Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

The Kummer group at the University of Copenhagen is a leading research team in the field of viral replication systems. Our lab focuses on understanding how human herpes viruses sustain and propagate their genetic information.

We are seeking an excellent postdoctoral researcher with expertise in biochemical, biophysical, and structural characterization of nucleic acid binding proteins. Your project will investigate how human herpes viruses replicate their genome during lytic infection and how this process can be inhibited.

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on an exciting and challenging project that will profit from your enthusiasm, creativity, and willingness to implement new methodology.

You will join a collaborative and international work environment with access to state-of-the-art electron microscopy infrastructure at CFIM, including Glacios and Krios TEM, multiple vitrification devices, and a Helios Hydra PFIB-SEM.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop project-specific experimental strategies, techniques, and procedures
  • Assist PI with training lab members
  • Contribute to writing and dissemination of research results

We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:

  • PhD in biology, biochemistry, or a related field
  • Proficiency in recombinant protein expression and purification
  • Substantial expertise in biochemical, biophysical, and molecular biology techniques
  • Prior experience in cryo-electron microscopy sample preparation, data acquisition, and analysis
