Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time
Postdoctoral Fellow for Mass Spectrometry Based Proteomics Investigation of Disease Mechanisms

Job Description
The Cardiac Proteomics Group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen seeks to appoint a talented postdoctoral fellow to outline protein regulations involved in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic syndrome. The research fellow will investigate remodeling in hearts from animal models, patient samples as well as cell systems using quantitative proteomics-based approaches to identify molecular changes driving the disease state. The fellow will be part of a collaborative research environment and can expect involvement in multiple projects, covering experimental investigations of cellular and animal disease models in addition to work with human samples.

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our team. Prior experience with mass spectrometry based proteomics is required.

Qualification Requirements

  • Holds a PhD with experience from a relevant field including but not limited to Biotechnology, Biochemistry or Biomedical Sciences.
  • Ambitious, creative, independent and self-driven.
  • Hands-on skills and expert knowledge in one or more of the following areas:
    • Experimental know-how of mass spectrometry-based proteomics (LC-MS/MS).
    • Analytical know-how of mass spectrometry data analysis.
    • Experimental know-how of various types of sample preparations (such as proteomics, PTMomics, clinical proteomics, spatial- or single cell proteomics, secretomics, interactomics using high-resolution mass spectrometry).
    • Experience in quantitative proteomics approaches.
  • Experience in cardiac biology or physiology is an advantage.
  • Good communication skills in English, both oral and written, is a requirement.
  • Willingness to engage in teamwork.

The preferred applicant should have an excellent academic track record, solid research experience and be highly motivated to deploy diverse strategies to extract novel findings of importance to cardiac pathophysiology. Previous research experience in an ambitious research environment is required.

Our Group and Environment
The candidate will be part of the Cardiac Proteomics group led by Professor Lundby at the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The successful candidate will be working in a team of scientists across multiple scientific fields focused on improving our molecular understanding of cardiac pathophysiology. Our facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories and core facilities as well as modern office spaces. The position provides a unique opportunity to develop expertise in cutting-edge quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics, data analysis of large datasets and integration of multi-omics datasets. Striving for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility, we offer creative, friendly and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and strong scientific environment.

Salary and Terms of Employment
The average weekly working hours are 37 hours per week. The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of 2 years. The starting date is 15 February 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. 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 38,500 DKK/approx. 5,100 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 the last 10 years.

The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020.

Workplace and Period of Employment
The workplace is located at Maersk Tower, The Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The period of employment is 2 years with the possibility for extension.
