12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy of Perception

Summary of PhD Program:

Perception seems to give us direct access to the reality we live in. Researchers often articulate this point in terms of a special ‘presence’ characteristic of perception. In everyday life, presence is what allows us to distinguish our genuine perceptions from imagery or daydreaming. In clinical settings, disturbances of presence seem a crucial factor in a host of mental disorders, including schizophrenia, delirium, and PTSD. Commercially, efforts to create perceptual presence artificially range from the entertainment industry (e.g., movies, gaming) through education (e.g., simulation tools) to computer-mediated communication (e.g., video conference platforms). Surprisingly, however, researchers rarely address presence explicitly, let alone analyse it in detail. Moreover, when they do explicitly address it, it is often unclear exactly what ‘presence’ is supposed to denote.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in philosophy

Summary of PhD Program:

The larger project is about the hypothesis that vague and ambiguous theorizing in cognitive neuroscience is a cause of the low replicability of experimental studies. More than half of the studies in psychology do not replicate. Researchers commonly blame poor methodological and statistical practices. Recently, a growing number of researchers have argued that the crisis is due to poor theories. The aim of the project is to use the analytical tools of philosophy of science to assess the claim that absence of proper theorizing is the root cause of low replicability and to understand the type of theory needed to alleviate the crisis.

20. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental and Soil Sciences

Summary of PhD Program:

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a very potent and important greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential approximately 300 times stronger than CO2. About 70% of the global N2O emissions comes from agricultural fields as a consequence of N fertilization of crops, whether in mineral or organic form. Formation and consumption of N2O is driven by microbial N turnover and takes place at different depth in the soil profile. This affects N2O transport through diffusion and mass flow in the profile, which eventually results in emissions from the soil surface. However, our understanding of where in the profiles and where along water availability gradients the formation and comsumption of N2O takes place is still incomplete. It is also still poorly understood how these processes are affected by environmental conditions like water content, oxygen content, as well as availability of ammonium, nitrate and decomposable organic matter from mineral or organic fertilisers. Our current models do not describe these process and their interactions to a satisfactory degree.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Toxicology

Summary of PhD Program:

It is impossible to assess the risk of all chemical pollutants to all species in the environment at all sorts of environmental conditons. Chemical risk assessments therefore depend on models which can predict the chemical fate and biological effect across species and endpoints. Several models exsist but few are fully evaluated for their ability to predict fate and effects under nature like conditions. The overall aim of QTOX is to address the robustness of models based on mechanistic knowledge of the underlying processes in the chain from exposure to effects, across all levels of biological organisation, with close connection to regulatory endpoints, and under environmentally realistic conditions, i.e., including the dynamics of chronic exposures to mixtures of chemicals. The robustness of all models will be evaluated on microcosm scenarios under two environmental regimes in Spain and Holland, respectively.

30. Fully Funded PhD Position in endosomal pH regulation

Summary of PhD Program:

The overall aim of the PhD project is to test the hypothesis that neuronal metabolism and survival are regulated by the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE6 (SLC9A6), a key endosomal pH-regulatory protein linked to severe neurodegenerative diseases such as Christianson syndrome and Alzheimers disease. We propose that NHE6 loss/mutations elicit a cascade of deleterious events originating from the endosomal compartment, including disrupted endo-/lysosomal pH, dysfunction of NHE6-interacting proteins, altered iron homeostasis, mTORC1 activity, and endosomal motility, lysosomal lipid accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and ferroptosis. Methodologically, the PhD project will include primary neurons from wild type and NHE6 knockout mice, neuronal cell lines, biochemistry and molecular biology, metabolic profiling, and advanced imaging including endosomal pH imaging and superresolution microscopy.

31. Fully Funded PhD Position in Structural Biology

Summary of PhD Program:

The nuclear receptor coactivator 3 (NCOA3) is a 1424 amino acid large transcriptional activator that interacts with several steroid hormone receptors. As NCOA3 is implicated in several cancer types, including breast and ovary cancers it is of high interest to understand the structural mechanism of how the activity of NCOA3 is regulated. Very little is, however, known about the structure of the full-length NCOA3. One reason for this is that we currently don’t have a proper experimental tool to study full-length NCOA3 – or other large intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The intact protein is too dynamic for cryoEM and X-ray crystallography, and much too large for NMR spectroscopy.

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in applied statistics in monitoring pesticide effects

Summary of PhD Program:

The main aim of environmental risk assessment is to assign magnitudes and probabilities to adverse effects of human impact. A key parameter used in chemical risk assessment is the benchmark dose, identifying the dose associated with a predefined deviation from non-treated controls in the testsystem investigated. The benchmark dose methodology relies on non-linear dose-response models. The methodology is well-established for univariate data, such as a growth or mortility measured at a single point in time, but less so for more complex data structures such hierarchical data based on repeated experiments or time series, which have the advantage of closer resembling reality and accordingly provide more valuable input for risk assessments. In addition, as toxicity is a process in time and exposure concentrations often vary in time (chemicals degrade in the environment, and/or are added repeatedly), statistical methods to describe effect development in time as a function of exposure is becoming increasingly important tools for chemical risk assessment.

The focus will be on determining the time to manifestation of effects on photosynthesis and growth parameters, and the time to recovery.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical reinforcement learning

Summary of PhD Program:

Reinforcement Learning (RL) aims at developing computer systems, capable of learning an unknown dynamic environment so as to maximize a notion of reward. Relaible application of AI crucially relies on RL algorithms with theoretical performance guranatees. Most of existing algorithms developed for complex RL tasks do not admit such guarantees, and the research on theoretical RL lags far behind pratical RL. An RL task is often mathematically modelled as a mathematical object called a Markov Decision Process (MDP). An RL agent wishes to learn a near-optimal bevahoir through maximizing a notion of reward function in the underlying MDP, which is assumed unknown initially. Its performance in doing so is assessed through performance measures such as regret or sample complexity. In offline RL, the agent relies on pre-collected data without further exploration, whereas in online RL, it interacts with the MDP in an online manner and aims to balance exploration and exploitation. In both settings, the agent wishes to identify a near-optimal control policy yielding as much as reward as possible.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in medical image analysis

Summary of PhD Program:

Self-supervised methods are state of the art in a number of computer vision problems and language models that learn unsupervised and semi-supervised are currently changing society through language processing, but have so far not found wide adoption in the medical imaging domain.

The PhD project goals are to investigate the learning and scaling potential of existing and developed methods and investigate their benefits for analysis of longitudinal images by using the large amounts of oncology imaging data available in hospital databases. This could potentially have wide impact on medical image analysis and processing, however, the PhD project will also run side-by-side with a medical PhD project at the Department of Oncology at Rigshospitalet, which aims to use the results of the method development and analysis to specifically improve risk modelling of tumor recurrence and side-effects after treatment.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in membrane protein biochemistry and peptide drug discovery

Summary of PhD Program:

The Rogers Lab is focused on the discovery of new research ligands and drug-leads for disease linked protein targets.

Reprogramming the ribosome allows for synthesis of peptides with a stable ‘drug-like’ cyclic structure. We then screen trillions of these cyclic peptides (more molecules than there are stars in the galaxy) to isolate molecules with novel drug-like properties. Our researchers use a wide-range of biomolecular experimental techniques, from DNA and RNA molecular biology to solid-phase peptide synthesis. These are combined with specialty techniques using ribozymes, chemically synthesized unnatural amino acids and ultra-high throughput peptide screening.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Formal Verification

Summary of PhD Program:

Runtime monitoring is the task of identifying complex temporal patterns while incrementally processing streams of events. Tools that solve this task are called monitors. They input a temporal pattern specification, process the stream event-wise, and output verdicts that indicate for each event whether a pattern occurs at the event’s position in the stream. Some monitors use implicit specifications: they fix a particular temporal pattern and use a dedicated, optimized algorithm for the monitoring task. Other monitors support entire temporal pattern specification languages and input the specification explicitly as part of their workflow.

The goal of this PhD project is to develop and compare monitors for both implicit specifications and explicit and expressive pattern specification languages that scale to high-volume and high-velocity data streams. Implicit monitors are always tied to an application area. As a specific application, we intend to use implicit monitors to assure the correctness of an interactive proof assistant—a tool that checks formal mathematical proofs—which carries out thousands of logical inferences in what appears to its users as a single automatic proof step.

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Particle Astrophysics

Summary of PhD Program:

This project aims at solving one of the most urgent riddles in particle astrophysics: how neutrinos affect the physics of the death of massive stars as core-collapse supernova explosions and the merger of two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole. Neutrinos are feebly interacting particles copiously produced in these dense sources. Neutrinos exist in three different kinds, or flavors, and have the fascinating property of changing their flavor while propagating (flavor conversion). Because of the high density of neutrinos in the core of supernovae or compact binary mergers, flavor conversion becomes a non-linear phenomenon, whose understanding is quite preliminary.
