About the Position

The University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Hansen Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). The successful candidate will work on a project that integrates high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS)-based plasma proteomics data with electronic health registry data, along with genetic information from 4,180 Greenlandic individuals to drive the discovery of novel clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic diseases.

Key Responsibilities
  • Examine baseline and longitudinal associations between the MS-based plasma proteome and cardiometabolic disease outcomes using registry-based data.
  • Perform a GWAS of the MS-based plasma proteome to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs).
  • Examine the overlap between pQTLs and cardiometabolic disease-associated risk variants using colocalization methods.
  • Coordinate project-related tasks.
  • Contribute to scientific papers.
Requirements
  • 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.
Eligibility

The Postdoctoral Researcher fellowships within the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program are open for applicants holding a PhD degree awarded from a university outside of Denmark or with a Danish PhD degree who can document at least 12 months of full-time research experience from outside Denmark during or after the PhD studies.

Terms of Employment

The employment as Postdoctoral Researcher is a full-time position for 3 years. Starting date is February 1, 2025, or after agreement.
