PhD position summary/title: PhD Fellow in Explainable Natural Language Understanding
The PhD fellowship is offered in the context of an ERC Starting Grant held by Isabelle Augenstein on ‘Explainable and Robust Automatic Fact Checking (ExplainYourself)’. ERC Starting Grant is a highly competitive funding program by the European Research Council to support the most talented early-career scientists in Europe with funding for a period of 5 years for blue-skies research to build up or expand their research groups. ExplainYourself proposes to study explainable automatic fact checking, the task of automatically predicting the veracity of textual claims using machine learning (ML) methods, while also producing explanations about how the model arrived at the prediction. Automatic fact checking methods often use opaque deep neural network models, whose inner workings cannot easily be explained. Especially for complex tasks such as automatic fact checking, this hinders greater adoption, as it is unclear to users when the models’ predictions can be trusted. Existing explainable ML methods partly overcome this by reducing the task of explanation generation to highlighting the right rationale. While a good first step, this does not fully explain how a ML model arrived at a prediction. For knowledge intensive natural language understanding (NLU) tasks such as fact checking, a ML model needs to learn complex relationships between the claim, multiple evidence documents, and commonsense knowledge in addition to retrieving the right evidence. There is currently no explainability method that aims to illuminate this highly complex process. In addition, existing approaches are unable to produce diverse explanations, geared towards users with different information needs. ExplainYourself radically departs from existing work in proposing methods for explainable fact checking that more accurately reflect how fact checking models make decisions, and are useful to diverse groups of end users. It is expected that these innovations will apply to explanation generation for other knowledge-intensive NLU tasks, such as question answering or entity linking.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Muscle Cell Biology at the Department of Biomedical Sciences
Patients who are critically ill are treated in specialised intensive care units. Because of developments in critical care medicine, most of these patients now survive and are ultimately discharged from hospital. Despite this, patients’ physical function is often markedly impaired for long periods after hospital discharge, affecting their ability to work and deeply impacting healthcare resources. This prolonged loss of physical function has been largely attributed to ‘critical illness myopathy’. The present project aims to define the exact underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of critical illness myopathy. For that, we will perform deep phenotyping of human muscle samples using multiple cell-based assays, X-ray diffraction and proteomics.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship – “Green Futures: Strategic Partnerships in the Anthropocene” project, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF)
The planetary-scale climate crisis is fostering a new form of international cooperation: green strategic partnerships. This still-evolving intergovernmental collaboration locates the climate crisis at the core of bilateral exchange and cooperation. The green framework, at once, signals a reconfiguration of the older forms of bilateral strategic partnerships as well as an expansion of the existing edifice of global climate policies and multilateral institutions. Green Futures: Strategic Partnerships in the Anthropocene examines this emerging multi-scalar architecture of climate diplomacy and climate partnerships. Taking the Denmark-India green strategic partnership as the empirical ground, the project delves into the unfolding battle for global sustainable futures along multiple scales and sites across the global north and south.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Project in mafic crustal growth
Understanding Earth’s crustal growth is crucial to understanding the evolution of its tectonics, the birth of the first continents, and the fundamental changes that transformed Earth into a habitable planet. However, our current understanding of crustal growth is heavily biased towards felsic compositions, despite the continents being intermediate on average. This bias becomes increasingly problematic earlier in Earth history, when the continents were likely more mafic than they are today. During this PhD project, you will address this bias and for the first time attempt to reconstruct a complete crustal growth curve for an Archaean continental nucleus, the Superior Craton. This work will focus on the recently developed use of detrital chromite grains in sedimentary rocks for detecting the age and composition of since-destroyed ancient mafic crust. You will collect your own samples during fieldwork in the Superior Craton, Canada, develop geochemical tools for tracing chromite provenance and ages, and combine these with existing methods to produce the first ever combined mafic-felsic crustal growth curve for an Archaean craton.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Evolutionary Modelling for Human Genomics at the Supek Group, BRIC
We invite the brightest minds in the world of computational biology to dive into the frontier of evolutionary genomics research using long-read sequencing and machine learning. As a part of our dynamic team, you’ll be at the forefront of understanding structural variation (SV) mutations in the human genome, and their impact on disease risk and cancer evolution. We aim to understand and predict the effects of copy number altering (CNA) SVs, which can change gene dosage. Current methodologies to identify which CNA are pathogenic present a plethora of inaccuracies, because CNAs affect many genes at once and thus the causal gene within a CNA segment is hard to pinpoint. Your studies will innovate by comparing observed CNA SV rates in tumors against a novel machine-learning based SV risk predictions, thereby inferring positive selection (identifying cancer driver genes) or negative selection (identifying new tumor vulnerabilities). Further, you will venture into the less-charted territories of somatic SVs, focusing on those that disrupt gene regulatory regions. By pooling together myriad regulatory regions linked to each gene, you will spearhead the identification of a novel class of non-coding cancer driver mutations that alter gene regulation.

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.
