5. Fully Funded PhD in Structural insights into DNA repair in the context of chromatin
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Different types of DNA damage are detected and repaired by specialized pathways in the DNA damage response (DDR). One particularly hazardous lesion is the DNA double strand break (DSB). If the other copy of the chromosome is available, it can be used as a template to repair the break through a process called homologous recombination (HR). In addition to DSBs caused by external factors, cells can also generate DSBs to resolve other types of DNA damage, such as lesions that block DNA replication. Thus, various DDR pathways converge on a common response, utilizing HR to repair DSBs.

7. Fully Funded PhD in New condensed matter physics experiments enabled by machine learning
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This question is central to the present PhD project. The broader task is to integrate machine learning techniques into the data collection in an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiment on the synchtrotron radiation source ASTRID2 in Aarhus. The PhD student will enable new types of measurements by merging the current data collection tools with machine learning procedures, and demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by photoemission experiments on novel quantum materials. The eventual objective will be to enable new types of experiments that can unravel the complex physics in quantum materials. The project is thus situated on the border between experimental physics and data science.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Interaction Design for Faithful Explainable AI (FXAI)
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Recent years have seen impressive breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), in particular machine learning (ML), e.g. deep learning models outperform humans in recognizing objects in images. AI increasingly pervades domains such as public administration, medicine journalism, and education thus creating a need for human-AI interaction. In response to this, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to provide insight into AI models, such that we can understand them, build trust in them, as well as meet e.g. EU regulation on a “right to explanation”.
Application Deadline: 1 November 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD in Ensemble Visualization for Progressive Analytics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The idea behind this PhD project is to explore Ensemble Visualizations to answer that research question. Ensemble Visualizations do not just show one analysis result, but multiple, so as to provide an overview of the diversity of possible results in the spirit of What-If analyses or Multiverse analyses. To that end, this PhD project will look into how to generate, visualize, interactively manage, and gain insight from dozens, potentially hundreds of progressively refining parallel streams of analysis results.

10. Fully Funded PhD in Energy Lives! Infrastructural Citizenship in Nordic Energy Transitions Subproject: Citizens for District Heating in Denmark
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The project is a cooperation of researchers in Norway (coordinators), Sweden and Denmark funded by Nordforsk. The Danish subproject covers the history and governance of district heating in Denmark with a particular focus on how Nordic stakeholders and citizens transitioned from heating with coal and oil to district heating (DH) with a mix of increasingly sustainable energy carriers. Contrary to common representations, the project explores the idea that DH infrastructures were not merely top-down projects with passive citizens. Many local questions needed to be answered and problems solved. The project argues that citizens played a pivotal role, as their willingness to transition from controlling their own heating systems to relying on a centralized infrastructure for heat distribution was crucial.

12. Fully Funded PhD in Cracking the code of FoxO3 transcription regulation by phosphorylation
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Are you excited to contribute to the molecular understanding of the human longevity factor FoxO3? Then apply to a 3-year PhD student position in the Viennet lab at iNANO. The project aims at deciphering the mechanisms underlying the regulation of FoxO3 by phosphorylation. FoxO3 is a transcription factor that is critical to maintain the well-being of cells undergoing stress and aging. As such, it must bind specific sites on DNA to activate to transcription of certain genes in response to stress-induced signals. These signals are conveyed by phosphorylation of cascades of proteins, and ultimately of FoxO3 itself. However, the outcome of phosphorylation on FoxO3 molecular behaviour is unknown.
