We invite applications for a PhD position in computational biophysics. The research aim is to use different computer simulations to understand how the shape of mitochondrial membranes emerges. The project is part of a synergy research project entitled “SEECLEAR – Wood formation in near-real time”, which is financed by Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Start date is (expected to be) first of September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Application deadline:

The deadline for applications is 30th, March, 2024, 23:59 GMT +1.

Please include:

  1. Motivated letter (max. one page);
  2. Curriculum vitae including information about your education, experience, language skills and other skills relevant for the position.
  3. Original diplomas for Bachelor of Science or Master of Science and transcript of records in the original language, including an authorized English translation if issued in another language than English or Danish. If not completed, a certified/signed copy of a recent transcript of records or a written statement from the institution or supervisor is accepted.
  4. Publication list (if any)
  5. Reference letters (if available)

The project

Wood constitutes an unlimited resource of renewable biomass indispensable for production of sustainable energy and for supply of high quality materials. Molecular understanding of wood formation would provide a new avenue for designing bio-inspired materials with remarkable strength and rigidity. Wood consists of so called secondary cell walls that encase cells in wood forming plant tissues. A critical step in the wood forming process involves the cessation of primary wall synthesis (a wall structure that surrounds growing cells) and initiation of secondary cell wall synthesis. Here, we seek to elucidate the biomolecular and structural cell wall changes that take place during wood formation. In the theortical phase of the project, we integrate experimental and high resolution simulation data into mesoscopic simulations and aim to understand the biomechanical properties of secondary cell walls.

Who are we looking for?

A PhD candidate should have a background in physics, chemistry, biology, bioinformatics, or related fields. It is considered a strength to have knowledge of molecular dynamics simulations, and computer programming.

The PhD programme

A three year full-time study within the framework of the regular PhD programme (5+3 scheme), if you already have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master’s degree.

Getting into a position on the regular PhD programme

For information of eligibility of completed programs, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.

Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.

Employment is conditional upon your successful enrollment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.
