About this position

Two PhD Opportunities in Retinal Metabolism
I am announcing two fully funded PhD positions on retinal metabolism, available from August 2025 or later at Zoophysiology at Aarhus University.

Position 1: Retinal Antioxidant Defense in Zebrafish
Fish have a unique way of supplying oxygen to the light-sensitive retina, where photoreceptors experience oxygen and proton levels up to ten times higher than in the rest of the central nervous system. This extreme environment generates high levels of reactive oxygen species that would be lethal to most cells. In this project, the candidate will use the zebrafish retina as a model to uncover the molecular, mitochondrial, and cellular mechanisms that enable antioxidant defense in these extreme conditions. The project offers hands-on experience with state-of-the-art techniques for measuring reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant responses in both isolated mitochondria and in vivo.

Position 2: Glucose and Lactic Acid Metabolism in the Bird Retina
The bird retina is an exceptionally metabolically active tissue yet lacks the internal blood vessels that typically supply oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products. This project seeks to identify the adaptive mechanisms that enable nutrient and gas exchange in an avascular neural tissue. The successful candidate will work with in vivo oxygen measurements, spatial omics, and radiolabelled metabolite techniques to elucidate how intra-retinal metabolite shuttling supports energy homeostasis.
