A 2.5-year position as Postdoctoral Researcher within the field of Freshwater Ecology is available at the Department of Ecoscience, Aarhus University. The expected start date is 1st of September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position seeks to strengthen and complement the Department’s ongoing activities in freshwater ecology, particularly aquatic ecosystem modelling and water quality modelling, with focus on Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning. The position is a rewarding opportunity to be integrated in an excellent freshwater group. The department’s research and advisory activities are project-based with a solid tradition in cross-disciplinary research and international collaboration. Job description The postdoctoral researcher will work with Dr. Robert Ladwig on developing hybrid models that integrate limnological knowledge into machine learning models following the paradigm of Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning (KGML). The position is part of an on-going project on “Integrating AI into Aquatic Ecosystem Models to Decode Ecological Complexity” funded by Villum Fonden. Within that project, the focus is on exploring novel ways to infer information from environmental data to update our scientific conceptual models. The data foundation will come from the long-term lake monitoring initiative LTER-DK, which includes several Danish lakes equipped with real-time and high-frequency monitoring buoys, incl. Lake Ravn near Aarhus. The monitoring at Lake Ravn consists of three monitoring buoys, an automatic profiling station, and a weather station. Further, weekly water quality sampling and turbulence profiles provide additional data for training and testing. A specific aim is to further develop the methodology of modular compositional learning (MCL). Here, an aquatic ecosystem model is decomposed into modular sub-components that can be either process-based models and/or deep learning models. MCL has the flexibility to replace any uncertain process description with a deep learning model, which makes it ideal for ecological simulations where precise mathematical descriptions of key processes are lacking but data for training are available. The MCL methodology will be applied on critical ecological processes, i.e., vertical turbulent diffusion, phytoplankton production and consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, etc., to develop hybrid models. Performance will be compared to several 1D aquatic ecosystem models to evaluate if the respective hybrid MCL models are improving their performance. The overall project aim is on refining current aquatic ecosystem models by building models based on KGML to have improved projections and more robust estimates of uncertainty. The project provides training and growth opportunities in AI. Candidates who have strong interest in machine learning, but minimal experience, are encouraged to apply. Along the same lines, candidates with a strong foundation in machine learning, minimal experience in freshwater ecology, but a strong interest to develop models for environmental challenges, are also encouraged to apply. The postdoctoral researcher will work within an interdisciplinary team of computational and applied scientists. The work will be done in close collaboration with international and interdisciplinary colleagues. There will be close collaborations with colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Virginia Tech (USA). In the Computational Limnology team at the Freshwater Ecology section at Aarhus University, we are striving to have a diverse, fair and inclusive team and work environment. Team members are supporting each other and help when we see someone physically or mentally struggling. We work respectfully with people from different backgrounds, experiences and nationalities. To collaborate more efficiently and ensure reproducibility, we implement the principles of open data and open science. Your profile The ideal candidate should have: A PhD in environmental engineering, ecology, environmental science, biology, data science, computer science, or a closely related field Knowledge of freshwater ecology and/or physical limnology Experience with numerical modelling Experience with programming languages, esp. Python, and familiarity in NumPy, SciPy and Pandas Experience with scientific programming Experience with scientific writing Excellent written and spoken English Interest in deep learning and Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning Interest in scikit-learn, PyTorch and TensorFlow Personal qualifications required include the ability to work closely with other researchers/groups within the Department as well as with external end users, and the ability to collaborate and build relationships.

SurfLab at Aarhus University seeks to hire a postdoc to explore protein misfolding and structural heterogeneity in complex biological samples using 2D-infrared spectroscopy. Protein aggregates play a central role in several human diseases, yet their structural diversity remains poorly understood. In this project, you will apply ultrafast 2D-infrared spectroscopy to investigate molecular signatures in biologically and clinically relevant samples for a deeper understanding of protein structure/function relationships in health and disease. The starting date is May 1, 2026 and the duration of the employment will be 24 months. The place of work is Langelandsgade 140, 8000 Aarhus C, and the area of employment is the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University and related departments. Job description/research project/research area A postdoc in our team will investigate the structural complexity of protein aggregates using advanced ultrafast spectroscopies. Jointly, the Clinical Neuroanatomy and Biobanking (CNAB) at Amsterdam UMC and Surflab at Aarhus University have recently developed new approaches combining two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy and biomedical sampling techniques to probe protein structure in complex biological and medical environments. This opens up opportunities to tackle fundamental questions such as: (1) Can subtle structural differences between aggregates and disease stages and type be resolved spectroscopically? And (2) What molecular signatures correlate with neuropathology? Answers to these questions will contribute to our understanding of protein misfolding and aggregation in biomedically relevant settings, with implications for early diagnostics and, in the future, possible disease prevention. Researchers in our group benefit from state-of-the-art femtosecond laser systems and a vibrant interdisciplinary community at Aarhus University, including collaborators in biophysics, neurodegeneration, spectroscopy, and computational modeling. You would join a dynamic research environment with an emphasis on international collaboration. Your profile Applicants across the disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology are considered for this position.

The research project Acts and policies that interfere with people, without their consent, and are meant to promote their interests or wellbeing are paternalistic. Examples of policies that have been described as paternalistic include smoking policies or the policy of earmarked paternity leave. While paternalism has the potential to significantly benefit people, it is also criticized, e.g., for disrespecting people’s autonomy. An important but under-examined aspect of paternalistic policies is that they often target disadvantaged groups or affect groups differently. While such efforts potentially promote equality, including labour market and health equality, policies that target or affect groups differently raise concerns about discrimination. The project illuminates the challenges of combatting inequalities between different groups in society while catering to the morally significant concerns of avoiding wrongful paternalism and discrimination. Specifically, while paternalistic discrimination seems to cater to a concern of (i) protecting people equally, it may fail to accommodate a second moral concern of (ii) respecting people equally. Based on this dilemma, the project’s research question asks how the wrong of paternalistic discrimination may potentially be alleviated. The project consists of two work packages. WP1 approaches the research question through the lens of analytical political philosophy. It will suggest and examine factors that intensify or temper the wrongness of paternalistic discrimination. Examples of potential factors include i) the direct/indirect nature of the discrimination in question, ii) the nature of the harm prevented, or iii) the well-being level of the intended beneficiary. WP2 responds to the research question through the frameworks of experimental philosophy. Using vignette-based survey-experiments, it studies whether the attitudes to paternalistic discrimination of lay people from the US and Denmark align with the philosophical view suggested in WP1. That is, WP2 surveys whether the factors identified in WP1 affect lay people’s moral evaluation of paternalistic discrimination. The project is funded by the DFF-Research Project1 and runs from December 2025 until November 2028. The research team consists of the PI, Associate Professor Viki Lyngby Hvid, and the postdoc. Moreover, the project collaborates with CEPDISC, the centre of excellence devoted the experimental philosophical study of discrimination, Department of Political Science, Aarhus University, headed by Professor Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen. The collaboration involves that the postdoc will be invited to participate and present their work at CEPDISC conferences, workshops, seminars, and other internal research events. Job description The postdoctoral researcher is expected to engage in collaborative research with Associate Professor Viki Lyngby Hvid. While the research team will collaborate across the project’s two work packages, the postdoc is envisioned a leading role in designing, conducting and publishing the studies in the experimental philosophical part of the project (WP2). Accordingly, the methodological emphasis of the position is on quantitative experimental methods. Moreover, the postdoc is expected to support project-related organizational and administrative tasks. There are excellent opportunities to pursue independent, sole-authored work within the overall focus of the project. The project offers funding for data collection and participation in international workshops and conferences. In addition to close collaboration and sparing in the research team, the department – not least CEPDISC – offers excellent opportunities to develop as a researcher in a vibrant, supportive and professional environment—and to cooperate with colleagues on both the discrimination and paternalism theories and experimental-philosophical analyses. The position entails teaching obligations equivalent to one course per year. Salary is according to the Danish pay schedule. Your qualifications Applicants are expected to hold (or be close to completing) a PhD in a field relevant to the project. According to the conditions of the Independent Research Fund Denmark, no more than 4 years have passed between obtaining the PhD degree and April 29, 2025 (taking into account any periods of leave). Applicants from various disciplines, e.g., experimental philosophy, philosophy, political and social psychology, are encouraged to apply. Applicants are expected to demonstrate the following qualifications: Experience with designing, conducting, and analysing survey experiments independently. A track record of experimental-philosophical research projects. Professional interest in and knowledge of the philosophical literatures on paternalism, discrimination or related topics.
