About Us

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen is a leading academic research center pioneering groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Our team consists of experts from various fields, including genetics, physiology, and pharmacology, working together to understand the complex interplay of factors that drive cardiometabolic disease.

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic postdoc with a PhD to join our team. The successful candidate will work on innovative research projects to identify distinct subtypes of type 2 diabetes. Leveraging two recently awarded large-scale EU grants, the candidate will conduct in-depth subtyping based on comprehensive phenotype data, including wearables, molecular markers, and behavioral factors.

By analyzing extensive datasets, the candidate will characterize how these subtypes respond differently to preventive interventions and their varying risk of developing complications. This critical role will drive advancements in precision diabetes medicine by uncovering novel insights into the complex of the disease.

Requirements

  • PhD in Data science, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and machine learning.
  • Expertise in handling and analysing data from wearable devices.
  • Previous research experience with continuous glucose monitors is a plus.
  • A strong computational background and expertise in dealing with large datasets, including human genetics.
