(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc Researcher on Highly renewable energy systems under extreme weather events (2 years)
The electricity grid is the largest machine we have ever built, but climate change mitigation demands its profound and rapid transformation. Wind and solar energy allow decarbonizing power systems but make them sensitive to increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events. In the EXTREMES project, we will investigate how frequent, severe, prolonged in time, and extended in space the extreme episodes challenging our energy system can be. Gaining a deep understanding of these extreme phenomena is crucial to avoiding blackouts and designing strategies to minimize their impact. We will use the PyPSA-Eur, an open high-resolution network model of the sector-coupled European energy system. We will use the model to derive robust configurations of net-zero emissions energy systems. Then, we will use different techniques such as extreme statistics, principal component analysis, and machine learning techniques to unveil the key spatial and temporal characteristics of such extreme events. We will also investigate the impacts of climate change-induced events on energy systems.
Postdoc summary/title: Postdoc position in spatial electrophysiology
The qualified candidate will become an essential member of a multidisciplinary team of international scientists based at the Group of Brain Development and Disease at the University of Copenhagen.

The teams’ strengths lie in stem cell biology, electrophysiology and single cell technologies. This position is part of a Novo Nordisk Foundation Interdisciplinary Synergy grant. The overall research aim of the project is to produce a novel multiomic technology that combines spatial transcriptomics with electrophysiology for use in the neurosciences and includes collaborators from Harvard University/Brigham Women’s hospital and De Lille University, France. The position entails profiling the entorhinal cortex (region of the brain) in mice using standard and novel multielectrode arrays and performing to a lesser extent, the spatial transcriptomics method, Merfish. This technique will be compared with a newly developed procedure in our lab, patch-seq, on the mouse entorhinal cortex. The applicant will also be expected to contribute to some elements of the patch-seq procedure.

These novel technologies provide a much greater coverage, robustness and label-free quantification of the protein composition. Inherently this will also improve the identification and quantification of protein modifications e.g. phosphorylations and other post-translational modifications. The postdoc will work on this exciting project in collaboration with and mentored by project leader professor Lotte Bach Larsen, and co-supervisors from Aarhus University as well as mentors from Arla Foods. The successful applicant will be part of the Science Team ‘Food Chemistry’, a strong international research team where cooperation, creativity, and kindness are valued.
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in cerebrospinal fluid physiology
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is serious condition where the ventricles of the brain fill with blood. A known result of IVH is acidosis, which aggravates the outcome. Normal brain function is dependent on maintaining brain pH and little is known about how CSF pH is regulated. As the brain is in direct contact with the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), changes in CSF pH directly affect the brain tissue. It is believed that by actively secreting bases such as HCO3- the choroid plexus (CP) is important in CSF pH regulation. The aim of the research project is to identify the molecular mechanisms behind the ability of the CP to sense and respond to changes in CSF pH during IVH mediated acidosis. We hypothesize that the receptor RPTPγ is a HCO3- sensing protein in the luminal membrane of CP that activates HCO3- extrusion via the HCO3- transporters Ncbe, NBCe2 and NBCn1. We will explore how the CP senses pH changes using in vitro and in vivo models using knockdown techniques, in vivo CSF pH analysis and a mouse model of IVH.
