3. Fully Funded PhD Position in DelibRef

Summary of PhD Program:

DelibRef focuses on the impact of referendums on representative government at both local and national level in different countries. The project involves a small team, including the principal investigator Davide Morisi, a Postdoctoral fellow, a PhD candidate, and student assistants. The PhD position will be related to the entire project, with a particular focus on Subproject 1.

The main question driving DelibRef is how can referendums benefit representative government from a citizen perspective? The project addresses this question by focusing on deliberative referendums, a key innovation that so far has been mostly confined to theoretical debate. Deliberative referendums combine the benefits of deliberation with the powerful voting device of referendums, making them a scalable intervention with potentially large societal impact.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Pain, post-traumatic symptoms and sexual assault

Summary of PhD Program:

The project “Pain, post-traumatic symptoms and sexual assault” is supported by the Council for the Victims’ Fund and is carried out in collaboration with the Center for Rape Victims; OUH, Center for Rape Victims, Lillebælt Hospital and Pain Center South, OUH. Chronic pain is a major health problem. Pain can occur after a traumatic experience and a high symptom overlap between chronic pain and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSD) has been documented. The risk of developing PTSD is particularly high after sexual assault, which is why there is probably a significant vulnerability or maintaining factor between pain and PTSD after sexual assault. In the ICD-11 diagnosis system, a distinction is made between PTSD and complex PTSD (KPTSD).

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in physiology of microbial key players exposed to oxygen depletion

Summary of PhD Program:

A 3-year PhD position is available at Nordcee, Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark in environmental microbiology. In this project you will study the physiology of microbial key players of global element cycles when exposed to oxygen depletion. Aquatic oxygen-depleted environments are hotspots of microbial activity, including microbial processes that are sources or sinks of greenhouse gases. For example, aerobic methanotrophic and ammonia-oxidizing microbes are frequently found in such oxygen-deficient environments, even though they require molecular oxygen for their metabolism. While ammonia-oxidizers can produce traces of oxygen in the dark via NO-dismutation themselves, aerobic methanotrophs rely on an external source of oxygen. However, their lower limits regarding oxygen requirements are largely unknown.
