(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in “Modeling Economic Agents as Deep Reinforcement Learners”, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

The standard approach in economics is to assume economic agents behave as if they perfectly solve a mathematical optimization problem derived directly from the environment the agents are assumed to live in and the objectives they are assumed to aim for. Consumption-saving behavior in a simple life-cycle model, for example, follows from an environment in terms of the income and asset return risks households face and objectives in terms of their intertemporal preferences for consumption. Even for pure technical reasons the assumption of perfect problem solving is problematic because solving the full model then requires solving the optimization problems each agent face. This becomes a central computational bottleneck for model builders, and implies that only rather simple environments are considered. In a consumption-saving model, this implies a danger of over-simplifying the income and return risks households face, such that we get a distorted understanding of consumption-saving behavior in general and the drivers of precautionary saving in particular.

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship in The Origins of the Welfare State and Economic Development, Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen (UCPH)

This research project aims to examine the impact of policies related to the initial implementation of the welfare state and changes in democratic institutions on regional income and health inequalities during the 20th century. To do this, the study employs a historical framework using municipality data, which addresses the issue of unobserved heterogeneity present in many cross-national studies. Utilizing over 50 years of data, the project seeks to understand the long-term effects of various significant policy reforms. The study utilizes Danish historical data, which is of exceptional quality and offers a high level of detail compared to data from other countries. For instance, Danish historical tax records provide valuable insight into the past, with tabulated accounts of taxable income levels in each municipality from 1904 to 1970, including variables such as total income earned and the number of taxpayers in different income thresholds. This data allows for the measurement of income inequality across municipalities as well as within municipalities.

(11) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in CNS drug delivery at Department of Pharmacy

The increasing number of patients diagnosed with central nervous system disorders calls for novel medicines to treat diseases such as ischemic stroke. Brain drug delivery is, however, a major challenge. Potent therapeutic drugs are developped, but the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) excludes the far majority of these from entering the brain. As one example, is pharmacological treatment of ischemic stroke non-existing; even though peptide-drugs that effectively hinder stroke-triggered neuronal death are developped. The overall purose of this project is to address the major challenges in brain drug delivery, through the design of peptide-drug constructs with build-in BBB homing and BBB permeating functionalities. We will do that by exploiting the BBB homing potential of viral capsid peptides in synergy with membrane permeating peptides to facilitate brain delivery of a peptide-drug, which is relevant in the treatment of ischemic stroke. Ultimately for the benefit of patients and the society.

(13) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Molecular Biophysics

The project “Unraveling Conformations of High-genus Membranes
Our goal is to use and expand a multiscale simulation scheme to characterize the shape of high-genus membranes.
Biomembranes are fundamental to our understanding of the cell, the basic building block of all life. An intriguing aspect of membranes is their ability to assume a variety of shapes, which is crucial for cell function. The shape of fluid lipid membranes with spherical topology has been extensively explored. However, our understanding of membranes of higher genera remains extremely limited. High-genus membranes are of interest for several reasons, for example (i) organelle membranes, such as the ones found in mitochondria and Golgi apparatus exhibit high-genus shapes, and (ii) these structures allow for a much wider range of membrane conformations, which enables a better design of biomimetic systems.

The project “Coupling Architectures of the Cellular Powerhouse to Energy Production States
The inner membrane of mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, is highly folded, exhibiting intricate dynamical structures called cristae that are integral to a multitude of cellular processes, in particular bioenergetic demand. Abnormal cristae architectures are associated with many diseases, such as liver dysfunction. However, it remains obscure how exactly the crista shapes emerge and are connected to molecular activities. The goal of this project is to use multiscale computer simulation to understand how the activities and cooperativity of key molecular players shape crista membranes.

(14) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Protein Engineering

The element phosphorus is essential for all life on earth, and to maintain the intensive agriculture required to feed the world’s population, it is necessary to add phosphorus to the fertilizers that farmers use on their fields. The phosphorus used for fertilizer ends up as inorganic phosphate in wastewater via our food, or if it is not taken up by plants it is washed out of the fields and ends up in streams, lakes and the sea. Here it results in environmental problems such as the blooming of algae and oxygen depletion. The phosphate that ends up in wastewater or in the aquatic environment cannot be immediately collected and reused in agriculture. In this project, we wish to use engeneered phosphate binding proteins from bacteria to make a sustainable procedure that allows us to recover phosphorous, in the form of phosphate, from polluted lakes and wastewater. Based on our understanding of protein stability and protein function we will engineer proteins with tunable phosphate binding affinity and use an advanced bacterial generic selection method combined with next generation sequencing to improve the stability of our engeneered protein.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Microanalytical Solutions for Drug Transport Studies across Barriers at the Department of Pharmacy

The PhD project’s focus is on developing sensitive analytical methods directly coupled to a microfluidic organ-on-a-chip based skin model. It is envisioned to realize sample preparation (e.g., solid phase extraction or electro-membrane extraction) and separation modalities (chromatography or electrophoresis) also using microfluidics and microfabrication approaches, and then finally provide an interface to mass spectrometry. The ultimate goal is to have an online, time-resolved detection of drug transport processes through a skin model and also be able to investigate kinetics of possible metabolite production and cell fate in this model. The project is embedded in a larger highly cross-disciplinary project involving four dynamic research groups (at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and the University of Copenhagen (UCPH)) under the common leadership of Prof. Jonathan Brewer from SDU. Strong ties and interactions with in particular the Brewer group is considered essential to arrive at solutions to provide meaningful insight by combining the analytical methods directly with the organ-on-a-chip models.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in Advanced Drug Delivery Systems at Department of Pharmacy

There is a growing interest in the formation of cubosomes and hexosomes with controllable sizes and size distributions, and their online characterization (SAXS/WAXS-on-chip) through coupling X-ray compatible microfluidic platforms with synchrotron SAXS/WAXS. The latter online studies allow gaining insight into the involved dynamic structural transitions and nanoparticle formation kinetics at different mixing times, ranging from fractions of seconds to few seconds. However, these investigations require the use of microfluidic chips (typically 2D chips) with relatively big channel widths (typically 300 µm) that compromise the microfluidic efficacy in controlling the nanoparticle size characteristics. The PhD project will focus on designing efficient X-ray compatible chips, performing 3D hydrodynamic flow focusing. It is our interest to introduce chips that provide unique opportunities not only for the continuous synthesis of cubosomes, hexosomes and other lipid nanoparticles with controllable sizes (monodisperse nanoparticles), but also for the in situ characterization of these nano-self-assemblies through manipulation of the flow conditions and coupling to SAXS/WAXS. The project will also focus on evaluating the potential use of the generated safe nanomedicines in therapy of colorectal cancer.

PhD position summary/title: PhD fellowship in PGC Heterogeneity at Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM)

A cell’s epigenome is composed of its cell type-specific chromatin landscape and acts to preserve cell identity. In mammals, primordial germ cells (PGCs), the precursors to male and female gametes, experience the most extensive epigenetic reprogramming of any cell type. This reprogramming erases the chromatin landscape that defines somatic cells and prevents deleterious epimutations from being passed to the next generation. This project will investigate PGC reprogramming in the mouse. The successful candidate will have opportunity to learn embryology, mouse genetics, stem cell culture, cutting-edge genomics, and bioinformatics, as well as participate in development of imaging and flow cytometry methods.

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.
