Odense M
The Mandrup Group at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology invites applications from outstanding postdoctoral candidates who are interested in joining our islet team to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms driving pancreatic β-cell maturation. The position is initially for a three-year period starting from 1 January 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter. Application deadline: 21 November 2022.
Your role as a postdoc
The Mandrup Group has a longstanding interest in understanding the transcriptional mechanisms of pancreatic β-cell plasticity. Recently we made some interesting discoveries regarding the role of specific epigenomic modifiers in pancreatic β-cell maturation and function. In a new project, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, we will follow up on these findings regarding the important role of epigenomic modifiers in pancreatic β-cell maturation in vivo.
The Mandrup Group
The Mandrup Group has a long-standing interest in understanding the molecular crosstalk between transcriptional regulation and metabolism in adipocytes and pancreatic β-cells and to understand the molecular basis for the plasticity of cells in the adipose tissue and endocrine pancreas. We also have a long-time interest in the transcriptional network regulating lineage determination and differentiation of adipocyte progenitors. Our laboratory combines genome-wide studies of factor binding, epigenetic marks and chromatin structure with detailed molecular analyses of the crosstalk between transcriptional regulators. We run an inhouse sequencing platform including single cell sequencing and bioinformatic pipeline.
Susanne Mandrup is director of ADIPOSIGN as well as the Center of Excellence in Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity, and she heads the Functional Genomics and Metabolism Research Unit.
The research unit currently hosts seven independent research groups focusing on various aspects of functional genomics as it pertains to the regulation of cellular differentiation and metabolism. The Research Unit constitutes an international, ambitious, highly dynamic, and well-equipped working environment. The unit and the department have state-of-the-art facilities for next generation sequencing, single-cell transcriptomics, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, metabolomics, bioimaging, and transgenic mouse work. Strategic research alliances exist with the Odense University Hospital (OUH).
Postdoc qualifications/requirements
We are looking for a highly motivated, dedicated, and ambitious candidate with:
