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.

PhD Position in Neuromorphic Brain-Computer Interface Design
A Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) decodes brain activity patterns and transforms them into actionable commands, enabling direct communication between the brain and external devices. BCIs have broad applications, from restoring movement in people with movement disabilities and treating brain-related disorders like epilepsy or Parkinson’s disease, improving brain functions, and enabling hands-free control of machines or computers. One of the main challenges in developing future BCIs is to increase the number of brain signal channels while keeping the system very small and energy-efficient.

If you are you passionate about getting to the core of a scientific problem and coming up with creative solutions, and if you are you passionate about experimental electrocatalysis and its role in building green technologies, here is a perfect PhD project for you. Electrocatalysts are essential materials for producing green fuels and chemicals. Conventional electrocatalysts with two-dimensional active sites, however, have a fundamentally limited efficiency for facilitating complex reactions that involve three or more reaction intermediates, due to the "scaling relations". In CAT3D, a five-year Villum Young Investigator project that fully funds this PhD position, along with two postdoc positions, we will tackle this grand challenge by fabricating and studying electrocatalysts with three-dimensional active site structures. With the concerted and concentrated research efforts, we aim to pave the way for developing the next generation electrocatalysts for a broad range of green technologies.

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).
Post Doc within structural biology at Department of Neuroscience
The current project concerns the solvation of structures of the human dopamine transporter (hDAT) using single particle cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Your task would be to express and purify hDAT from HEKexpi cells using detergents for extraction and stabilization. These methods are already implemented in our laboratory (see Nielsen et al. 2024, Nature). We also strive for implementing nano discs from polymers or MSPs to extract or stabilize hDAT. The main task is to solve multiple structures of hDAT using single particle cryo-EM. For this, we have an in-house Titan Krios. We hope to solve the conformational transitions required for dopamine transport as well as elucidating the pharmacological properties of various orthosteric and allosteric hDAT inhibitors.

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.
Postdoc in Neurobiology of Appetite, Obesity & Neuroplasticity
The Clemmensen group are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join their team as part of a broader initiative to investigate neuroplasticity in the context of weight homeostasis, with the long-term goal of identifying therapeutic targets for sustainable weight loss. Candidates with experience in studying neuroplasticity, either in vitro or in animal models, will be particularly well-suited for this role. This project is conducted in close collaboration with Associate Professor Joseph Rogers. Accordingly, we also encourage candidates with a background in drug discovery, particularly those capable of bridging the research between the Clemmensen Group and the Rogers Lab, to apply. This project may also involve evaluating commercial potential of new discoveries. Importantly, while they are open to translational outcomes such as intellectual property development and spin-out opportunities, they remain firmly committed to scientific excellence. Dissemination of results in high-impact, peer-reviewed international journals is a top priority and will not be compromised in favour of commercialization.
