1. Fully Funded PhD Programs in non-canonical functions of antibodies in neurological and psychiatric conditions
Summary of PhD Project
While immunoglobulins constitute an active player, in the body’s protection against disease, by binding to, and clearance of, antigens, viral and other pathogens; this PhD project will focus on studying potential other functions of immunoglobulins. More than 75 years ago Linus Pauling hypothesized that immunoglobulins could possess enzymatic activities. Although some studies have reported hydrolytic activities of immunoglobulins isolated from patients suffering from a diverse array of diseases, no clear understanding of the importance of these activities is currently available.

2. Fully Funded PhD Programs in glass mechanics
Summary of PhD Project
A PhD stipend is available in the field of mechanical properties of glasses. The brittleness and low fracture toughness of various glass materials, including oxide and metal-organic framework glasses, remains to be their main disadvantage. The planned research will focus on characterizing and understanding the structural origins of the difference in deformation mechanisms across different glass compositions and testing conditions. This will include the use of nano-indentation testing under varying indenter tip geometry, strain rates and atmospheric humidity. In situ characterization of indentation deformation using electron microscopy will also be a focal point.

3. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Explainability in Asylum Decision-Making
Summary of PhD Project
The position is based on the fact that despite decades of EU harmonization and growing international jurisprudence, the opportunity of receiving asylum for people from the same country or groups still varies significantly across the Nordic and European countries. These variations have led to repeated accusations describing legal decision-making as an “asylum lottery”. As AI-supported decision-making becomes embedded in such systems, there is a concern that inherent bias in data will be replicated.

4. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Genetic and Pharmacological Modulation of Calmodulin and Calcium Signaling
Summary of PhD Project
You will be using the model organism C. elegans to study genetic mutations in the human Calmodulin gene as well as pharmacological interventions that impact the function of calmodulin. You will use CRISPR/Cas9 combined with classical genetics as a central part of your study. In addition, you will be developing drug screening strategies for identifying new compounds that can modulate the function of calmodulin. You will determine the impact on calcium signaling and cellular processes, including but not limited to neuronal function. You will be involved with teaching and supervising students following the problem based learning (PBL) model used at AAU.

5. Fully Funded PhD Programs in social work with families and children with disabilities
Summary of PhD Project
The project focus on social work with families focusing on families with a child with Autism or under observation for Autism in the cross section between the ordinary school system and the specialized support. The investigates what kind of knowledge, and discursive meaning on disability that is unfolded and negotiated during encounters between families, schools and the Danish welfare system and how this shape the help given and the families’ well-being and opportunities for social participation. The aim of the project is to produce in-depth knowledge on how discourses on disability unfold and vary in the practice of frontline professionals, how they are negotiated between the frontline professional and families and how this affects the help given to these families.

6. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Muscle Neuromechanics and Ultrasound Imaging
Summary of PhD Project
The PhD project will be part of the ECHO-EMG research initiative, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF). The project aims to develop a novel system that combines high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) and ultrafast ultrasound imaging (UUS) to assess muscle function in individuals with Type II Diabetes Mellitus and related neuromuscular disorders. The integration of these two modalities is expected to overcome limitations of current EMG-based techniques, particularly in dynamic movement tasks.
