Postdoctoral Researcher in Genetic Variants and Metabolic Diseases

4 weeks ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen.

About Us

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research is a world-leading research center that aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research on metabolic health and disease. Our vision is to accelerate knowledge toward new prevention and treatment strategies.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will work between the Loos Group and the Schéele Group, using genomic, molecular, and health data to understand how genetic variants contribute to the risk of cardiometabolic disease. You will participate in large-scale gene discovery analyses, bioinformatic analyses, and identify functional variants using CrispR technology on human cell models.

Job Description

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects that aim to translate genetic discoveries into novel biological insights for cardiometabolic outcomes. Your main tasks will include studying genetic variants, identifying functional variants, and exploring them in animal models in collaboration with the Rodent metabolic phenotyping platform at CBMR.

Requirements
  • PhD in Functional Genomics, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Molecular Biomedicine, Computational Biology, or related sciences.
  • Experience in working with transcriptomic or epigenetic data.
  • Expertise in mammalian cell culture.
  • Expertise in microscopy and imaging techniques.
  • Experience in working with human genetic association data.
  • Proven track record showing scientific productivity in peer-reviewed journals.
What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary of approximately €50,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive benefits package, including pension and health insurance. The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020.
