9. Fully Funded PhD Position in ToSleep: Decelerative media and technologies of sleep in the everyday
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD fellow will participate in the research project “ToSleep: Decelerative media and technologies of sleep in the everyday”, which is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation, Semper Ardens Accelerate (Grant id: CF24-1525). The project will qualitatively examine the mediation of sleep and contribute with empirically based knowledge, including the decelerative capacities of (digital) media and the possibility of slowing down and creating rest. Over the years, media has increasingly moved into the bedroom and is today often part of everyday pre-sleep and sleep rituals. Despite the fact that sleep is an interdisciplinary issue, our knowledge of sleep is dominated by health research.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in affiliated with Movement Culture and Society, IOB
Summary of PhD Program:
The project uses a phenomenological and qualitative research approach to compare how athletes (both sports and dance) and non-athletes use their body awareness in the management of back and low back pain. The purpose is to describe and understand how athletes with back and low back pain manage these in their everyday lives – and not least how the athletes use their bodily experience in these contexts. Methodologically, the project will be based on a combination of person-centered fieldwork, interviews, and phenomenological analysis. Phenomenology will be used in particular to describe and clarify which body awareness resources the athletes use in relation to the management of back and low back pain in a treatment process. The PhD student will help develop the person-centered approach.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Bone fracture nonunion healing by adipose-derived regenerative cells
Summary of PhD Program:
This proposal targets a most challenging orthopaedic problem of fracture nonunion by our already approved adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) for clinical trials. We establish a possible superior design to current treatments, with least invasive procedures for patients. We harvest adipose tissue from patients through a minimal invasive process. We perform regulatory settings, cell manufacturing and quality controls of ADRCs prior to clinical trials (study 1). We evaluate safety, assess efficacy, and determine optimal dose of ADRCs combined with bone allograft in the treatment of patients with fracture nonunion (study 2).
