4 days ago


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

We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic researcher to join our team at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will have a PhD in life sciences or a related field and experience in mouse model generation and genetics.

The focus of our research is epigenetic dynamics and function in germ cell biology. We use both in vivo and in vitro systems of mammalian gametogenesis to study the role of the epigenome in germ cells and elucidate general epigenetic principles using this unique biological system.

We strive for an open, collaborative and collegial work environment that provides ample mentorship and training opportunities to further each member's individual career goals. As a research scientist in our group, you will design experimental strategies, generate and analyze complex datasets, and write scientific manuscripts. Additional tasks may include contributing to grant applications, research-based supervision of MSc and PhD students, teaching undergraduate courses, and outreach communication activities.

Required skills and qualifications:

  • PhD in life sciences or a related field
  • Experience in mouse model generation and genetics
  • Active interest in epigenetics, genome regulation, or gametogenesis
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams
  • Excellent English skills written and spoken

Benefits:

The Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine offers an ambitious scientific environment with many different nationalities represented. ICMM aims to produce research with high international impact focusing on the functional cell, its genetic components, and molecular cellular mechanisms in a medical context.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories, dedicated facilities for flow cytometry, imaging, next-generation sequencing including single-cell genomics, and state-of-the-art embryology facilities for mouse and human research.
