Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
University of Copenhagen
The University of Copenhagen seeks 3 PhD students and 5 Postdoc fellows to commence on January 1, 2024, at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR).
The PhD student and Postdoc fellowships are part of the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program.
Job description
The fellowships are aimed at early-career researchers with a basic science background or clinicians who aspire to a career in academia. We are particularly interested in candidates who are familiar with integrative research approaches within the broad area of basic cardiometabolic research with an application towards human pathophysiology.
CBMR’s mission is to lead collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, transforming the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health, and accelerating its translation into prevention and treatment strategies.
