Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic Researcher to undertake computational and experimental studies at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen.

The position is anchored in the research team of Associate Professor Tune Pers and involves collaborating with Professor Oluf Borbye Pedersen, Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Copenhagen and Gentofte Hospital. Our Group investigates the human genome and the global microbiome to characterize their impact on health and disease.

The current project explores the role of an aberrant gut microbiome and its related untargeted plasma metabolome in the pathogenesis of overt type 2 diabetes. The Researcher will be responsible for undertaking computational and experimental validation of these findings, using advanced wet-lab experience in animal, cellular, and molecular experimentation within the space of metabolism.

The ideal candidate has a PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology or a related field and extensive knowledge of microbiomics and metabolomics. They must also have long-term experience in both competence areas and excellent English communication skills.

We offer a stimulating working environment and opportunities for professional growth. The salary will be in accordance with the Danish collective agreement for PhDs and postdoctoral researchers (AC), approximately €65,000-€75,000 per year, depending on qualifications.

The place of employment is at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, Maersk Tower, Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen.
