Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Three 2-year Postdoctoral positions at Aarhus University: Projects on personality cults and strategic communication in autocracies
CULTS is a €800K 5-year research project (2026-2030) funded by the Danish private fund, the Velux Foundation. The project is about the drivers, characteristics, and consequences of personality cults in contemporary autocracies. CULTS aims to produce the first-ever systematic analysis of the dynamics of authoritarian personality cults and their consequences. Utilizing, among others, the latest advances in text-as-data methods, it will provide: i) detailed descriptions and explanation of leadership cults in contemporary Russia and China, including a systematic inquiry centering on how public communication of political elites plays in fostering, nurturing, and consolidating cults around the dictator; ii) new cross-country measurements of personality cults and/or leader glorification; and iii) comparative analysis of the causes and consequences of cults across larger samples of authoritarian regimes in the post-Cold War period.
Communicating Dictators is a €830K 4-year research project (2026-2029) funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project examines how dictators, the central actors in every autocracy, communicate in public. It sets out to better understand how autocrats – through the things they say and do in public – try to influence perceptions of regime strength, durability, and resolve among their supporters and opponents to secure and consolidate their position. The project analyzes both rhetorical and performative aspects of dictators’ communication, and it seeks to explain how and why such communication changes across different strategic contexts (such as during different types of crises). Utilizing, among others, text-as-data methods, and survey experiments, the project will engage in: i) Fine-grained data collection of a subset of post-Cold War autocrats’ (primarily from the post-Soviet region) public rhetoric (speeches, statements, comments) and appearances (whom they meet with, when, and where); ii) Within-case and cross-case analyses of how dictators’ public communication changes across different strategic contexts; and iii) State-of-the-art survey experiments on how the public in autocracies respond to the various types of communicative signals from the dictator.

(17) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc Position in Computational Astrochemistry
Complex organic molecules, e.g. sugars and amino acids, discovered in interstellar space are believed to originate from reactions taking place at nanoscale dust grain catalysts. Primarily, these grains are made up of Mg- or Fe-rich silicates or carbon-based materials. In cold and dense gas clouds, the grains are increasingly covered with ices of molecules such as water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which may impact their reactivity.
In this postdoc project, the successful applicant will employ ab initio methods to study reactions towards complex organic molecules. The chosen reactions will be guided by experimental results from collaborators in the Center for Interstellar Catalysis. It will also be possible to pursue more independent theory-driven projects, including the development of new theoretical methods. In the group, we have extensive experience with machine learning (ML) methods, and it will be possible to include these approaches in the work. The ML methods could include approaches to accelerate structure optimization or the calculation of binding energies, diffusion and reaction barriers through ML interatomic potentials.
The project will be physically anchored at the Center for Interstellar Catalysis at Aarhus University in Denmark and will take place in close collaboration with partners engaged in computational modelling and simulations, laboratory experiments and astrochemical observations. Visits to partners in Leiden are anticipated.

You will be a core member of a collaborative and interdisciplinary team in the Agricultural Systems and Sustainability research group, collaborating with researchers, policymakers, industry partners, and farmers who all work on translating complex data and modelling results into actionable insights.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in psychiatric epidemiology
The offspring of parents with mental illness represent a major lost opportunity for early intervention. Having a parent with mental illness is the most common potential risk factor for early-onset depression. Early-onset depression (by age 24) is difficult to treat and is associated with a recurrent/chronic course and poor outcomes. Early intervention strategies are effective when targeted at this group. However, we know that very few access support. There is also substantial variation in absolute levels of risk meaning that all offspring of parents with mental illness are unlikely to require early intervention, and service constraints make this infeasible. Early detection and intervention that is personalized dependent on absolute level of risk is therefore needed to improve access to early intervention for those at ultra-high-risk of developing early-onset depression. The goal of this project is to harness big data to stratify risk for early-onset depression.
The goal of the Danish work package, which is led by Dr. Katherine Musliner at the AU Department of Clinical Medicine, is to use Danish register-based data to validate the risk-stratification tool developed in the Welsh data. As such, a background in prediction modeling and experience working with Danish registry data is highly preferred.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in Microglial Biology and Single-Cell Multi-Omics
The successful candidate will lead the computational and integrative arm of a project on the epigenetic and transcriptomic drivers of microglial ontogeny in early brain development. This includes constructing high-resolution single-cell transcriptomic and chromatin atlases of microglia, inferring regulatory networks underlying lineage diversification, and integrating these maps with spatial and perturbation datasets generated in the laboratory.
The role is anchored in the developmental programme but extends across the wider laboratory, which has generated single-cell, single-nucleus, and spatial multi-omics resources spanning disease models, multiple brain regions, developmental and aging stages, and key genetic perturbations. The successful candidate will have access to these datasets and is expected to contribute computational leadership across linked projects within the lab.
