Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
The University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoc fellow to commence on February 1, 2025, or after agreement in the Rasmussen Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR), University of Copenhagen.
The Postdoc fellowship is part of the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program.
About Us
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneer’s groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, CBMR aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. The Center’s uniquely multi- and interdisciplinary approach combines research in genetics, physiology and pharmacology, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors that drive cardiometabolic disease. You can learn more in the Executive Summary of CBMR's Strategy 2024–2028.
CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at PANUM since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.
Our Research
The Rasmussen Lab focuses on development and application of computational algorithms such as machine and deep learning for analysis and integration of multi-omics and multi-modal data within cardiometabolic disease. We develop supervised, un-supervised, self-supervised and generative models to learn across multiple types of data rather than treating each data modality in isolation. We have a high focus on collaboration with national and international partners and thrive in interdisciplinary projects. In the group we organize ourselves around smaller teams with common goals and have an inclusive atmosphere. We encourage diversity across all parameters.
Job Description
The aim of the postdoc project is to develop patient level multi-modal foundation models for studying cardiometabolic disease. Using data from large international biobanks, such as UKB, All of Us and Project 10K, you will take part in developing and training state of the art deep learning-based foundation models. These will be based on two existing frameworks in our group, EIR (Sigurdsson et al., 2023, NAR) and MOVE (Allesøe et al., 2023, Nature Biotechnology). This includes methodologies such as neural networks, variational autoencoders, transformers and more. Besides modelling your tasks will also include interpretation of the results and dissemination through presentations and preparation of manuscripts. You will join our team aiming to improve precision health through training DL models on biobank scale molecular and health data.
Profile
The Postdoc fellowship is aimed at early-career researchers with a basic science background or clinicians who aspire to a career in academic medicine. We are particularly interested in candidates who are familiar with integrative research approaches within the broad area of basic cardiometabolic research with an application toward human pathophysiology.
Required qualifications:
