Post Doctoral Researcher in Digital Twins CO2-to-Protein production in collaboration between the Dep...

In the intersection between combatting climate change and world hunger, a new technology has emerged that enables food (protein) to be made from air (CO2) using nature’s own principles. The novel bio-technology has the potential to produce meat or milk replacement while reducing land use by over 90% and it can be done on non-fertile lands like desserts to provide food in the most desperate regions of the world, and at the same time impact the climate positively utilizing CO2 as raw material.

Postdoc in Design and Modeling of Ultra-Sensitive Magnetometers

It is possible to get a deeper understanding of how the brain functions in a non-invasive way through sensing the tiny magnetic fields produced by neuronal currents. Today, this need is primarily met by quantum sensors that must be operated at cryogenic temperatures, which greatly increases the complexity and cost of making such measurements. Therefore, research on alternative methods to detect tiny magnetic fields is a top priority.

PhD Project: Genetic underpinnings of psychiatric comorbidity

The focus of the PhD project will be on exploring the genetic underpinnings of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with severe mental illness. The research project will involve analysis of secondary data from the Danish National Registers and the iPSYCH sample. iPSYCH is a national project founded in 2012 by six leading researchers in the fields of psychiatry and genetics. The purpose of iPSYCH is to find the causes and create the basis for better treatment and prevention of five of the most serious mental disorders: autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. By examining genetic and risk factors in more than 130,000 Danes – both those who suffer from mental disorders and those who do not – we shed light on the interaction between heredity factors and the environment, which for some people result in them developing a mental disorder. Today iPSYCH is one of the world’s largest studies of the genetic and environmental causes of mental disorders and it involves more than 150 researchers within psychiatry, genetics and register-based research. You can read more about iPSYCH at ipsych.dk/en/about-ipsych.     We are seeking a talented and highly motivated person to pursue a PhD in our psychiatric epidemiology and genetics research group at the Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Denmark. This is a 3-year, full-time position funded by an external grant from The Lundbeck Foundation. Prefered start date in the first quarter of 2026.

Postdoc position in philosophy of psychology/cognitive science

The postdoc will be part of a project entitled Selection in Cognition funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and headed by Professor Søren Kyllingsbæk and Professor Thor Grünbaum. The Selection in Cognition project develops and tests a new theory of basic cognitive selection mechanisms by combining methods and perspectives from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, mathematical modelling, and philosophy. The core idea is that selection in cognition may be understood as a biased competition between representations in a stochastic race (Grünbaum, Oren, & Kyllingsbæk, 2021; Oren et al., 2024; Kyllingsbæk et al., 2025). A successful applicant is expected to familiarize themselves with recent work by Prof. Thor Grünbaum and situate their research plan within the framework of the Selection in Cognition project. For more information about the project, please contact Prof Thor Grünbaum (tgr@hum.ku.dk).

Postdoc in Endocrine Feedback regulation of Vagal Control of Appetite and Energy Balance

From a strong histological/spatial transcriptomic base you will work with a broad combination of advanced genetic rodent models, novel proprietary pharmacological tools and e.g. immunoneutralization in a close interdisciplinary collaboration with the Gerhart-Hines, Clemmensen, and Pers groups and CBMRs Enabling Biological Platforms to characterize a novel receptor system, which they have discovered to be responsible for a previously unrecognized homeostatic endocrine feed-back regulation of the central vagal system including appetite and energy homeostasis. Your project will aim at establishing novel means to improve not only the efficacy but, importantly also the tolerability of current anti-obesity treatments.

Postdoc in Chromatin and Neural Disorders

This research project addresses the critical gap in experimental models for systematically investigating the function of risk factors in neurological disorders. By leveraging human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, we will establish hiPSC-derived brain cell models relevant to the study of neurodevelopmental disorders. These in vitro systems will be complemented by mouse models to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the disease mechanisms. We will focus on elucidating chromatin regulatory processes and the interconnected gene expression programs that drive neurodevelopment and contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Tenure Track Assistant Professor in sustainable grain legume cropping

As Tenure Track Assistant Professor you will be part of a research environment having a focus on grain legumes as a central protein source in the transition to plant-based foods and as locally produced feed concentrate. Key to this is to increase the diversity of grain legumes that are possible to grow under Danish conditions to fulfill the requirements from the food and feed industry. Furthermore, we need to increase our knowledge on how nitrogen input from grain legumes is best utilized within our crop rotations. Therefore, this tenure track position aims at (i) optimizing grain legume cropping among other via inoculants and nutrient supply, (ii) improving the mechanistic understanding of grain legume physiology and resistance to stresses, (iii) increasing the palette of relevant grain legume species for Danish and Northern European cropping, and (iv) enhancing the utilization of grain legume derived nitrogen via intercropping, cover crops, and integration in crop rotations.
