PhD stipend in causal discovery and spatiotemporal analysis of brain signals

This PhD project is part of a bigger Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF) New Exploratory Research and Discovery grant entitled: Information Theoretic Disentanglement of the Exceptional Biological Learning Machine, which is headed by Professor Jan Østergaard. The goal is to develop novel information-theoretic methods for identifying and analyzing temporal and spatial patterns of synergy and redundancy in brain signals elicited by acoustic stimuli. The PhD project falls under Research Track 1: Informational Modes of Learning. Functional connectivity captures the statistical relationships between distinct brain regions, whereas effective connectivity characterizes the causal influences among them. Even in a resting state, the brain exhibits spontaneous neuronal activity organized into networks that regulate cognitive functions. These functional brain networks display intricate spatiotemporal dynamics that encode rich informational content. However, analyzing such interactions remains challenging due to the high dimensionality, nonlinearity, and noise inherent in neural signals. In this project, we propose to expose participants to controlled acoustic stimuli and record the corresponding brain responses. The primary goal is to develop explainable spatiotemporal causal discovery frameworks for time-series data such as EEG, leveraging prior knowledge of the driving stimuli. Specifically, the project aims to determine which features of the acoustic input elicit particular EEG responses, thereby mapping stimulus-response relationships in both space and time. Understanding these dynamic informational patterns is key to revealing how the brain tracks, processes, and learns auditory information. Methodologically, the project will explore the integration of information-theoretic decompositions, deep neural architectures, and large language models (LLMs) as powerful tools for uncovering, quantifying, and interpreting causal information flow within the brain’s dynamic networks.

Postdoc in Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and Land Use Change (LUC/iLUC)

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is considered a requirement to meet the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement, by compensating hard to abate GHG emissions and by removing already emitted CO2 from the atmosphere. To achieve negative emissions, CDR must be based on non-fossil carbon sources, e.g., carbon in biomass. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) offers a potentially low-cost opportunity for CDR, which is already developed to a comparably high technology readiness level enabling rapid implementation. While the use of biomass for heat and electricity (BE) production is well established in several European countries only few BECCS facilities operate on commercial scale.

PhD in using 13C for field phenotyping aimed at breeding for drought resilience

The PhD student will be working on a recently funded project on using d13C isotope enrichment for field phenotyping of crops in cooperation with plant breeders. The natural enrichment of 13C in plant material is affected by stomatal closure, and therefore by the level of drought stress in crops. Comparing genotypes of major field crops, we have found d13C to be correlated to deep rooting among crop genotypes, as genotypes with deep rooting can access more soil water, and thereby get less drought stressed.

PhD Scholarships in 3D Bioprinting - DTU Health Tech

The TMAT group at DTU Health Tech is offering PhD positions within 3D bioprinting. Human tissue models based on stem cells provide new means for studying human health and disease in the lab. These systems may ultimately reduce the cost of drug development and accelerate biomedical research. Multi-material 3D printing has recently emerged as a powerful tool for fabricating tissues at scale. Beyond the lab, bioprinted tissues may also be applied directly in generative medicine and autologous surgical procedures. Across these applications areas, a central and critical challenge in bioprinting is the design of appropriate biomaterials to serve as synthetic matrices and scaffold for the tissues. You will be part of a diverse team of engineers, chemists and biologists that collaborate to achieve interdisciplinary goals within this area.

Assistant Professor of HPC Simulation of Quantum Algorithms

The Department of Mathematical Sciences invites applications for an Assistant Professor position in HPC Simulation of Quantum Algorithms. The position is associated to the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH) and the Quantum for Life Center. The application deadline is November 20, 2025, and the starting date is March 1, 2026. The position is time-limited for four (4) years. The development of quantum algorithms is speeding up in step with the fast developments of the quantum hardware needed to run them. Important here is a precise understanding of the speed and viability of the developed algorithmic idea. In addition to theoretical analyses, simulations on traditional computing infrastructure has emerged as an important tool for the algorithmic development, since the quantum hardware is often too strongly limited in size or too noisy. As there is a large overhead in such simulations, high-performance computing (HPC) tools are required to perform such simulations in useful regimes. At the same time, large computational resources are being setup, both in Denmark and internationally. In order to seize this opportunity, we therefore invite applications for an assistant professorship in HPC Simulation of Quantum Algorithms. The candidate is expected to have experience with quantum algorithms, as well as a theoretical understanding and experience in the practical implementation thereof on high-performance computers. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Matthias Christandl christandl@math.ku.dk or Professor Jan Philip, solovej@math.ku.dk .

Postdoc in Organic Chemistry

This ERC-funded project explores how visible light could have driven key chemical transformations relevant to the origins of life. While ultraviolet light has long been the focus of prebiotic photochemistry, this project shifts attention to visible light, as a milder and more abundant energy source on early Earth, and investigates its ability to drive catalytic reaction cycles in aqueous solution. The central objective is to discover and characterize photoredox catalytic systems, focusing on redox reactions and simple oligomerizations. By leveraging the properties of small molecule photocatalysts, the research will develop models of prebiotic chemistry that are both chemically and geochemically plausible.

Postdoc in Neuronal Calcium Signaling

Human calmodulin mutations cause cardiac arrhythmia but have recently also been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. While we have established a good foundation to understand the molecular mechanisms in cardiac arrhythmia, we do not know the neuronal pathways. Thus, we wish to study the molecular mechanistic impact of calmodulin mutations in neurons. As our model system, we will establish cultured neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. The cells carrying mutations of interest will either be derived from patients, where we have access to some lines, or they will be generated with CRISPR. Using the differentiated cells, we explore how pathogenic calmodulin mutations impact cellular differentiation, development, and signaling. The project is a collaboration between prof. Michael Toft Overgaard and assist. Prof Helene Halkjær Jensen at Aalborg University and prof. Kristine Freude at University of Copenhagen. The position is anchored at Aalborg University. The experimental work will initially primarily be carried out at University of Copenhagen and then transition to Aalborg.

Postdoc in CO2 Electrocatalysis Coupled with Nitrogen Containing Reactants

As renewable energy continually become cheaper, the overall approach to sustainability is to electrify as much as possible. However carbon based chemicals like plastics and organic coating will by default need to be derived chemically, and most likely starting with the CO2 that they will eventually degrade to. On this basis upconverting CO2 to a variety of chemicals via CO2 electrolysis is a very promising approach. Through intensive research, much of the fundamental science behind the electrochemical reduction of CO2 is becoming well established, which now allows us to evolve beyond pure CO2 electrolysis.
