Description

We are seeking a PhD fellow to apply proteomics strategies to investigate molecular changes in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy. The PhD fellow shall focus on experimental and analytical strategies within quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics to outline molecular cardiac changes associated with the disease. The fellow will work with human and animal tissue samples as well as perform cell based work. The position provides an opportunity to develop expertise in quantitative mass spectrometry, cutting-edge discovery proteomics and integrative analysis of human, animal and cell based studies.

The candidate will be part of the Cardiac Proteomics group led by Professor Alicia Lundby at the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The research focus of the Cardiac Proteomics group is to use high-resolution LC-MS/MS to obtain insights beyond the current molecular understanding of the heart; both at the level of protein expression, as well as phosphorylation mediated protein signaling. We work closely together with cardiologists to ensure high impact and translatability of our research.

Responsibilities and Tasks

The successful candidate will:

  • Perform unbiased data-driven investigations of cardiac tissue samples to quantify protein and signaling changes in hearts in connection to ARVC.
  • Perform proximity ligation proteomics experiments in an animal model of ARVC.
  • Perform method studies to evaluate feasibility of quantitative investigations from clinical heart samples.
  • Make biological interpretation of data and communicate the results internally and externally.
  • The successful candidate will be working in a team of scientists across multiple scientific fields focused on improving our molecular understanding of cardiac pathophysiology and to solve fundamental challenges in cardiac research.

Qualifications

  • Master degree in Biochemistry or equivalent
  • Hands-on experience in high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
  • Experience with Cardiac Proteomics
  • Hands-on experience with proximity ligation proteomics
  • Practical skills in protein chemistry and cell culture
  • Experience with quantitative proteomics experiments
  • Ability and enthusiasm to learn new methods/techniques
  • Good communication skills in English, both oral and written
  • Highly ambitious and self-driven
  • Previously demonstrated a capacity for excellence
  • Experience with proteomics data analysis (such as MaxQuant, Perseus, R)
  • Proven experience in high throughput large-scale datasets

  • Strong work ethics and team player mentality

The preferred applicant will possess an excellent academic track record and solid research experience and be highly motivated to perform science to extract novel findings of importance to cardiac (patho)physiology.

We offer

  • An interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on cardiac research with state of the art facilities.
  • A challenging and stimulating work environment, at the edge of IT technologies and the latest research innovations
  • Start date: September 1 2021


You will become part of a research environment spanning cardiologists, geneticists performing next generation sequencing on cardiac patient samples, experimental groups performing follow-up experiments in model organisms such as zebrafish, mouse and pig as well as molecular biologists. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility.

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union.

Workplace and period of employment
The Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The period of employment is 3 years.
