PhD position summary/title: PhD stipend for Studying Gene Regulation at Single-Cell Resolution in Cancer
MYC is a critical transcription factor in most cancers, where it cooperates with many different protein complexes to activate diverse pro-tumorigenic pathways. Together with a senior postdoc in the lab, you will lead a research project focused on dissecting how the various cellular tasks of MYC are orchestrated in individual cells. You will integrate loss- and gain-of-function tools (e.g., CRISPR/Cas and degron systems) with a range of advanced functional genomics methods, particularly single-cell technologies, in pre-clinical model systems such as cell lines and patient-derived tumor organoids as well as patient samples. The goal is to understand MYC action in cancer at single-cell resolution to elucidate how this critical oncoprotein controls heterogeneity in cancer cell biology. Expertise in functional genomics methods (e.g., single-cell and bulk RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq) and computational data analysis is considered highly advantageous.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship for project Constructive Journalism: Conceptualization, Implementation, and Evaluation
The Centre for Journalism, Department of Political Science and Public Management, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, invites applications for a three-year full-time PhD scholarship for the project Constructive Journalism: Conceptualization, Implementation, and Evaluation (COMPLEMENT), with employment starting from 1 September 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. The place of employment will be in Odense.
The project—funded by TrygFonden—examines whether constructive journalism can balance the negativity bias in existing news coverage. It does so by examining how constructive journalism can be conceptualized, how it can be implemented into a highly routinized journalistic practice, and which effects it has on the audience. Thus, the project contributes to the still underdeveloped, but growing research agenda on constructive journalism. The project is led by Professor MSO Morten Skovsgaard, Professor Peter Bro, and Associate Professor Kim Andersen all three from the Centre for Journalism, University of Southern Denmark.
The PhD Student will work closely together with the three senior researchers and another PhD Student on the project but will have a particular focus on (1) how constructive journalism is conceptualized and (2) how it can be implemented into the highly routinized journalistic production at existing news organizations. These questions can be addressed through a mix of different theories and methods, such as literature reviews, interviews, newsroom observations, and action research.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Computer Science/Cheminformatics
We are looking for a PhD candidate to join the TACsy (Training Alliance for Computational Systems Chemistry) Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Joint Doctoral Network. This network consists of fifteen (15) highly interlinked PhD projects, of which this particular call is for project DC 3: From formal behavioral specifications of chemical systems to their chemical implementation.
Systems theory defines a chemical reaction system as transformations of abstract entities, i.e., only the stoichiometric relations between the entities are considered. Rule-based approaches on the other hand focus on the rearrangements of chemical bonds and therefore require that the entities have explicit internal structure. This imposes constraints on the stoichiometry and, vice versa, the system level constrains the molecules (entities) given the rules and the rules given the molecules. The aim of this project is to develop a theory and accompanying algorithms to decide if an abstract system can be instantiated by a concrete “chemistry” defined as a set of molecules and a set of rules. The PhD candidate will study abstract reaction networks with respect to their realizability with concrete chemistry. For example, given a metabolic network is there an alternative chemistry that produces the same stoichiometric network? This type of problems can be formalised in the framework of SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theory). The PhD project involves the development of a theory and accompanying algorithms to tackle such problems. Applications will lie in the area of the design of enzyme cascades.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Advanced Mass Spectrometry/Proteomics
The Protein Research Group at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a PhD position in advanced mass spectrometry development, with a focus on negative ion mode proteomics to enhance bacterial proteome coverage. This project aims to improve the detection of acidic proteins, contributing to a better understanding of bacterial biology and unlocking new biotechnological applications.
Current proteomics approaches rely almost exclusively on positive ion mode, which leads to inefficient ionization of many acidic peptides. However, acidic and alkaline proteins are almost equally abundant in most organisms, highlighting the need to develop and optimize negative ion mode techniques. This project will advance the next generation of proteomics, bridging this fundamental gap and expanding analytical capabilities.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position for Research Project “Sustainable Futures for New Generations of Farmers”
Sustainable Futures for New Generations of Farmers aims to accelerate Denmark’s transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050, focusing on the agricultural sector, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Despite recent policy successes, green policy resistance persists among farmers. This project seeks to address this resistance by shifting the focus from technological fixes to the sociological acceptance of green policies. It aims to engage young farmers’ associations to foster a pro-environmental identity among farmers.
Led by University of Southern Denmark academics Vincent Charles Keating and Egon Bjørnshave Noe; and in cooperation with Den Grønne Ungdoms bevægelse, Landbo Ungdom and L&F Centrovice; the project explores how rural identity influences resistance to carbon neutrality plans and identifies opportunities to promote the value of the green transition. The project will involve a multi-stakeholder innovation process, utilizing a framework of multiple-loop learning to encourage farmers to reflect on their relationship with climate change and policy.
The project will involve one-on-one interviews with farmers, focus group workshops, the development of future farming scenarios with young farmers and their organizations, a national conference to key stakeholders, and finally the establishment of sustainability plans and evaluate its impact on farmers’ identities and practices. By engaging young farmers and leveraging their potential as environmental stewards, the project aims to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for green policies, ultimately contributing to Denmark’s carbon neutrality goals.
