University of Copenhagen PhD Jobs Scraper (KU)

Fetch all open PhD and research fellowship positions from the University of Copenhagen's HR employment feed — every faculty and department, not just one discipline.

What University of Copenhagen PhD data does this scraper extract?

Each result is one flat JSON record per job posting:

Field	Meaning
id	Stable source-side identifier
title	Job title as posted
company	Hiring institution (always "University of Copenhagen")
location	Location / duty station
url	Direct link to the posting
postedAt	Publish date/time, ISO 8601 (null if the feed didn't provide one)
deadline	Application deadline parsed from the posting text — ISO YYYY-MM-DD when the date format is recognised, the raw matched date text otherwise, or null when no deadline is stated
snippet	Short plain-text description excerpt (only when includeSnippet is true)

How to scrape University of Copenhagen PhD with this Actor

1. Click Try for free / Run — no login to the target site, no cookies, no proxies to configure.
2. Adjust the input (postedSince, maxItems) or keep the defaults.
3. Run it and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it over the API.

Run it from your own code:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("nomad-jobs/math-ku-phd-scraper").call(run_input={"maxItems": 50})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["title"], "—", item["company"], item["url"])

Or a single HTTP call that runs the Actor and returns items in one response:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/nomad-jobs~math-ku-phd-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"maxItems": 50}'

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
maxItems	integer	25	Maximum number of PhD openings to return (max 500). Each result returned is billed. Set 0 for no limit (all current openings — typically 25-40 at any time).
includeSnippet	boolean	true	Include a plain-text excerpt (up to 400 characters) from the job description in each result.
postedSince	string (date)	(none)	Only return postings published on or after this date. Leave empty to return all currently open positions.
cacheTtlSeconds	integer	1800	(Advanced) Reuse a previously fetched listing if it is younger than this many seconds, instead of fetching it again. Set 0 to always fetch fresh.

Output example

{
  "id": "164715",
  "title": "PhD fellowship in fault tolerant quantum algorithms",
  "company": "University of Copenhagen",
  "location": "Copenhagen, Denmark",
  "url": "https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=164715",
  "postedAt": "2026-06-28T00:00:00Z",
  "deadline": "2026-07-12",
  "snippet": "PhD fellowship in fault tolerant quantum algorithms PhD Project in state preparation, observable extraction or noise modelling Niels Bohr Institute Faculty of Science University of Copenhagen..."
}

deadline is null for the small minority of postings whose text doesn't state an explicit date near the word "deadline".

Pricing
