Postdoc in Neuroendocrinology and Physiology

Animals continuously face harmful changes in ion and water balance as they interact with their environment. In order to survive, animals must be able to detect and respond to fluctuations in water and ion balance—core challenges for life in terrestrial environments. Insects, and beetles in particular, have evolved exceptional physiological strategies that enable survival across a wide range of ecological niches, including arid and extreme habitats. Our research focuses on how osmotic changes are sensed at the cellular level and communicated systemically through endocrine signaling pathways, with particular emphasis on how neuropeptides and hormones regulate water homeostasis, coordinate developmental timing, and remodel physiology under stress conditions such as desiccation and starvation. The successful postdoctoral researcher will lead efforts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing water balance in Tribolium castaneum, a powerful and ecologically relevant genetic model. The project will integrate single-cell transcriptomics, RNA interference, in situ hybridization, molecular and biochemical techniques, and live imaging of genetic reporters to identify and functionally characterize specific cell types and signaling pathways in key osmoregulatory organs, including the Malpighian tubules and the cryptonephridial complex. This position is part of a broader research program aimed at linking organ-specific physiological adaptations to evolutionary innovation. By uncovering the cellular and molecular basis of water conservation mechanisms in beetles, the project will provide new insights into how lineage-specific traits contribute to evolutionary success and ecological dominance. Moreover, the findings have strong translational potential in guiding the development of next-generation, species-specific strategies for sustainable insect pest control.

The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), invites applications for a PhD scholarship in the development of advanced test methods to improve understanding of the degradation processes that dictate the operation lifetime of solid oxide cells (SOC). Transforming our society to rely only on sustainable energy sources is a formidable engineering challenge. Key to success will be the development of cost competitive and reliable methods to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water/steam driven by green electricity. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel in itself or serve as a reactant for the production of fuels like methanol, kerosene or even ammonia. Large scale and fast deployment of electrolysers is highly needed for the displacement of conventional fossil fuels. Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is one of several different electrolysis technologies, which holds merit in terms of high efficiency and potential to reach low cost. For SOEC to be cost competitive with other technologies, long lifetime of >5 years operation under high current density is desired.

Postdoc position in philosophy of psychology/cognitive science

The postdoc will be part of a project entitled Selection in Cognition funded by the Carlsberg Foundation and headed by Professor Søren Kyllingsbæk and Professor Thor Grünbaum. The Selection in Cognition project develops and tests a new theory of basic cognitive selection mechanisms by combining methods and perspectives from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, mathematical modelling, and philosophy. The core idea is that selection in cognition may be understood as a biased competition between representations in a stochastic race (Grünbaum, Oren, & Kyllingsbæk, 2021; Oren et al., 2024; Kyllingsbæk et al., 2025). A successful applicant is expected to familiarize themselves with recent work by Prof. Thor Grünbaum and situate their research plan within the framework of the Selection in Cognition project. For more information about the project, please contact Prof Thor Grünbaum (tgr@hum.ku.dk).

Phytochemical regulation of pest and microbiomes on faba bean

Legume protein crops, e.g. faba bean are key in the transition towards more sustainable food production. However, pests and pathogens challenge faba bean production. Intercropping faba beans with cereal crops with complementary defense systems may be a way to better protect faba beans against pests without the use of pesticides. In this project, you will investigate if faba bean uptake of defensive compounds, for example benzoxazinoids produced by cereals protects faba beans against aphids and fungal root pathogens. Further, you will elucidate the mechanisms behind the gained resistance induced by the defensive molecules’ uptake. You will perform controlled plant experiments, where you will quantify faba bean accumulation of benzoxazinoids, assess aphid and fungal infestation and analyze root microbiomes using metagenomics methodologies. Additionally, you will test the fungal disease and pest suppressive capacity of faba root microbiomes. You will gain diverse competencies, from the design and execution of controlled plant experiments, including the handling of pests and pathogens, advanced metabolomics, and microbiome analyses using bioinformatics and uni- and multivariate statistics. We expect that you will communicate your research in scientific articles, and you will also get the opportunity to participate in scientific conferences. You will be supervised by a dedicated team during all phases of the project.

Postdoc in assessing carbon sequestration potential of different wetlands as nature-based solutions ...

The Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, Denmark, is offering a postdoctoral position in assessing carbon sequestration potential of wetlands as nature-based solutions under different climate scenarios, starting 15-01-2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The full-time position will be available for a 2-year period. Wetlands have been well documented as a promising nature-based solution (NBS) due to their potential to act as carbon sinks and regulate hydrology, thereby mitigating the impacts of climate change. Despite growing recognition of their importance, there remains a lack of comprehensive quantitative evidence and understanding of their capacity and cost-effectiveness for carbon sequestration under varying conditions. You will be part of a large international research project focused on monitoring biodiversity, water resources and management, and carbon dynamics across several newly implemented, restored, or preserved wetland showcases in rural, peri-urban, and urban areas of Europe, spanning five bioclimatic zones. Your task will be to combine multi-source data — including field observations, environmental measurements, and satellite imagery — with mechanistic models to assess carbon sequestration potential in diverse European contexts and provide insights into cost-effective wetland systems for ecosystem adaptation to climate extremes. We expect that you will be an important part of the research environment and that you will contribute positively to the social working environment. We also expect that you will take part in our teaching activities and that you will report research results in high-impact scientific journals.
