Three postdoctoral stipends are available in the group of Jesper Olsen at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR – www.cpr.ku.dk).
The Center is part of at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, and was established to promote basic protein research and comprises a wide range of expertise and technology platforms including mass spectrometry, imaging, protein production and biophysical characterization.
Profile
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with expertise in mass spectrometry-based protein or molecular biology and kinase-driven cell signaling. We are therefore looking for strong post-doctoral researchers with the following competencies and experiences:
Essential experience and skills:
• You have a PhD in biotechnology, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, or related science.
• Strong scientific track record demonstrated by high-quality publications about MS-based proteomics and/or cell signalling in peer reviewed international journals as first author.
• The candidate should be able to conduct independent and creative research, and show good inter-personal and communication skills.
• Perform independent, high-quality research and developments in mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies and apply this to global analysis of protein digests and PTM-enriched samples.
• You have prior experience in molecular and cellular biology experiments including immunoblotting, immune-affinity enrichments, sandwich ELISA assays, and cellular assays.
• You are excellent in written and oral communication in English.
• You have experience in research collaborations and have demonstrated enthusiasm, motivation, flexibility and confidence.
Desirable experience and skills:
• Experience in handling, processing and bioinformatically analyzing large-scale scientific datasets.
• Experience in experimental design, and planning of complex proteomics experiments.
• Experience with script programming in the languages such Perl, R, or Python is a clear advantage.
• Hands-on experience with high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (Q Exactive or Lumos instrumentation).
• Prior experience with EU-funded large-collaborative proteomics-focused research projects is an advantage.
Place of employment
The place of employment is in the Olsen Group in the Proteomics Program at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern laboratories and state-of-the-art proteomics equipment and infrastructure.
