About this position
Two postdoctoral positions are open in cardiometabolic (electro-)physiology at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, in the Lubberding group. The projects focus on the role of ion channels in cardiometabolic physiology and disease, with an emphasis on blood glucose control and translational research.
The work is highly interdisciplinary and combines human tissue analysis, clinical data, electrophysiology (patch-clamp), live imaging, molecular biology, omics, hormone secretion assays, in vitro and in vivo model systems, murine islet work, and functional drug screening. The group is also setting up a small clinical trial, so experience with clinical or translational research is relevant.
Applicants should have, or be close to completing, a PhD in life science or medical science, preferably in cardiac or metabolic physiology. Strong background in cell biology and human physiology, plus wet-lab experience and/or large-dataset analysis skills, are expected. Knowledge of electrophysiology, pharmacology, or human metabolic methods such as glucose clamps is particularly valued. English fluency and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are required.
The positions are fixed-term for 1 and 2 years, starting 16 November 2026 or soon thereafter. Salary starts at approximately 39,950 DKK/month plus pension, and eligible foreign applicants may benefit from a reduced tax scheme. The workplace is on the Panum campus in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Deadline: 20 September 2026, 23:59 CET.
How to apply: Submit the application online in English via the University of Copenhagen portal. Include a one-page motivation letter, CV, certified/signed PhD and MSc certificates (or supervisor statement if the PhD is not completed), and a publication list.
