Postdoc in Cardiorenal Metabolism
Join Aarhus University as a postdoctoral researcher exploring metabolic organ communication using mouse models and mass spectrometry.
Best for:Best for researchers with a PhD in metabolism, physiology, or related fields, and hands-on experience in mouse models or mass spectrometry.
Overview
The Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University invites applications for a fixed-term postdoctoral position focused on cardiorenal metabolism starting January 2027 or shortly thereafter. The successful candidate will conduct independent metabolic and physiological studies using mouse models, performing in-depth phenotyping and utilizing advanced mass spectrometry techniques like metabolomics and proteomics. Working within an international, collaborative environment, the researcher will act as the primary driver of the project while receiving guidance and mentorship from faculty. Responsibilities also include data analysis using R or Python, contributing to high-impact publications, and engaging in departmental activities.
