3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Assessing Hearing Performance of Teenagers with Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)’
Summary of PhD Program:
Despite the overall success of cochlear implants and hearing aids, there is a large heterogeneity in hearing outcomes among patients. This variability might depend on the degree and dynamics of cross-modal plasticity in the auditory and visual cortices of the brain. Age and auditory deprivation periods have affected the reported results in literature. By focusing on teenagers in this PhD project, we aim to gain deeper insights into the neuroplasticity during crucial developmental stages. The PhD project can lead to a new clinical tool to assess hearing aid benefit in younger children and other patients with limited cooperation abilities.
Application Deadline: 15 July 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in microbiome synthetic biology and cancer cachexia
Summary of PhD Program:
If you are interested in developing new therapeutic options for a devastating cancer-associated disease, then these positions may be relevant for you. As a PhD student you will be part of an international consortium of partners specialized in cancer cachexia and microbiome science. Cancer cachexia affects >80% of all cancer patients, is associated with poor prognosis, directly contributes to >20% of all cancer-related mortality and drives therapy resistance. Yet, clinical management of cancer cachexia is far from satisfactory, with no approved drugs for this indication. Microbiota-based therapies have the potential to regulate body weight and metabolic abnormalities in both cachexia and obesity.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Operations Research: Acceleration Methods for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Summary of PhD Program:
In the ERC-funded project DECIDE we aim at developing a new generation of heuristic and exact methods for two-stage stochastic optimization problems. The goal is to be able to solve considerably larger problems than before, involving many scenarios for the future. We will use AI-based methods as part of the solution process to generate scenarios and guide the search.
Many strategic stochastic optimization problems cover a long-time horizon, with many low-level decision variables. This means that the problems become very difficult to solve as an optimization problem. In order to speed up the solution process, it has been proposed to use data aggregation or scenario reduction to reduce the size of the problem.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development of Operation Strategies for Mitigating the Degradation of Solid Oxide Cells (SOC)
Summary of PhD Program:
Transforming our society to rely only on sustainable energy sources is a formidable engineering challenge. Key to success will be the development of cost competitive and reliable methods to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water/steam driven by green electricity. The hydrogen can be used as a fuel in itself or serve as a reactant for the production of fuels like methanol, kerosene or even ammonia. Large scale and fast deployment of electrolysers is highly needed for the displacement of conventional fossil fuels. Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is one of several different electrolysis technologies, which holds merit in terms of high efficiency and potential to reach low cost. For SOEC to be cost competitive to other technologies, long lifetime of >5 years operation under high current operation conditions is desired.
