Declaration of interest regarding PhD project on the long-term safety and benefits of ADHD medicatio...
ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in childhood and is characterized by persistent difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. The condition can lead to significant challenges at school, at home, and in social relationships. In Denmark, around 5% of children and young people currently receive medication for ADHD—a proportion that has increased markedly over the past decade. Although many experience improvement in their symptoms, we still know far too little about how these medications affect children and adolescents in the long term. In particular, there is limited knowledge about the benefits and risks of treatment in real-world settings outside the short, controlled framework of clinical trials. In this project, we will combine Danish and Norwegian health registers with school data, clinical assessments of symptoms, and information on municipal services. We will analyze how ADHD medication affects the risk of serious adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, substance misuse, and impaired growth. At the same time, we will examine how medication influences children’s schooling, well-being, and symptom levels. Finally, we will map how access to non-pharmacological support—such as parent training and school-based assistance—varies across the country. The project will generate new knowledge about how ADHD medication works in real-life settings and will provide a stronger basis for decision-making for families, professionals, and policymakers. For further information about the project, please contact: Helene Kildegaard Department of Public Health University of Southern Denmark (SDU) E-mail: hckildegaard@health.sdu.dk The pharmacoepidemiology group at Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Environmental Medicine (CPPEM), Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, is looking for applicants for a fully funded 3-year PhD scholarship. The position is to be filled from June 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is part of a newly funded research project aiming to understand long-term safety and beneficial effects of ADHD medication in children, adolescents and young adults as well geographical variation in access to support and diagnostic pathways.

In addition, we have uncovered hormonal signals and nutrient-dependent pathways that regulate insulin/TOR signaling, intracellular cholesterol dynamics, and metabolic flexibility. Building on this foundation, this project will investigate how exercise-induced signaling networks regulate muscle adaptation and how peripheral metabolic tissues communicate with the brain to control feeding behavior, appetite regulation, sleep, and metabolic homeostasis. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding how hormonal signals released during exercise influence tissue function and systemic energy balance. The overall aim of the project is to uncover fundamental principles by which exercise-regulated molecular pathways and interorgan communication coordinate muscle function, behavioral adaptation, and metabolic health across tissues and organ systems. Your job As a postdoctoral researcher, you will design and perform experiments to uncover how exercise-induced signaling regulates muscle physiology, endocrine communication, and metabolic behavior. You will work with Drosophila exercise paradigms and apply advanced genetic, physiological, behavioral, imaging, and molecular techniques. Your work will include: Investigating hormonal and metabolic signals released during exercise Characterizing how exercise signals regulate muscle function and endurance adaptation Studying body-brain communication pathways controlling feeding behavior, appetite regulation, and sleep.

PhD fellowships in experimental materials chemistry and electrocatalysis
Project 1 will focus on the synthesis/structure/property relations in disordered high entropy oxide materials for with a strong emphasis on structural analysis using x-ray scattering techniques. The project will concern how structural disorder can be controlled in metal oxide synthesis. The candidate will be involved in the development of synthesis methods for oxides with structural disorder and will advance structural characterization of the materials using high-level synchrotron techniques. The candidate will be especially involved in understanding the structural changes taking place during synthesis reactions, and in situ synchrotron experiments will be central for the work. A major part of the PhD project will be data acquisition and high-level analysis. The project will be supervised by Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen. Project 2 concerns the electrocatalytic properties of mixed metal oxides. Mixed-metal oxides represent a promising strategy for the design of economically and environmentally scalable catalysts and supports for water electrolyzers. However, finding optimal materials requires exploration of a vast composition space, the exploration of which requires medium- to high-throughput methods of synthesis, characterization and testing. We are looking for a PhD candidate to develop and apply such methods.

Heterologous Production of Natural Products in Photorhabdus laumondii
The project aims to unlock the biosynthetic potential of Photorhabdus laumondii as a novel heterologous host for the production of RiPPs (ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides). Despite the identification of numerous RiPP biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus species, many remain uncharacterized due to poor expression in the native strains or conventional heterologous hosts like E. coli. This project addresses the critical challenge of low-yield RiPP production by developing a streamlined workflow for cloning, expression, and fermentation in P. laumondii, a genetically tractable bacterium with a rich natural product repertoire and ecological adaptations that favor non-toxic metabolite production.
