% Set the copyright license. The possible choices are 'restricted' to reserve all rights or a Creative Commons license.
% See https://creativecommons.org/choose/ for information on choosing a license.
% The supported Creative Commons licenses are 'cc-by', 'cc-by-sa', 'cc-by-nd', 'cc-by-nc', 'cc-by-nc-sa', and 'cc-by-nc-nd'.
\setlicense{choose} % Choose 'restricted' or any of the 'cc-by...'.
% If a Creative Commons license is chosen, the corresponding license information can be added to the PDF metadata.
% For this, the package 'doclicense' needs to be uncommented below.
% Furthermore, the 'modifier' option of 'doclicense' needs to mirror the chosen Creative Commons license.
\usepackage[type={CC},modifier={by-nc-sa},version={4.0},hyperxmp=false]{doclicense} % Sets the license metadata. See copyright licensing below.
% If no Creative Commons license is chosen, then the appropriate copyright text and (potentially empty) URL must be entered manually.
% For this, edit the command \Copyright{...} and \CopyrightURL{...} in the filecontents* environment of \jobname.xmpdata below.
% The pdfx package throws an error when utilizing the \xspace command inside the XMP metadata generation.
% Since \xspace is utilized by the \doclicenseLongTextForHyperref command of the doclicense package, a workaround is implemented below.
% It defines a \doclicenseLongTextForHyperrefFixed command that can be used instead of \doclicenseLongTextForHyperref.
\begingroup
\renewcommand{\xspace}{\space} % Temporarily replace \xspace with \space.
\xdef\doclicenseLongTextForHyperrefFixed{\doclicenseLongTextForHyperref} % Expand the \doclicenseLongTextForHyperref and define the fixed version globally.

The following is an entirely fictional blurb to give you an idea:\\
Jane Doe completed a BSc in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Cell Biology at the University of Edinburgh before joining ISTA in September 2016.
Her main research interests include evolution of genetic traits and environmental pressures on evolution.
She worked on the research project ``Mathematical Modeling of Evolutionary Constraints'' with the
Abel group at the University of Vienna in the summer of 2014, and published these results in the high-impact journal Evolutionary Biology.
During her PhD studies, Jane also presented her research results at the EvoBIO conference in Parma in 2018 and helped develop the tool EVOBOT for modeling evolutionary constraints, currently hosted by ISTA.}
