Postdoc Position in Metabolic Regulation and Lipidomics, involves developing and applying technology for monitoring enzyme expression levels
A postdoctoral position is available in the Ejsing Lab at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark. Invited are applications from outstanding candidates with a keen interest in studying regulation of whole-body lipid metabolism using state-of-the-art lipidomics and proteomics technology. The project involves developing and applying our technology for monitoring enzyme expression levels and lipid metabolic flux at the systems-level; and understanding how disease states impinge on lipid homeostasis in rodents and humans. The project is an interdisciplinary collaboration with partners in industry and clinical settings.
We are seeking a motivated and technically skilled person with a strong background in mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, metabolomics or proteomics; especially targeted quantitative analysis. It is preferred that the applicant has experience in data management and bioinformatics/computational data analysis as well as handling samples from rodents and humans. Effective communication skills, a strong work ethic, ability to work both independently and in a collaborative group environment are required. Candidates must hold a doctoral degree.
The position is available from 1 July 2022 or earlier (contact Christer Ejsing for details). The position is available for one year to three years with possibility for extension. Application deadline: 1 June 2022.
