We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic researcher to work on genetic sub-segmentation of type 2 diabetes. The position is a fixed-term position of 4 years to start 1 November 2021.

Background

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research’s vision is to strengthen interdisciplinary research that transforms our basic understanding of the mechanisms that underlie metabolic health and disease, and to accelerate this knowledge towards new prevention and treatment strategies. We were established in 2010, and in 2017, we moved into new laboratories, offices and meeting rooms in the Maersk Tower www.maersktower.ku.dk.

The Center has around 260 employees who work in an international, highly collaborative research environment across a range of biomedical disciplines. You can read more about us here www.cbmr.ku.dk.

Our group and research

The Hansen Group investigates the human genome and the human global microbiome, to characterize the impact of these genomes on health and disease, and to identify interactions between the host and the microbiome. The findings can lead to potent translational strategies for prevention and treatment of metabolic disease. You can read more about the Hansen Group here.

Project description

The advertised position is part of the “Closing in on sub-segmentation in type 2 diabetes in the Danish nationwide DD2 cohort” project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation in a Steno National Collaborative Grant. This project aims to investigate clinical biomarkers to classify and predict type 2 diabetes sub-segments, as well as to increase the insight into etiology, pathophysiology, complications, mortality and outcomes of different treatment modalities in these type 2 diabetes sub-segments. Among the biomarkers relevant for sub-segmentation, prognosis, and treatment response prediction is genetics.

Your job

The candidate will be responsible for driving or supervising all genetic research projects initiated within the “Closing in on sub-segmentation in type 2 diabetes in the Danish nationwide DD2 cohort” framework. The candidate is expected to initiate and lead new cutting-edge research projects, as well as contribute to collaborative research projects to enhance and ensure proper interpretation of genetic data. The candidate will function as the bridge builder between the DD2 cohort, University of Copenhagen, and the Steno Diabetes Centers.

In addition, the candidate must have excellent communication and organizational skills as you will contribute to collaborative work with colleagues from the Hansen group and other research groups from the Center and other research institutions.
