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 with extensive expertise in analysis of biochemical characterization of enzymes related to muscle glycogen metabolism and in vivo regulation substrate metabolism using isotope tracers to work in the Sakamoto Group. The position is a 2-year position to start January 1, 2025, or after agreement.
Background
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneers 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 in the Maersk Tower at PANUM since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.
Our group and research
The Sakamoto Group aims to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying cellular energy sensing and restoration of metabolic balance. We study how post-translational modifications (e.g., reversible phosphorylation) and allosteric regulation of signalling proteins/metabolic enzymes control cellular energy balance and how dysfunctions of such molecular processes lead to cardiometabolic diseases.
Project description
The project aims to elucidate molecular and physiological mechanism by which skeletal muscle glycogen degradation is controlled through allosteric ligands and reversible phosphorylation. The project employs various novel genetic models carrying a point mutation involved in allosteric ligand binding- or phosphorylation-dependent control of muscle glycogen phosphorylase, a rate-controlling enzyme in glycogen degradation. The project takes a multi-faceted approach, including structure-guided mutagenesis, in vitro enzyme kinetics analysis and in vivo measurement of substrate utilization using isotope tracers and various genetic preclinical models.
Your job
Your responsibilities will include carrying out all major biochemical and physiological analyses of the project: performing in vitro kinetics analysis and wild-type and mutant enzymes, and extensive ex vivo skeletal muscle and whole-body/in vivo metabolic phenotyping of various genetically modified animal models, as well as in vivo measurement of substrate utilization using isotope tracers. In addition, the tasks include coordination/management of several internal and external collaborations and supervision of students and other researchers.
Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and qualifications:
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 Researcher is a full time and fixed-term position for 2 years. Starting date is January 1, 2025.
Salary, pension and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated.
Non-Danish 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 “Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff at the Universities” of 2020.
