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.

Our research focuses on understanding how endocrine and metabolic signals coordinate physiology and behavior through communication between peripheral metabolic tissues and the nervous system. Using integrative genetic, physiological, behavioral, and imaging approaches, we aim to uncover conserved mechanisms that regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis and organismal adaptation to nutritional, physical, and metabolic stress. This two-year position will investigate how exercise-induced hormonal signaling and molecular pathways regulate insulin sensitivity and metabolic adaptation in adipose and muscle tissues. The project will further examine how exercise-dependent endocrine signaling influences whole-body physiology, including energy balance and behavioral outputs such as feeding, sleep, and physical activity. The successful candidate will have experience combining in vivo physiological and behavioral analyses with molecular and genetic approaches to study endocrine and metabolic signaling across tissues in Drosophila. Prior experience with metabolism, insulin signaling and exercise biology - particularly using Drosophila genetics - is a strong advantage. Information on the department can be found at: https://www1.bio.ku.dk/ Our research Our work has identified gut–brain signaling mechanisms that coordinate feeding behavior, sleep, and systemic metabolic regulation, as well as endocrine organ crosstalk that modulates sugar tolerance and metabolic resilience. 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. Exploring molecular mechanisms linking exercise signaling to insulin pathway regulation and metabolic homeostasis. Developing and applying physiological assays, behavioral analyses, and molecular approaches. Driving independent research projects while contributing to collaborative initiatives within the research group and with international collaborators. Mentoring students and contributing to publications in high-impact journals. The position provides excellent opportunities to develop interdisciplinary expertise in exercise biology, metabolic physiology, and endocrine signaling.

Post-doc on probing exotic quantum states in conductive Metal-Organic Frameworks

Your research will look at a special class of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that is based on redox-active organic building blocks. These building blocks enforce charge delocalization and give rise to exotic quantum states that relate to superconductivity. This project will focus on two types of phenomena: (i) Charge Density Wave (CDW) order in magnetic, lanthanide-based MOFs and (ii) electride-like, quasiatomic electron states that reside in the pores of certain MOFs. The aim of the project is to map these states with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy (STM/STS) and where possible, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Your work will focus on the spectroscopy, and does not involve single-crystal synthesis. This project involves intensive international collaboration with multiple research groups.

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.
