4. Postdoctoral position in aphasiology

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The Postdoc will be part of the project Grammar and agrammatism in Greenlandic (GreenGram), financed by Independent Research Fund Denmark. This project addresses a challenge raised by the first study of agrammatism in a polysynthetic language, Greenlandic. In this study, we found slow speech rates and short utterances, as expected of agrammatic speech, but almost none of the grammatical problems that gave agrammatism its name. The challenge raised by the study can be formulated in two questions: 1. Can the findings in the pilot study be replicated on a larger set of data collected from a group of well-diagnosed subjects? 2. What makes Greenlandic grammar, and presumably polysynthetic grammar in general, (seemingly) immune to agrammatism?

5. Postdoctoral position in fact-checking, facts and truth in political debate

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The TMT project investigates questions of facts and truths in political debate and focuses primarily on the practice and role of journalistic fact-checkers. The project understands the establishment of facts as a fundamentally rhetorical practice where people argue for and try to gain support for their way of understanding and conveying the truth. Moreover, the project highlights that this happens in a world where traditional authorities and institutions are severely challenged, while, at the same time, the rise of the internet, social media, algorithms, AI, and machine learning are fundamentally reshaping media and politics, making it possible for new types of actors to gain power in a hybrid media system. In this, fact-checkers unquestionably play a central role, but – as the TMT project argues – not as objective truth-tellers, but as an integrated part of the argumentative process over truth.

9. Post-doc position in Philosophy of Science / STS

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

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.

13. Post Doc in climate variability over the last two millennia linking the Greenland/North Atlantic/ Nordic region

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

As part of the Independent Research Foundation Denmark funded project “GreenPlanning”,the Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth group is offering a postdoc position for a period of 2 years commencing 1 December 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. In Denmark and Northern Europe winters are relatively warm and moist, while summers only rarely are hot and dry, providing us a hospital climate despite a northern latitude. However, due to frequent blocking in the atmospheric flow extended periods of severe precipitation or temperature anomalies often prevail. In GreenPlanning the aim is to provide new knowledge to explain some of these major year-to-year and decadal scale fluctuations in weather related to large-scale atmospheric modes of variability. Specifically, we target the influence from Greenland Ice sheet melt on climate fluctuations in our region. We hypothesize that variations in the melt water contributes to shaping of the surrounding sea surface temperatures and in term control large-scale atmospheric circulation.

21. Postdoc in cellular processes that modulate skeletal muscle mass and insulin sensitivity in health and disease

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The decline in muscle mass and function represents one of the most dramatic and significant changes during the ageing process and is accelerated in age-related conditions such as diabetes and cancer. Skeletal muscle is a key organ for movement, respiration, and mastication and is critically implicated in organismal metabolic control. We and others have discovered that small Rho GTPases regulate muscle mass and insulin sensitivity, however, little is known about their regulation. Addressing that knowledge gap could facilitate development of therapeutic approaches to treat conditions associated with loss of muscle mass and insulin resistance, incl. sarcopenia, diabetes and/or cancer cachexia.

Specifically, we view the adipocyte as a signalling hub that receives and integrates a diverse array of neuronal, metabolite, and hormonal cues. These signals collectively shape adipocyte biology and match metabolic output to balance systemic energy demands. Brown and beige adipocytes are types of fat cells that possess a profound capacity to expend energy and are classified more generally as thermogenic adipocytes. This calorie-burning capacity is particularly appealing as a potential therapeutic approach to counteract metabolic disease. However, we currently lack the means of safely harnessing thermogenic adipose activity.

7. Postdoc in Bidirectional relationship between the circadian clock and metabolism in type 2 diabetes

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

Circadian rhythms are driven by an internal biological clock that is synchronized by Zeitgebers (time-keepers) that anticipate day/night cycles to optimize the physiology and behavior of organisms. The circadian program is regulated at both a central and peripheral level, and cell autonomous circadian rhythms are generated by a transcriptional auto-regulatory feedback loop. A basic paradigm of circadian regulation of metabolism is that oscillations of gene expression generate daily rhythms in cellular metabolism. While disrupted circadian rhythms alter metabolism, the extent to which these processes are impaired in humans with obesity or type 2 diabetes is unknown.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The postdoc will be part of a project entitled Who are We? funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and headed by Prof. Dan Zahavi. Applicants are asked to situate and develop their research plan within the framework of the Who are we? project. The larger project investigates what it means to feel, think, and act as part of a we. Its guiding hypothesis is that a systematic account of the we must be embedded in a more comprehensive investigation of selfhood and social cognition. The project will systematically develop this hypothesis by combining cross-disciplinary theorizing with historical scholarship. In particular, it will draw on seminal contributions from classical phenomenology. In addition to philosophers, the project will also involve social scientists (from social anthropology, sociology, clinical psychology, and political theory).

28. Postdoc in 3D Printing Interactive Metamaterial-based Haptic Devices

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

Our research aims towards a future where functional interactive devices can be customized and locally 3D-printed on demand rather than being generically mass-produced in remote factories. We are developing fabrication methods, sensing and actuation approaches, and new interaction techniques that will enable devices to be printed without embedded components like electronics, vastly simplifying both fabrication and recycling. As part of this larger research effort, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate methods for 3D printing objects which can dynamically alter their haptic responses to force, using metamaterials to avoid the need to embed electronics or other non-printable components. Our goal is to develop techniques for creating and manipulating metamaterial structures which can respond to external signals by altering physical properties such as stiffness, stress, or strain. Such materials could be used to print customized wearables for physical rehabilitation, add feedback to hand tools to teach effective use, or form part of social robots that adapt their bodies to different situations.
