Postdoc in cell biologyDeadline 3 Feb 2025, 23:59 CET
Expected start 1 Apr 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine - The Lene N. Nejsum Group, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 11, 8200 Aarhus N
Fixed term full-time position from 1 Apr 2025 to 31 Mar 2026, ID: 16993
The Department of Clinical Medicine at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University invites applications for a position as Postdoc in the field of aquaporin water channels and bacterial infection. The position is a fixed-term full-time position for 12 months with the possibility of extension.
As a postdoc at the Department of Clinical Medicine, you will be part of what is probably the largest health science research department in Denmark. Our clinical research covers all medical specialties and takes place in close collaboration with the university hospital and the regional hospitals in the Central Denmark Region. We have approx. 30,000 square meters of modern research facilities for experimental surgery and medicine, animal facilities, and advanced scanners at our disposal. The department has overall responsibility for the Master's degree programs in medicine and molecular medicine. We are approx. 670 academic employees, 500 PhD students, and 160 technical/administrative employees cooperating across disciplines. You will be working at Aarhus University Hospital or another hospital in the Central Denmark Region.
About the research projectVasopressin (VP) signaling enhances reabsorption of water through the plasma membrane of kidney collecting duct principal cells by regulating the redistribution of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) from cytoplasmic vesicles to the apical plasma membrane. We recently discovered that upon bacterial infection, AQP2 plasma membrane accumulation increases, independently of the VP-mediated canonical pathway. The project aims to dissect the molecular mechanisms involved in this alternative uncharacterized pathway.
Your job responsibilitiesAs Postdoc in cell biology, your position is primarily research-based but may also involve teaching assignments. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. In your daily work, you will work closely with colleagues on your project, where you will receive supervision and guidance.
Your main tasks will consist of:
- Independent research of high international quality, including publication.
- Grant writing.
- Supervision of students.
You will report to Professor Lene N. Nejsum.
Your competencesYou have academic qualifications at PhD level, for example within the following areas: cell biology, immunology, or molecular biology. As a person, you have good interpersonal skills, are inclusive and team-oriented, and able to contribute to a good work environment. We expect you to be fluent in oral and written English.
Specific expectations for the position include:
- A proven track record with first-author publications.
- Experience with scientific writing and peer reviewing journal articles.
- Experience supervising students.
- Experience presenting at international conferences.
- Experience with writing research grant applications will also be an advantage as it is expected that the candidate actively participates in grant writing.
