København N
A 2-year postdoctoral position is open from June 1st 2020or as soon as possible thereafter, in the project MICROGRAD: A new generation of microfluidics-based methods to study genetic and functional effects of complex spatiotemporal gradients in tumor microenvironments.
Research environment
The project is a highly interdisciplinary collaboration between four groups, located at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science (Prof. Albin Sandelin, Prof. Stine F. Pedersen,), the Technical University of Denmark (Assoc. Prof. Rodolphe Marie) and Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Berlin (Prof. Ute Resch-Genger). The candidate will be based in Albin Sandelin’s group, but will work closely with the other groups, especially two postdoctoral fellows hired in parallel in the Falsig Pedersen and Marie groups. Together, the groups employ multiple postdocs, PhD students, and undergraduate students and provide a strong, international research environment.
Research project and postdoc qualifications
The tumor microenvironment fundamentally impacts tumor cell behavior, but cannot currently be accurately mimicked in vitro. This project will develop and apply a new generation of microfluidic devices that allow constitution of spatiotemporally precise gradients of acidosis and hypoxia, key properties of the tumor microenvironment. The devices will be validated using fluorescent reporters, and will be used to determine the phenotypic and RNA expression responses of tumor cells to the tumor microenvironment.
The postdoc will be responsible for all work on this project in the Sandelin lab and for coordinating the close collaboration with the three other groups. In particular, the focus will be to optimizing methods to measure RNA expression from wells in the microfluidics device using spatial transcriptomics. The Sandelin laboratory is a joint wet and dry lab focusing on medical and fundamental transcriptomics (see www.sandelinlab.org). Highlights from the lab include:
The ideal candidate has a background in RNA/molecular biology and/or genomics and strong expertise in methods development in genomics. Expertise in biophysics, microfluidics, bioinformatics and/or cancer biology is an advantage.
Other essential requirements are a PhD in a life science field, a documented track record of strong scientific publications, and excellent written and spoken English. The candidate must be able to work autonomously as well as in a team and have a passion for working in a highly interdisciplinary environment.
Further information on the Department is linked at http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor Albin Sandelin ([email protected]).
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
The starting salary is currently up to DKK 434.179 including annual supplement (+ pension up to DKK 74.244). Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
The application, in English, must be submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.
