(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in atmospheric chemistry on investigating the phase behavior of secondary organic aerosol particles
The project will focus on secondary organic aerosol (SOA), a major type of atmospheric particles, that impact atmospheric chemistry, air quality and climate.
SOA particles can respond to changes in atmospheric conditions by undergoing phase separation or mixing. This results in particles with either multiple condensed phases or a single condensed phase, respectively. These changes can also alter the phase state of SOA particles, often described by their dynamic viscosity, causing them to transition between liquid, semi-solid, or solid (glassy) states. In this project, we aim to develop methods to accurately quantify these changes in aerosol phase behavior.
We will deploy microscopy-based techniques to probe the phase behavior of well characterized particles. Through targeted experiments, complex SOA types will be generated in our atmospheric simulation chamber (AURA), where advanced instrumentation is available, from oxidation of different precursor gases.

(27) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: 2-yr postdoc on human macroecology in a functional trait perspective Aarhus University (re-advertisement)
This position is focused on understanding the diverse roles humans might have in ecosystems globally by applying a functional trait perspective that integrates cross-cultural ethnographic idata (from, for instance, D-PLACE), palaeodemography (from, for instance, HYDE), and estimates of human energy consumption. Humans have evolved the unique, culturally and technologically mediated ability to act in multiple different ecological roles – for instance, as foragers, pastoralists, farmers, industrialists – and these variable socio-economic constellations determine their interactions with the environment.
Our aim is to understand these ecological interactions globally in a data-driven macroecological approach, and to articulate these analyses with projections of future climate, human energy consumption, and human niche dynamics differentiated by socio-economic constellation.
The postdoc is expected to lead an investigation that combines functional trait theory, metabolic theory and energetics, macroecological modelling, and human socio-ecology to better understand the variable roles adopted by human communities practicing different economies within ecosystems, and their impacts on these – past, present, and future.
We aim for the investigation to encompass a temporal scope spanning from the Middle Pleistocene to potential future scenarios.
We are open to hearing the candidate’s take on this and would like the postdoc to contribute ideas and concepts to the project and lead at least two high-quality papers in this research area. We also emphasize the importance of engaging fully in the center’s outreach and educational efforts, while also supporting and encouraging collaborative work with ECONOVO colleagues, including students.
This collaboration involves sharing skills and contributing to problem-solving within the postdoc’s area of expertise.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: RE-ADVERTISEMENT: Postdoc in Spatial Transcriptomics in Cancer
We are now initiating new projects centered around spatial transcriptomics (cosMx technology) and RNA-sequencing to address key questions about coding and non-coding RNAs in cancer pathobiology with the aim of translating this new knowledge into clinical practice. Many non-coding RNA molecules possess strong gene-regulatory potential, yet the roles of most non-coding RNAs in cancer and other multifactorial diseases remain unclear. These projects aim to unravel the pathobiology of non-coding RNAs in cancer and elucidate novel genetic and epigenetic mechanisms behind aberrant RNA expression in cancer. Moreover, we aim to characterize the molecular functions of selected non-coding RNAs that are pivotal drivers of cancer pathogenesis and potentially translate this knowledge into clinical use through large, well-annotated clinical cohorts.
