About this position

Lundbeck Brain Battle 2027 is an industrial PhD opportunity based at H. Lundbeck A/S for highly motivated MSc candidates interested in neuroscience, brain health, and drug discovery. The successful candidate will join a research environment that brings together company scientists, students, and technicians, working in association with a Danish university on studies aimed at discovering new treatments for central nervous system diseases.

The programme includes three competing PhD project directions. One project will integrate human neuro-omics data with experimental studies to explore the biology and therapeutic potential of orphan GPCRs in neurological and psychiatric disorders. A second project will build humanized Huntington’s disease models using patient-derived iPSC neurons, both in vitro and after transplantation into the rat brain, to connect drug exposure and target engagement with human-specific disease mechanisms and support RNA therapeutic development. A third project will use Neuropixels recordings to investigate how abnormal neuronal activity in cerebellar circuits contributes to tremor and ataxia, with the aim of identifying disease-relevant biomarkers and new therapeutic opportunities for movement disorders.

The PhD student will work closely with researchers across Lundbeck and the partner university, independently driving the chosen project while presenting results at internal and external meetings and contributing to scientific papers and the final thesis. The position is designed to combine research with professional scientific communication, as finalists prepare to explain their work to a broad audience at the Brain Battle finale.

Overall, this is a competitive, fully funded industrial PhD focused on neuroscience research with a strong translational and drug discovery orientation.

Funding details

Fully funded 3-year industrial PhD project by Lundbeck.

What's required

Applicants must be MSc students or recent graduates with a thesis degree in the broad field of Neuroscience, meet the requirements for enrolment as a PhD student at a Danish university, and be able to start the PhD no later than December 2027. Candidates should be passionate about neuroscience, drug development and scientific communication, able to attend an interview in February or March 2027, presentation training on 8 and 22 April 2027, and the finale on 29 April 2027 in Valby, Denmark. They should be able to work independently, plan and report on experiments, collaborate well, seek guidance when needed, have a positive mindset, and be fluent in written and spoken English.

How to apply

Submit a one-page motivation letter together with your CV, grade transcript, and letters of recommendation. Selected candidates will be invited to interview, and finalists will give a short scientific communication presentation at the Brain Battle finale.
