  • PERSONALISED MONITORING AND TARGETED PREVENTION OF SELF-INJURY IN DAILY LIFE
    (ref. BAP-2020-875) ‍ The Center for Contextual Psychiatry (CCP) is a world-leading, multidisciplinary and internationally oriented research centre, widely recognized for its expertise in the design, application, and analysis of studies using ambulatory assessment and experience sampling methodology in the context of mental health research. The CCP is headed by Prof. Inez Myin-Germeys and currently consists of 30 researchers from diverse backgrounds (clinical and experimental psychology, psychiatry, statistics, philosophy, movement sciences). We aim to provide a supportive and collegial environment for all of our researchers, including ample training and mentoring opportunities for PhD researchers, as well as weekly lab meetings with lively discussions and presentations. Our group is committed to producing high-quality, ambitious and scientifically rigorous work, which seeks to make tangible, real-world differences in the lives of people with mental health problems. We work according to open science practices and lead initiatives to facilitate the use of open science practices by other researchers, to increase transparency and reproducibility. The CCP is part of the Department of Neurosciences in the School of Medicine at KU Leuven, one of the most renowned research universities in Europe. The PhD project will be supervised by Dr Olivia Kirtley and Dr Glenn Kiekens, who lead the non-suicidal and suicidal self-injurious thoughts and behaviours research line within the CCP, and Prof. Inez Myin-Germeys ‍ Website unit ‍ Project Up to 10% of adolescents and adults engage in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI; e.g., cutting, hitting) every year and are at increased risk for suicide and various other adverse outcomes (e.g., stigma, depression, interpersonal stress). Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15 - 29 year-olds worldwide. As such, NSSI and suicide represent major global public health issues, especially in young people. Despite this, we still lack the ability to effectively predict NSSI and suicidal behaviours where they occur: in individuals’ everyday lives. Without this knowledge, preventing NSSI and suicidal behaviour will remain a significant challenge. Existing research has relied heavily upon traditional self-report questionnaires using observation windows from months-to-years, lacking temporal precision to capture dynamic fluctuations in NSSI and suicidal behaviour.  Fortunately, the proliferation of new technologies have made it feasible to start answering a question of crucial clinical relevance: when are young people at acute risk of non-suicidal and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in daily life? Against this background, this innovative PhD project will harness the power of cutting-edge experience sampling methods and wearable technology to lay the foundation for novel interventions and collect data in two daily life studies: a clinical study with individuals who have engaged in NSSI and another with young adults from the general population who are at risk of developing suicidal thoughts and behaviours. The project will involve developing individual risk prediction models that can accurately detect the risk of NSSI in daily life and investigating dynamic phenotypes of people who self-injure, as well as those at high-risk. The successful candidate will take a leading role in the two studies and will be responsible for conducting interviews with the participants and cooperating with clinicians. In collaboration with their supervisors, the PhD student will develop their own research questions and hypotheses, collect and analyse their data, and write papers for publication in international peer-reviewed journals. The insights from this PhD will pave the way for individualised treatment programmes and in-the-moment ecological momentary interventions for NSSI and suicidal thoughts and behaviours.   ‍ Profile ‍ Applications for which the following information is uploaded will be considered: Master's degree in Psychology or a related field (e.g., Mental Health, Psychiatry) Clinical background or work-related experience in mental health care involving patient contact Solid background in statistics and research methods (e.g., analyses will involve constructing within-person prediction models, using multilevel modeling) Strong interest in novel approaches to assessing and preventing non-suicidal and suicidal self-injurious behaviors in daily life A creative, problem-solving personality, who can generate novel solutions independently, yet does not mind being challenged constructively to reach the best possible outcome Knowledge of the experience sampling method, physiological measurement, and/or literature on non-suicidal and suicidal self-injury is an advantage Excellent written and verbal command of the English language is required (C1 proficiency level) Applicants must be fluent in Dutch. Non-Dutch speakers will not be considered for this position. Note: This profile was created, considering all the essential skills that will be needed for the successful completion of the PhD project. If you are interested in this position but currently do not meet all requirements, we encourage you to apply and address in your cover letter how you aim to obtain the necessary skills within the first year of the Ph.D. However, English and Dutch language levels are an absolute requirement. ‍ Offer A contract for one year will be offered, which is renewable for another three years after positive evaluation. Salaries for Ph.D. students are competitive by international standards. The starting date is flexible but no later than March 2021.    ‍ Interested?

  • PhD scholarship in fish habitat use near platforms in the North Sea and fisheries implications
    A PhD Scholarship in fisheries and fish habitat use near oil and gas platforms in the North Sea is available at the Technical University of Denmark. The scholarship will give you scientific expertise in marine biology and fisheries, including tracking of fish, habitat assessments and fish population estimates. The expected starting date for the PhD Scholarship is 1st May 2020. The PhD scholarship will be carried out at the National Institute of Aquatic Resources (DTU Aqua), north of Copenhagen in Denmark. ‍ Project description and responsibilities The goal of the PhD project is to provide an understanding of the role that oil and gas platforms in the North Sea are playing for a culturally and economically important fish species, the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The species is often associated with reefs and structures on the seabed and is likely abundant near platform foundations. The Atlantic cod in the North Sea is particularly relevant because the population is below sustainable thresholds (ICES 2019). ‍ The PhD Scholarship includes capture and tagging of fish near a platform in the North Sea to estimate fish population sizes and perform 3D mapping of fish movements in the area surrounding the platform. Fish will be captured using rod and line (angling) from boats situated next to the platform. Tagging will be done on a larger vessel in the area. Fish population sizes will be estimated using tag-release-recapture methods, and fish movements will be mapped in 3D using acoustic telemetry. The acoustic telemetry involves a hydrophone array surrounding the platform and subsequent calculation of fish 3D positions (Baktoft et al., 2017; Everett et al., 2020). Fish tracking will be carried out for one year to estimate fish abundance near the platform during different seasons, including the spawning season. Dispersal of fish eggs and larvae will be modelled to assess the contribution of fish living near the platform to fish recruitment in neighboring North Sea areas. Project findings will be used for management of existing platforms and future platform decommissioning (Fowler et al., 2020), as well as other anthropogenic activities in marine areas (e.g. offshore windfarms). The PhD student is expected to: · Complete fieldwork on the North Sea lasting 1-2 months in 2021 and 2022. · Compile and analyze data sets resulting from the North Sea fieldwork. · Report project findings in peer-reviewed articles. · Co-supervise BSc and MSc student projects. ‍ Qualifications Candidates should 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. The degree could be in aquatic science, biology, physics, engineering or similar. The candidate is expected to demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken English. Analytical skills and experience with statistical tools (e.g. in R, MatLab or Python) are expected. The team at DTU Aqua is highly international and knowing the Danish language is not needed. The candidate must be available for fieldwork on the North Sea lasting many weeks. ‍ 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 the DTU PhD Guide. ‍ Assessment Candidate assessments will consider possible experience in: · Offshore fieldwork. · Quality of research proposal (see below). · Work in research teams (e.g. during the master’s degree work). · Fisheries management. · Statistical analyses and modelling of behavioral data. · Dissemination of scientific results to academic groups and the public. · Communication with stakeholders. · Collaboration with industrial partners. · Publishing results in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

A state-of-the-art 100-kHz mid-infrared optical parametric chirped pulse amplified laser system will be employed to (i) generate optical pump pulses spanning the deep-ultraviolet to the far-infrared electromagnetic spectrum to photo-excite our target sample and (ii) to simultaneously drive the keV-UED set-up to probe the photoexcited sample by electron diffraction. Time-resolved optical-pump UED-probe measurements will be performed to record dynamical movies of photo-induced chemical reactions and phase transitions by capturing a series of electron diffraction patterns at various pump-probe temporal delays.  In particular, sub-100-fs 100-keV multi-electron pulses will be generated that will be subsequently utilized to time-resolve the coupled electron-nuclear dynamics in gas-phase chemical reactions and the coupled electron-lattice dynamics in light-induced charge density waves and magnetization in condensed matter samples. The successful candidate will participate in the installation of the optical-pump keV-UED-probe set-up and will be responsible for performing time-resolved pump-probe measurements. Moreover, the candidate will develop data analysis software to analyze the electron diffraction patterns to retrieve the molecular (lattice) structure of gas-phase molecules (condensed matter samples). The PhD student will perform measurements at MBI with various opportunities to develop collaborations both internally across the three divisions at MBI and externally at various internationally-recognized academic and commercial partners. ‍ Requirements: We are seeking an outstanding and highly motivated candidate holding a Diploma or Master’s degree in physics or physical chemistry by the date of recruitment. Candidates should have a strong background in at least one of the following fields: ultrafast electron diffraction, ultrashort lasers, non-linear optics, molecular dynamics, ultrafast condensed matter physics. Very good verbal and written communications skills in English are required. ‍ Offer: The researcher position is available immediately and initially limited to 3 years. The payment is according to the German TVöD salary scheme for scientists in public research institutions (75%). ‍ MBI is an equal opportunity employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply. If equally qualified, severely handicapped persons are given preference. ‍ MBI supports the reconcilability of family and working life and is certified as family-friendly by the "family audit". ‍ Please use the button "Apply online" and upload your application with a CV, letter of interest in research, two letters of reference and a certificate of the Diploma/Master degree electronically via the MBI online recruiting platform at https://mbi-berlin.de/de/karriere.

  • PhD scholarship in Super Resolution Ultrasound Image Processing
    A 3-year PhD scholarship is available at the Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging (CFU), Department of Health Technology and at DTU Compute from early 2021 sponsored by the European Research Council (ERC) and the Department of Health Technology at DTU. It is conducted in collaboration between CFU, DTU Compute, DTU Physics, the MEMS group at DTU Health Tech, the University of Copenhagen, and the Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet) in the ERC Synergy Grant “3-D Super resolution Ultrasound Real time imaging of Erythrocytes” - SURE. The SURE project develops and researches a new super resolution ultrasound imaging method capable of resolving 3-D capillary flow in the human body. The approach tracks the motion of the individual red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a three-dimensional volume for a full visualization of anatomy, flow, and perfusion. The approach can potentially yield a paradigm shift in the scientific study, diagnoses, and treatment of cancer, diabetes, and vascular diseases at the capillary level, as it enables the possibility of volumetrically visualizing capillary perfusion in real-time at frame rates above 20 Hz without injection of contrast agents. Responsibilities and tasks This project develops the processing pipeline for making three-dimensional SURE imaging by translating the current 2D pipeline to 3D. The algorithms should be adapted to data from row-column arrays for 3D imaging and implemented for real time processing. The main emphasize is on making quantification of the small vessel flow from the volumetric data and derive clinical relevant biomarkers in collaboration with the groups at the University of Copenhagen. A major focus is on validating the in-vivo data from animal studies with microCT scans of the organs performed at DTU Physics. The research is conducted in a truly multi-disciplinary environment consisting of the 6 academic partners specializing in advanced ultrasound imaging, silicon CMUT probes, animal experiments, image processing, CT scanning and clinical investigations, and the main purpose is to translate the SURE method from a research idea to the clinic. Qualifications Candidates should 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. Experience with digital signal processing is desirable. Similarly, knowledge of medical imaging and acoustics will also be beneficial. 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.
