The University of Copenhagen is offering a three-year PhD fellowship in cerebral interoception at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine. The project is based in the Kaag Rasmussen lab within the Division of Pain Volume Transmission and explores how sensory information from the meninges contributes to headache and pain. The PhD researcher will characterize the functional and molecular properties of sensory neurons projecting to the dura mater and pia mater. The project will identify which ne...

About this position

The Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD fellowship in cerebral interoception within the Kaag Rasmussen lab, part of the Division of Pain Volume Transmission. The center is an interdisciplinary research environment with multiple labs, international collaborators, modern laboratories, and state-of-the-art equipment, and it focuses on new approaches for examining and treating neurological diseases using physiology, imaging, cell therapy, and gene therapy.

The project centers on the functional and molecular characterization of meningeal sensory neurons. The PhD student will investigate sensory neurons that project to the dura mater and pia mater, with the goal of identifying which neuronal subtypes are involved in headache-related signaling and how they differ in their sensory responsiveness and molecular identity. The work aims to define subclasses of meningeal sensory projection neurons and discover molecular targets that may inform future headache therapeutics.

The student will work in an in vivo neuroscience lab focused on pain signalling and will use transgenic animal models, behaviour-based assays, in vivo imaging, and omics technologies. The project also combines fluorophore-based activity readouts with single-cell transcriptomics to map neuronal function alongside molecular profiles. The broader research program at the center emphasizes neural and glial cell replacement in the adult brain and spinal cord as a route toward disease modeling and therapeutic repair.

As a PhD student, the successful candidate will contribute to an independent research project under supervision, take part in the active research environment at the center, and engage in teaching and dissemination activities tied to the project.

Funding details

Salary, pension, and terms of employment follow the Danish agreement for academics in the state; monthly salary starts at approximately 31,800 DKK (roughly 4,250 EUR, August 2026 level) plus pension.

What's required

Applicants must hold a relevant academic degree within the project subject area. For Danish educations, admission requires a relevant master’s degree equivalent to 180 ECTS BSc + 120 ECTS MSc. For international educations, applicants must have a degree equivalent to a Danish master’s degree, or at minimum a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree and be academically qualified at master’s level. Selection also considers academic evaluation, grade point average, relevant professional qualifications, previous publications, relevant work experience, other professional activities, a curious mindset, a strong interest in pain and headache as well as basic neuroscience, and language skills.

How to apply

Apply electronically via the provided Apply now link. Submit a motivated letter, CV, certified degree documents or transcript if applicable, and a publication list if possible. Ensure the application is complete before the deadline and note that further assessment may require additional educational evaluation.
