Postdoctoral position in computational modeling of visual perception
The successful candidate will be required to design, program and analyze an integrate-and-fire neural network model of visual perception. Good programming (Python) skills are required along with a good understanding of empirical methods and ways to connect empirical findings with model behavior.
Research Assistant and PhD fellow in Energy Metabolism
The University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD fellow to commence November 15, 2026, or after agreement in the Clemmensen Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR), University of Copenhagen. The PhD fellowship is part of the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program. About Us The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneers groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, CBMR aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. The Center’s uniquely multi- and interdisciplinary approach combines research in genetics, physiology and pharmacology, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors that drive cardiometabolic disease. You can learn more in the Executive Summary of CBMR's Strategy 2024–2028. CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at Panum since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines. Principal supervisor: Associate professor, Christoffer Clemmensen, chc@sund.ku.dk Start: November 15, 2026 Duration: 1 year as Research Assistant followed by 3 years as PhD fellow contingent on a positive evaluation of the 1st year.

PhD scholarship in the project “Individual differences in face recognition”
The focus of the PhD-project will be on relating variability in face recognition to other measures and indicators of cognitive abilities. The overall project investigates variability in face recognition across a large, representative sample of the Danish population, with the aim of relating this to variability in other measures of cognition through questionnaires and data from Danish public registries.

Postdoctoral position in big data analytics in teen substance use at the Centre for Alcohol and Drug...
Applications are invited from early-career postdoctoral researchers who can demonstrate an established track record in big data analytics within the field of substance use. The two-year full time position will commence in February 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. You will get the opportunity to analyse and publish on big data from a very large RCT examining out-of-the-box brain-based interventions for adolescents engaged in alcohol use. You will also get unique opportunities to examine risk and protective factors for substance use and related behaviors across large adolescent datasets.
Associate professorships in Psychology
The Department’s educational programme covers the subfields of Social and Personality Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Pedagogical Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Work and Organizational Psychology. In addition, the Department participates in the Flexible Master’s Programme in Public Leadership Education.

Postdoc in Generative AI for Multisensory Experience
You will use controlled XR environments to study how individuals combine sound, vision, and touch under uncertainty, and test whether these models can predict responses to new situations and inform more accessible interactions.
Postdoc in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience and Human Movement Perception
This interdisciplinary project develops a novel scientific approach to the study of consciousness by investigating conscious experiences of movement. Combining psychophysical experiments, computational modelling, and philosophical analysis, it examines how bodily and neural signals contribute to movement awareness. The project aims to advance our understanding of consciousness and critically evaluate leading neuroscientific theories of conscious experience.
PhD scholarship in 3D Cochlear Histopathology in Ageing and Systemic Disease
Are you interested in advancing our understanding of cochlear pathology in ageing and systemic disease using cutting-edge 3D microscopy and image analysis? We invite applicants for a 3-year PhD position investigating the spatial and temporal relationships between vascular and sensorineural pathology in the cochlea. The project will examine these relationships in healthy ageing as well as in age-related conditions such as dementia and metabolic syndrome. The methodological focus of the project is the development of preclinical immunolabelling and light-sheet microscopy imaging pipelines to study the cochlea in rodent models of the above-mentioned diseases, with the eventual implementation of advanced image analysis approaches. The developed methodologies are intended not only to deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of hearing loss and its connections to ageing and age-related diseases, but also to provide new tools for the detailed assessment of therapeutic responses and thereby inform future treatment strategies.You will join the interdisciplinary team at the Centre for Auditory Neuroscience within the Hearing Systems section at DTU Health Tech recently established with support from the William Demant Foundation. You will work alongside neurobiologists, cognitive neuroscientists, acousticians, computer scientists, and medical doctors. You will have opportunities to collaborate with preclinical and clinical scientists within and outside Denmark.
