PhD and Postdoc Positions in Anthropology in Denmark

The University of Copenhagen invites applications for a three-year PhD scholarship in the project “Exploring the bases of individual differences in face recognition” , funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. The project investigates why face-recognition ability varies across a large, representative sample of the Danish population and how this variation relates to other measures of cognition. The PhD project will focus on relating individual differences in face recognition to indicators ...

The University of Copenhagen’s Globe Institute is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance mass-spectrometry-based palaeoproteomics. The project targets ancient protein traces preserved in fossil material, including remains more than one million years old, with the goal of recovering longer and higher-quality amino-acid sequences for improved phylogenetic reconstruction of extinct hominids and other fossil taxa. The postdoc will develop novel workflows spanning sample preparation, chromatogr...

This PhD scholarship at DTU Health Tech focuses on understanding how cochlear vascular and sensorineural pathology develops and changes in ageing and systemic disease. The project studies the cochlea in healthy ageing and in age-related conditions such as dementia and metabolic syndrome, using rodent models to connect tissue-level changes with auditory function and broader disease markers. The research is method-driven and centred on the development of preclinical immunolabelling , tissue cleari...

This scholarship supports Danish citizens with close ties to Denmark who are pursuing a Master’s degree in the United States, usually at the Harvard Kennedy School and in some cases at another comparable Ivy League university. It is designed for study in public policy or public administration and is administered by the Danish-American Fulbright Commission. The award can support either a one-year or a full two-year master’s programme. The one-year option is intended for experienced professionals,...

The Section on Human-Centred Computing at the University of Copenhagen is inviting applicants for one or two PhD fellowships in Human-Computer Interaction as part of the Villum Investigator project TRACTION: Theoretical Research in Human-Computer Interaction . The project is awarded to Professor Kasper Hornbæk , and the fellowships sit within a research effort focused on theory-driven work on interactive systems. The project asks how theory can be used to better understand, evaluate, and design ...

Aalborg University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the AF-EMPOWER project, which focuses on digital education and empowerment for patients living with atrial fibrillation (AF) and related comorbidities. AF is a common cardiovascular condition frequently associated with hypertension, heart failure, obesity, diabetes and sleep disorders. The project responds to patients' need for a better understanding of their condition and its management, while also addressing the psychological impact o...

Aalborg University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence , focused on safeguarding users’ cognitive autonomy in human-AI interaction. The project examines how increasing reliance on AI recommendations can affect people’s independent reasoning and decision-making. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate when users’ cognitive autonomy is at risk and how timely digital interventions can support independent thi...

DTU Health Tech at the Technical University of Denmark is advertising research opportunities connected with human health and society. The PhD project focuses on 3D cochlear histopathology in ageing and systemic disease , addressing structural and disease-related changes in the cochlea through three-dimensional histopathological research. This opportunity is associated with the department’s hearing-systems research environment. A separate postdoctoral opening concerns technology-supported home-ba...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Department of Anthropology, School of Culture and Society, Faculty of Arts, Aarhus University, and is tied to the research project “Stories from my new life: Mobile transitions and social becomings among resettled refugees in Denmark” (TRANSIT) . The project focuses on the lives of resettled refugees, with particular attention to the legal, social, and existential transitions that accompany resettlement. TRANSIT is built around the resettlement of appro...
