About this position
The University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD fellowship in gene regulation and single cell methodology within the Department of Biology. The position is based in the Tissue Gene Regulation lab, led by Assistant Professor Robert Krautz, and involves collaboration with Associate Professor Robin Andersson. The research focuses on understanding tissue development by investigating gene regulatory mechanisms at the single cell level, specifically the activity of enhancers and promoters. The successful candidate will develop novel methods to measure enhancer and promoter activity in single cells and apply these techniques to study cell differentiation in developing tissues.
This highly interdisciplinary project combines experimental work in molecular biology, single cell method development, high throughput sequencing, and organoid culture. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, or biomedicine, with extensive laboratory experience. Experience in single cell technologies, sequencing library preparation, and bioinformatics is highly valued. The lab environment is collaborative, with access to modern facilities and computational infrastructure, and emphasizes mentorship and scientific growth.
The PhD fellowship is fully funded, offering a monthly salary of 31,200 DKK (approx. 4,100 EUR) plus pension contributions, for up to three years. Applicants must submit a motivated letter, CV, diplomas, transcripts, and reference letters (if available) in English via the university's job portal. The application deadline is December 9, 2025. For further information, candidates may contact Robert Krautz at [email protected]. The University of Copenhagen encourages applications from all backgrounds and offers a dynamic, international research environment.
Key research areas include gene regulation, single cell methodology, molecular biology, genomics, enhancer and promoter activity, and developmental biology. The project provides opportunities to work with leading researchers and contribute to innovative scientific advancements in understanding tissue development and disease mechanisms.
Funding details
The position is fully funded with a monthly salary starting at 31,200 DKK (approx. 4,100 EUR) plus an additional 18.07% pension contribution. Employment is full-time for up to 3 years. Salary supplements may be negotiated based on qualifications. The position covers salary, pension, and is conditional upon successful enrolment as a PhD student.
What's required
Applicants must hold a MSc or equivalent in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biomedicine, or a related discipline with extensive experience in experimental lab work. Documented experience in single cell methods, preparation and optimization of high-throughput sequencing libraries, and proficiency in spoken and written English are required. Experience in bioinformatics and genomics data processing is beneficial. Prior industrial experience in deadline-oriented, reproducible laboratory work is advantageous. Candidates should have a strong interest in gene regulation and interdisciplinary research.
