København N
The Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports (NEXS), section for Human Physiology, invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in “Noncoding RNAs, the Epitranscriptome and the Epigenome as Effectors of Physical Activity in Lowering the Risk of Acute Stroke in Postmenopausal Women.”
Start date is 1 March 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
Acute stroke is a leading cause of disability and death, affecting over 1 million people per year in Europe alone. Physical activity is the most effective way to reduce the risk of all cardiovascular events, including stroke. However, after menopause, a transition where the risk of severe cardiovascular events increases drastically for women, the effects of physical activity on the vascular system can change. The molecular pathways underlying these important changes are not yet understood.
To elucidate these pathways, you will look specifically at noncoding RNAs. RNAs respond rapidly to stimuli such as physical activity and can travel and communicate between different tissues, such as between skeletal muscles and the brain. Furthermore, in response to such stimuli, RNAs undergo chemical modifications at individual nucleotide level, adapting the distinct biological functions of these RNAs. You will combine studies on acute stroke in women and studies in women of varying physical activity/fitness levels going through menopausal transition, with in vitro studies on primary human brain endothelial cells to elucidate underlying cellular RNA signalling pathways.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field of human physiology. Applicants can have a background in human physiology, exercise physiology or similar.
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The group is a part of the section for Human Physiology at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports (NEXS), Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.
We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and exercise facilities.
