Postdoc in non-conventional yeast biotechnology for industrial side-streams valorization into bio-ba...
DTU Bioengineering is excited to announce an open postdoc position, as part of the new established WAVE consortium for saline effluents valorization into high-value compounds using non-conventional yeasts. This project turns the critical characteristics of dairy wastewater into interesting features and avoids the necessity of whey separation and drying considering it as a valuable stream to be converted into carbon sources. Hence, this project will apply microbial-based bioprocesses towards dairy WAstewater reuse and conVErsion into new bioplastics (WAVE). For this, WAVE aims to obtain low-salinity clean water ready to use in landscaping and bioplastics to be applied in several sectors.

Postdoc in the Ethics and Epistemology of Algorithmic Prediction of Psychiatric Diagnoses
The Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO) at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a 2,5-year postdoc position on the ethics and epistemology of using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict psychiatric diagnoses. The postdoc will be placed in the Section for Consumption, Bioethics and Governance. The position is funded through the Algorithms and the Individual in Psychiatric Diagnosis project funded by Independent Research Foundation Denmark. In recent years, there has been significant advances in the development of machine learning (ML) algorithms for risk prediction in relation to disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Should these algorithms find practical application, they have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and to identify the best treatment for patients. The project will examine a foundational normative question about the use of algorithms for psychiatric diagnosis: Is it ever morally permissible to act on a (possibly mistaken) algorithmic prediction of a mental disorder, and if so, under what circumstances? The project aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the epistemic and ethical justification for relying on algorithmic predictions in psychiatric diagnoses. The postdoc will be expected to work on the following tasks: (i) The epistemological criticism of statistical evidence, (ii) the proper role of algorithmic predictions in the clinical encounter, and (iii) the validity of algorithmic diagnosis of mental disorders. As a postdoc in the project, you will be part of an open-minded and interdisciplinary research group comprising postdocs and senior researchers working on ensuring responsible development and use of AI in psychiatry and elsewhere. The Section for Consumption, Bioethics and Governance at IFRO is located at Frederiksberg Campus. It comprises scholars from a range of fields including economics, sociology, law, and philosophy and provides a welcoming environment with several social events every year. Physical presence at IFRO is considered as a natural part of being an employee to contribute to a welcoming, socially pleasant, creative and innovative work environment. IFRO offers possibility for flexibility and working from home, but an employee is expected to regularly be present physically at IFRO. Inquiries about the position can be made to Head of Department Per Svejstrup, psh@ifro.ku.dk or Associate Professor Sune Holm, suneh@ifro.ku.dk
