(06) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellow for studying gain-of-function GABAA receptor variants in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies
The main goal of this project is to understand how mutations that increase inhibitory signaling in the brain can nevertheless lead to DEE. To address this, you will investigate animal models carrying GOF GABAA receptor mutations found in patients, examining their effects at multiple levels:
1. In Vivo
- Monitor animal behavior and record electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity to detect abnormalities linked to patient symptoms.
2. In Vitro
- Use brain slice preparations to measure neuronal activity at the microcircuit level, comparing GOF mutants to wild-type littermates. This approach will clarify why the cortex in GOF DEE models is hyperexcitable despite an overall increase in inhibitory signaling.
Based on these findings, you will contribute to the design and testing of targeted treatments aimed at correcting the underlying defects, first in vitro and subsequently in vivo. This project will be conducted in close collaboration with Filadelfia Hospital, which maintains a cohort of patients affected by these rare and severe conditions.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)
Women leave computer science at twice the turnover rate of men. Neurodivergent people have an increased risk of dropping out of education due to isolation and burnout. Neurodiversity manifests differently across genders, and until recently, neurodiverse women in computing have been ignored. Late-diagnosed women are the fastest-growing category of newly diagnosed university students. We need new DEI approaches that bridge gender and neurodiversity in computer science.
NeuroGen Computing Research Project builds upon the FemTech research program, and has the long-term vision to reduce the risk of isolation, stigma, and burnout for neurodivergent computer science students with intersecting diversity dimensions. We will create enabling organizational conditions for diverse students to thrive while at the university and prepare them for a successful career afterward.
To achieve this vision, NeuroGen Computing will 1) Design and create a robust infrastructure in which data, knowledge and information on disability and accessibility can be used; 2) Develop, implement, and scale novel computer science teaching in the first-year computer science bachelor’s program; 3) Create, implement, and anchor novel bachelor’s/Master thesis supervision tools supporting interaction between students and supervisors displaying diverse neurotype constellations.
This PhD project will design and create a robust infrastructure in which data, knowledge and information on disability and accessibility are better shared, used and organized within university organizations. Concretely, the PhD project will a) Map of disability and accessibility data work at the UCPH, answering questions such as: What data is available, missing, or siloed? Who is included and excluded? Where are the barriers and opportunities for increasing institutional knowledge on neurodiversity? b) develop best practices for GDPR-compliant sharing of disability- related information and potentials for University of Copenhagen, and c) create a proposal for reconfigurations of current systems supporting future data work practices that ensure sharing of data, knowledge and information on disability and accessibility for organizational usage within university organizations, piloted specifically for computer science teachers.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship(s) in Human-computer Interaction
The field of Human-Computer Interaction seeks to make computer systems in all forms useful and usable for end users. For the past 40 years, this has been done by creating methods for involving users in the design and evaluation of systems. However, we all have experienced computer systems that are frustrating, help solve the wrong tasks, or cause additional work. The field also struggles to make emerging technologies, such as AI, extended reality, and social media, benefit end users rather than deskill or distract them. The idea of this project is that the field lacks theories that can help understand and predict when and why computer systems are useful and usable.
In the TRACTION center, we will focus on developing and applying theory about Human-Computer Interaction. We will depart from empirical studies of the difficulties of using existing theories. At the same time, we will develop theories about key problems in the field, such as what makes computer systems valuable to end user and how computers and humans influence each other in interaction. Finally, we will explore systematic approaches to using theory for understanding and predicting phenomena in interactive computing. The intended impact of the center is to shift Human-Computer Interaction from a craft of using methods for evaluation and design to a science of theories, cumulation, and generalization across technologies, users, and use context.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Computational Biology at the Globe Institute, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen
Hybridization capture has emerged as a central method for targeted sequencing, enabling the enrichment of specific genomic regions from complex samples. This is particularly advantageous in scenarios where DNA is highly degraded or available only in limited quantities, such as ancient environmental DNA (aeDNA). Despite its widespread use, the downstream analysis of hybridization capture data presents several computational and methodological challenges that remain unresolved. These include issues related to probe design, PCR-induced biases, and the limitations of traditional alignment methods. This PhD thesis seeks to address these challenges through the development of novel bioinformatic tools and frameworks, thereby enhancing the utility and accuracy of hybridization capture sequencing.

About The University of Copenhagen, Denmark – Official Website
The University of Copenhagen is a public research university in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 1479, the University of Copenhagen is the second-oldest university in Scandinavia, and ranks as one of the top universities in the Nordic countries and Europe.
Its establishment sanctioned by Pope Sixtus IV, the University of Copenhagen was founded by Christian I of Denmark as a Catholic teaching institution with a predominantly theological focus. In 1537, it was re-established by King Christian III as part of the Lutheran Reformation. Up until the 18th century, the university was primarily concerned with educating clergymen. Through various reforms in the 18th and 19th century, the University of Copenhagen was transformed into a modern, secular university, with science and the humanities replacing theology as the main subjects studied and taught.
The University of Copenhagen consists of six different faculties, with teaching taking place in its four distinct campuses, all situated in Copenhagen. The university operates 36 different departments and 122 separate research centres in Copenhagen, as well as a number of museums and botanical gardens in and outside the Danish capital. The University of Copenhagen also owns and operates multiple research stations around Denmark, with two additional ones located in Greenland. Additionally, The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and the public hospitals of the Capital and Zealand Region of Denmark constitute the conglomerate Copenhagen University Hospital.
A number of prominent scientific theories and schools of thought are namesakes of the University of Copenhagen. The famous Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics was conceived at the Niels Bohr Institute, which is part of the university. The Department of Political Science birthed the Copenhagen School of Security Studies, which is also named after the university. Others include the Copenhagen School of Theology and the Copenhagen School of Linguistics.
