Shape the future of your
research in Denmark

Postdoc in Phenomenological Psychology or Psychiatry

The postdoc will join the project; Understanding Experiences of Mood Disturbances in Depression, funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark and led by Anthony Vincent Fernandez. The four-year project aims to develop an initial taxonomy of mood disturbances experienced by people diagnosed with depression, disambiguating poorly defined symptom constructs, such as “depressed mood”. This research is intended to contribute to more precise systems of classification and diagnosis, helping to parse the heterogeneity of conditions and experiences currently captured by the category of major depressive disorder. The project uses an innovative combination of qualitative and philosophical methods, including in-depth, phenomenological interviews with people living with depression; an online survey of how psychiatrists understand mood disturbances in depression; and both qualitative and philosophical approaches to analyzing the generated data. The project includes an interdisciplinary team of researchers from philosophy, psychology, and psychiatry. The postdoc will join for the first two years of the project, which focus primarily on the generation and analysis of qualitative data. Some interview data has already been collected, and data analysis will be carried out collectively by the research team. Your job responsibilities As postdoc in phenomenological psychology or psychiatry, your position is primarily research-based but may also involve teaching assignments. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. You will work both independently and collaboratively with colleagues on your project. Your primary responsibility will be to carry out phenomenological qualitative interviews with people diagnosed with depression and collaborate on the analysis of interview data. While we have recruitment partners in Denmark, it is also possible to carry out interviews with participants in your native language outside of Denmark. If you are unable to carry out interviews in Danish, please include a brief description of your proposed recruitment strategy, including current relationships with potential recruitment partners, in your application documents. As a secondary responsibility, you will collaborate on a large-scale, open-ended online survey of how psychiatrists understand mood disturbances in depression. Your main tasks will consist of: • Recruiting study participants and establishing and maintaining relationships with recruitment partners • Carrying out phenomenological qualitative interviews and analyzing interview transcripts • Designing and distributing an open-ended online survey and analyzing survey data • Publishing and disseminating research Secondary tasks may consist of: • Organizing project-related events, such as workshops and conferences • Engaging in public-facing science communication • Teaching and supervising Further information If you have any questions about the position, please contact Anthony Vincent Fernandez (afernandez@health.sdu.dk ). Your place of work will be at the Department of Psychology, Campusvej 55, 5230 Odense M, Denmark.

Postdoc position in method development in human statistical genetics, with a focus on classification...

Research area and project description Applications are invited for a postdoc position at the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics, Aarhus University, starting from 1st October 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will be for two years. The postdoc will be supervised by Professor Doug Speed, and based at the Department of Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) at Aarhus University. Dr Speed's research involves developing statistical methods for better analysing data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), with a particular focus on improving our understanding of human complex traits. Dr Speed has developed the software package LDAK (www.ldak.org). The position will be mainly funded by an ERC consolidator grant, aimed at finding novels ways to classify complex diseases based on genetic data: “Many common diseases are highly heterogeneous, meaning that two individuals can be diagnosed with the same disease but have very different progressions or respond very differently to the same medication. These heterogeneous diseases affect a sizeable proportion of the population. For example, approximately one in four people will develop a heterogeneous brain disorder (e.g., a neurological condition such as epilepsy or Parkinson’s Disease, or a psychiatric condition such as depression or schizophrenia) To effectively treat a patient with a heterogeneous disease, it is necessary to quickly and accurately identify their subtype. At present, patient subtypes are decided using only clinical observations, and the process is highly suboptimal. For example, the available subtypes are often incomplete or poorly-defined, meaning that many patients are wrongly classified or can not be classified at all. Previous research indicates that for many heterogeneous diseases, the classification of patients can be improved by incorporating genetic information. However, for this to become a reality, requires statistical tools that do not yet exist. This project will develop novel statistical tools for classifying heterogeneous diseases based on genetic information.” As such, the primary aim of the postdoc is to develop a new tool for finding subtypes of heterogeneous diseases, that are more informative than existing clinically-derived subtypes (e.g., that better guide prognosis or drug treatment). These subtypes might be based on genetic information (e.g., SNPs and metabolites) or heritable phenotypes (e.g., biomarkers and traits related to the target disease). There is also scope within the postdoc for developing “more standard” GWAS tools (e.g., tools for association analysis, constructing polygenic scores and understanding genetic architecture).

Postdoc in psychiatric epidemiology

The Department of Affective Disorders at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University invites applications for a position as Postdoc in the field of psychiatric epidemiology as per 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a fixed-term full-time position for 2 years. The project is called “Risk stratification for early-onset major depressive disorder”. This is a multi-year, multi-site, international collaboration led by Dr. Francis Rice, Professor at Cardiff University, UK and co-director of the Wolfson Centre for Young People’s Mental Health. The offspring of parents with mental illness represent a major lost opportunity for early intervention. Having a parent with mental illness is the most common potential risk factor for early-onset depression. Early-onset depression (by age 24) is difficult to treat and is associated with a recurrent/chronic course and poor outcomes. Early intervention strategies are effective when targeted at this group. However, we know that very few access support. There is also substantial variation in absolute levels of risk meaning that all offspring of parents with mental illness are unlikely to require early intervention, and service constraints make this infeasible. Early detection and intervention that is personalized dependent on absolute level of risk is therefore needed to improve access to early intervention for those at ultra-high-risk of developing early-onset depression. The goal of this project is to harness big data to stratify risk for early-onset depression. The goal of the Danish work package, which is led by Dr. Katherine Musliner at the AU Department of Clinical Medicine, is to use Danish register-based data to validate the risk-stratification tool developed in the Welsh data. As such, a background in prediction modeling and experience working with Danish registry data is highly preferred. Your job responsibilities As Postdoc in the department of affective disorders, your position is primarily research-based but may also involve teaching assignments. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. In your daily work, you will work closely with colleagues on your project, where you will receive supervision and guidance. Your main tasks will consist of: Independent research of high international quality, including publication. A limited amount of teaching and supervision Some degree of contribution towards attracting external research funding Contributions to internal and external efforts to disseminate research findings to relevant academic, clinical and patient stakeholder groups Participation in, and active contribution to, the development of the working environment of the department, including journal clubs and research seminars You will report to the Head of The Department of Clinical Medicine, Christian Fynbo Christiansen.
