Declaration of interest regarding PhD project on the long-term safety and benefits of ADHD medicatio...

ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in childhood and is characterized by persistent difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. The condition can lead to significant challenges at school, at home, and in social relationships. In Denmark, around 5% of children and young people currently receive medication for ADHD—a proportion that has increased markedly over the past decade. Although many experience improvement in their symptoms, we still know far too little about how these medications affect children and adolescents in the long term. In particular, there is limited knowledge about the benefits and risks of treatment in real-world settings outside the short, controlled framework of clinical trials. In this project, we will combine Danish and Norwegian health registers with school data, clinical assessments of symptoms, and information on municipal services. We will analyze how ADHD medication affects the risk of serious adverse outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, substance misuse, and impaired growth. At the same time, we will examine how medication influences children’s schooling, well-being, and symptom levels. Finally, we will map how access to non-pharmacological support—such as parent training and school-based assistance—varies across the country. The project will generate new knowledge about how ADHD medication works in real-life settings and will provide a stronger basis for decision-making for families, professionals, and policymakers. For further information about the project, please contact: Helene Kildegaard Department of Public Health University of Southern Denmark (SDU) E-mail: hckildegaard@health.sdu.dk The pharmacoepidemiology group at Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Environmental Medicine (CPPEM), Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, is looking for applicants for a fully funded 3-year PhD scholarship. The position is to be filled from June 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is part of a newly funded research project aiming to understand long-term safety and beneficial effects of ADHD medication in children, adolescents and young adults as well geographical variation in access to support and diagnostic pathways.

Postdoctoral Researcher - Structural Spectroscopy of Amyloid Aggregates

Protein aggregates play a central role in several human diseases, yet their structural diversity remains poorly understood. In this project, you will apply ultrafast 2D-infrared spectroscopy to investigate molecular signatures in biologically and clinically relevant samples for a deeper understanding of protein structure/function relationships in health and disease. The starting date is May 1, 2026 and the duration of the employment will be 24 months. The place of work is Langelandsgade 140, 8000 Aarhus C, and the area of employment is the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University and related departments. Job description/research project/research area A postdoc in our team will investigate the structural complexity of protein aggregates using advanced ultrafast spectroscopies. Jointly, the Clinical Neuroanatomy and Biobanking (CNAB) at Amsterdam UMC and Surflab at Aarhus University have recently developed new approaches combining two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy and biomedical sampling techniques to probe protein structure in complex biological and medical environments. This opens up opportunities to tackle fundamental questions such as: (1) Can subtle structural differences between aggregates and disease stages and type be resolved spectroscopically? And (2) What molecular signatures correlate with neuropathology? Answers to these questions will contribute to our understanding of protein misfolding and aggregation in biomedically relevant settings, with implications for early diagnostics and, in the future, possible disease prevention. Researchers in our group benefit from state-of-the-art femtosecond laser systems and a vibrant interdisciplinary community at Aarhus University, including collaborators in biophysics, neurodegeneration, spectroscopy, and computational modeling. You would join a dynamic research environment with an emphasis on international collaboration.
