Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Genetic Regulation of Plasma Proteome and Cardiometabolic Disease

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the Hansen Group. The successful candidate will work on a project that integrates high-throughput mass spectrometry-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.


The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for examining baseline and longitudinal associations between the MS-based plasma proteome and cardiometabolic disease outcomes using registry-based data. They will also perform a GWAS of the MS-based plasma proteome to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) and examine the overlap between pQTLs and cardiometabolic disease-associated risk variants using colocalization methods.


The ideal candidate will have a PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genomics or a related field. They will also have experience in applying statistical methods to proteomic and/or genomic data and working with large genomic datasets.


The postdoctoral researcher will work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment with researchers from the Hansen Group and other departments at the University of Copenhagen. They will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of novel research methods and tools and to publish their research in high-impact journals.


The University of Copenhagen is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds. The successful candidate will be employed for a period of 3 years and will have the opportunity to apply for further funding and support.
