Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

Københavns Universitet (KU) Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

The University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoc fellow to commence on a project that integrates high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS)-based plasma proteomics data with electronic health registry data, along with genetic information from 4,180 Greenlandic individuals.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have laid the framework for understanding the impact of genetic variation on complex disease risk. The Postdoc will work on identifying protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) and examining the overlap between pQTLs and cardiometabolic disease-associated risk variants using colocalization methods.

About Us

Københavns Universitet (KU) is an academic research institution that pioneers groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, KU aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies.

Job Description
  • Examine baseline and longitudinal associations between the MS-based plasma proteome and cardiometabolic disease outcomes using registry-based data.
  • Perform a GWAS of the MS-based plasma proteome to identify protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs).
  • Examine the overlap between pQTLs and cardiometabolic disease-associated risk variants using colocalization methods.
