Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Parasite Immunology

We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will work on exploring how the gut environment shapes type-2 immunity, with a focus on parasite infection and immunological responses.

About the Position

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of the Parasites, Immunology and Gut Health (PIGH) group, a multidisciplinary team embedded within the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. The group is interested in understanding the interactions between dietary components, the gut microbiota, and type-2 immunity, which is critical for protection against helminth parasites but can also cause pathologies such as allergies when dysregulated.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct research on host-pathogen-microbiome interactions and nutritional immunology
  • Develop and implement experimental parasite infections of mice and in vitro work with organoids and/or cell lines
  • Analyze immunological responses, including multiparameter flow cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing
  • Contribute to the development of novel therapies to prevent infection and disease in animals and humans
Requirements
  • PhD in parasitology or immunology
  • Experience with experimental animal models and immunology techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISA, qPCR, and Western Blotting
  • Demonstrated record of peer-reviewed publications, preferably including first-author publications
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in teams
What We Offer

The University of Copenhagen offers a dynamic and international research environment, with modern laboratories and animal facilities. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team and contribute to the development of novel therapies to prevent infection and disease in animals and humans.

How to Apply

To apply, please submit your application, including a motivated letter of application, CV, and a certified copy of your PhD certificate and Master of Science certificate. The application deadline is 25 October 2024, 23:59pm CET.
