Odense M
The RNA splicing and Disease group at the Section for Translational Biology, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, SDU, invites applications from outstanding postdoctoral candidates. The position is available from 1 January 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter and the employment will run for up to two years. Application deadline: 24 November 2023.Research projectTo identify therapeutically relevant pseudoexons. Investigation of activation mechanisms of pseudoexons in human disease genes and preclinical development of identified candidates.
The postdoctoral candidate will investigate in molecular detail, employing advanced techniques (RNA-seq, CRISPR/Cas genome editing, in-vitro RNA binding, SSOs treatment, mouse model work etc.) how pseudoexons can be efficiently activated to modulate gene-expression.
The project will provide a paradigm for future studies of pseudoexon activation as a new therapeutic platform.
The Splicing and Disease GroupThe group Leader, Brage Storstein Andresen, PhD, FRCPath, is professor and head of the Section for Translational Biology. The research group has for years focused on regulation of normal and aberrant alternative pre-mRNA splicing. We employ state of the art techniques to study the molecular pathology of aberrant splicing in human disease and the basic biology of RNA binding proteins. We develop methods for modulation of splicing using splice switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) to treat Human disease. We also develop software to predict the effect of sequence changes on binding of splicing regulatory proteins to RNA and to pinpoint parts of the transcriptome vulnerable to splicing mutations.
Research environmentThe research group is part of an international, ambitious, highly dynamic, and well-equipped working environment. The section and the department have state-of-the-art facilities for next generation sequencing, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, metabolomics, bioimaging and transgenic mouse work. The project is carried out in collaboration with international collaborators.
Qualifications/requirements We are looking for highly motivated, dedicated, and ambitious scientists with:
We offer

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.
