Mitochondrial Biologist

About Our Team:

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research's vision is to pioneer groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. We wish 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.

We are seeking an experienced Postdoc fellow to join our team and contribute to our research efforts. 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.

• The candidate will work closely with renowned experts globally and have access to state-of-the-art technologies and facilities.
• A multidisciplinary approach will be adopted to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolite transport into and out of mitochondria in relation to the thermogenic function of adipocytes.

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:

• 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.
• Specific expertise in using the Seahorse Bioscience analyzer and Oroboros Oxygraph are required.
