Odense, Odense Kommune, Denmark University of Southern Denmark Full time

Job Description

The DNRF Center of Excellence at the University of Southern Denmark is looking for a PhD scholarship candidate passionate about applying mass spectrometry-based functional proteomics to explore tissue plasticity at a molecular and cellular level. This position will be open from 1 September 2024.

Application deadline: 19 June 2024 at 23:59 local Danish time

The Center for Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity, ATLAS, led by Prof. Susanne Mandrup, aims to understand adipose and hepatic tissue plasticity in response to diet-induced obesity and regression in mouse models. They also aim to apply this knowledge to human tissues affected by severe obesity. The center utilizes next-generation sequencing, mouse models, proteomics, in vivo targeting, computational biology, and clinical studies.

Qualifications/Requirements
The PhD position, based in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Southern Denmark, will involve studying cellular plasticity in liver and adipose tissues using functional proteomics and advanced computational methods. We are seeking a motivated scientist with strong communication skills and experience in mass spectrometry-based proteomics. A degree in Life Sciences, preferably with a background in proteomics, molecular biology, biomedicine, or systems biology is required. Additional experience in cell and molecular biology techniques, as well as computational data analysis, is highly valued. Proficiency in both spoken and written English is essential.

What We Offer

  • A stimulating and supportive international research environment for your PhD studies
  • Access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities
  • Opportunity to collaborate with a network of national and international partners
  • Competitive salary and social benefits included

For more information, please contact Prof. Blagoy Blagoev.

The appointment is for a three-year PhD Research Fellow position. The successful candidate will be employed according to the agreement on salaried PhD scholars. The applicant must be enrolled in the university as per the PhD Programme regulations.

To apply, a Declaration of Interest is required, including:

  • Research proposal for the project
  • Letter of motivation
  • Detailed CV and academic transcripts
  • Two reference letters

Note: Shortlisting may be used during the assessment process. Incomplete applications and late submissions will not be considered.
