07 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Aalborg University, Denmark

A postdoc position in computational materials chemistry is available to harness the power of first principles simulations and data-driven methods to design sustainable materials. In this project, we will focus on modelling finite temperature properties and the effects of compositional and structural disorder on materials properties. The project is highly flexible and can be tailored to the specific skills and interests of the candidate.

The project focuses on development of new counseling practices in community pharmacy for patients suffering from anxiety or depression by addressing current needs of patients and pharmacy staff in dealing with medicines. The project is sponsored by Velux, and collaboration partners are Pharmakon, Psykiatrifonden, Bedre Psykiatri– landsforeningen for pårørerende, The Danish Committee for Health Education, the Department of Social Pharmacy at the University of Copenhagen and the Department of Communication and Psychology at the University of Aalborg.

The project is a part of the ambitious Novo Nordisk Foundation Data Science Collaborative Programme,“Synthetic health data: ethical development and deployment via deep learning approaches(SE3D)” which is a collaboration between Head of Center and Professor Martin Bøgsted, Center for Clinical Data Science, Aalborg University, Professor Anders Krogh and Data Scientist Jennifer Bartell, Center for Health Data Science, University of Copenhagen, and Professor Jan Trzaskowski, Department of Law, Aalborg University who are responsible for, respectively, developing privacy metrics, developing generative AI workflows, and ensuring GDPR compliance of the developed methods. There will also be interaction with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Data Science Infrastructure Programme,“the National Health Data Science Sandbox”, a network of data scientists and researchers across five Danish universities building training and research infrastructure.

Klinisk Instituttet arbejder tæt sammen med de nordjyske hospitaler om forskning og undervisning. Hovedparten af instituttets personale har, ud over ansættelsen på instituttet, samtidig en hospitalsansættelse.

Klinisk Institut bedriver forskning inden for de kliniske specialer, som også findes på hospitalerne, og forskningen er struktureret i de samme forskningsenheder, som hospitalerne anvender. Instituttet har tilknyttet cirka 40 forskningsenheder med hvert deres lægefaglige speciale. Ud over disse forskningsenheder har instituttet tilknyttet en række andre forskningsenheder og centre. Instituttet har omkring 500 ansatte og 160 indskrevne PhD studerende.

The mission is to be world-leading in both research and research-based education of the energy engineers of the future. AAU Energy has approx. 300 employees of many nationalities, of which 25 are administrative staff. In addition, AAU Energy constantly has approx. 50-70 guest researchers from around the world.

Research and teaching are in the absolute world elite in the field of energy, and we have extensive and leading workshop and laboratory facilities, where research and innovation are carried out in direct collaboration with industry to a great extent. The positions are offered in relation to the Offshore Renewable Energy Systems research group. They are also in relation to AAU Energy’s Mission electrification, storage, and integrated energy systems. The postdocs will be positioned in the section for Esbjerg Energy Section.
