University of Southern Denmark, Denmark invites online application for multiple fully funded PhD positions in various research areas. Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible.
1. Two PhD Position in Business History
Summary of PhD Positions:
The SDU Centre for Business History is a research center established by the University of Southern Denmark and the Danish Museum of Industry. Researchers in the center specialize in Danish business history since the 19th century, and we have a special interest in understanding the complex histories behind the wide variety of strongholds in the Danish business system in the context of globalization and Europeanization: How were these strongholds developed in interaction with the surrounding society, and what are the characteristics of that form of capitalism that came to be the economic foundation for the welfare states in Denmark and Northern Europe?

2. PhD Position in the field of audiology
Summary of PhD Positions:
Modern hearing aids come with many advanced functions and features. During the fitting process, standard settings are typically chosen, even though hearing aid users differ widely in the benefit they obtain from their devices. While some progress has been made in terms of personalizing hearing aid fittings based on audiological, psychoacoustic, and cognitive factors, considerable inter-individual variability remains unexplained.
Subjective factors, which have generally received little attention, could play an important role in this regard. Indeed, recent research has identified self-reported hearing handicap as a promising predictor of hearing aid uptake, use, and satisfaction. However, this is not considered in audiological practice so far.
To address this shortcoming, the proposed PhD project will develop clinically feasible measures for determining self-reported hearing handicap. Furthermore, it will assess the utility and added value of these measures for hearing aid provision and prescription. In this manner, new insights with respect to improving hearing aid rehabilitation are anticipated.

3. PhD Position in Mechanical Engineering – Maritime Technology
Summary of PhD Positions:
The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a fully-funded 3-year PhD position in mechanical engineering located in Odense, Denmark with a preferred starting date of February 1st, 2023, or soon thereafter. The PhD position is funded by SDU Maritime Research Platform, which was established in 2022 based on a donation from A/S Dampskibsselskabet Orient’s Fond.
The platform consists of maritime research projects in four faculties across the University of Southern Denmark, mostly PhD and postdoc projects. All work packages in the project are related to the maritime sector with a special focus at the offshore industry. The work packages, though separate in their research focus, are interconnected and important to the project, as the breadth and interdisciplinarity of the initiative is very important. The topics cover a wide range of disciplines as e.g., sustainability, safety, risk, human factors, history, logistics, business, regulation, naval architecture, and maritime operations.

4. PhD Position in Crew health, safety and work environment in the offshore sector
Summary of PhD Positions:
The research Centre of Maritime Health and Society calls for interested applicants for a fully-financed Ph.d. position for the topic: ”Crew health, safety and work environment in the offshore sector”. The aim of the project is to investigate safety and work environment for offshore employees on fast maneuvering ships, including the influence of vibration, motion of the ship, and stress, during mustering on the ship and the transition from home to the vessel.
The position will be filled by a competent and motivated candidate with a relevant master’s degree in Anthropology, Psychology, or within Health science. A candidate with good qualitative analytical skills and or experience with participant observation is preferred, with a good command of English (written and spoken) who can work independently and as part of our team. Knowledge of health and safety research or about the maritime industry is an advantage.

5. PhD Position in physical fitness and body composition
Summary of PhD Positions:
The PhD project is directly related to the project “Generation Sunde Børn”, which is an ambitious research project which will contribute to developing a solid research-based foundation for all children in Denmark to have a good and healthy life in well-being. The purpose of the project is to promote healthy weight and well-being as well as counteract social inequality in health in children aged 6-9 years. The project examines the effects on health, physical fitness, motor functions, cognitive functions, well-being and enjoyment of movement for school-age children through a broad-spectrum effort around physical activity, diet, screen time and sleep.

6. PhD Position in Environmental Toxicology and Endocrine Disruptors
Summary of PhD Positions:
The Ecotoxicology group’s research projects are closely linked to the needs of the society and UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The group has strong long-standing collaborations with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Miljøstyrelsen), national and international research groups, the EU, and the OECD in relation to development of international test systems for endocrine disruptors in model organisms, e.g. fish and invertebrates. The Ecotoxicology group currently consists of 12 dedicated researchers and administrative/technical staff, and the modern and well-equipped laboratory facilities feature both histology and protein labs, LC-MSMS, GC-MSMS, flow through exposure systems and high-end image analysis platform.

7. PhD Position in Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics
Summary of PhD Positions:
The overall aim of the Generation Healthy Kids (GHK) Intervention Program is to promote healthy weight and wellbeing in school-aged children (6-11 years, 1st to 3rd grade). The program combines a randomized controlled trial targeting several important risk factors for excessive weight gain with systems approaches. Co-creation processes is merged with systems thinking to take the complexity of childhood into account and support long-term sustainability of the developed program. GHK will contain intervention components on balanced diet, physical activity, healthy sleep and screen media use. There will be a strong focus on empowering involved children and families and at the same time reduce obesogenic risk factors in the environment, together with capacity building at community levels.

8. PhD Position for Developing a Federated Metadata Repository for Clinical Data
Summary of PhD Positions:
A large roadblock of medical research is the difficult access to sensitive data which hinders the training of complex and powerful machine learning concepts. This issue is amplified when considering rare diseases with low incidence numbers per hospital. To enable the identification of suitable patients for clinical studies amenable to machine learning, a privacy-preserving metadata platform is required. Here, the actual patient data remains at the site of storage, but virtual cohorts can be identified according to clinical phenotypes, symptoms and diagnoses and later used for federated machine learning approaches without breaching patient privacy.
