Odense M
A position as postdoctoral fellow is available at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, with a flexible starting date (preferably 1 May 2021 or earlier). The position is funded for two years with the possibility for extension. Application deadline: 15 February 2021.
The employee will be part of Jan-Wilhelm Kornfeld’s ERC-funded international research group and shares our interest in understanding the role of dietary restriction and obesity in adipose tissue chromatin regulation, and in elucidating the effects of these chromatin changes for energy homeostasis and Metabolic Disease. For this, we utilize advanced genomics methods like RNA- and ChIP-Seq, computational approaches and transgenic mouse models.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated colleague with a PhD degree in life sciences (biologist, biochemist, biomedical degree or related) who is interested in understanding chromatin dynamics and histone posttranslational modifications during diet-induced-obesity in mice. A background in NGS and/or experience in analysing mouse models of obesity and T2D is a plus.
The recruited scientist will be associated with ADIPOSIGN, a new research centre established in 2019 for a six-year period through a major grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. ADIPOSIGN combines experimental and computational systems approaches to obtain insights into how fat cells receive and respond to signals at the level of the (epi)-genome and the cell membrane. Our goal is to understand how the signalling states of adipocytes depend on depot, gender, and genetic variation, and how changes in these signalling states during obesity contribute to its patho-physiological consequences.
The future colleague will actively contribute to other research projects in the group and will constitute a central part of an ambitious, international team of young and ambitious scientists.
The ideal candidate is comfortable with one or many of the following:
Your education and background:
For further information please contact Professor Jan-Wilhelm Kornfeld by e-mail [email protected] or phone +45 9350 7481.
Application, salary etc.
The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). Please check links for more information on salary and taxation.
The application must include the following:
• A curriculum vitae including information on previous employment.
• A full list of publications stating the scientific publications on which the applicant wishes to rely.
Shortlisting may be used in the assessment process.
Incomplete applications and applications received after the deadline will neither be considered nor evaluated.
To qualify you must have passed a PhD or equivalent. Applications will be assessed by an expert assessor/committee. Applicants will be informed of their assessment by the university.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Applications must be submitted electronically using the link "Apply online". Attached files must be in Adobe PDF or Word format. Each box can only contain a single file of max. 10 Mb. We strongly recommend that you read How to apply before you apply.
