About Our Team
The Gerhart-Hines Group is part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research at the University of Copenhagen. Our vision is to pioneer groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. We aim to lead collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, transforming the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerating its translation into prevention and treatment strategies.
As a member of our team, you will be part of an international, highly collaborative research environment across a range of biomedical disciplines. You will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research, work with state-of-the-art technologies and facilities, and foster your professional development in a supportive and dynamic environment.
Job Description
This research project focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolite transport into and out of mitochondria in relation to the thermogenic function of adipocytes. The candidate will engage in a multifaceted approach, including in vitro and ex vivo assessment of mitochondrial structure and function, as well as interrogating various aspects of adipocyte biology and metabolic flux. In vivo metabolic phenotyping will also play a significant role in the project, providing insights into how these molecular mechanisms impact overall metabolic health.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- PhD in biochemistry, molecular biomedicine, cell biology, nutrition, or related sciences
- Excellent scientific track record (i.e., publications, training) in relation to career stage
- Profound knowledge on biochemistry and cellular signaling in relation to energy metabolism
- Profound experimental skills in interrogating mitochondrial and adipocyte functions
