Postdoc in GPCR mechanosensing
Københavns Universitet
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc for a 2 year position to commence 1 November 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.The project is part of a larger cross institutional synergy project called ‘GPCRmec: Quantitative investigation of GPCR mechanosensation’ financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.Our research
You will join the Mathiasen Group in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, in the theme of Molecular and Translational Pharmacology.The Mathiasen group is one of multiple groups in the theme studying G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We offer a dynamic and social work environment, where students at all levels (BSc, MSc, and PhD), postdocs, technicians and scientists from various cultures work together on a variety of interdisciplinary projects, and you will engage and collaborate with several colleagues in the group and theme.Information on the MathiasenThe Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMI) is an interdisciplinary department with research groups focused on topics spanning from basic to translational science. Information on the department can be found atThe ProjectThe transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) take part in a myriad of physiological processes and are involved in numerous pathologies. The project aims to investigate the role of GPCR mechanosensation in tissue-specific GPCR pharmacology.In the project will include the establishment of novel assays for the detection of mechanosensation at the subcellular level, using a combination of fluorescence microscopy and live cell GPCR signalling assays.The project will go deep to understand which mechanisms are at play when GPCR receptors respond to mechanical stress of various kind.A close collaboration with researchers from the Neils Bohr Institute and the Department of Chemistry will ensure access to the needed crossdisciplinarity expertise and equipment (e.g. the C-trap LUMICKS system used for optical trapping).Profile
