The Protein Production and Characterization Platform at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research is seeking an academic employee or laboratory technician to the Biophysics team. The position is fixed-term and has a start date on the 8 January 2024 to and including 31 December 2024.

About us

Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR) (https://www.cpr.ku.dk) comprises a wide range of expertise and skills within its research programs spanning disease systems biology, proteomics, high throughput protein production and characterization, chemical biology, disease biology, and protein therapeutics. The center contributes to the progress of translational research within medicine and provides fundamental insights that can be used to promote drug discovery and development.

The Protein Production and Characterization platform is part of the Protein Structure and Function program. The Biophysics platform houses state of the art biophysical instrumentation for the characterization of biomolecules and their interactions (https://www.cpr.ku.dk/research/facilities/protein-production-and-characterization/biophysics/). We support CPR researchers and external academic users through the Integrative Structural Biology Cluster (ISBUC) at the University of Copenhagen in the performance, design, and analysis of a variety of biophysical experiments. We run mass spectrometry as a tool for protein and small molecule identification and for de novo identification of proteins.
