fellowship in ‘Molecular mechanisms of replication-coupled DNA-protein crosslink repair’ at the Center for Chromosome Stability (CCS), Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM)

Summary of Doctoral Project:

Genome instability is a hallmark of inherited human disorders and age-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Eukaryotic genomes are replicated by complex molecular machines called replisomes, which frequently encounter naturally occurring ‘obstacles’ that can prevent faithful DNA replication and induce genome instability. Covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are one such obstacle and are estimated to occur at thousands of sites/genome/day in proliferating cells. Eukaryotic cells require multiple mechanisms to overcome DPCs, including replication-coupled proteolysis (‘DPC repair’). The objective of the project is to uncover the molecular mechanisms of replication coupled DPC repair. The project will involve in vitro reconstitution and biochemical characterisation of key steps in the eukaryotic DPC repair pathway, which will be imaged using time-resolved cryo-EM. The research will benefit from access to cutting-edge electron microscopy facilities at the Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy (CFIM; https://cfim.ku.dk/), which houses Copenhagen’s node of the Danish Cryo-EM Facility.
