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.

PhD fellowship in Soil Fertility

The main objective of the PhD project is to assess whether rhizosphere P cycling priming occurs in soils that have received BBF. The main research questions are: 1) Do labile C from root exudate promote microbial P mobilization? 2) Do the addition of BBF further promote microbial P mobilization in the rhizosphere? 3) Can the collected data of rhizosphere P priming be used to improve soil P modelling capacity?

One or more PhD Stipends in Coordinated Control Interactions and Local Stability of Asynchronous Gri...

Asynchronous grids (a-grids) decouple synchronous power systems into multiple compartments with energy routers acting as the bridge. This fundamentally departs from frequency acting as the global stability metric and instead focuses on energy routed between the a-grids. This requires substantial coordination of signals using cyber-physical modelling theories and internet connectivity integrated into the control of a-grids. However, there will be latency, packet drop-outs in the cyber layer that may trigger instability locally.
