About Us

We are a leading interdisciplinary research group focused on pioneering research towards better cardiometabolic health. Our goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms regulating energy balance and thermogenesis.

We have around 260 employees working in an international, highly collaborative research environment. We offer a supportive and collaborative environment for early-career researchers to develop their skills.

This research project seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate metabolite transport into and out of mitochondria in relation to the thermogenic function of adipocytes.

Required Skills:

  • 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
  • Specific expertise in using the Seahorse Bioscience analyzer and Oroboros Oxygraph are required.
  • A curious and innovative mindset with strong self-motivation to develop new knowledge and treatment for complex cardiometabolic diseases
