København N
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic Assistant Professor who will join the Circadian Biology in the Zierath Group for a 4-year position to the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research to commence 15 November 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.
You will join a multi-disciplinary research team working on basic and applied research questions related to circadian rhythms, metabolism and exercise. You will work both independently and collaboratively across this team and the Center to produce world-leading research in the field of Circadian Metabolism.
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 aim of the Zierath group is to investigate the interactions between intrinsic biorhythms and external perturbations such as exercise and nutrient provision to identify novel translational strategies for prevention and treatment of metabolic disease. You can read more about the work of the group here.
The group is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary, with established expertise in transcriptomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and metabolic phenotyping across a range of experimental models (cells, rodents, and humans).
Your job
Circadian rhythms are driven by an internal biological clock that is synchronized by Zeitgebers (time-keepers) that anticipate day/night cycles to optimize the physiology and behavior of organisms. The circadian program is regulated at both a central and peripheral level, and cell autonomous circadian rhythms are generated by a transcriptional auto-regulatory feedback loop. A basic paradigm of circadian regulation of metabolism is that oscillations of gene expression generate daily rhythms in cellular metabolism. While disrupted circadian rhythms alter metabolism, the extent to which these processes are impaired in humans with obesity or type 2 diabetes is unknown.
The main objectives of this Assistant Professor position are to 1) determine the how post-translational modifications regulate circadian rhythms in metabolism, 2) develop proteomics methods to study protein dynamics and post-translational modifications in the context of type 2 diabetes and circadian metabolism, 3)investigate how the circadian metabolism is disrupted in type 2 diabetes, and 4) work collaboratively across research groups and institutions to accelerate the delivery of research deliverables within the Zierath Group.
The Assistant Professor will adopt multi-disciplinary approaches, integrating cell-based systems, animal models and humans to investigate the bidirectional relationship between the circadian clock and metabolism in type 2 diabetes. This project will include usage of mitochondrial respirometry, microscopy, and various “omics” approaches (e.g. proteomics, transcriptomic and metabolomics) as well as bioinformatics tools.
The Assistant Professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:
