DTU Tenure Track Researcher in Experimental High Pressure Phase Behavior for CO2 Storage and Other S...

The position involves conducting advanced measurements of high-pressure phase equilibria and thermophysical properties related to CO2 storage and other high-pressure processes supporting sustainable technologies. The successful candidate will also contribute to the development and improvement of experimental methods and measurement techniques in this field. High-pressure phase behavior and thermophysical properties are essential for the reliable design and safe operation of CO₂ storage and other sustainable high-pressure processes. In geological CO₂ storage, properties such as phase equilibria, density, and viscosity govern injection performance, plume migration, and long-term containment. In other sustainable applications including hydrogen storage and supercritical processing, accurate high-pressure data are crucial to reduce uncertainty and ensure both technical performance and environmental integrity.

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).
