PhD scholarship in the project ‘A Danish model for individual Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for peop...

The DiCST project is headed by Associate Professor Laila Øksnebjerg and will be conducted in close collaboration with dementia professionals from e.g. municipalities. As user-involvement is a key in the project, people with dementia and family caregivers are also regarded as collaborators. Moreover, the project will involve collaboration with international researchers. The project is funded by TrygFonden and Alzheimer-forskningsfonden. The DiCST study is based on Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is a well-known psychosocial intervention method for people with mild to moderate dementia. There is profound evidence that CST can improve cognitive function and quality of life in people with dementia. CST was originally developed as a group-based manualised intervention delivered by professionals. The aim of the DiCST study is to design an individual psychosocial intervention for people with dementia, which is easy to access and implement in a home setting with a family caregiver. The aim of the intervention is to improve cognitive functions and quality of life of the person with dementia, as well as quality of life and aspects of caregiving for the family caregiver. Hence, DiCST will involve meaningful shared activities between a person with dementia and a family caregiver. The DiCST study will involve two sub-studies. In the first study the DiCST manual will be developed and evaluated, and methods and tools to support implementation of the DiCST intervention will be developed and evaluated. In the second study, the clinical effects of this DiCST method will be explored in a feasibility randomized controlled trial. The PhD programme provides PhD students with strong research training and includes independent research work (under supervision), active participation in research networks, PhD courses, teaching, and other forms of knowledge dissemination, as well as drafting and defending a PhD-dissertation. The open position is for a 3-year PhD, within the framework of the 5+3 study programme.

Postdoctoral Position in Synaptic Physiology and Plasticity

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Alexander M. Walter at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The position is funded by a European Research Council (ERC) grant and is available for an initial 2-year period with the possibility of extension. Research project The project investigates molecular and nanoscale mechanisms regulating synaptic transmission and presynaptic plasticity using genetically accessible Drosophila model systems. Current work focuses on how release site organization, active zone dynamics, and neuromodulatory signaling regulate neurotransmitter release at identified synapses. Experimental approaches in the laboratory include: electrophysiology, advanced live imaging, super-resolution microscopy, Drosophila genetics, quantitative image analysis, and computational modeling. Depending on the background and interests of the candidate, the project can focus primarily on either: synaptic electrophysiology and plasticity, or quantitative live imaging of synaptic activity, organization, and dynamics. Questions For further information please contact Professor Alexander M. Walter, awalter@sund.ku.dk. Foreign applicants may find this link useful: www.ism.ku.dk (International Staff Mobility).

Postdocs in High-Resolution Quantum Microscopy of Magnetic fields - DTU Physics

Are you passionate about quantum physics and the application in cutting edge technologies? And would you like to play a key role in advancing quantum science and technology research at DTU, pushing the frontiers of physical observations? At DTU Physics we are seeking talented postdoctoral researchers to develop new types of diamond based magnetic microscopes for contactless imaging of magnetic fields induced in biological tissue samples. Our aim is to build the world’s fastest, most sensitive microscope capable of resolving magnetic fields with microscopic resolution. To achieve this goal, you will develop and implement advanced protocols of quantum coherent spin control, optical interrogation and readout of colour centres, while allowing for integration with target samples. The experiments will be conducted at DTU Physics. Within the project, we collaborate closely with industrial partners to tackle the most urgent engineering challenges, as well as on the use cases with researchers in neuroscience and semiconductor industry. Further information Further information may be obtained from Assoc. Prof. Alexander Huck (alexander.huck@fysik.dtu.dk), Prof. Ulrik L. Andersen (ulrik.andersen@fysik.dtu.dk) or Researcher Luca Troise (lutro@fysik.dtu.dk).
