The University of Copenhagen seeks 10 highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellows to commence 1 October 2021 at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR).

The postdoctoral fellowships are part of the CBMR International Postdoctoral Programme www.cbmr.ku.dk/postdocprogram.

Job description
The fellowships are aimed at early career researchers with a basic science background or clinicians who aspire to a career in academic medicine. We are particularly interested in candidates who are familiar with integrative research approaches within the broad area of basic metabolic research with an application towards human pathophysiology.
The CBMR’s vision is to strengthen interdisciplinary research that transforms our basic understanding of the mechanisms that underlie metabolic health and disease, and to accelerate this knowledge toward new prevention and treatment strategies. For more information about the CBMR, please visit our website www.cbmr.ku.dk.
