The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences The University of Copenhagen We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious post-doc for a three-year position in Chemical Biology. The position is available from 1 June 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. Our research In the Strømgaard lab, we combine tools from chemistry and biology, and apply these in studies of therapeutic peptides and proteins. Our aims are to develop modulators for protein-protein interactions and to provide molecular-level insight herein. We are interested in protein-protein interactions that are therapeutically relevant, in particular between integral membrane proteins and their intracellular protein partners, also known as receptor complexes. Job description The position is part of a Lundbeck Foundation Collaborative Project (https://lundbeckfonden.com/en/proteiners-dynamik-syge-hjernes-biologi) with the aim to explore a recently discovered and exciting new biological...

Department of Biology Faculty of Science University of Copenhagen Department of Biology, Section for Functional Genomics, invites applicants for a postdoc in Molecular   Cell Biology of DNA repair . The position is part of the research project “Genome integrity maintenance by liquid-liquid phase separation and oscillations”, which is financed by the Carlsberg Foundation. The aim of the project is to study the role of liquid-liquid phase separation in facilitating DNA repair processes in the cell nucleus as a model to establish a fundamental biological understanding of how biomolecular droplets allow the cell to orchestrate its biochemical processes. We will achieve this through a cross-disciplinary effort that combines molecular genetics and state-of-the-art microscopy with biophysical modelling and computational simulations. Our group and research Our group studies the cellular mechanisms responsible for maintaining genome integrity with special...

Department of Food Science, Section of Food Analytics and Biotechnology, invites applicants for a postdoc in plant proteomics with aim to characterise the protein composition and protein interaction of pea accessions from the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen) for plant-based foods. The position is for 36 months with start 1/6-2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. The Project There is an essential need for substitution of animal protein with plant protein in our diet to get a more sustainable food production, as up to 75% of the greenhouse gas emissions from our food consumption origins from meat and dairy food products. One of the major drivers for this shift is plant-based alternatives, however, animal protein provides unique sensory and textural properties. The structure of plant proteins is very different from animal proteins and many of the plant-based alternatives currently on the market are rejected by consumers due to poor structural properties. The goal of...
