Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time
Job Title: Postdoc in Molecular PharmacologyAbout the Position

The Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for a 3-year postdoctoral research position in molecular pharmacology.

We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc with a strong profile in molecular pharmacology of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to join our team.

About the Research Project

The project, titled "Pleiotropic effects — from drug targets to drug actions", is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, Sapere Aude, and aims to characterize the interplay between naturally occurring variations in prominent drug targets and clinical phenotypes for personalized target and treatment selection using pharmacogenomics.

As a postdoc, you will work in the Molecular Pharmacology group led by Associate Professor Alexander S. Hauser, contributing to the development of novel pharmacological tools and approaches for personalized medicine.

About the Group

The Molecular Pharmacology group focuses on harnessing the explosion of biomedical data in genomics, structural biology, and pharmacology to tackle some of the currently most sought-after questions in the GPCR field.

We work on the pharmacological and physiological characterization of GPCRs, from dissecting molecular mechanisms of action to understanding the physiological role and therapeutic potential of these receptors.

Requirements

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

  • PhD in pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences or related science
  • Highly experienced in mammalian cell culture
  • Experienced in assay development and molecular pharmacological characterization of membrane receptors
  • Demonstrated ability to independently learn new concepts and solve biological problems
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in interdisciplinary teams

Working Conditions

The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of 3 years. The starting date is December 1st 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The place of employment is at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment and support postdocs for their next career steps with an ambiguous mentoring program.

Applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark the last 10 years.
