Postdoctoral Researcher in Cardiometabolic Disease Genetics
2 weeks ago
About the Job
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Hansen Group, part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR), University of Copenhagen.
The CBMR is an academic research center pioneering groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research, we aim to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies.
Our Research Focus
In the molecular understanding of metabolic diseases, a major gap exists between basic genetic and microbiome discoveries and their impact on physiology and the potential for clinical translation. Our group aims to bridge this gap by connecting genomic discoveries and epidemiology with physiology and clinical application.
Job Responsibilities
- Examine baseline and longitudinal associations between plasma proteome and cardiometabolic disease outcomes using registry-based data.
- Perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of the 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 and contribute to scientific papers.
Requirements and Qualifications
- PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genomics or similar field.
- Proficiency in high-level programming languages 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 of scientific productivity in peer-reviewed journals.
- Strong coordination skills and excellent English communication skills.
Eligibility Criteria
The Postdoctoral fellowship is open to 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.
