Tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor in Metagenomics/Microbiomics

2 weeks ago


København, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

The Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a position as Tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor in Metagenomics/Microbiomics. The position is to be filled by April 1st 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, subject to negotiation.

Description of the position

We are seeking a dedicated and innovative researcher to strengthen our expertise within the development and application of bioinformatic tools for analyzing metagenomes obtained from human and environmental samples. The selected candidate is expected to take a leading role in establishing an externally funded research program within metagenomics/microbiomics, focusing on the development and application of bioinformatic tools for large metagenomic datasets.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading research initiatives and securing external funding
  • Teaching and supervising students at undergraduate, graduate, and PhD levels, with primary course assignments in bioinformatics and biology degree programs
  • Disseminating research and scientific results to the public
  • Participating in departmental committees and other tasks as requested

The selected candidate will join either the Section for Computational & RNA Biology or the Section for Microbiology, depending on the specific profile of the candidate. Regardless of the affiliation, the candidate is expected to explore interdisciplinary collaboration with other sections in the department, as well as with industry and public research institutions when such interactions provide synergistic benefits.

Qualifications/profile

Applicants should have a background in metagenomics/microbiomics, particularly in the analysis of large datasets and/or the development of new tools for this type of analysis. They should have demonstrated the ability to perform independent, original, and hypothesis-driven research at a high international level. Complementarity to current research at the sections is essential. Applicants should be able to contribute to teaching existing BSc and MSc courses in the bioinformatics and biology curricula and help develop novel courses.

Qualifications needed at the Tenure-track Assistant Professor level: The position requires a positive publication trajectory in high-level, international, peer-reviewed ISI journals as well as some personal research grants or a designated (by name) part of major grants. Research plans and publication records should delineate a clear potential for attracting external funding. The candidate must have an academic standing showing internationally competitive research, and/or have high potential to make a future scientific impact at the international level. Documented university level experience in delivering high-quality undergraduate/graduate teaching is not mandatory but will be an advantage. If not already holding formal pedagogical qualifications, candidates are required to obtain pedagogical training equivalent to the University of Copenhagen Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Program for Assistant Professors.

Qualifications needed at the Associate Professor level: The position requires a considerable publication record in high-level, international, peer-reviewed ISI journals as well as a track record of successful external research funding. Candidates are also required to have documented university-level competencies in delivering high-quality undergraduate/graduate teaching and must be able to explain and reflect upon their own teaching practice. Formal pedagogical training or supervision equivalent to the University of Copenhagen teacher training programme is required. Finally, candidates are expected to have managerial and outreach qualifications and experience.

Terms of employment

The position is open from April 1st 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
