Postdoc in Ribosome Specialization in Colorectal Cancer at the Biotech Research and Innovation
2 weeks ago
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc for a 3-year position to join the Lund Group.
Our research
Our team aims to understand how ribosome specialization leads to the instalment of translational programs and how these processes are hijacked in human disease. Due to the central role of the ribosome in many biological processes, we use a broad panel of model systems, including human stem cells, neuronal cultures, and 2D and 3D cultures of human cells and patient samples.
The team is highly international, and we have a broad range of local and international collaborators. We believe that cooperation and collegiality are essential elements for research successes.
The project
You will join the Lund Group focusing on ribosome heterogeneity and specialized translation. We use a broad array of wet lab and computational techniques and develop new techniques to push our research forward. We highly value collaboration and co-creation and you will have freedom to co-develop the project. Your project will be to explore how pathological translation programs contribute to the development of colorectal cancer. You will use both mouse and human organoid cultures, and key techniques will likely involve ribosome profiling, RiboMeth-seq and mass spectrometry. The methods are established in the laboratory or available through core facilities.
Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:
Essential experience and skills:
- You have a PhD in biomedical or natural sciences
- You are highly experienced in molecular and cellular biology
- Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams
- Excellent English skills written and spoken
Desirable experience and skills:
- Prior experience in cancer research is an advantage
- Prior experience in working with protein synthesis/translation is an advantage
- Computational skills would be an advantage
Place of employment
The place of employment is at the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and opportunities for networking and training through our Postdoc Career Program.
Terms of employment
The average weekly working hours are 37 hours per week. The position is fixed-term for a period of 3 years, available now with a start date after agreement. Salary, pension, and other conditions of employment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations) or other relevant organisation. Currently, the monthly salary starts at 38,575 DKK/approx. 5,171 EUR (April 2024 level). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. The employer will pay an additional 17.1% to your pension fund.
Foreign and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark in the last 10 years.
The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020.
