København N
Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic researcher for an Assistant Professor position. Candidates should have a strong background in genetic epidemiology, epidemiology or a related field and an interest in metabolic precision health. This is a 4-year position with a start date of February 15, 2022 or upon agreement.
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 research
The Loos Group aims to identify the key genetic and non-genetic determinants of body weight regulation to gain insight into the deeper layers of biology that underlie obesity and metabolism. Additionally, we aim to improve prediction, prevention and treatment through implementation of precision health strategies. You can read more about the Loos Group here.
Your job
The successful candidate will be responsible for setting up a precision health cohort to identify key predictors of metabolic responses to diet and exercise, with the goal of improving the precision of lifestyle recommendations for optimal health. This project requires experience with wearable, mobile and sensor technologies and expertise in generating and integrating multi-modal data to better understand metabolism.
The candidate will contribute to the design and launch of the cohort and will oversee data collection. Importantly, the candidate will formulate innovative research questions, perform analyses of the complex, multi-omics data, infer and validate algorithms and report on the key findings. The candidate should have a strong computational background, ideally with experience in machine learning and integration of multiple -omics data. Experience in nutrition and exercise science is a plus.
The Assistant Professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:
