About Københavns Universitet (KU)

Københavns Universitet (KU) is a leading international university located in the heart of Copenhagen. The University of Copenhagen has a long tradition of academic excellence, and our researchers are among the best in the world.

We are currently seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Hansen Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on an exciting project that integrates high-throughput mass spectrometry-based plasma proteomics data with electronic health registry data, along with genetic information from 4,180 Greenlandic individuals.

About the Project

The project aims to drive the discovery of novel clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The successful candidate will be responsible for examining baseline and longitudinal associations between the MS-based plasma proteome and cardiometabolic disease outcomes using registry-based data, performing a GWAS of the MS-based plasma proteome to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs), examining the overlap between pQTLs and cardiometabolic disease-associated risk variants using colocalization methods, coordinating project-related tasks, and contributing to scientific papers.

Required Qualifications

  • PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genomics or similar
  • Proficiency in a high-level programming language such as R or Python
  • Experience in applying statistical methods to proteomic and/or genomic data
  • Experience working with large genomic datasets
  • Proven track record showing scientific productivity in peer-reviewed journals
  • Strong coordination skills
  • Excellent English communication skills, both written and oral
