The postdoc position is for 2 years, with a possible 3^rd year extension, starting on the 8^th of April 2024 or soon thereafter. The focus of the position is on developing models that map how everyday psychological distress symptoms interact through time with a person’s activities, neurocognitive abilities and life events to lead to depression, in both people who have never been depressed before and those currently in recovery from depression.

We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious candidate with an interest in the area of quantitative methods, bioinformatics, clinical neuropsychology, and network theory of psychopathology. The candidate should have experience with network modelling and programming. Experience with systematic reviews and meta-analysis is an asset, but not a prerequisite for the position.  

The successful candidate will work on the project “Dynamic network modelling of depression: towards personalised treatment targets” funded by the Lundbeck Foundation. The successful candidate will join a research group with an expertise in clinical psychology, psychiatry, mathematical modelling and statistics, led by Associate Professor Maria Semkovska in a collaboration between the Department of Psychology, the Odense University Hospital and the Danish Twin Research Center. The primary place of work will be the Department of Psychology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense.

The laboratory of Assistant Professor Maria Peleli-Pedersen and Professor Daniel Ketelhuth at the Cardiovascular and Renal Research Unit, Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), is seeking a postdoc to work on a project investigating the role of the gastrotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in experimental liver steatosis. The postdoc position is funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF).

A 1-year postdoctoral research position with a possibility for extension is available from 1 May 2024, at the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark, in the research team led by Dr. A.-E. Rotaru. The team is interdisciplinary, covering aspects of environmental and applied microbiology, microbial physiology and bioelectrochemistry. 

The overarching aim of the project is to explore the properties of glycosidic hydrolases which are excreted by certain methane producing Archaea and may play a role in their survival under fluctuating environmental conditions. 

The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering invites applications for a 12-month position as postdoctoral researcher scholarship in development of topology optimisation methods for design of conformal cooling channels. The position is expected to start from the 1^st of June 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. 

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Campus Odense, invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in Computer Science, fully funded by a major research project from the Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF). The successful applicants would become part of the Data Science & Statistics section at the department.

The successful candidates will be based in Odense, under the primary supervision of Professor Ricardo J. G. B. Campello, but they will be expected to also work closely with collaborators both from SDU (including PhD students and other postdocs hired on the project) as well as abroad. In particular, the project involves a formal collaboration with the Institute for Computational Genomics at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. Research visits to our research partner in Aachen are expected to take place for specialized training.

The proposed starting date is May 2024, but a slightly earlier or later start may be negotiable. The appointment will be made for a term of two years at a competitive salary, with possibility of extension up to an extra (third) year, depending on a candidate’s performance and other future circumstances, including funding availability and project needs.

We offer a one-year with the possibility to extend to two-years Postdoc position in advanced microscopy and chemical imaging at the Faculty of Engineering at SDUs campus in Sønderborg, Denmark. The starting date is 01.05.2024 or soon after.

Maybe you already have experience with chemical imaging and analysis of materials and high-resolution microscopy and are open to collaborating across the German-Danish border and applying your skills in the cultural heritage field.

We are searching for an engaged colleague who will conduct research mainly within the project ‘TORCH – Technological Enlightenment to Preserve and Explore Cultural Heritage’, supported by the Interreg Deutschland-Danmark 6a programme. 

Come and join our creative and innovative research group that combines functional, physiological and clinical studies to tackle current clinical challenges and basic understanding of bone metabolism. Our vision is to understand how lifestyle, genetic predisposition, endocrine factors and clinical interventions change the activity or composition of bone forming cells to contribute to or combat the pathology of metabolic bone diseases.

You are expected to spearhead a highly ambitious and interdisciplinary project in which you will map the heterogeneity of stromal cells from human bone marrow in healthy subjects and in osteoporotic patients before after anabolic clinical intervention. You will determine the bone forming properties of isolated distinct cell populations using xenograft and fracture healing models and investigate the underlying signaling pathways that modulate osteoblast activity during health and disease. We hypothesize that the anabolic response of bone forming cells is linked to their metabolic properties and that interventions at the training or diet level have synergistic effects on clinical interventions using anabolic treatment options. 

You will be accompanied by a research group that counts four PhD students and Associate Professor Alexander Rauch and that is part of the Molecular Endocrinology Department(KMEB) which is affiliated with the Odense University Hospital, Steno Diabetes Center Odense, and the Department of Clinical Research at the University of Southern Denmark. Our unit greatly values an open, diverse, personal, and interactive working environment and provides an exceptional infrastructure to combine stem cell phenotyping, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, spatial and single cell transcriptomics as well as transgenic mouse models with access to human sample material.
