Mitochondrial Research Fellow
1 month ago
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen is seeking an experienced researcher to join the Gerhart-Hines Group as a Postdoctoral Fellow.
**Company Overview**
We are a leading research institution dedicated to pioneering groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Our vision is to lead collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, transforming the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerating its translation into prevention and treatment strategies.
**Job Description**
This research project focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolite transport into and out of mitochondria in relation to the thermogenic function of adipocytes. The successful candidate will engage in a multifaceted approach, including in vitro and ex vivo assessment of mitochondrial structure and function, as well as interrogating various aspects of adipocyte biology and metabolic flux. In vivo metabolic phenotyping will also play a significant role in the project, providing insights into how these molecular mechanisms impact overall metabolic health.
**Required Skills and Qualifications**
To be considered for this position, you should have a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biomedicine, cell biology, nutrition, or related sciences. You must have excellent scientific track record and profound knowledge on biochemistry and cellular signaling in relation to energy metabolism. Profound experimental skills in interrogating mitochondrial and adipocyte functions are also essential. Specific expertise in using the Seahorse Bioscience analyzer and Oroboros Oxygraph are required. A curious and innovative mindset with strong self-motivation to develop new knowledge and treatment for complex cardiometabolic diseases is highly valued.
**Salary and Benefits**
The employment as Postdoc is a full-time position for 16 months. Starting date is negotiable. Salary and pension terms will be in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated.
**Other Information**
The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020. We offer a dynamic and international working environment with access to state-of-the-art technologies and facilities. As a successful candidate, you will be part of a supportive and collaborative team committed to fostering the development of early-career researchers. If you are motivated, enthusiastic, and willing to learn, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
