(02) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:– PhD fellowship in Environmental Economics
Over the coming decades, the Danish government has the ambition to increase the forest area by 250,000 hectares to meet a number of strategic environmental and climate goals. It is currently unknown how the areas will be selected and how to prioritise between different objectives such as climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, water quality improvements in coastal waters and protection of ground water resources. Integrated Environmental Economic models are useful tools to conduct scenarios for different strategies and explore their implementation. The PhD will further develop existing national scale models to improve their robustness for policy design.
The PhD will improve the existing national scale economic model (TargetEconBES) to allow more targeted scenario development for afforestation strategies. This will require integration of new data sources and close interaction with experts from different environmental science domains.
It is envisaged, that the project will enhance the methodologies to evaluate alternative land use scenarios and produce an overall analysis of the value of establishing new forests in different places in Denmark. Through spatially explicit environmental economics modelling, the project will integrate data on the current land use, the economic and environmental values of alternative uses, and develop landscape level scenarios to identify where new forests could achieve significant environmental benefits in cost effective ways.

(05) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:– PhD fellowship in Unraveling the impact of oral diseases, and unique oral microbiome and salivary proteome signatures in identifying early-stage complications in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes
The project is part of a larger interdisciplinary collaboration, in which children and adolescents with T1D from Eastern Denmark undergo a comprehensive screening program using advanced methods.
There is an increasing recognition of the complex interplay between oral and general health, and this project acknowledges the strength of including evaluation of oral health into the conventional screening program of early signs of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy.
This project will provide new insights in the interplay between oral and systemic determinants of development of early diabetic complications, which eventually can be useful in identifying subgroups at specific risk of early complications and enhance development of preventive and therapeutic measures to minimize morbidity later in life.
An additional aim is to determine whether the salivary glands are potential targets of autoimmune processes as those seen in the pancreas in type 1 diabetes. The salivary glands may also be targets for vascular and nerve changes and display early signs of microangiopathy and neuropathy. These histopathological changes can contribute to explain occurrence of salivary gland dysfunction and subsequent development of oral diseases and assist in identifying children with type 1 diabetes having specific needs for dental preventive measures and treatment to avoid disease development and complicating the management of type 1 diabetes.

(06) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:– Two PhD fellowships in “The effect of biotechnological pesticides based on RNA and peptides on species in the environment”
The vision of ENSAFE is to develop the in silico and experimental methods and tools needed to underpin an efficient evidence-based risk assessment framework for new bio-based plant protection products (PPPs) based on short double stranded RNA (dsRNA) and peptides. We will hire two PhD students working with each their model compound of newly commersialised dsRNA or peptide based products:
- PhD 1 will focus on understanding species specificity of PPPs based on spray on dsRNA, of which the first product, Ledprona, was approved for use in the USA in December 2023. You will work closely with the bioinformatisians in the project, who develop computer models to predict which species may be the most sensitive based on their genomic composition. You will create experimental data to underpin the mashine learning models, and will test hypotheses formulated based on the models. Species sensitivity measures may include endpoints reaching from the molecular scale using different omic’s techniques to monitoring life-history traits such as growth, reproduction and survival of the test organisms.
- PhD 2 will focus on understanding species specificity of PPPs based on spray on peptides, of which insecticides from the company Vestaron will provide a first case, but other products could be included. You will also work with bioinformatisians, who develop computer models to predict which species may be the most sensitive, but the link between genomes and target proteins may be less close that that for RNA-based products. Species sensitivity measures may include endpoints reaching from the molecular scale using different omic’s techniques to monitoring life-history traits such as growth, reproduction and survival of the test organisms.
Common for both PhD’s will be joint work with our project partners at UK Center for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford, England, who are experts in terrestrial ecotoxicology and risk assessments of biopesticides, and host a range of important non-target species such as ladybirds, bees and butterflies, and collaboration with project partners from Ålborg University who are experts in tracing biomolecules such as RNA and peptides in organisms and the environment. Two PhDs will also be hired by CEH, who will dive closer into biological modes of actions of the producs when sensitive species have been identified by you, and postdocs and PhDs will be hired by Ålborg university to develop the tools for tracking the products in organisms and the environment. Hence, you will be part of a team of 4-5 PhD students working on each their topic within the ENSAFE project, and will be an active and contributing part of the ENSAFE consortium working on creating the scientific foundation needed to effectively evaluate the environmental safety of dsRNA and peptide-based PPP technologies for uses in Europe.

(10) Fully Funded PhD Position
PhD position summary/title:– PhD fellowship in Microbial Communities Interactions
This project aims to understand and utilize the potential of multispecies bacterial communities to enhance plant protection and improve crop resilience. We will explore how bacterial competition, such as space colonization, nutrient uptake, and protective compound secretion, contributes to crop resilience. By filling the knowledge gap in multispecies protection, we hope to optimize beneficial microbial interactions, leading to more sustainable agricultural practices and longer shelf-life for food products.
The main goal of this PhD project is to study multispecies community interactions using an artificial potato-like model, which we will develop as part of this project. To investigate bacterial interactions, we plan to create a biomimetic surface that mimics natural potato topography. The project includes three primary objectives: creating and characterizing the artificial model for studying bacterial spatial dynamics, analyze how bacterial communities organize and interact over time using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH), and investigate how nutrient uptake impacts competitive exclusion among these communities.
The position is for 3 years, and the project will be carried out at the Section of Microbiology, Gut Health, and Fermentation, Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen. You will engage in activities within the group and with national and international collaborators.
The principal supervisor is tenure-track assistant professor Henriette Lyng Røder, PhD, of the Section of Microbiology, Gut Health, and Fermentation in the Department of Food Science.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD fellowship in Barrier Immunology at the LEO Foundation Skin Immunology Research Center (SIC)
HS is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin that affects approximately 1% of the population. HS lesions occur primarily in apocrine gland bearing skin such as the ano/genital area and arm pits. It presents as a continuum of inflammatory states ranging from acne-like inflammatory nodules to recurrent abscesses, extensive sinus tracts and deep seated scaring. The etiology of HS remains unclear but involves immune dysregulation that appears to be initiated around hair follicles and an inflammatory infiltrate that includes the recruitment of both innate and adaptive immune cells. Emerging evidence have identified inflammatory bowel disease, and particularly Crohn’s disease, as a comorbidity in HS and both diseases share risk factors including smoking and obesity.
Your project aims to assess potential cellular and molecular mechanism underlying the association between Crohn’s disease and HS.

PhD position summary/title:– PhD fellowship in Urban Frontiers
The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in human history. However, no land, that government and developers see as future cities in the Global South, is vacant. There is no empty ‘no-man’s land.’ Individual citizens, social movements, squatters, and urban developers already engage in making their land use look legal. Urban property development in the Global South therefore often starts out in illegality, and only subsequently does it become legal. The project investigates how land is accessed, coded, and controlled in urban peripheries.
Applicants will work within the theoretical and conceptual framework of the programme as described on www.urbanfrontiers.eu. The research project will conduct a series of extended case studies of concrete social struggles in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Applicants must propose a country and within it an urban research site and describe how the research priorities of the programme will be relevantly addressed in the project (maximum 4 pages). Significant fieldwork is envisaged. Relevant language capabilities are important qualifications.
The PhD students will be working within the Global Development Section in the Department for Food and Resource Economics at the University of Copenhagen.
