About this position
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Chemistry programme. The project is titled “At the border between old and new: cement lines in bone” and is hosted in the group of Professor Henrik Birkedal at the Department of Chemistry.
This PhD project focuses on bone, cement lines, biomaterials, synchrotron imaging, X-ray fluorescence, spectroscopy, tomography, collagen, mineral phases, and the mechanical behaviour of biological materials. The research aims to understand how cement lines differ from surrounding bone and how they contribute to continuous skeletal remodeling. Methods may include advanced synchrotron multimodal imaging, 2D and 3D imaging, ptychography, texture tomography, and in situ mechanical investigations.
The position is suitable for candidates interested in the interface of chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science, especially those with experience in Python scripting, data analysis, synchrotron experiments, bone science, or biomineralization.
Eligibility: Applicants must hold a relevant Master’s degree or have completed at least one year of a Master’s degree in chemistry, physics, biophysics, nanoscience, biology, or a related subject.
Funding: The post is a PhD fellowship/scholarship with salary and employment terms according to the applicable collective agreement. No specific stipend amount is stated.
Application window: The online application system opens on 1 June 2026. The deadline is 1 August 2026 at 23:59 CEST. Applicants must upload a project description; for this specific project, the post instructs applicants to copy the project description into a PDF and upload it in the application. When applying, choose the August 2026 Call, select the Chemistry programme, and enter the study title “At the border between old and new: cement lines in bone (bboncl)”.
