About this position

The Friesen group at the NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW), within the Department of Biomedical Sciences and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work at the interface of stem cell biology and metabolism.

The project focuses on understanding how cells move from a healthy state into insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and on exploring how that process can be reversed. The lab uses human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived in vitro disease models that are intended to closely reflect the in vivo cell state, and the research aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolism and insulin signaling across different cell types.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will help design experimental strategies, carry out wet-lab biology experiments, analyze data, and contribute to scientific writing and presentation. The role also includes potential involvement in grant applications and research-based supervision of MSc or PhD students. Because this is a founding position in a new lab, you will have an early opportunity to shape the team’s research direction, culture, and ongoing projects.

The position is embedded in a translational research environment centered on metabolic disease, with a focus on improving hPSC-derived disease models and using them to deepen understanding of disease mechanisms and support translational strategies.

Max Friesen is listed as the contact person for further information.

Funding details

Full-time postdoc position for 2 years with salary according to Danish academic staff agreement; monthly pension contribution of 18.07% and possible salary supplement. Candidates from abroad may be eligible for reduced tax payment under the Special Tax Scheme for Researchers.

What's required

A PhD in life sciences or a similar relevant field is required. Applicants should have experience with hPSCs and tissue culture, and a background in metabolism or metabolic disease. The role requires the ability to work both independently and collaboratively, good interpersonal and communication skills in English, high motivation, reliability, a strong sense of responsibility, and comfort in international and diverse work environments. Desirable qualifications include experience with genome editing, a first-author publication in a relevant field, and experience with or aptitude for omics methods and bioinformatic analysis.

How to apply

Prepare the application in English with a cover letter, CV including education, research experience, employment history and full publication list, diplomas, and contact details for 3 references. Submit the application electronically via the APPLY NOW link before 19 November 2026 at 24:00 CET.
