PhD Positions in Neuropsychology in Denmark

The University of Copenhagen is offering a three-year PhD position in human studies of how gut hormones affect insulin sensitivity and brain activity. The project is based in the Department of Biomedicine and is conducted in collaboration with the Center for Clinical Metabolic Research at Gentofte Hospital and the Department of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine and PET at Rigshospitalet. The PhD researcher will run clinical and pathophysiological trials involving hormone infusions, glucose c...

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 ...

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...

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 directio...

This PhD project is based at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen , and is embedded in a translational research environment linking the Panum Institute with clinical partners at Gentofte Hospital and Rigshospitalet . The project focuses on how gut hormones influence insulin sensitivity and brain activity in human participants. The successful candidate will carry out clinical, pathophysiological studies using hormone infusions , glucose-clamp techniques , and MRI scans ...

This doctoral position is based at Rigshospitalet , in the Department of Clinical Physiology and Nuclear Medicine within the Centre of Diagnostic Investigations . The PhD student will be part of the DEPICT AI and image analysis section and work in an ambitious clinical research environment alongside computer scientists, physicists, and medical doctors. The project focuses on abnormality detection in PET and MRI using deep learning methods to synthesise PET uptake from non-PET images. The student...

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...

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...

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...
