Researcher in Cellular Models of Neurodevelopmental Delay

2 months ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

The University of Copenhagen seeks a highly motivated and dynamic researcher to join its team at the Department of Neuroscience. The position involves studying cellular models of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy using live cell imaging of neuronal activity.

Job Description:

This project aims to detect consequences of disease mutation on the circuit level using imaging methods, which will be amenable to drug discovery. Our research group focuses on understanding the mechanism of neurotransmitter release in chemical synapses and the molecular basis for neurodevelopmental diseases and epilepsy.

We study these properties using an interdisciplinary approach, combining human induced pluripotent stem cell (hIPSC)-derived neurons or mouse neurons with microscopy, electrophysiology, and omics methods. Our group is international and based on teamwork and interdisciplinarity, collaborating with clinicians and patient groups.

Required Skills and Qualifications:
  • PhD or equivalent degree in natural or medical science.
  • An excellent scientific track record.
  • Solid experience with cell culture methods.
  • Experience in fluorescence microscopy.
  • Enthusiastic, highly motivated, and self-starter.
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams.
  • Excellent English skills written and spoken.
Benefits:

The place of employment is at the Department of Neuroscience, Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories within the Mærsk Tower.

The average weekly working hours are 37 hours per week. The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of two (2) years. Starting date is December 1st, 2024, or after agreement.

Salary: approximately €51,300 per year (based on a 38,500 DKK monthly salary).
