We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic researcher with a Ph.D. or equivalent to join the Merino Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen. Candidates should have a strong background in genomics, computational biology, and biostatistics with extensive research experience in the research field related to metabolic diseases. The position is a 3-year position to start March 1, 2024, or after the agreement.

About Us
Our researchers share a common purpose as they seek to transform the basic understanding of the mechanisms involved in cardiometabolic health and disease, and to accelerate this knowledge towards new prevention and treatment strategies.

The Center has around 260 employees, spread across 21 research groups and 5 technology platforms, who work in a vibrant international research environment with a strong focus on interdisciplinary collaboration.

The Center’s research has resulted in seminal discoveries as to how genes, hormones, and environmental factors influence metabolic health and disease throughout life. You can read more about CBMR at www.cbmr.ku.dk.

Our group and research
The Merino Group investigates how molecular and environmental factors modulate variable metabolic responses to therapeutic interventions and shape food choice behavior. The group aims to generate actionable knowledge to inform more effective obesity and diabetes prevention and treatment strategies. You can read more about the Merino Group here.

Project and your work
Obesity and diabetes are complex metabolic diseases with substantial etiological heterogeneity. Recent studies have described subtypes of these diseases based on variable clinical presentation or genetic differences. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these subtypes of obesity and diabetes is needed for the eventual implementation of precision medicine for metabolic diseases.

The successful candidate will analyze high throughput omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, metagenomics) from large biobanks and population cohorts to elucidate 1) molecular signatures underlying obesity and diabetes subtypes, 2) investigate how these features are related to variable disease progression and the propensity to develop clinical complications, and 3) determine whether targeted therapeutic strategies are more likely to work into specific disease subtypes.

Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist who has the following skills and qualifications:

  • PhD with experience in computational biology, genomics, omics, molecular biomedicine, metabolism, or related sciences.
  • Knowledge of theoretical and applied biostatics, statistical genetics methods, multi-omics, and metabolism.
  • High level of proficiency in programming.
  • An active interest in obesity, diabetes, metabolism, and precision medicine.
  • Excellent scientific track record in relation to career stage.
  • Prior knowledge of the genetics of obesity and diabetes and experience in multi-omics analysis or precision medicine studies will be an asset.
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work both independently and as part of multi-disciplinary teams
  • Experience in supervising other researchers at different levels.
  • A team player and “can do” attitude.

Place of employment
The place of employment is at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, Maersk Tower, Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.

Terms of employment
The employment as a postdoc is a full-time and fixed-term position for 3 years. Starting date is March 1, 2024, or after agreement.

Salary, pension and other conditions of employment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations) or other relevant organization. Currently, the monthly salary starts at 36,400 DKK/approx. 4,880 EUR (October 2023 level). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. The employer will pay an additional 17.1 % to your pension fund.

Foreign and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark the last 10 years.

The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020.
