EC Marie Sklodowska-Curie PhD fellowship in molecular imprinting and glycobiology at Copenhagen Center for Glycomics

GlycoImaging is a European Training Network (ETN) funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action, with the aim of developing the next generation tools for cancer research and diagnostics. 5 research groups, spread across 5 universities and institutes and 2 industrial partners in 4 different countries have come together to train a new generation of chemists/biologists through an EU-wide PhD training network. One vacant PhD position in molecular imprinting and glycobiology is now available at Copenhagen Center for Glycomics.

Scientific environment 

Copenhagen Center for Glycomics (http://glycomics.ku.dk) is a Center of Excellence funded partly by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF). The Center is comprised of 6 senior professors, 6 junior professors, 5 post docs and 11 PhD students, and focuses on complex carbohydrates and their role in health and disease. The center has a unique approach to glycomics using primarily gene editing of the glycogenome to uncover and dissect biological functions of glycosylation.  

Required qualifications  

The candidate must be in the first four years of his or her research career and cannot have lived in Denmark for more than 12 months over the last 3 years. Candidates with international publications and experience directly related to the research topic (molecular imprinting and glycobiology) of the position will be given preference. 

Terms of employment:  

The successful PhD candidate will be offered a full-time position for a period of three years, contingent on a satisfactory performance, with the specific intent that it results in a PhD degree and scientific publications.  Information about the PhD programs at the Faculty of Health Science can be found at healthscience.ku.dk/phd/.
