Introduction
The Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies (https://ccrs.ku.dk) covers the study of culture, religion, ethics, language and society around the world historically and today. The department hosts both language-based regional studies outside Western Europe and thematically oriented studies including comparative cultural studies, minority studies and the study of religions. The assistant professor will work in the interdisciplinary Ancient Culture Studies section, which consists of Assyriology, Middle Eastern Archaeology, Egyptology, and Mesoamerican Studies (https://ccrs.ku.dk/research/ancientcultures/).

The section focuses on the world’s earliest complex societies in the Middle East and Mesoamerica and the lasting legacies of their ideas. Our research and teaching span combines ancient languages and archaeology to understand some of the most significant transformations in our collective past, including the rise of villages and cities, the emergence of writing and religion, and the development of technology, craftsmanship, political power, and social inequality. Our researchers study both ancient texts and material culture, as well as the context of these past legacies in the present.

The Ancient Culture Studies section at UCPH maintains the only full-degree program in Assyriology in the Nordic countries, from BA and MA, to PhD degrees. Assyriology at UCPH builds on a long-standing and internationally recognized research tradition, characterized by philological expertise, high academic standards, and active participation in global scholarly networks. The field has contributed significantly to the study of the ancient Near East and continues to foster international collaboration and excellence in both research and teaching. Applicants are invited to familiarize themselves with the Faculty’s strategic landmarks: Strategic landmarks – University of Copenhagen (ku.dk)  

Job description
The assistant professor (non-tenure-track) position is a fixed-term three-year academic position. The successful candidate is expected to conduct philologically founded research in Assyriology at a high international standard and to contribute to knowledge exchange with international scholarly communities, relevant stakeholders, and the wider public. The candidate will be expected to conduct research-based lectures and seminars, supervision, and examination of undergraduate and graduate students in Assyriology, as well as in courses taught in collaboration with Middle Eastern Archaeology, Egyptology, and Mesoamerican Studies. The teaching load equates up to seven contact hours per week over the course of a 14-week semester, in addition to examining and supervising students. The position includes the mandatory completion of a university teacher-training course for assistant professors. In addition, the assistant professor will participate in outreach activities and share in the administrative responsibilities of the Ancient Culture Studies section, including convening courses, attending meetings, and participating in shared academic governance.

The assistant professor will have a background in Assyriology, and a track record of conducting innovative and impactful research in one or more areas of cuneiform studies that complements existing expertise in Assyriology and the section for Ancient Culture Studies.

Our research

The Halliwell Group at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM), University of Copenhagen, investigates one of the most fundamental questions in biology: how a single fertilised egg successfully gives rise to a complex organism. We combine molecular biology, embryology, genomics and genome engineering to understand how DNA replication is established during the earliest stages of mammalian development, and how failures in this process contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss and developmental disorders.

Our research is highly interdisciplinary and combines human embryology, mouse models, single-cell genomics, advanced imaging and genome engineering. As a member of the group, you will work in an international and collaborative environment alongside PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, technicians and clinician-scientists, with opportunities to develop both technical expertise and scientific independence.

The Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM) provides outstanding research infrastructure, including dedicated facilities for human and mouse embryology, transgenic mouse generation, advanced microscopy and integrated single-cell genomics, creating an ideal environment for ambitious experimental research.

Your job

This postdoctoral position is part of a newly funded research programme investigating how DNA replication is established during the earliest stages of mammalian development. Accurate genome duplication is essential from the very first embryonic cell division, yet early embryos are remarkably susceptible to replication errors that can compromise development and are thought to contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss and congenital disease.

Our goal is to uncover the molecular mechanisms that establish robust DNA replication immediately after fertilisation. To achieve this, we combine cutting-edge approaches including single-embryo proteomics, allele-resolved replication sequencing, CRISPR-based genome engineering and innovative embryological techniques in both human samples and mouse models.

The successful candidate will lead two major components of the project. The first focuses on identifying maternal proteins that promote successful early embryonic development through quantitative single-embryo proteomics. The second explores a fundamental question in genome biology: whether DNA replication programmes are determined by chromatin itself or by the surrounding nuclear environment.

This position offers an exceptional opportunity to establish expertise at the interface of developmental biology, genome regulation and reproductive medicine while contributing to technically ambitious and conceptually innovative research.

Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist within the fields of Molecular or Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Embryology or alike with the following competencies and experience:

• You are experienced in supervising BSc, MSc and/or PhD students.
• You have good communication skills and the ability to work in teams with, e.g., PhD and MSc students.
• Experience with mouse/human embryology, IVF/ICSI, or embryo microinjection.
• You have excellent English skills, both written and spoken.

Desirable experience and skills:

• Have obtained FELASA ABD accredited certificate in animal handling or equivalent.
• You are experienced in CRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering.
• Experience in the field of DNA replication, DNA repair, genome instability and/or chromatin biology.
• Experience with next-generation sequencing and associated bioinformatic analysis.
• Experience with single-cell or single-embryo genomic/proteomic workflows.
• You have obtained a first author publication.

The project

The use of fertilizers in current agricultural systems results in  The field of biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) has gained increasing attention over the past decades as a promising strategy to mitigate fertilizer-derived greenhouse gas emissions in the global north and improve yields with reduced nitrogen inputs in the global south. Yet, despite more than 20 years of research, only a limited number of BNI compounds have been identified and characterized, and their precise mode of action remains largely unknown [8]. This lack of mechanistic insight hampers the integration of BNI traits into breeding programs.

The project capitalizes on a newly developed pipeline for identification of new BNI compounds with comparable efficiency to the current marketed synthetic nitrification inhibitors.

This project combines bioinformatics, biochemistry and molecular biology to elucidate missing biosynthetic enzymes to reconstruct complete metabolic pathways in yeast for bioproduction of biological nitrification inhibitors.

Project Description

The teaching of statistics and more broadly data science to students of other sciences is not limited to introducing them to standard techniques including those furnished by computer software. To be efficient, students must learn how scientific questions are investigated by statistical methods based on further analysis of the context and questions, planning of data collection and careful analysis of the conditions under which statistical theory and techniques serve to analyse the data in view of addressing the original questions. In the project, pairs of service/toolbox courses on statistics/data science, and some corresponding undergraduate and graduate science contexts, will already have been analysed in the project, within the framework of the anthropological theory of the didactics (ATD), with curriculum analysis based on paths of questions, praxeologies and other methods. Both the project participants, and the courses and programmes in question, come from both the University of Copenhagen and the University of Aarhus; significant time will be spent at the second institution as well.

The Postdoctoral Position

Based on the curriculum analysis, the postdoctoral fellow will construct and experiment didactical designs for students in the courses, which could provide them with authentic experiences of data analysis in their broader field, such as nanoscience or machine learning. The fellow will have the opportunity to work and publish with experts of statistics and of statistics education, at the frontier of research on the interactions between modern science and methods in data science.

Expected tasks include in collaboration with project participants:

• Designing and experimenting study and research activities that relate questions in select sciences to statistical methods and theory;
• Collect and analyse data related to the experiments;
• Publish research results in high-quality international journals;
• Participating actively in the local research environment and project activities.

In addition, teaching and dissemination work will occupy approximately 20% of the work time, primarily within courses and projects hosted by the Department of Science Education. The successful candidate will receive training and certification in university pedagogy, to support both teaching here and in later career steps.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for a highly motivated early-career researcher with a strong interest in statistics education and its roles in undergraduate and graduate science.

It is required that applicants:

• hold a PhD in statistics education or data science education by January 1, 2027, and a master degree in statistics or a closely related field;
• have documented teaching proficiency in university level statistics, preferably including courses for students of other natural sciences;
• are able to work independently as well as collaboratively in a research team.

It is considered an advantage if the applicant has experience with:

• research on statistics education in relation to one or more fields of natural science;
• design-based research in statistics education that involves collaborating with university teachers of both statistics and natural science in a research-intensive environment;
• research within the ATD.

Applicants should explain, for all six points above, how their publications and other documentation submitted demonstrate their qualifications in relation to each point.

Danish language proficiency is not required for the position. However, it is expected that applicants can communicate research clearly in spoken and written English and are willing to adapt to an environment where Danish is often used, for instance by attending a basic course in this language.

University of Copenhagen

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a profound impact on local and regional climates. Yet, this impact is highly uncertain due to the lack of reliable estimates for natural emissions and uptake of these reactive volatiles. All organisms produce, and some consume, mixtures of diverse volatile compounds such as VOCs, reactive nitrogen gases (e.g., HONO), and sulfur/halogenated compounds (e.g., DMS and methylhalides). However, biological sources and sinks of volatiles, other than terrestrial plants, remain poorly characterized. In the Center for Volatile Interactions (VOLT), we focus on VOC production, consumption and transformations associated with soil, cryptogams, freshwater, seawater, and glacial ice environments, as well as plant leaf and rhizosphere microbial communities. Our research encompasses experimental (field and laboratory) and modelling work and includes e.g. rate measurements, experiments with stable isotopes, and molecular analyses to assess volatile production/consumption processes and identify the organisms involved. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic, collaborative, and international research environment. VOLT is a Center of Excellence housed in Universitetsparken, Copenhagen, where we have laboratory facilities and state-of-the-art instrumentation for analyses of volatile compounds, molecular analyses of microbial community structure and activity, as well as incubation and climate chamber facilities.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD in biology, chemistry or related fields, to conduct cutting-edge, hypothesis-driven research within the scientific area of VOLT, focusing on process understanding related to VOC exchange in terrestrial ecosystems. You have the opportunity to propose a research plan starting from your own skills and experience, working, for example, with leaf surfaces, tree stems, soil, or lake sediment.

The candidate should have a strong publication record in biological VOC research, biogeochemistry, metabolomics, microbiology, or related fields. Experience in designing and conducting experiments based on hypotheses is required while experience with VOC measurements using mass spectrometric methods, especially PTR-MS or GC-MS (or related instrumentation) is desirable as is experience with isotope-based approaches for studying biological processes. In addition, experience conducting independent research, securing competitive research funding, and contributing to the development of external funding applications will be considered an advantage. Experience in advanced statistical analyses and programming (e.g., R, Python, or related tools) is an asset.

We are looking for a highly dedicated and enthusiastic candidate for a 3-year externally funded position as Assistant Professor (non-tenure track). The available position aims to generate more insight in plant immunity processes to allow us to exploit them in sustainable disease control. We have previously identified powdery mildew fungal effectors interfering with the immunity-associated membrane trafficking and a project has been designed to study this targeting in detail. These studies will uncover how effectors block plant pathways important for pathogenesis, and potentially identify residues in plant proteins essential for this interaction, which can then be targeted for crop improvement.

The assistant professor’s duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication and research-based teaching with associated examination obligations within plant immunity. To a limited extent this may also include performance of other duties.

Assessment of applicants will primarily consider their level of documented, internationally competitive research. The ability to attract external funding will be considered together with outreach qualifications. Teaching qualifications are not mandatory, but documented teaching qualifications and teaching experience will be considered.

Possible methodological directions include generative distribution matching, domain adaptation, diffusion- or score-based models for noise and style transfer, contrastive and masked self-supervised learning, uncertainty-aware learning, and few-shot adaptation.

The project is rooted in scientific machine learning, with biological imaging and biophysical simulation as driving testbeds. We work with data that range from chromatin organization to microorganism tracking. A strong candidate may come from machine learning, computer vision, generative modelling, scientific computing, simulation-based inference, or a related area.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a PhD or equivalent research experience in computer science, machine learning, scientific computing, physics, applied mathematics, engineering, computational biology, or a closely related field.

Relevant experience may include one or more of the following:

• generative AI, including diffusion models / flow matching, GANs, VAEs, normalizing flows, or energy-based models
• self-supervised, unsupervised, or semi-supervised learning and representation learning
• contrastive learning, masked modelling, domain adaptation, or unpaired translation
• synthetic-to-real learning, simulation-to-reality methods, or few-shot adaptation
• differentiable programming, automatic differentiation, and optimization in JAX, PyTorch, or similar frameworks
• scientific machine learning, inverse problems, differentiable simulation, or physics-based modelling
• computer vision, biological image analysis, microscopy data, or other noisy high-dimensional scientific data

About the project

Avant-Courts - Decentring Legal Power: Avantgarde Courts at the Frontiers of the Global Economy

The project is led by Professor Mikael Rask Madsen and investigates the transformation of the global legal order caused by the rise of new hybrid courts at the frontiers of the global economy. It focuses on jurisdictional battles and legal knowledge exchanges between Western courts and new challengers, analysing how new litigation hubs are disrupting traditional legal institutions. The project starts out by examining avantgarde courts in three distinct legal spaces: new economic spaces, outer space, and virtual spaces. Other empirical sites may also be considered.

The postdoc projects are expected to contribute to Avant-Courts’ exploration of virtual courts or space adjudication. We, however, also welcome applications that develop projects that explores adjacent fields of international and transnational adjudication to those identified by Avant-Courts.

More information about the research project and its aims and methods may be found here: https://jura.ku.dk/icourts/research/avant-courts/

__________________________________________________________________
The Faculty of Law is one of six faculties at the University of Copenhagen. The Faculty carries out research, education and knowledge dissemination within the area of law. Research is partly organized in research centres and groups with focus on thematic areas of interest. The Faculty employs about 80 full time researchers and approx. 50 PhD students as well as approx. 70 administrative staff members. In addition, approx. 450 part-time lecturers teach on the legal programmes on which approx. 4,500 students are enrolled. See the Faculty website: http://jura.ku.dk/english for more information.

The position is funded by the DNRF Centre of Excellence, Centre for Culture and the Mind (CULTMIND).

The successful candidate will work closely with the Centre leader Ana Antic and the Centre’s trauma strand. The candidate will join a dynamic international and interdisciplinary research team, based at the Centre.

Introduction
The Centre for Culture and the Mind explores the puzzling relationship between cultural differences and the human psyche from a variety of disciplinary perspectives: historical, anthropological, psychiatric, literary and psychological. It zooms in on the core questions about the universality or otherwise of the human mind, which remain as difficult to answer today as they were a century ago.

The Centre proposes that the issue of culture-mind relationship lays at the core of many social, political and medical debates: within cross-cultural psychiatry/psychotherapy, in trauma studies, and in migration and refugee studies. It explores how the human mind and common humanity have been imagined in different cultural, sociopolitical and disciplinary contexts, examining the assumptions and forces which shaped such definitions. By analyzing how different cross-cultural models of the psyche were formulated and critiqued, the Centre’s interdisciplinary team aims to develop a new framework for understanding cross-cultural interventions and their politics, and to arrive at a more nuanced model of interaction between socio-cultural contexts and ideas of the psyche.

The Centre consists of four interrelated thematic strands: cross-cultural research in human sciences; cross-cultural notions of trauma and resilience; cross-cultural therapeutics and creative mind; and cross-cultural encounters and population movements (migration).

The Centre consists of four interrelated thematic strands: cross-cultural research in human sciences; cross-cultural notions of trauma and resilience; cross-cultural therapeutics and creative mind; and cross-cultural encounters and population movements (migration).

Qualification requirements
The postdoctoral fellow will be a core member of the Centre’s thematic strand on cross-cultural trauma studies. This strand, informed by multiple disciplines such as anthropology, history, literature and clinical practice, develops a transcultural and comparative framework for understanding varied conceptualizations of human suffering and ‘resilience,’ and for engaging with the ‘pain of others’. It interrogates the universalist paradigm of trauma and explores different ways in which languages of distress have been made intelligible across cultural boundaries. It also explores the complex processes of ‘psychiatrization’ of suffering, their impact in different cultural and political settings, and their capacity to interact with or direct attention away from political, social and economic factors. Finally, the strand analyses the rich interplay between psychiatric conceptualizations of trauma and local (non-medical, culturally and politically specific) vocabularies of psychological pain.

The post-doctoral project focuses on the wars of Yugoslav succession and their aftermath and will explore how local idioms of pain and suffering in post-conflict societies outside the Western world have interacted with both humanitarian psychiatric initiatives and local memory politics. It will rely on medical humanities analysis (anthropological, historical, literary) to understand how psychological pain and loss have been communicated in survivor narratives, and whether the notions of psychological trauma or PTSD played a role in the survivors’ perceptions of the effects of extreme violence on individuals and communities. In parallel, the project will explore mental health initiatives which have been implemented in response to the conflict in former Yugoslavia in order to understand how their discourses of psychological traumatization might have affected the memory, language and interpretations of the wars in the local communities. Candidates are expected to have research background and experience in humanities disciplines (anthropology, history, literature), as well as regional and linguistic expertise in former Yugoslavia.

The successful candidate is expected to work both independently and in collaboration with the Centre’s research team.

Qualification
Applicants must have qualifications corresponding to PhD level related to the subject area of the project.

Within the Centre’s research team, the candidate will take part in broader intellectual and methodological discussions around the project’s goals and general directions. Experience with collaborative and interdisciplinary work will be an asset.

Applicants must possess skills in written and spoken academic English at a high level. If deemed necessary, the department may request that applicants document their English skills.

Application
All applications must be submitted online, in PDF or Microsoft Word format, via the link “Apply now” at the bottom of the page.

The application must include:

• Application letter/cover letter (max 1 page).
• Curriculum vitae (with applicant’s e-mail & telephone number).
• Documentation of qualifications (examination certificates/PhD diploma, etc.).
• Complete and numbered list of publications. The enclosed publications must be marked with *.

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic Assistant Professor for a 3 year position, commencing 21st November 2026.

The position focuses on how the complement system changes with ageing in the vascular wall, with particular emphasis on proteomic changes in arteries in aged humans and rodents with and without hypertension. The successful candidate will develop an independent research profile while contributing to collaborative research and teaching in an interdisciplinary biomedical environment.

Information on the department can be found at: https://bmi.ku.dk

Our research
The Jepps Lab at the University of Copenhagen is an exciting, highly translational vascular biology group where myography and cardiovascular physiology meet cutting-edge mass spectrometry and proteomics to uncover new mechanisms driving hypertension and vascular inflammation. By combining functional measurements of arterial tone and remodeling with deep proteomic profiling, the lab moves seamlessly from identifying disease-associated proteins and pathways to testing their physiological relevance in experimental models. What makes the lab particularly attractive is its clear ambition to translate discovery into patient benefit: findings from vascular physiology and proteomics are being used to understand how inflammation contributes to hypertension and to identify interventions that can be tested clinically. This translational pipeline is already becoming reality with colchicine, where mechanistic work on vascular inflammation and remodeling has progressed from experimental studies to the COHERENT randomized clinical trial investigating low-dose colchicine in patients with hypertension. For researchers who want to work across molecular discovery, quantitative proteomics, vascular physiology and clinical translation—and ultimately see laboratory findings move all the way toward clinical trials—the Jepps Lab offers a uniquely integrated and ambitious environment.

 Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc for a 2-year position, commencing on the 1st of February 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project
Cardiac fibrosis is a major driver of heart failure and a common endpoint of many forms of cardiac injury and disease. This project will use zebrafish as a model organism to dissect the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac fibrosis, connecting findings from human genetic studies to functional validation in vivo. The work will draw on bioinformatic analysis of human genetic and multi-omics data, RNA sequencing, and proteomic approaches, combined with zebrafish genetics, imaging, and functional assays, to identify and characterize genes and pathways that drive fibrotic remodeling of the heart.

Our research group
The Cardiac Functional Genomics Group at the University of Copenhagen studies the genetic and molecular basis of heart disease, integrating human genetic discoveries with mechanistic studies in the zebrafish model system. We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team and lead a project on the genomics of cardiac fibrosis.

Interviews are expected to be held in week 50

The University of Copenhagen wish to reflect the diversity of society and encourage all qualified candidates to apply regardless of personal background.

The Employment Relations Research Centre (FAOS) at the Department of Sociology, University of Copenhagen, invites applications for two fixed-term postdoctoral researcher positions (2½ years) starting 1 March 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.

These positions are part of the project ‘Labour Migration as a Source of Institutional Change’, which investigates how companies’ use of migrant labour can cause changes in receiving countries labour market institutions. The postdoctoral researcher will undertake comparative case studies of companies’ use of migrant labour across three sectors (manufacturing, construction and hospitality) in two countries (either Austria and Netherlands or Ireland and Sweden). The case studies will contribute to all aspects of the project, including a five-country comparison.   

The project is led by Associate Professor Jens Arnholtz (PI) and is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The research team will consist of the two postdoctoral researchers and the PI.

Job Description
In many Western European countries, labour migrants’ share of employment has expanded substantially the last decades reaching beyond 25 percent in some countries. However, our current understanding of how labour market institutions change ignores labour migration. Therefore, we know little about the long-term impact of labour migration on receiving countries’ labour market institutions.

To address this issue, this project proposes and tests a new theory of how labour migration causes institutional change: Companies pursuing deviant business strategies can use labour migrants to overcome institutional obstacles and the proliferation of such deviant business strategies can cause incremental institutional change. The cumulative effects of those changes have transformative potential for how labour markets are governed.

To test and develop this theory, the postdoctoral researcher will conduct sector case studies in different countries focusing both on the link between deviant business strategies and the use of migrant labour, and on the cumulative effects of labour migration over time in different sectors and countries.

Key Tasks:

• Conduct comparative case studies of the use of migrant labor in three sectors across two countries.
• Utilize process-tracing methodologies to analyze to what extent inflow of migrant labour and proliferation of deviant business practices are related.
• Conduct and analyze interviews with company representatives, trade unions, labour inspectors and other authorities, and experts.
• Gather and analyze supplementary data such as statistics, archival data, media sources, policy documents, and studies to reconstruct historical development.
• Compare cross-national and cross-sectorial variations in how divergent business strategies and labour migration co-develop.
• Write academic articles based on findings for submission to top sociology and political science journals.
• Present findings at international conferences (e.g., SASE, CES, EPSA, ESA).

The project includes 1½ month research stay in each case country, hosted by members of the project’s advisory board.

The postdoctoral researcher position is mainly a research position, but there is a 10 % teaching obligation.

For further information, including more details on project, please contact Associate Professor Jens Arnholtz (jh@faos.dk).

Qualifications
Appointment as a postdoctoral researcher requires research qualifications at a level at least equivalent to those obtained through the satisfactory completion of a PhD programme within the relevant field.

We seek candidates with the following qualifications:

• A PhD in Sociology, Political Science, Comparative Political Economy, Industrial Relations or a related field (completed or near completion).
• Expertise in qualitative research methods, particularly comparative case study analysis, qualitative interviews and process-tracing.
• Knowledge of political economy, labour market institutions or labour migration.
• Fluency in English and either German and Dutch or Swedish is required; proficiency in Danish is desirable but not a requirement.
• Experience with or willingness to engage in academic collaboration.
