PhD scholarship in Trityls for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization – DTU Health Tech

Engineering/it

Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance is a unique, innovative tool that allows new vistas in medical imaging and spectroscopy. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a widely used imaging method for studying in vivo metabolism non-invasively. We use dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (dDNP) to enhance the MRS signal. The introduction of the dDNP method for metabolic imaging in vivo has thus enabled new ways of diagnosing disease.

The enhanced 13C signal (hyperpolarization) on isotope labelled metabolites is created at cryogenic temperatures and high magnetic field by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) using dedicated equipment. After hyperpolarizing the solid by DNP, the sample is rapidly melted and introduced as a solute into a living system placed in an MR scanner, with the subsequent metabolic MRS. Hyperpolarized MR overcomes the fundamental limitations of conventional magnetic resonance and is currently translated to human studies with several early-phase clinical trials in progress including early reports showing 13C-pyruvate to 13C-lactate metabolism in healthy human brain.

In this project you will synthesize novel analogues of trityls as polarizing agents for DNP. You will study the properties of the trityl with ESR, NMR and DNP. The polarizing agent critically determines the efficiency of DNP.

At HYPERMAG in the Section for Magnetic Resonance at DTU Health Technology we are experts in Hyperpolarized MR.

Responsibilities and qualifications
As a PhD student you are expected to:

  • Contribute to research-based education of bachelor and master students and be a teaching assistant in our courses.
  • Take responsibility for the performance of instrumentation for hyperpolarized magnetic resonance.

You must have a two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree.

You must have a background in organic synthetic chemistry. You should also have experience with NMR and other analytical methods.

Approval and Enrolment 
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see DTU’s rules for the PhD education.

Doctoral (PhD) student position in human adipose tissue biology

Health/Life sciences

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

To be a doctoral student means to devote oneself to a research project under supervision of experienced researchers and following an individual study plan. For a doctoral degree, the equivalent of four years of full-time doctoral education is required.

The research group

The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) is a department with a strong focus on basic science. CMB conducts research and education in cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, stem cell biology, cancer and infection biology. CMB is located in Biomedicum, a new interdisciplinary research center designed to concentrate much of the experimental research conducted at Karolinska Institutet Campus Solna under one roof to promote collaboration. Biomedicum houses approximately 1,200 researchers and other personnel and allows expensive equipment to be shared and utilised more effectively.

The main interests of the Spalding research group are to investigate properties of human adipose tissue, with particular attention to human adipocyte biology. We investigate basic cellular functions, such as senescence, adipocyte lipid and cell turnover, adipocyte response to obesity and hyperinsulinemia and cellular heterogeneity in human adipose tissue depots. Understanding the cell biology and heterogeneity of adipocytes in human adipose tissue, with the ultimate aim of understanding their contributions to health and pathology, is a major focus of the group.

The Spalding group has established strong clinical collaborations within Sweden and abroad, ensuring high quality access to human adipose tissue. All necessary platforms, such as FACS, single cellsequencing and microscopy etc. are available.

The doctoral student project and the duties of the doctoral student

Many metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, strongly associate with obesity, making obesity one of the major health challenges facing the world today. Understanding how adipocytes respond to obesity and contribute to pathological processes is more relevant than ever, especially with juvenile and adult levels of obesity reaching epidemic proportions world-wide.

The Spalding lab recently identified senescent fat cells in human adipose tissue, which increases in association with pathology (obesity and hyperinsulinemia), releasing factors that promote inflammation and dysfunction. The proposed project will investigate the prevalence of senescent adipocytes in different fat depots in humans, identify factors secreted by senescent fat cells and identify mechanisms promoting fat cell senescence.

The student will work with human adipose tissue samples to perform adipocyte cell culture,  immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, confocal and reflected microscopy as well as molecular biology techniques (including western blot, qPCR and RNAseq, comet DNA damage assays).

Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational linguistics focused on multimodal coreference

Engineering/it

Ref PAR 2023/1064

The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) is based in FLoV at the University of Gothenburg, and is funded by a 10-year grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025). CLASP is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modeling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. It also addresses topics in dialogue and linguistic interaction. For a description of CLASP, see www.gu.se/en/clasp.

 

Subject area 

Computational linguistics 

 

Subject area description 

The candidate will carry out their research at CLASP, within a project interested in multimodal coreference resolution.

The overarching goal of the project is to construct a multimodal coreference resolution system (MCRS) that uses text and visual input. We will experiment with crowdsourcing methods to annotate training and test corpora. MCRS will be lightweight in that it will use relatively small amounts of data for supervised learning. It will be trainable in a comparatively short period of time. We will build MCRS on top of existing generic deep learning systems, like multimodal BERT, rather than constructing a large, complex special purpose device. MCRS will be a genuine coreference resolution system. It will seek to determine the specific antecedents, and the graphic object to which an anaphoric expression refers. Its performance will be evaluated on the accuracy with which it performs this task, rather than by its success in returning a ranked class of candidates that includes the ground truth antecedent. The project will explore different ways of integrating visual and linguistic representations in integrated embeddings, and we will determine which ones are most efficient in supporting MCR.

 

Job assignments

The expected candidate is expected to:

  • Collect, compile and process coreference resolution corpora from different genres, domains and methodologies
  • Develop and evaluate coreference resolution models
  • Carry out evaluations of multimodal systems, i.e., images and text (in particular for reference and discourse phenomena)
  • Develop a multimodal coreference resolution system that uses text and visual input

The expected duration of the assignment is 2 years, with possibility of 1-year extension.

The research will be conducted in English.

Apart from research, supplementary duties may include mentoring graduate students, course design, and/or teaching-related activities. These duties are not mandatory and will not exceed 20% of the position’s responsibilities.

The holder of the position is expected to carry out her/his research in Gothenburg and to actively participate in the research group’s workshops, seminars, and conferences.

 

Eligibility 

Eligible for a postdoctoral position are those with a PhD or other foreign degree that is deemed equivalent to PhD. The subject of the doctoral thesis should be in a research area relevant to the specific subject description above. Since the postdoctoral position is intended to give junior researchers the opportunity to establish themselves in the field, we aim to employ applicants that graduated with PhDs within 3 years of the application deadline.

Please note that qualifications for postdoctoral appointments are described in more detail at: Avtal om tidsbegränsning anställning som postdoktor (arbetsgivarverket.se)

 

Assessment 

Candidates should have experience with machine learning including deep learning and neural networks, preferably with a background in mainstream natural language processing tasks and methods (e.g., language modeling, parsing, coreference, machine translation, discourse parsing, etc). Interest in the cognitive processes/models behind human language processing and understanding is a key advantage for the position. Experience with psycholinguistic methods focused on designing and running traditional sentence processing methodologies (eye-tracking, pace reading, judgement studies and cloze tests, spacebar reaction time, etc.) is also desirable.

Scientific proficiency is the most important criterion for assessment, and special attention will be given to the applicant’s PhD thesis and other publications. Documented good interpersonal skills, good skills in terms of planning and organizing research, and good skills in communicating research results is also meritorious. 

The recruitment process may include interviews (possibly by video link) and contacting references.

 

Employment 

Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, 2 years, with the possibility of a third year

Extent: 100% 

Location: Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science, Gothenburg 

First day of employment: By agreement

PhD student position within WWSC: lignin chemistry and its engineering

Engineering/it

Lignin is the second-largest resource component derived from wood. This often underutilized resource can be harnessed to produce a range of valuable bioproducts from plastics to nanopartiles to carbon materials, playing pivotal roles in the biorefinery process. We are actively seeking a motivated Ph.D. student to join an interdisciplinary group in Forest products and Chemical engineering, primarily focusing on the valorization of lignin resources. In this project, the Ph.D. student will work on the development of green chemical ways to obtain versatile and uniform lignin building blocks, which can then be converted into advanced renewable materials, specifically polymeric foams. This project will be performed in a highly collaborative set-up within Chalmers and Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC).

Information about the division and the department
Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC) is a research center striving for scientific excellence with a focus on new materials from trees. The center creates knowledge and builds competence for an innovative and sustainable future value creation from forest raw materials. WWSC is a multidisciplinary collaboration between KTH, Chalmers, and Linköping University. The base is a donation from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and the forest industry is supporting WWSC via the national platform Treesearch.

An important goal is to develop mathematical models that capture real-world phenomena and thereby allow machines and humans to act efficiently in the world around us. Optimization methods are of central importance since they are ubiquitous in both our core focus areas: machine learning and control.

We have a wide network of strong international collaborators all around the world, for example at the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Harvard University, and Aalto University. There are also ample opportunities for collaborations with other leading machine learning groups in Sweden and Europe, through our affiliations with WASP and the ELLIS society, respectively.

Duties
The successful candidate will work with the research groups of Jens Sjölund (IT Dept.) and Erik Berg (Chemistry Dept.), intensifying our efforts in realizing an autonomous battery laboratory that combines robotics and AI into a closed-loop system for rapid experimentation and exploration.
