Postdoctoral Researcher in Adipose Mitochondrial Biology
4 weeks ago
The University of Copenhagen is a leading international university with a strong commitment to advancing knowledge and research. Our researchers are engaged in groundbreaking research across a range of biomedical disciplines, aiming to pioneer new discoveries and drive innovation.
At the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, we focus on understanding the core molecular signalling pathways that regulate energy balance. Our team delves into the regulation and functionality of emerging therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic diseases, adopting a multidisciplinary approach to utilize state-of-the-art technologies and facilities.
Job DescriptionThis research project aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolite transport into and out of mitochondria in relation to the thermogenic function of adipocytes. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for identifying new therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
We are seeking an experienced Postdoc fellow to 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.
This research project presents an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of adipose mitochondrial biology. The successful candidate will have the chance to work closely with renowned experts globally, fostering their development as a researcher and contributing to the advancement of our understanding of cardiometabolic diseases.
Required Qualifications- PhD in biochemistry, molecular biomedicine, cell biology, nutrition, or related sciences
- Excellent scientific track record (i.e., publications, training) in relation to career stage
- Profound knowledge on biochemistry and cellular signaling in relation to energy metabolism
- Profound experimental skills in interrogating mitochondrial and adipocyte functions
- Specific expertise in using the Seahorse Bioscience analyzer and Oroboros Oxygraph are required
- Basic knowledge on metabolic diseases, including obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes
- A FELASA or equivalent certification for animal experimentation is desirable
The employment as Postdoc is a full-time position for 16 months. Starting date is December 1, 2024, or after agreement. Salary: DKK 476,736 per year, including pension and other benefits. Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. Non-Danish and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark for the past 10 years.
The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020. We offer a dynamic and collaborative work environment, opportunities for professional growth and development, and a comprehensive benefits package. If you are a highly motivated and skilled scientist looking for a challenging and rewarding research experience, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
