The applicants must complement existing Research Groups and align with the Center’s overarching research strategy. Preference is given to applicants with a background in metabolomics (metabolic flux analysis), cardiovascular pathophysiology, and the central regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis.

Job description
The applicant shall be heading an independent Research Group at CBMR and will be expected to conduct research aligned with the Center's strategy. Preference is given to applicants with a background in metabolomics (metabolic flux analysis), cardiovascular pathophysiology and the central regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis.

The Associate Professor’s or Professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:

  • Research, including publication/academic dissemination, in close collaboration with other Research Groups within CBMR and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
  • Research-based teaching, including associated examination
  • Research leadership, including guidance and supervision of researchers
  • Obligation to share knowledge with the rest of society, including participation in public debate
  • Academic assessments

Required qualifications
To qualify for an Associate Professor or Professor position, you will be assessed according to these six overall criteria for recognising merit at the University of Copenhagen: research, teaching, societal impact, organisational contribution, external funding, and leadership.

Furthermore, the successful Associate Professor must be able to document:

  • Research-based teaching

Furthermore, the successful Professor must be able to document:

  • A high degree of original academic production at an international level, including considerable contributions to the development of the academic discipline
  • Research management and other management functions, e.g., engagement in the university’s external academic activities, as well as knowledge and technology transfer
  • Research-based teaching

The Associate Professor or Professor is also required to possess excellent interpersonal and communicative skills.

In considering applications for the Professorship or Associate Professorship, the main emphasis will be on the applicant’s ability to document an outstanding research and publication record, including the ability to attract research funding. The Center offers a supportive and vibrant scientific community, and the candidate should possess the ability to work collaboratively with other scientists and the scholarly qualities required for supervising graduate students.

Terms of employment
The position is a fixed-term position for a period of five years, with the scope for contract renewal.

Salary and other terms and conditions of appointment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations) or other relevant professional organisations.

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

  • Research plan (3–5 pages)
  • Uploads of maximum 10 publications to be considered in the assessment

Application procedure
After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Appointments Committee. All applicants are then immediately notified whether their application has been passed for assessment. The Dean then appoints an expert assessment committee in order to make an assessment of the selected applicants for the specific post. Selected applicants are notified of the composition of the committee and each applicant has the opportunity to comment on the part of the assessment that relates to the applicant him/herself. You can read about the recruitment process at the University's Job Portal.
