Do you want to do research in eating disorders? Do you wish to pursue research in a clinical research multidisciplinary international environment?
The Center for Research in Eating and Feeding Disorders (CEDaR) at Mental Health Center Ballerup seeks a postdoctoral researcher to join a strong international research environment in eating disorders, starting from October 2024 or soon thereafter. The position will be offered at 80-100% FTE and initially for one year, with the possibility of an extension to a total of 5 years.
The position
You will contribute to a large grant on risk and resilience for the development of eating disorders. You will have diverse tasks and responsibilities, including developing new study protocols, project management, data analysis, and writing manuscripts in collaboration with in-house staff.
You will lead/co-lead ongoing projects on metabolic correlates of eating disorders and related disorders, body composition, overlap between eating disorders and other physical conditions, amongst others.
You will benefit from an existing large network of collaborations both within Denmark and abroad.
You will join a dynamic and growing team and work across the Center for Eating and Feeding Disorders Research-CEDaR. The team is multidisciplinary and international. There are several other projects ongoing.
Tasks
You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of relevant projects as part of a large Novo Nordisk Foundation grant to Prof Micali. You will carry out data analyses, contribute to refining research questions, lead interpretation of data, and manuscript writing.
In this position, you will supervise/line manage junior colleagues (PhD students, interns, etc.) and you will therefore be able to develop your research and people management skills as the next step in your career. You will report to the Head of CEDaR (Prof Nadia Micali).
Depending on your seniority, you might be required to perform management and leadership tasks.
Environment
The Center for Eating and Feeding Disorders Research (CEDaR) is a multicultural and multidisciplinary team recently set up with a large portfolio of grants, across epidemiological, genetic, neuroimaging, and clinical intervention studies in feeding and eating disorders. We are a dynamic, collaborative, and international team that is rapidly growing. The unit has several international collaborations with the UK, US, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland.
Research in eating disorders is a highly prioritized research area of the Mental Health Services in the Capital Region of Denmark. We have a strong commitment to perform research at the highest international level with the aim of providing new insights into what causes eating disorders and better treatments for patients.
Qualifications
The ideal applicant:
- Will be highly motivated to drive and pursue research in eating disorders.
- Has a PhD in human metabolism, physiology of under-weight/obesity, or eating disorders.
- Expertise in assessing, researching body composition and metabolism.
- Is an enthusiastic researcher, with experience in designing and carrying out research in eating disorders/human metabolism/obesity.
- Has proven skills in effective project management and co-ordination.
- Has experience in managing junior colleagues.
- Has excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
- Has published peer-reviewed data-based papers.
You must demonstrate original academic production, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in English. Participation in international networks and collaboration with researchers and key institutions within eating disorders and human metabolism is an advantage.
Conditions:

The position is in accordance with best Danish labour practices, including a 37-hour work week, six weeks of paid vacation per annum, funded parental leave, matched pension contributions, enrolment in national healthcare, and labour union representation.
The position is funded by a Novo Nordisk Foundation grant to Prof Micali and initially offered for a fixed-term of one year with the possibility of an extension. Non-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.
