Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering one or more postdoc positions (18-24 months) commencing 1 December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The positions are within materials chemistry with a strong focus on the use of X-ray scattering methods for characterization of atomic structure, as well as understanding material synthesis pathways.

The first project will concern the use of ultrafast X-ray scattering at synchrotron and XFEL sources to follow atomic scale structural changes taking place during chemical synthesis of nanoparticles. We aim to perform ultrafast time resolved Pair Distribution Function experiments to study the formation mechanism of nanoparticles and elucidate how precursor clusters in solution dissociate and nucleate to form nanoparticles. The postdoc project also involves synthesis development with focus on photo-induced reactions.  

The second project lies within size/structure relations and formation mechanisms for disordered oxide nanomaterials and high entropy materials for electrocatalysis. Here, the aim is to use synchrotron techniques including X-ray total scattering and X-ray spectroscopy to elucidate the formation pathways for materials using in situ synchrotron studies, as well as characterize their electrocatalytic properties through operando experiments.

The position is in the Nanostructure group at Department of Chemistry, led by Associate Professor Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen. The postdoc’s duties will include research within chemistry as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

To be considered, applicants must have a PhD degree in experimental chemistry, nanoscience, physics, or a similar field with experience in material synthesis. Extensive experience in synchrotron, neutron or XFEL experiments is furthermore required, including experience in advanced modelling of scattering or spectroscopy data. Experience with especially total scattering and Pair Distribution Function analysis will be considered an advantage. The candidate should be able to conduct independent and creative research, demonstrate scientific productivity, and show good inter-personal and communication skills. The candidate will work within our international, cross-disciplinary group and will co-supervise students and other group members. The candidate must have excellent English communication skills, and the ability to write scientific papers at a high level.

The postdoc will contribute to the ERC-funded project “Women in the Nordic Enlightenment (WHENCE). Changing the narratives of early modern philosophy and uncovering women’s contribution to Scandinavian gender equality” led by PI Sabrina Ebbersmeyer. The core of this project is to bring to light and critically assess women’s intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia. The guiding hypothesis is that the Nordic way of women’s Enlightenment significantly differs from developments prevalent in other regions of Europe, and that women played a decisive role in creating a sustainable identification of the Nordic countries with gender equality.

The expert on the “scholarly sphere and intellectual equality” will investigate writings reflecting on women’s intellectual capacities (including reason, talent, and understanding) and defending women’s intellectual equality. The expert will also explore the development of various arguments, the philosophical traditions on which these arguments rely, and the argumentative strategies women used to counter traditional views about women’s intellectual deficiency.

The position is in the field of organic synthesis in the group of Prof. Mogens Brøndsted Nielsen. The synthesis-driven project focuses on functional pi-conjugated molecules, and specifically polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing redox-active groups will be targeted. Stepwise synthesis protocols for constructing carbon nanosheets need to be developed and procedures for incorporating for example dithiafulvalene and tetrathiafulvalene redox groups at the periphery. The properties of the molecules will be studied by various methods, such as absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc starting from 1 january 2025. The postdoc will be dedicated to understanding allergic immunity at a fundamental level.   

We are looking to hire a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc with a PhD to join the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Candidates should have a strong background in data science, epidemiology, bioinformatics, machine learning, and/or genomic medicine and be interested in diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The position is a 3-year position to start December 1, 2024, or after agreement. The position is available in the Merino Group.

Our research group is interested in the mechanism of neurotransmitter release in chemical synapses, and the molecular basis for neurodevelopmental diseases and epilepsy (see Verhage and Sørensen, 2020, Neuron 107:22-37). We study these properties using an interdisciplinary approach, which includes human induced pluripotent stem cell (hIPSC)-derived neurons or mouse neurons, combined with microscopy, electrophysiology, and more lately omics methods. Our group is international and based on teamwork and interdisciplinarity. We collaborate with clinicians and patient groups. Our group is inclusive and fosters a collaborative and supportive spirit.

The candidate should have experience in using the NCAR Community Earth System Model or a similar class of Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) models. The central goal of the project is to investigate simulated multiple equilibria of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under modern climate conditions. In addition to this, future transient CO2 simulations will be investigated under the same ocean model configurations used to simulate the modern climate, in order to assess the potential for future tipping points. The work will be supervised by Professors Guido Vetoretti and Markus Jochum.

The PDFs duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication. Pedagogical training is also available with the position. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The Allergic Inflammation group at the Leo Foundation Skin Immunology Research Centre within ISIM is led by Jonathan Coquet. Our interests revolve around understanding the fundamentals of allergic inflammation. Core questions for our group include: What makes inflammatory allergic responses pathogenic? What are triggers for allergic inflammation? How do environmental and genetic factors combine to mediate allergy? To explore these questions, we utilise mouse models of allergy and infection and combine them with understanding allergic inflammation in human tissues. The team is diverse and participates in interdisciplinary work with national and international collaborators.
