About the project 

The NTNU University Museum is looking for an energetic and ambitious genomicist with excellent organizational and communication skills. This three-year postdoctoral position is part of the Norwegian Research Council-funded project HoloCamp, which aims to better understand the role of host-microbe interactions in the different susceptibility of faster- and slower-growing chicken breeds to Campylobacter infection, which has potentials for zoonotic transmission to consumers through poultry meat. The project also aims to advance understanding of host-microbe interactions in the gut of farmed chickens, determine how the metabolic capacities of gut microbiota contribute to chicken growth rates in the presence and absence of Campylobacter, and potentially develop an applied microbiome transplantation solution for reducing chickens’ Campylobacter susceptibility.

 The postdoc will have a leading role in the large-scale multi-omics (“hologenomic”) data analysis to integrate/synthesize the genomic, transcriptomic, metagenomic, and potentially meta-transcriptomic sequencing data alongside phenotypic and other veterinary data generated by project partners at NMBU. This integration could involve conducting statistical and computational modelling analyses, including differential gene expression analysis, microbiome diversity analyses, host–microbiome association testing, metagenome-wide association analyses (mGWAS), hierarchical Bayesian community modelling, and integration of microbial functional traits with host phenotypes.

The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions. The position is based at the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim with Prof. Michael D. Martin and in close association with project partners Dr. Ann-Katrin Llarena at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). To ensure appropriate contextualization and incorporation of the non-omic data, a substantial portion of the project period will be spent closely collaborating with HoloCamp’s NMBU team in Ås, Norway. There may be opportunities for student supervision and involvement with other relevant scientific projects.

Defence Nordic søger en dygtig, energisk og nyhedsskarp journalist, der vil være med til at udvikle et nyt erhvervsmedie om forsvars- og sikkerhedsindustrien i Norden.

Mediet har kun været i luften i få måneder. Men det vokser hurtigt, og ambitionen er klar: Defence Nordic skal levere relevant, skarp og uundværlig journalistik til beslutningstagere i og omkring den nordiske forsvarsindustri.

Defence Nordic er en del af Nordiske Medier, men modsat vores andre medier, skriver vi på engelsk og henvender os til læsere i hele Norden. Stoffet er både nordisk og internationalt, men vores blik er især rettet mod de vigtigste virksomheder i Danmark, Sverige, Norge og Finland og mod de internationale aktører, der samarbejder med, køber fra eller investerer i den nordiske industri.

Som journalist på Defence Nordic skal du sammen med dygtige kolleger finde de vigtigste nyheder, de skarpeste vinkler og de mest relevante historier for en professionel målgruppe. Vi skriver konkret, effektivt og med perspektiv, og vi sætter en ære i at levere kvalitetsindhold, som vores læsere kan bruge.

Forsvarsindustrien er i markant udvikling, og banen er stor, når det handler om den gode historie. Vi dækker blandt andet virksomheder, kontrakter, store udbud, investeringer, strategi, teknologi, M&A, regnskaber, industrisamarbejde, eksport og internationale partnerskaber. Vi skriver også om sikkerhed i bredere forstand – f.eks. beskyttelse af kritisk infrastruktur, cyber og dual use-teknologi.

På Defence Nordic er vi både konstruktive og kritiske i vores tilgang. Målet er hver dag at levere unik kvalitetsjournalistik, som vores abonnenter ikke kan undvære.

Redaktionen består i dag af to journalister, men vi trækker også på vores nordiske kolleger og freelancere. Vi foretrækker, at redaktionen som nu har base på redaktionen i København.

Om dig

Du er en dygtig journalist, der elsker at finde nyheder og vinde den daglige nyhedskamp. Du har blik for den gode historie, kan arbejde selvstændigt med egne vinkler og er en sikker interviewer.

Du skal kunne skrive sikkert og professionelt på engelsk. En stor del af arbejdet foregår på engelsk, og du skal være i stand til at interviewe på engelsk med professionelle kilder i og uden for Norden.

Det er en fordel, hvis du har erfaring med eller viden om forsvarsindustrien, men det er ikke et krav. Det vigtigste er, at du er nysgerrig, lærenem og har lyst til at forstå en branche, hvor udviklingen går stærkt, og hvor journalistikken gør en forskel.

Du skal have ambitioner om at sætte dagsordenen med din journalistik. Du skal grave, når der er noget at grave i, og du skal kunne forklare komplekse emner, så de bliver relevante og brugbare for læserne. Vi er bedst, når vi går i dybden med en sag og viser forståelse for den branche, vi dækker.

Du er god til selv at finde nyheder og nye vinkler. Du skriver konkret og levende og kan skære dine historier til, så vi ikke spilder læsernes tid. Du må gerne have erfaring med erhvervsjournalistik, regnskaber, strategi, teknologi, industri eller politisk regulerede brancher – men først og fremmest skal du have journalistisk drive.

Det er naturligt for dig at publicere digitalt og bruge nyhedsbreve, sociale medier og trafikdata aktivt i arbejdet med at få journalistikken ud til læserne. Du må gerne synes, at en god dag er en dag med stærke historier, relevante vinkler og masser af læsere.

Holdånd er vigtig for os. Vi hjælper hinanden, deler viden og står sammen i kampen om nyhederne.

Ansættelsesvilkår

Vi tilbyder gode ansættelsesvilkår med løn og pension efter gældende overenskomst og dine kvalifikationer.

Stillingen er på fuld tid, og du skal begynde efter sommerferien.

News-driven journalist for Defence Nordic

Defence Nordic is looking for a talented, energetic and news-driven journalist to help develop a new business media outlet covering the defence and security industry in the Nordic region.

The media outlet has only been live for a few months. But it is growing quickly, and the ambition is clear: Defence Nordic must deliver relevant, sharp and indispensable journalism to decision-makers in and around the Nordic defence industry.

Defence Nordic is part of Nordiske Medier, but unlike our other media outlets, we publish in English and address readers across the Nordic region. Our coverage is both Nordic and international, but our focus is particularly on the most important companies in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland — as well as the international players that cooperate with, buy from or invest in the Nordic industry.

As a journalist at Defence Nordic, you will work with skilled colleagues to identify the most important news, the strongest angles and the most relevant stories for a professional audience. We write with clarity, efficiency and perspective, and we take pride in delivering high-quality content that our readers can use.

The defence industry is undergoing significant development, and there is no shortage of strong stories to pursue. We cover companies, contracts, major tenders, investments, strategy, technology, M&A, financial results, industrial cooperation, exports and international partnerships. We also cover security in a broader sense — for example the protection of critical infrastructure, cyber and dual-use technology.

At Defence Nordic, our approach is both constructive and critical. Our goal is to deliver unique, high-quality journalism every day — journalism that our subscribers cannot do without.

The editorial team currently consists of two journalists, but we also work closely with our Nordic colleagues and freelancers. We prefer the editorial team to remain based, as it is now, at our newsroom in Copenhagen.

About you

You are a skilled journalist who loves finding news and winning the daily news race. You have a strong instinct for a good story, you can work independently with your own angles, and you are a confident interviewer.

You must be able to write confidently and professionally in English. A large part of the work takes place in English, and you must be able to conduct interviews in English with professional sources both inside and outside the Nordic region.

Experience with or knowledge of the defence industry is an advantage, but not a requirement. What matters most is that you are curious, quick to learn and eager to understand an industry that is developing rapidly — and where journalism makes a difference.

You should have the ambition to set the agenda with your journalism. You must be ready to dig when there is something to dig into, and you must be able to explain complex topics in a way that makes them relevant and useful to readers. We are at our best when we go in depth with a story and show a real understanding of the industry we cover.

You are good at finding your own news and developing new angles. You write clearly and vividly, and you know how to sharpen your stories so we do not waste our readers’ time. Experience with business journalism, financial statements, strategy, technology, industry or politically regulated sectors is welcome — but above all, you must have journalistic drive.

Publishing digitally should come naturally to you, and you should be comfortable using newsletters, social media and traffic data actively to get journalism out to readers. Ideally, you think a good day is a day with strong stories, relevant angles and plenty of readers.

Team spirit is important to us. We help each other, share knowledge and stand together in the daily battle for the best stories.

Terms of employment

We offer good terms of employment, with salary and pension in accordance with the relevant collective agreement and your qualifications.

The position is full-time, and you will start after the summer holidays.

If you have any questions about the position as journalist at Defence Nordic, you are welcome to contact Head of News Jesper Tornvig Ludvigsen at jelu@nordiskemedier.dk.

We will be conducting interviews on an ongoing basis. The deadline for applications is Thursday, 6 August 2026.

At Nordiske Medier, we want to reflect the society around us. We therefore encourage everyone — regardless of background and orientation — to apply for the position.

About us

Nordiske Medier is one of Scandinavia’s largest companies within trade and business journalism. We cover Nordic business with constructive, trustworthy and independent news that gets close to the industries we work with. We have newsrooms in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Odense, Aalborg and Aarhus. In total, we are around 250 employees. We send daily online newsletters to more than 550,000 recipients and have 450,000 readers of our print publications.

The SDU Metaverse Lab is seeking a new colleague to join our team. Our focus is on the interface of technology and people, working across domains to create experiences and technologies that enable people to shape and engage with the future. We seek a new colleague to support the strengths of the lab across all forms of interactive technologies, while unlocking new opportunities to provide societal benefit through cutting-edge technical research.

 

1 The SDU Metaverse Lab

The Metaverse Lab is an interdisciplinary research, academic, and impact-generating organisation. Unconstrained by disciplines, the Metaverse Lab sees engineers, scientists, designers, artists, and practitioners focusing on creating experiences and technologies that enable people to shape and engage with the future. In the Metaverse Lab, staff and students work together with companies and organisations on projects across disciplines in an environment designed for collaboration and technology transfer. Our research is motivated by a single aim: delivering science and technology for the benefit of society at scale. Within the broad interdisciplinary space of the Metaverse Lab, our work converges on three interconnected themes.

In Human-AI Interaction, we develop AI systems that work with and alongside people - from multi-agent logistics and swarm control in hospital settings to adaptive AI decision-making, affective computing for emotion-aware support systems, and AI-driven game environments including game twins: lightweight interactive counterparts of real-world processes designed to explain complex ideas, lower barriers to entry, and build awareness and resilience.

In Digital and Technical Literacy, we investigate how children, students, and educators can be better prepared for the digital transformation of the labour market - through STEM education programmes, teaching materials for primary and secondary schools, teacher training in emerging technologies, and AI-powered educational tools.

In Health and Wellbeing Technology, we build computational methods that improve how healthcare is delivered and experienced - including AI systems for capturing and structuring clinical conversations, causal AI for medical interventions, and game-based approaches to therapeutics and diagnostics.

Across all three themes, we work closely with industry, healthcare, defence, and public-sector partners to ensure our research translates into real-world impact.

Our faculty leads the Game Development and Learning Technologies Bachelor's degree, as well as the Interactive Technologies and Games MSc programme, working with students, visitors, and our many partner companies and organizations. Our students form the crucial front-end engineering link between back-end engineering and the actual users of information systems, with deep technical expertise and design skills who can ensure systems are useful and impactful - and ready for the future. Our alumni have gone on to share their unique skills and competencies across the Creative Industries and beyond.

The degree comprises a 3-year BSc plus a joint MSc programme with the Software Engineering section at the same institute. At its heart, the programme is a technical software engineering degree, but with a heavy emphasis on front-end design and thinking. The degree covers a diverse range of situations with an emphasis on game design and game development, including AI fundamentals and advanced techniques, VR/XR, web programming, hardware and robotics, learning technologies, and advanced interaction technologies. We place a heavy emphasis on semester projects in teams and integrate these projects directly into our courses. The degree is taught primarily in English. Some courses can be taught in Danish if the lecturer speaks Danish and there are no native-English speaking students in the class in question.

Waaraan je zal werken
Onze visie is dat AI agents razendsnel evolueren naar volwaardige virtuele werknemers. Je werkt samen met de CTO aan het bouwen van de AI social media manager.

Hoe we werken:
Manueel programmeren is voorbij, software engineering is nog maar net begonnen.
We maken intensief gebruik van coding agents, voornamelijk Claude Code. We staan aan de frontlinie van agentic software engineering en investeren fors in het optimaliseren van hoe we zo efficiënt mogelijk werken met coding agents.

We tolereren geen slordig werk. We houden onze code aan de hoogste standaarden. We lezen onze code wanneer nodig, vaker wel dan niet. We engineeren onze workflows zodat onze coding agents van bij de start kwalitatieve code produceren, en ons helpen om efficiënt de code van onze agents en collega's te reviewen.

We streven ernaar om de beste computerwetenschappers te zijn. Aangezien we minder tijd aan syntax moeten besteden, hebben we geen excuus meer om niet te kiezen voor de beste technologie, de beste architectuur te ontwerpen, maximale performantie te verzekeren en workflows maximaal te automatiseren.

We zijn end-to-end builders, geen code monkeys. We vertrekken van high level feature beschrijvingen en nemen eigenaarschap over het eindresultaat. We nemen de verantwoordelijkheid voor de user experience, de architectuur en de code.

What we do every day:
We vertrekken van een zeer korte, algemene beschrijving van nieuwe functionaliteit en zetten dat om in state-of-the-art software. Daarvoor moeten we het volgende doen:

• Begrijpen hoe gebruikers ons product gebruiken.
• Meten hoe gebruikers ons product gebruiken.
• Analyseren van data.
• Op de hoogte zijn van de nieuwste technologieën.
• Vergelijkende studies maken van technologieën en de juiste keuze maken.
• Prototypes bouwen.
• Software architecturen uittekenen en vergelijken.
• Overleggen met collega's.
• Code reviewen.
• Software testen.
• Het agentic software development process verbeteren en verder automatiseren.

Wie je bent

Je wil de beste AI Engineer worden.

Je bent een AI-native computerwetenschapper die wil werken bij een AI product scale-up die aan de frontlinie van bouwen met AI wil staan, omdat:

• Je een heavy user bent van coding agents.
• Je niet wil achterblijven omdat 5 lagen dinosaurusbazen niet begrijpen hoe snel de softwarewereld verandert.
• Je geen zin hebt in nutteloze meetings met veel te veel mensen om beslissingen te nemen die je elke ochtend zelf kan maken.
• Je wil bewegen aan de snelheid van AI, niet aan de traagheid van de oude wereld.
• Je jezelf ziet als de tech co-founder van je eigen bedrijf op een dag.
• Je wil leren hoe je een echt AI product bouwt en uitbaat.
• Je geen Proof Of Concept wil bouwen die nooit gebruikt zal worden, maar echte impact wil hebben vanaf dag 1.

Maar je hebt ook de basis onder de knie:

• Je hebt minstens een Masterdiploma in Computerwetenschappen.
• Je woont in België.
• Je hebt een mening over clean code. Je vindt over-engineering viscerally irritant.
• Je krijgt een warm gevoel als je naar een elegante architectuur kijkt die gewoon juist zit.
• Je kan denken als een product person. Als een spec vaag is, stel je de juiste twee vragen, en maak je redelijke keuzes voor de rest.
• Hoewel je in om het even welke programmeertaal dingen kan laten werken, ben je comfortabel in TypeScript.

En het is een plus als je:

• Bijdragen aan open source projecten kan aantonen.
• Een portfolio van hobbyprojecten kan tonen.
• Een product hebt gelanceerd met betalende gebruikers.

Je komt terecht in een internationale en vooruitstrevende organisatie die wereldwijd een sterke reputatie heeft opgebouwd binnen interieur en bouw. Innovatie, duurzaamheid en groei staan centraal, maar minstens even belangrijk is de aandacht voor mensen en samenwerking.

Hier werk je in een omgeving waar dynamiek en professionaliteit hand in hand gaan met teamspirit en betrokkenheid.

• Je beheert jouw eigen klantenportefeuille en bent hun vaste aanspreekpunt

• Je begeleidt klanten bij het gebruik van digitale tools en platformen
• Je denkt vooruit, detecteert mogelijke problemen en lost deze proactief op
• Je optimaliseert processen en denkt mee over verbeteringen
• Je neemt deel aan projecten en helpt de service verder te verbeteren

Wie ben jij?

Je bent een communicatieve en klantgerichte professional die energie haalt uit afwisseling en verantwoordelijkheid.

• Je hebt een hoger diploma of relevante ervaring
• Je communiceert vlot in meerdere talen (Nederlands, Frans, Engels of Duits)
• Je werkt vlot met digitale tools, kennis van SAP is een plus
• Je bent stressbestendig en kan goed schakelen tussen verschillende taken
• Je denkt oplossingsgericht en neemt initiatief
• Je bent een echte teamplayer met een positieve mindset
• Je hebt een sterke commerciële feeling en zet de klant altijd centraal

Je bent een sterke therapeut. En toch knaagt er iets.

Je wil méér dan je eigen agenda volgen. Je denkt graag mee over hóé het beter kan, je ziet structuur waar anderen losse eindjes zien, en je krijgt energie van een team dat groeit. Je gelooft dat goede zorg en een professioneel georganiseerde praktijk geen tegenpolen zijn, maar elkaar net versterken.

Alleen.. in de meeste praktijken krijg je daar zelden de ruimte voor.

Bij Kurago wel.

Kurago is het bewijs dat warme, mensgerichte zorg én een professioneel bedrijf hand in hand gaan, en dat het net die combinatie is die jou de ruimte, rust en omkadering geeft om écht goede zorg te bieden. We bouwen aan een warm, deskundig en vernieuwend netwerk van groepspraktijken in heel Vlaanderen. Vandaag zijn we met zes vestigingen; de komende jaren groeien we bewust en stap voor stap richting een netwerk van zo'n vijftien praktijken tegen 2030. Telkens op hetzelfde beproefde, stabiele model.

Voor die groei zoeken we nu al de mensen die ze mee zullen dragen: warme, ervaren klinisch psychologen die niet alleen therapie willen geven, maar als praktijkmanager mee willen bouwen aan een team, een cultuur en een praktijk.

​

Eerlijk over de timing

Via deze vacature starten we steeds eerst in één (of meer) van onze bestaande praktijken (bv. Geel, Diest of Hasselt). Geen tussenstation, maar een bewuste aanloop: je leert er onze werking, cultuur en aanpak van binnenuit kennen, zodat je ze later niet alleen kunt bewaken maar ook authentiek kunt dóórgeven op jouw nieuwe locatie. Ondertussen leer je dankzij ons opleidingstraject voor praktijkmanagers ook stelselmatig al het nodige om in deze rol optimaal te kunnen functioneren. Daarna groei je door naar praktijkmanager bij een nieuwe vestiging in Aarschot, Herentals of Heist-op-den-Berg.

​

Dit wordt jouw werkterrein

Een praktijk leiden bij Kurago betekent leven met een aantal gezonde spanningen.. en ze niet wegdenken, maar er bewust mee werken:

• warme zorgcultuur én professionele bedrijfsvoering

• de therapeutische autonomie van je team én de structuur die hun werk lichter maakt

• ambitieuze groei én het kwaliteits- en menselijkheidsniveau waar we voor staan

Net dat evenwicht bewaken is voor ons de kern van goed leiderschap. Als dit je nieuwsgierig maakt in plaats van afschrikt, zit je hier goed.

En wees gerust: je staat er niet alleen voor. Veel van wat een eigen praktijk normaal zwaar maakt (HR, aanmeldingen, IT, supervisie, administratie, ondersteuning bij moeilijke gesprekken,..) is bij ons centraal georganiseerd. Zo kun jij je richten op waar het écht om draait: je cliënten en je team.

Waarom loondienst bij Kurago?

Psychologen in loondienst zijn nog altijd vrij uniek in onze sector. Voor jou betekent dat: werkzekerheid, ontzorging en teamverbondenheid, met de volledige professionele infrastructuur van Kurago achter je. Geen alledaagse zorgen die je avonden opeten, wel de ruimte om therapeut én leider te zijn. En bij doorgroei naar praktijkmanager hoort daar ook een firmawagen bij.

Wat doe je als praktijkmanager?

Het hart van je job blijft therapie. Daarnaast neem je, afhankelijk van de grootte van de praktijk, praktijkmanagement-uren op. Je bent daarin geen doorgeefluik van bovenaf, maar mede-beleidsmaker: je denkt mee over de werking, de visie en de toekomst van Kurago, en je hebt mee een stem in waar het naartoe gaat. We investeren daar bewust en actief in, omdat we geloven dat praktijkmanagers de organisatie mee vormgeven in plaats van alleen uitvoeren.

• Team >> je belangrijkste verantwoordelijkheid. Je ondersteunt aanwerving en onboarding, checkt in met teamleden rond welbevinden en ontwikkeling, voert functionerings- en doelengesprekken en denkt oplossingsgericht mee bij uitdagingen of overbelasting. Leidinggeven aan psychologen vraagt iets bijzonders: warmte én daadkracht, psychologische veiligheid bewaken én warm-zakelijk grenzen durven stellen. Je maakt je team sterker zonder het over te nemen.

• Cultuur & beleid >> Je bewaakt en draagt de waarden en missie van Kurago actief uit, en zorgt dat jouw praktijk dezelfde warmte en spirit uitstraalt als onze andere vestigingen. Je neemt deel aan het maandelijkse overleg met de andere praktijkmanagers, waar beleid en richting samen vorm krijgen.

• Cliënten & wachtlijst >> Je volgt mee de wachtlijst op en onderneemt actie om cliënten aan te trekken: netwerkevents, lokale partners en initiatieven in de buurt.

• Voorzieningen & praktijkbeheer >> En ja, ook het praktische telt: mee zorgen voor orde, netheid, voorraad en de dagelijkse goede gang van zaken. Het kleinste, maar onmisbare stukje van de puzzel.
