Postdoctoral position in the Crowdfunding of Science project

 

The Department of Management at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join a new research project on “the Crowdfunding of Science: Outcome and Opportunities”.

The starting date is 1 September 2022 or subject to mutual agreement.
 

The research project

The crowdfunding of science project is based on two main work packages:

1) The project explores the benefits and opportunities for researchers seeking funding in this alternative way. Initial questions are:
Do researchers involved in crowdfunding of science perform better than others (e.g., publications, citations, grants, etc.)?
Do winners of crowdfunding do better than people who apply but are unsuccessful in obtaining funding on the platform – e.g., enter a research training program (PhD) or stay in academia – thus does crowdfunding of science platforms work as incubators for scientists?

 2) The project also studies how digital platforms allocating this type of funding for scientific research engage with citizens (e.g., backers). Initial questions concern:
How backers with different levels of experience and expertise in scientific work allocate funding to crowdfunding projects relative to the information available and their allocation of attention to this information.

The research applies various micro-level data sources from interviews and econometrics on data from web-scaped data-bases to lab experiments.

The project aims to contribute to the general field of science development and funding.

The project involves local and international collaborators and thus, short research stays at other collaborating institutions, and visiting periods hosted by renowned scholars will be included.

The postdoc researcher will work closely with Prof. Lars Frederiksen from MGMT. 

The project is expected to generate high-quality research and is externally funded by the Novo Nordic Foundation.
 

Job description

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the overall objectives of the project by being involved in idea generation, conceptual development, searching and reviewing relevant literature, research design, data collection and analysis etc. The candidate is also expected to contribute to the other phases of the research process, including writing papers, presenting results, organizing work and the ongoing development of the project. The candidate must be able to manage own research and administrative activities according to agreed timelines and deliverables.

The position is research-oriented but may involve very limited teaching assignments.
 

Qualifications

The idea candidates would hold a recent PhD or be close to finishing a PhD relevant to the academic areas of the Department of Management preferably within one or more of the following areas: Management, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, economics, sociology, political science or similar.

PhD scholarship in Mid-IR Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors

 

If you aim at scientific excellence and want to establish a career as a scientist within mid infrared (mid-IR) surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors and their applications, then we have the ideal opportunity for you. In fiber optics based SPR sensors, the penetration depth of the evanescent wave into the sample under investigation depends on the resonance wavelength. The longer the wavelength, the higher the penetration depth. However, current SPR sensors are limited to the visible wavelength region. This can be overcome by generating SPR in the mid-IR region with optical fibers and plasmonic materials suitable for this wavelength region. SRP in the mid-IR are ideal for a range of application such as for monitoring in real time dynamic changes taking place in living cells which is difficult to achieve in the visible wavelength region. In addition, mid-IR SPR sensors are expected to be biocompatible as Rayleigh scattering and photo-damage to the tissue in this wavelength region is reduced.

As the application is mainly focused on bio-sensing and applications in health science you will work closely with DTU Health Tech.  Our group, Fiber Sensors and Supercontinuum, is a world leader within the development and application of mid-IR supercontinuum sources, which is essential for mid-IR SPR excitation.

Responsibilities and qualifications
In this project, your primary responsibility will be

• To perform simulations to investigate mid-IR optical fiber-based SPR bio-sensors
• To explore and implement appropriate plasmonic materials for mid-IR SPR excitation.
• To develop a compact mid-IR SPR bio sensor.
• To demonstrate applications that are challenging or impossible in the visible wavelength region such as monitoring in real time dynamic changes taking place in living cells.
• To optimize the sensor structure to maximize the sensor sensitivity, resolution, limit of detection and sensing range.

We therefore require you to have strong expertise in simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics software and strong experimental qualifications within optical fiber technology. In addition, to have the drive to build things yourself and finish projects with high-profile publications. Documented experience in experimental or theoretical studies in the areas of SPR will be evaluated positively.

A detailed project plan will be developed with the supervisors within the first three months after enrolment.

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.

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.
