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 cardiometabolic health and disease. This is a 4-year position with a start date of January 1, 2023, or upon agreement.

Background
The vision of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research is to strengthen interdisciplinary research that transforms our understanding of the mechanisms underlying metabolic health and disease and then apply this knowledge to new prevention and treatment strategies.

The Center has approximately 260 employees working across a wide range of biomedical disciplines in a highly collaborative, international research environment. 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
