Responsibilities:
Qualifications:
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
We are a newly established group focusing on pairing prediction algorithms with cell assays and in vivo experiments to find novel peptide hormones with effects on metabolism. We combine the power of mammalian sequencing data with algorithms to predict peptides and assays to guage metabolism in order to find novel hormones. The ultimate aim is to find novel peptide hormones contributing to the development of new treatments for obesity and related disorders.
The group is a part of the department of Biology, 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 buildings include modern laboratories and mouse facilities. Please contact the head of the hiring committee for any questions regarding the position:
