Do you want to contribute with new knowledge on potential effects of Vitamin K on the risk of chronic diseases and healthy aging? Do you have competencies within nutritional epidemiology and working with large epidemiological data? If so, you could be the new postdoc in our team.
The Section for Epidemiology is looking for a postdoctoral researcher starting May 1, 2024.
The position
The successful candidate will join the research group on health effects of Vitamin K and other micronutrients and be the project manager of the project ”Health effects of Vitamin K: towards evidence-based nutrition recommendations and prevention”, which received a grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark. Vitamin K is an essential vitamin for the activation of blood clotting factors and other proteins important to human physiology. There is growing evidence that vitamin K may be important for the prevention of many age-related chronic diseases, however, critical gaps in our knowledge exist. The project aims to characterize the vitamin K content and bioavailability of foods commonly consumed in Denmark to assess dietary intakes more accurately in general population studies. This information will then be used to investigate the potential role of vitamin K for the prevention of chronic diseases; providing the evidence needed for the re-evaluation of recommended intakes of dietary vitamin K. The project brings together an interdisciplinary and international team of researchers, bridging basic science, genetics, and biomarkers with large epidemiological studies linked to the unique Danish registries.
