PhD fellow in Telomere Maintenance
Department of Biology
Faculty of Science
University of Copenhagen
Department of Biology, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in Telomere Maintenance commencing 1.10.2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Description of the scientific environment
The Section for Functional Genomics at the Department of Biology provides a strong, international environment for research in the field of Genetics and Genomics located at Copenhagen Biocenter, Ole Maaløes Vej 5, Copenhagen N. The Section currently employs 10 principal investigators, 4 technicians, 12 post docs, 25 PhD students as well as a number of undergraduate students.
Project description
In eukaryotes genome integrity is critically dependent on the stability of chromosomes, which is ensured by telomeres. The aim of this PhD project is to use the genetic model system Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells to study the role of Mte1/ZGRF1 in telomere maintenance. Phenotypic analysis of mutant yeast and human cells will be used to test the impact of Mte1/ZGRF1 on long-term telomere stability and cellular fitness. We anticipate that this study will profoundly change our understanding of telomere replication and its impact on genome stability.
Principal supervisor isProfessorMichael Lisby, Department of Biology, [email protected], Direct Phone: 35322120.
Job description
The position is available for a 3-year period and your key tasks as a PhD student at SCIENCE are:
Formal requirements

Scholarship and terms of employment for integrated MSc and PhD
PhD grant portions (Ph.D.‐SU klip)
In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme (up to three years), the student is entitled to so-called PhD grant portions. The grant portions are financed by the grant donor but not by the Danish State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme Agency (as is the case for the ordinary study grant portions on the BSc and MSc programmes). They are called PhD grant portions because this kind of remuneration is regulated and described in the Executive Order on the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme in Denmark (SU‐bekendtgørelsen), and because the value of a PhD grant portion corresponds to the value of an ordinary Danish study grant portion. Students are awarded 48 PhD grant portions during the period of their MSc and PhD studies.
48 PhD grant portions at DKK 6,243 each, corresponding to DKK 299,664 (approx. €39,955).
'Duty work'
As a supplement to the PhD grant portions, the student may, in accordance with the collective agreement of the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC), be offered 'duty work'. In the period up to the completion of the MSc programme, students performing 'duty work' are paid by the hour. UCPH has decided to offer students on integrated MSc and PhD schemes 150 hours of 'duty work' per year during Part A of the programme (until two years of the combined programme of study remain). 'Duty work' during Part A if it has a duration of three years: 450 hours at a rate of DKK 221.34 (+ 12.5% holiday pay), corresponding to DKK 112,052 (approx. €14,940)
For further information about Part A please see: https://www.science.ku.dk/phd/studystructure/integratedphd/
Salary in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC)
In the period after the completion of the MSc programme, the student is employed as a PhD scholar and is remunerated in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The scheme is arranged in such a way that students graduate from the MSc programme at a time when there are two years left of the integrated programme. For this reason, the salary must be paid for a period of two years in accordance with the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). The amounts specified include a supplement locally agreed upon as well as pension contributions: Salary as a PhD scholar: 24 months at a rate of DKK 32,304 (including pension contributions and supplement), corresponding to DKK 775,311 (approx. €103,374).
Application Procedure
The application, in English, must be submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.
