Job description

Job Description
The Cardiac Proteomics Group at Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen seeks to appoint a talented postdoctoral fellow to outline protein regulations involved in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic syndrome. The research fellow will investigate remodeling in hearts from animal models, patient samples as well as cell systems using quantitative proteomics-based approaches to identify molecular changes driving the disease state. The fellow will be part of a collaborative research environment and can expect involvement in multiple projects, covering experimental investigations of cellular and animal disease models in addition to work with human samples.We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our team. Prior experience with mass spectrometry based proteomics is required.Qualification Requirements

• Holds a PhD with experience from a relevant field including but not limited to Biotechnology, Biochemistry or Biomedical Sciences.
• Ambitious, creative, independent and self-driven
• Hands on skills and expert knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

• Experimental know-how of mass spectrometry-based proteomics (LC-MS/MS)
• Analytical know-how of Mass spectrometry data analysis
• Experimental know-how of various types of sample preparations (such as proteomics, PTMomics, clinical proteomics, spatial- or single cell proteomics, secretomics, interactomics using high-resolution mass spectrometry).
• Experience in quantitative proteomics approaches
• Experience in cardiac biology or physiology is an advantage
• Good communication skills in English, both oral and written, is a requirement
• Being willing to engage in team work
