Job description
Are you curious about how environmental pollution affects our health at the molecular level? Join at , University of Southern Denmark to explore the answers through advanced proteomics.We seek a postdoctoral researcher to join an exciting EU-funded consortium focused on studying the health impacts of environmental stressors, including air pollution, noise, and ultra-fine particles. This interdisciplinary research effort combines advanced proteomics, redox proteomics, and phosphoproteomics to investigate the molecular changes associated with these exposures. You will work alongside leading environmental health, molecular biology, and proteomics experts within a collaborative European framework.Responsibilities:
- Lead proteomics investigations to study protein modifications, specifically protein oxidation, to understand cellular responses to environmental stress.
- Utilize advanced mass spectrometry platforms and develop high-throughput assays.
- Manage and mentor a small research team, including one PhD student and two master’s students.
- Work closely with consortium partners, including bioinformaticians, epidemiologists, and environmental scientists, to integrate findings into the broader context of the consortium’s objectives.
- Prepare research articles for high-impact journals and present findings at national and international conferences.
Qualifications:
- PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Proteomics, or a related field.
- Expertise in quantitative proteomics.
- Proficiency in handling complex biological datasets related to proteomics.
- Strong organisational and project management skills, committed to teamwork.
- Fluency in English, both spoken and written.
Opportunities:
- Be part of a prestigious European research consortium, working with top-tier European institutions.
- Access to cutting-edge proteomics and mass spectrometry facilities.
- Engage in high-impact research directly relevant to environmental health and contribute to the development of public health policies.
- Opportunity for professional growth through close collaboration with leading scientists and participation in international research initiatives.
