Postdoc in CO2 Electrocatalysis Coupled with Nitrogen Containing Reactants

As renewable energy continually become cheaper, the overall approach to sustainability is to electrify as much as possible. However carbon based chemicals like plastics and organic coating will by default need to be derived chemically, and most likely starting with the CO2 that they will eventually degrade to. On this basis upconverting CO2 to a variety of chemicals via CO2 electrolysis is a very promising approach. Through intensive research, much of the fundamental science behind the electrochemical reduction of CO2 is becoming well established, which now allows us to evolve beyond pure CO2 electrolysis.

Controlling symmetry breaking in quantum materials with ultrafast correlated disorder

Quantum materials exhibit extraordinary behaviors—such as superconductivity and topological phases—that challenge our understanding of physics and have potential applications in quantum computing, energy transport, and sensing. These properties arise from delicate interactions between electrons, spins, and lattice degrees of freedom, which are poorly understood. Small changes in one parameter can often lead to large changes in the macroscopic material properties. We can exploit this sensitivity to control material properties with light, enabling switching between quantum states on ultrafast, femtosecond, timescales and sometimes achieving states that cannot be accessed by simply changing the material’s temperature. One of the most exciting nonthermal states to emerge is transient superconductivity—though the mechanisms driving this process remain unclear. Our recent work suggests that when light pulses interact with quantum material, they generate non-equilibrium correlated disorder: short-range fluctuations in the material’s structure. We believe that these fluctuations may drive changes in the electronic structure that enable quantum phenomena to emerge. Dr Simon E. Wall simon.wall@phys.au.dk

Functional Multiomic Profiling of Circulating Immune Cells in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, neuroinflammatory disease marked by highly individualized disease progressions and responses to therapy. While treatment options have significantly improved in recent years, there is an urgent need to better understand dis-ease heterogeneity at the individual level to personalize treatment and improve outcomes. This PhD project aims to develop and apply a direct functional multiomic platform to characterize individual circulating immune cells, particularly dysregulated and autoreactive populations that could be sparse but mirror certain aspects of inflammatory brain activity. By combining serum lipidomics, single-cell transcriptomics, and functional single-cell pro-filing, we seek to build patient-specific immune signatures to stratify MS patients for targeted therapy, all information that could be gathered through the periphery. You will work at the intersection of immunology, neurobiology, and bioengineering in a cutting-edge interdisciplinary environment, primarily based at the Department of Bio-medicine at Aarhus University. Central to the project is the adaptation of an established single-cell functional assay platform, developed by our group, to assess rare and activated immune cells ex vivo. These assays will be integrated with advanced tran-scriptomic and lipidomic profiling to uncover meaningful cellular dysfunctions and path-ways involved in MS pathology. This will be done together in collaboration with re-searchers from the Amsterdam UMC, experts in inflammation and multiple sclerosis.

Postdoc in Functional Single-Cell Analysis in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of patients with Neurological ...

This project focuses on developing a novel, single-cell resolved approach to functionally analyze immune cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for improved understanding, diagnosis, and monitoring of neurological diseases. While current diagnostic methods rely heavily on bulk measurements (e.g., cytokines, cell counts), they fail to capture the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of central immune responses. Leveraging our expertise in droplet-based microfluidics, we aim to quantify functional immune cell activities — such as cytokine secretion and antibody production — directly at the single-cell level, even in low-cell-number CSF samples. Such a method would enable high-resolution immune profiling with potential application to diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), amongst others. The ultimate goal is to establish a flexible, multidimensional platform that can reveal disease-specific immune signatures, offering new avenues for early diagnosis and therapeutic insight. You will join a small, but highly motivated team already working in this direction. Department of Biomedicine at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University

PhD stipend in causal discovery and spatiotemporal analysis of brain signals

This PhD project is part of a bigger Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF) New Exploratory Research and Discovery grant entitled: Information Theoretic Disentanglement of the Exceptional Biological Learning Machine, which is headed by Professor Jan Østergaard. The goal is to develop novel information-theoretic methods for identifying and analyzing temporal and spatial patterns of synergy and redundancy in brain signals elicited by acoustic stimuli. The PhD project falls under Research Track 1: Informational Modes of Learning. Functional connectivity captures the statistical relationships between distinct brain regions, whereas effective connectivity characterizes the causal influences among them. Even in a resting state, the brain exhibits spontaneous neuronal activity organized into networks that regulate cognitive functions. These functional brain networks display intricate spatiotemporal dynamics that encode rich informational content. However, analyzing such interactions remains challenging due to the high dimensionality, nonlinearity, and noise inherent in neural signals. In this project, we propose to expose participants to controlled acoustic stimuli and record the corresponding brain responses. The primary goal is to develop explainable spatiotemporal causal discovery frameworks for time-series data such as EEG, leveraging prior knowledge of the driving stimuli. Specifically, the project aims to determine which features of the acoustic input elicit particular EEG responses, thereby mapping stimulus-response relationships in both space and time. Understanding these dynamic informational patterns is key to revealing how the brain tracks, processes, and learns auditory information. Methodologically, the project will explore the integration of information-theoretic decompositions, deep neural architectures, and large language models (LLMs) as powerful tools for uncovering, quantifying, and interpreting causal information flow within the brain’s dynamic networks.

PhD: Deep-Phenotyping of Anti-Lipid Autoantibodies in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the Single-Antibody...

Autoimmune antibodies targeting lipids are emerging as potential key players in the pathology of MS, but their diversity, specificity, and functionality remain poorly understood. This PhD project aims to dissect these antibodies at the single-antibody level, combining single-cell sequencing, DNA-encoded lipid antigens, and high-throughput droplet-based microfluidics with new probes. The student will first develop and adapt droplet microfluidic platforms to study antibody–antigen interactions using DNA-barcoded lipid structures, apply fluorescence-activated droplet sorting to isolate antibody-producing cells, and perform antigen-library and anti-body sequencing to define cross-reactivity and affinity profiles. In this project, you will work at the intersection of immunology, neurobiology, and bioengineering in a cutting-edge interdisciplinary environment, primarily based at the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University. Central to the project is the adaptation of an established single-cell functional assay platform, developed by our group, to assess rare and activated immune cells ex vivo. These assays will be also used to study autoreactive T cells, together with a doctor-al student and in collaboration with researchers from the University San Raffaele in Milano, experts in T cell biology.
