Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc with a PhD to join our research team at the University of Copenhagen. The position is available in the Merino Group, which investigates how molecular and environmental factors modulate variable metabolic responses to therapeutic interventions with special emphasis on precision diabetes prevention.

The successful candidate will work on innovative research projects to identify distinct subtypes of type 2 diabetes. Leveraging two recently awarded, large-scale EU grants, the candidate will conduct in-depth subtyping based on comprehensive phenotype data, including wearables, molecular markers, and behavioral factors.

This critical role will drive advancements in precision diabetes medicine by uncovering novel insights into the complex disease. The ideal candidate will be at the forefront of data-driven discovery, delving into vast wearable and metabolic phenotype data repositories. By integrating these rich datasets with cutting-edge omics technologies, including genomics and metagenomics, they will contribute to groundbreaking research with the potential to improve diabetes prevention and management.

Terms of Employment

The employment as postdoc is a full-time and fixed-term position for 3 years. Starting date is December 1, 2024, or after agreement.
