About this position

PhD fellowships in chemical biology are available at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen. The project, led by Assistant Professor Christian Kofoed, focuses on the molecular complexity of immune-cell interfaces and the protein interaction networks that shape the immunological synapse.

The successful PhD fellow will help develop a next-generation chemical biology platform and apply it to study communication between immune cells. The work is interdisciplinary and includes training in protein engineering, cell culture, confocal microscopy, and mass spectrometry.

This is a 3-year PhD position starting on 15 November 2026 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The fellowship includes approximately 10% teaching, offering experience for a teaching portfolio and academic career development. The position is based in a dynamic, international research environment at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.

Applicants should have a relevant academic degree in the project area. For Danish degrees, a relevant Master’s degree is required; for international degrees, applicants must have an equivalent master’s degree or at minimum a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a Danish bachelor’s degree and be academically qualified at master’s level. The selection process also considers GPA, relevant qualifications, publications, work experience, other professional activities, curiosity, and language skills.

The application deadline is 25 August 2026, 23:59 CET. Apply online and include a motivated letter, CV, certified diploma and transcript, and a publication list if possible.
