In cooperation with our host institution DIKU, the HIPERFIT research center is hiring.

We wish to fill the following positions until September 2011:

6 PhD scholars or Postdoctoral researchers

These positions are 3 year research positions within our research center. PhD project duration can be 4 years if the candidate holds a bachelor degree instead of a master’s degree. The announcement is deliberately flexible in order to encourage a larger group of applicants, e.g. positions are divided into the four research areas and into postdoctoral and PhD positions following the quality and preference of the received applications.

The PhD projects and postdoctoral research will be carried out at either DIKU, IMF or NBI under the supervision of senior HIPERFIT researchers. Successful candidates must have a solid academic background within at least one of the 4 research areas of HIPERFIT, as demonstrated by graduate level courses and/or project and thesis work in respective relevant fields, and interdisciplinary interest in (at least) one of the other research areas in question.

Please find more details about the positions on the department’s web pages.

Applications must be submitted by e-mail to suntonn@diku.dk (Subject: PhD Scholarship/Postdoctoral Research Position, HIPERFIT research area) and be received no later than July 4, 2011 at 12.00 local Danish time.

In case of questions, please contact the center director, Professor Fritz Henglein, at henglein@diku.dk, or one of our research area managers, as stated in the full announcement.
