International Doctoral Positions

PhD in Human-Computer Interaction and Information Visualization 

The PhD student will be working in the BIOPRO2 research center (BIO-based PROduction: TOwards the next generation of optimized and sustainable processes,http://biopro.nu). The scholarship is funded by Innovation Fund Denmark and will be carried out at the Human-Centered Computing Section at DIKU in collaboration with Technical University of Denmark, University of Copenhagen,


PhD scholarship in Online Learning

The PhD candidate will work under supervision of Assistant Professor Yevgeny Seldin on theoretical problems in online learning. The primary goal is to derive algorithms that interpolate between various online learning settings.

PhD scholarship in Modeling of Mobile Internet User Experience

The PhD student will be working in the Human-Centered Computing (HCC) section. The PhD scholarship will be carried out at DIKU in formal collaboration with the Center of Informatics, University of Geneva (Switzerland), Carnegie Mellon University (US), Stanford University (US) and several partners in the Copenhagen area,

The PhD student will be working in the Image Section at DIKU and be part of the Centre for Stochastic Geometry and Advanced Bioimaging (CSGB, http://csgb.dk). The focus of the PhD position will be on modeling and statistical analysis of shape change that occurs for example when the anatomical structure of brains evolve as a result …
PhD scholarship is offered within the areas of DIKU’s research sections: Algorithms and Programming Languages (APL). The APL section does research in a wide range of areas related to algorithms, programming languages and systems. It covers theoretical and practical aspects of: foundations of computin

The Center for Quantum Devices at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, announces the opening of a PhD position to develop nanowire crystal based materials for superconductor-semiconductor hybrid electronic structures. The project work will involve bottom-up nano-structured crystal growth, top-down device fabrication, and structural and electronic

The successful candidate must hold a relevant MSc degree. Experience with in vivo models, bone biology or chronic pain research will be an advantage. Solid level of English and good general communication skills are an advantage.


On the official University of Copenhagen application submissions page, find the entry with a deadline date of 08/03/15 that says “PhD Scolarships” and click. At the bottom of that page, click on the link that says “APPLY NOW”. There are many boxes in the application form that are not relevant for your application so do not fill them out. Instead, write “NA – not applicable”.

The projects is the “Role of epigenetic inheritance in rapid evolutionary adaptation of invasive plants“.Applicants should have a deep interest in plant invasions, plant evolutionary ecology and evolution and hold a Master degree (or equivalent) in the relevant research fields (e.g. plant ecology, evolution). Applicants are expected to have relevant laboratory experience, and an interest in the design and analysis of ecological experiments.

A combination of simulation techniques will be used, including classical molecular dynamics, structure optimisation, statistical mechanics approaches for calculating free energies, and ab initio quantum mechanical calculations with Density Functional Theory (DFT). Most importantly, the DFT calculations will be performed at unprecedentedly large scales, on entire nanostructures consisting of thousands of atoms by using the ONETEP linear-scaling DFT program. The use of full quantum mechanical models is essential for quantitative (and sometimes even qualitative) understanding of electronic polarization and charge transfer which are ubiquitous in chemical processes.
