Project Description: One or more PhD positions are available at the Center for Quantum Devices - Station Q Copenhagen to develop a logical, error-correcting spin qubit in semiconductor heterostructures. Research involves experimental design, fabrication of submicron devices and associated electronics, radio-frequency measurement in a dilution refrigerator, data analysis, and scientific writing. Candidate should have strong background in physics at the master level (or undergraduate degree from US) with advanced coursework in quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics, as well as ...

Postdoc position within epigenetic regulation of plant resistance Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science University of Copenhagen A 2-year postdoctoral fellowship is available at DynaMo Center ( www.dynamo.ku.dk), a Center of Excellence within plant biology financed by the Danish National Research Foundation. The position commences 1 March 2016 or upon agreement. At the DynaMo Center, our goal is to understand at the molecular level how a multicellular organism mounts a response and adjust to its ever-changing internal and external environment. As model system, we ...

The group and our research Research in the Porse group is focused on elucidating mechanisms governing normal and malignant hematopoiesis with special emphasis on the behaviour of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during adult hematopoiesis and leukemic stem cells (LSCs) in acute myeloid leukemia. To this end, we employ mouse models of human AML, mouse knock-out lines of putative HSC/LSC regulators, primary patient material and a broad range of bioinformatics tools. We have also conducted a number of shRNA-based in vivo screens for genes involved in tumor maintenance and identified a number of ...

A PhD position is available in the group of Jan Rossmeisl in the group of theoretical catalysis, Nano-Science Center, Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. Project description: The project is a part of an international collaboration involving companies and university. The goal is to develop materials for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to chemicals. The work on University of Copenhagen is computational, applying and developing state of the art electronic structure simulations tools and analysis. There will be a close collaboration with the experimental and industrial partners in ...

A new International Training Network (ITN) has just been granted by the Marie Curie Program of the European Commission (EC) for Science, in a 4 year project called Metal-Aid. It is to be coordinated by the NanoGeoScience research group at the University of Copenhagen so we are searching for a Project Manager with extensive experience in running Marie Curie Training Networks. Metal-Aid is part of Horizon 2020. Its goal is to train 14 early stage research fellows (ESR) throughout Europe. The 11 partners include 6 research institutions, 4 consulting engineering firms and 1 government agency from ...

The NanoGeoScience group applies nanotechniques to investigate the interactions between fluids (water, oil, gas) and natural materials in soil, sediments and rocks and then uses the new, fundamental understanding to solve some of society’s problems, such as ensuring clean water, safer storage of waste, more oil from spent reservoirs, converting CO2 back to rocks and revealing the secrets of biomineralisation, i.e. how organisms make minerals, such as bones, teeth and shells. We are about 50 researchers and support staff working together in a dynamic, international and interdisciplinary ...
