København N

PhD fellow in Plant Molecular Biology
Department of Biology
Faculty of Science
University of Copenhagen


Department of Biology, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in Molecular Biology commencing 01.11.2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Description of the scientific environment

The Department of Biology is based on a legacy of outstanding researchers and is today one of the largest institutes at the University of Copenhagen. The institute has a very unique research and study environment with strong basic research and versatile education in biology, biochemistry, molecular biomedicine and bioinformatics. Within the department of Biology, the PhD student will be integrated in the section for Functional Genomics, in which we use multiple model species (archea, plants, yeast and vertebrate cell lines) to understand the expression, regulation and propagation of genomes.

Project description
Plants are regeneration champions, and this has been exploited for centuries in agriculture. At the base of this regenerative capacity stands a process called cellular reprogramming, in which somatic cells can be induced into pluripotency and form organs. We are looking for a dedicated PhD student to investigate the scientific basis for the development of novel ways to stimulate regeneration and exploit this to enhance plant productivity. Special emphasis of the project will be given to a) the impact of cellular recycling mechanisms in regeneration; b) plant probiotics as a mean to improve regeneration efficiency.

Scholarship and terms of employmentfor integrated MSc and PhD

PhD grant portions (Ph.D.SU klip)

In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme (up to three years), the student is entitled to so-called PhD grant portions. The grant portions are financed by the grant donor but not by the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme Agency (as is the case for the ordinary study grant portions on the BSc and MSc programmes). They are called PhD grant portions because this kind of remuneration is regulated and described in the Executive Order on the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme in Denmark (SUbekendtgørelsen), and because the value of a PhD grant portion corresponds to the value of an ordinary Danish study grant portion. Students are awarded 48 PhD grant portions during the period of their MSc and PhD studies.

48 PhD grant portions at DKK 6,243 each, corresponding to DKK 299,664 (approx. €39,955).

'Duty work'

As a supplement to the PhD grant portions, the student may, in accordance with the collective agreement of the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC), be offered 'duty work'. In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme, students performing 'duty work' are paid by the hour. UCPH has decided to offer students on integrated MSc and PhD schemes 150 hours of 'duty work' per year during Part A of the programme (until two years of the combined programme of study remain). 'Duty work' during Part A if it has a duration of three years: 450 hours at a rate of DKK 221.34 (+ 12.5% holiday pay), corresponding to DKK 112,052 (approx. €14,940)

For further information about Part A please see: https://www.science.ku.dk/phd/studystructure/integratedphd/

Salary in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional

Associations (AC)

In the period after the completion of the MSc programme, the student is employed as a PhD scholar and is remunerated in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The scheme is arranged in such a way that students graduate from the MSc programme at a time when there are two years left of the integrated programme. For this reason, the salary must be paid for a period of two years in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The amounts specified include a supplement locally agreed upon as well as pension contributions: Salary as a PhD scholar: 24 months at a rate of DKK 32,304 (including pension contributions and supplement), corresponding to DKK 775,311 (approx. €103,374).
