About this position

The BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme at the University of Copenhagen offers 14 postdoctoral fellowships focused on translational medicine and career development across basic biomedical research, clinical science, and the life science industry. Fellows will be embedded in the lab of a basic mentor at either the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND) or the Faculty of SCIENCE (SCIENCE), UCPH, and will work as part of a Mentor Team that connects a basic biomedical environment with a clinical environment and, where relevant, industry.

The programme is designed for ambitious researchers who want to bridge discovery science and patient-oriented research. Successful fellows will spend most of their time on an individual translational project developed with their Mentor Team, while also participating in a dedicated academic curriculum and programme activities that are intended to build cross-disciplinary competence, collaboration skills, and leadership in translational research.

The research projects are expected to sit in the early translational space, moving from disease modelling and omics-based basic research toward biomarker discovery, target development, and preclinical development. Projects may also extend into early first-in-human and phase 1/2 clinical stages when relevant. The overall aim is to address an important medical challenge through an interdisciplinary project that links the laboratory, the clinic, and potentially the life science sector.

The programme is led at UCPH and supported by a structured research and training environment that combines individual project work with cohort-based activities, expert-led training, and interaction with other BRIDGE Fellows. Fellows are expected to join a programme that is explicitly built around translation, collaboration, and professional growth across scientific and medical domains.

The call includes positions for both MD- and MSc-background fellows, with equal numbers of appointments in each category. Appointed fellows will be enrolled in the BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme and employed at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH.

Funding details

Programme financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Each fellow receives an annual sum of DKK 40,000 during the two-year employment for PC, travel, language courses, conference and workshop participation, and other relevant activities outside the programme. Running costs for the individual research projects are covered by the hosting environments.

What's required

Applicants must hold either an MD and a PhD degree or equivalent, or an MSc and a PhD degree or equivalent within a relevant discipline such as veterinary science, biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, pharmacy, dentistry, or medical engineering. The PhD degree must have been obtained no more than eight years before the application deadline, with documented leave accepted as an extension. Current PhD students may apply only if the thesis is expected to be submitted and defended before 1 September 2027 and a supervisor declaration is attached. In Denmark, total postdoc time at one university may not exceed four years, so no more than two years of UCPH-based postdoc experience is allowed before enrolment, again with documented leave accepted. Applicants should have a strong CV with peer-reviewed original manuscripts in high-quality journals, including at least one first-author paper, international conference presentations, project management experience, research supervision experience, excellent interpersonal and leadership skills, and the ability to work independently on a co-designed translational research project.

How to apply

First, connect with an eligible Mentor Team and have the constellation preapproved by emailing BRIDGE at [email protected] before the deadline. Prepare Part 1 project description with the Mentor Team, and Part 2 project abstract and CV independently, plus the required supplementary documents. Submit the full application online via the job link no later than 2027-02-09 23:59 CET.
