A PhD fellowship is available in the Center for Chromosome Stability (CCS) (www.ccs.ku.dk) in a group headed by Assoc. Prof. Thomas Miller. The post is available from 1st June, 2024, or after agreement. Highly motivated and committed candidates with an interest in eukaryotic DNA replication, DNA damage repair, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) or single-molecule studies are encouraged to apply. The post is fully funded, although the post-holder will be encouraged to seek a personal fellowship to support their PhD stipend.

The Center for Chromosome Stability
The CCS is a Center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF) and its mission is to advance our understanding of how chromosomal instability causes human disease. The CCS is embedded at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (https://icmm.ku.dk/english/). The working language in the CCS is English.

Our group and research
The Miller group (https://icmm.ku.dk/english/research-groups/miller-group/) aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that maintain eukaryotic genome stability during DNA replication using a combination of genetic, biochemical, single-molecule and structural techniques, including cryo-EM. The research in the Miller group is generously supported by a Novo Nordisk Foundation Hallas-Møller Emerging Investigator grant, the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF) and the Carlsberg Foundation.

Project description 
Genome instability is a hallmark of inherited human disorders and age-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Eukaryotic genomes are replicated by complex molecular machines called replisomes, which frequently encounter naturally occurring ‘obstacles’ that can prevent faithful DNA replication and induce genome instability. Covalent DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) are one such obstacle and are estimated to occur at thousands of sites/genome/day in proliferating cells. Eukaryotic cells require multiple mechanisms to overcome DPCs, including replication-coupled proteolysis (‘DPC repair’). 

The Miller laboratory aims to determine the molecular mechanisms by which the replication machinery can overcome obstacles on eukaryotic chromosomes that might otherwise prevent replication fork progression. Multiple projects are currently available in the group and can be tailored to fit the experience and interests of the recruited individual. 

The recruited researcher will benefit from access to cutting-edge biochemistry, computational and single-molecule infrastructure at the Center for Chromosome Stability (incl. state-of-the-art C-Trap optical tweezers) and electron microscopy facilities at the Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy (CFIM; www.cfim.ku.dk), which houses Copenhagen’s node of the Danish Cryo-EM Facility.

 PhD fellowship in Daphnia adaptation

Department of Biology
Faculty of SCIENCE

University of Copenhagen

The Department of Biology invites applicants for a PhD fellowship on adaptation of Daphnia to salinization through space and time.

Start date is (expected to be) 01.09.2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

In the Anthropocene freshwater ecosystems are faced with a number of challenges. Salinization of freshwater ecosystems is an emerging threat worldwide. Chloride concentrations are increasing in lakes, due to run-off from sodium chloride used for deicing, mining or agriculture. Daphnia are keystone-herbivores in freshwater ecosystems. The tolerance of Daphnia, to sodium chloride is known to be species-specific, depends on food quantity and food quality. This PhD project will experimentally explore phenotypic adaptive responses of Daphnia to increased salinisation through space and time. Consequences of adaptation to other anthropogenic threats, such as eutrophication and subsequent cyanobacterial blooms will be investigated. Building on exisiting knowledge, this research will identify the role of nutrition in adapting to salinization of freshwater ecosystems.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of Ecology, Limnology or Marine Biology. It is an advantage to have previous work or research experience in zooplankton culturing techniques. Experience with large-scale experimental-design and executation is also advantageous.
