Company:

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet

Job description

Job Description:If you are establishing your career as scientist and are looking for a solid foundation to fulfill your dreams and ambitions in the context of single-cell biology, it is right here in front of you. A Tenure Track Assistant Professor position is available within the Cell Diversity Lab at DTU Bioengineering, where you will break new ground at the absolute forefront of single-cell resolution research and use your skills to develop a research program to answer fundamental biological questions in health and disease. The successful candidate is expected to establish an internationally competitive research group focusing on cell heterogeneity, and the use of systems biology and data science to gain a better understanding thereof. Moreover, they will develop and apply next-generation molecular single-cell workflows with a special focus on computational proteomics, to better understand e.g. stem cell differentiation, disease heterogeneity, and complex cellular interplays in time and space through spatial ‘omics approaches.Responsibilities and qualifications
A successful candidate should be eager to mentor the next generation of scientists and is expected to lead original scientific research pursuing new horizons in the field single-cell technologies. You will be required to bridge different disciplines and contribute to broadening understanding of heterogeneity in healthy and malignant biological systems.For this reason, a multi-disciplinary background is required with documented expertise in the following research areas:

• Expert understanding and ample track record of Mass Spectrometry-based proteomics

Strong track record in both method development and application of single-cell proteomics by MS (scp-MS) workflows
Advanced computational/bioinformatics analysis skills
Experience with mammalian cell culture techniques
Experience with automated liquid handling and single-cell isolation systems * Extensive knowledge of disease specific domain knowledge, such as cancer or cell development

• Ability to closely collaborate with clinical specialists and experimentalist groups working with different biological and biomedical themes
• Interest in pursuing molecular mechanisms that facilitate healthy aging and disease biomarker identification
• At least 2-3 years of hands-on experience with day-to-day handling of high-end LC-MS instruments, both those that are on the market and those that are yet to be released

As part of your activities, you are expected to:

• Conduct excellent research and develop the field within the above-mentioned research areas (e.g. scp-MS, cell heterogeneity, computational proteomics, etc.)
• Attract external excellence and strategic funding in your research field
• Build national and international collaborations, both outside and within the university
• Teach in university courses and supervise students

You must be responsible for the teaching of courses. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages, and in time are expected to master both.As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Experience and quality of teaching
• Research experience
• Research vision and potential
• International impact and experience
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.The position is part of DTU’s Tenure Track program.
