- PhD in Applied Statistics in Monitoring Pesticide Effects
Description
Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Crop Science invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in dynamic statistical modelling of toxic effects in herbicide exposed plants. The project is part of the research project “Enhancing statistical methodology for toxicophenomics: High-throughput and high-dimensional data for ecotoxicological risk assessment”, which is financed by the Novo Nordic Foundation. The primary focus of the PhD project will be on extending existing dose-response models for univariate data to different types of multivariate data, incorporating the time perspective of toxicity development. The key challenges are 1) developing dose-response models applicable to data from complex hierarchical designs, 2) testing and developing statistical models for toxic effects in time and 3) testing and developing models for dynamic exposure data.
Eligibility
We are looking for a candidate with strong competences within the field(s) of statistics and data science. Applicants can have a background in statistics, mathematics, environmental modelling, or environmental toxicology with flair and interest in statistics and data science. The applicant should also be prepared to do some experimental work to produce own data.
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. statistics, mathematics, environmental modelling, or environmental toxicology.
Employment and Salary Structure
Employment as a PhD fellow is full time and for a maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen.

- PH.D. Position in the Mechanics of Tissue Homeostasis at reNEW
Description
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen is looking for a PhD candidate to join the Sedzinski group starting mid/late 2023 or upon agreement with the chosen candidate. A PhD position for 4 years (1 year as a Research Assistant and 3 years as PhD student) is available in the group of Jakub Sedzinski at reNEW. The team studies the general principles underlying epithelial homeostasis. Particularly, the team wants to determine both the mechanics and molecular regulation of the mucociliary epithelial cell development and renewal from stem cells hoping to provide new insights into treatment of epithelial pathologies associated with defective tissue homeostasis, such as asthma, colitis, and most common epithelial tumours, or carcinomas.
Eligibility
A MSc degree in life sciences or equivalent. Documented hands-on experience with Xenopus embryos, quantitative image processing and data analysis would be extremely valuable. Excellent English skills written and spoken. Highly motivated and ambitious candidates are encouraged to apply. A solution-oriented, organisational and positive mindset is required. The ability to work in a highly collaborative international environment both independently and as part of the team is essential.
Basic Salary

- PhD fellowship in Nutritional Immunology/Parasitology at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences
Description
The PhD project is part of the project ‘Understanding how gut metabolites regulate type-2 mucosal immunity’ funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The role of nutrition and dietary components in regulating mucosal immune function is becoming extensively explored, due to rising rates of allergies and chronic inflammation. Our group is interested in how dietary components and the gut microbiota interact to regulate type-2 immunity at mucosal surfaces, which is critical for protection against helminth parasites but can also cause pathologies such as allergies when dysregulated. The PhD project will focus on how pigs respond to infection with the helminth Trichuris suis when fed diets with different levels of fermentable fibers. We aim to identify gut metabolites derived from the breakdown of dietary fiber that shape the development of innate immune cells in the gut during T. suis infection.
Eligibility
Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to a master’s degree related to the subject area of the project, e.g. Immunology, Biology, Biotechnology, Veterinary/Animal Science. Please note that your master’s degree must be equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (two years).
Other important criteria are:
- Ability to multitask
- Fluency in written and spoken English.
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
- High level of self-motivation
- Experience or interest in working with experimental animals
- Demonstrated experience with any of the following techniques is desirable but not essential: Flow cytometry, Sterile cell culture techniques, qPCR, handling of transcriptomic and/or metabolomics data
Salary
Salary, pension and terms of employment are in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Depending on seniority, the monthly salary starts at approximately 28,800 DKK/Roughly 3,850 EUR (April 2023 level) plus pension.
