About this position

The Friesen group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, is establishing a new research programme within the NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW). The lab focuses on understanding the biology of metabolic disease, asking how cells move from a healthy state to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and how those states might be reversed.

The successful candidate will join as a research assistant in a newly founded lab and contribute to building the research environment from the start. The work centres on human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived in vitro disease models that aim to reflect the in vivo cell state more faithfully. Projects may include establishing these metabolic disease models, performing genome editing of hPSC tool and reporter lines, optimising translational screening experiments, and analysing existing and newly generated omics data.

This is an opportunity to work closely in a dynamic stem cell and metabolism research setting while helping shape the culture and direction of the lab. The role offers early ownership of projects and involvement in setting up systems that will support the future development of the group.

After an initial research assistant period and a positive evaluation, the position may continue into a funded PhD project in the same research area, with the doctoral project defined jointly based on the candidate’s interests and the data generated during the RA period.

Funding details

The initial Research Assistant position is funded for 12 months, with the opportunity to transition into a funded 3-year PhD position upon positive evaluation and mutual agreement.

What's required

Applicants must hold an MSc degree in biology, biomedicine, biochemistry, or a similar field. Essential experience includes human cell culture, demonstrated wet-lab experience, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Applicants should have an interest in fundamental or translational research, including disease mechanisms, hPSC biology, and metabolic disease, and should demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills in English, high intrinsic motivation, responsibility, and reliability, and comfort in international and diverse work environments. Desirable experience includes hPSC culture, genome editing and related molecular/cell biology techniques, and experience with or aptitude for bioinformatic analysis.

How to apply

Prepare the application documents in English: a cover letter, CV, copies of relevant certificates/diplomas, and contact information for 2 references. Submit the application by clicking the Apply Now button before the deadline. Interviews are expected in week 50-51.
