(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in molecular mechanisms of synaptic homeostasis at the Department of Neuroscience
We seek an excellent Postdoc with a high potential for original research. The project focuses on the molecular basis for homeostatic synaptic plasticity, which is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism to ensure continuous synaptic communication in the light of interference. Disruption of this function may contribute to human disease. Using the model system Drosophila melanogaster we recently showed that members of the Unc13 protein family set the strength of a synapse and are essential for its capacity to undergo this plasticity (Reddy-Alla et al., Neuron 2017 Sep 13;95(6):1350-1364; Böhme et al., Nat Commun. 2019 Mar 6;10(1):1085). Using genetic tools, advanced super-resolution (STED) microscopy and electrophysiology we have dissected two principle components for long-lasting presynaptic potentiation of synapses, one that relies on the available protein machinery for immediate plasticity and one that involves structural synapse remodeling for long-term changes (Böhme et al., Nat Commun. 2019 Mar 6;10(1):1085). However, molecular details on how these two complementary mechanisms are organized, intersect and how their disruption affects the organism are lacking. The advertised project is focused on elucidating those mechanisms and to investigate whether human disease mutations affect homeostatic mechanisms.

(04) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in Neuroendocrinology
The neuroendocrinology project is focused on the newly discovered gut bacterial polypeptide hormone, which was discovered by Professor Oluf Pedersen and his team in 2019. The peptide is the first hormone known to be produced by the human gut microbiome and has effects on various brain functions and metabolism. The main task will be to systematically map brain cell populations, cellular states and molecular signaling processes through which the bacterial hormone exerts its beneficial effects on body weight, glucose metabolism and cognitive health. Your primary supervisor will be Associate Professor Tune H. Pers and you will be co-supervised by Professor Oluf Pedersen. In the research project, you will work with data generated from cutting-edge neuroscience and molecular biology techniques, including immunolabeling-enabled 3D imaging of solvent cleared organs (iDISCO), multimodal single-nucleus RNA and ATAC-seq profiling and large-scale in situ sequencing at the single-cell level. All data will be exclusively generated for the present project, and you will apply state-of-the-art computational techniques and machine learning approaches to process, analyze and interpret the data/results.
Deadline : April 4, 2022
(05) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in Molecular Metabolism
The successful candidate will be involved in a project with the overall aim to determine the importance of the NAD+ biosynthesis capacity of satellite cells for the ability of skeletal muscle to recover from injury. We have generated several transgenic mouse models in which levels of Nampt in satellite cells can be manipulated, and we are currently setting up experimental conditions to induce muscle injury either chemically or via eccentric muscle contractions. Your tasks will be to refine these protocols and use the mouse models to determine whether manipulation of NAD+ in satellite cells affects muscle recovery. You will complement these studies by in vitro experiments in isolated mouse and human satellite cells to determine critical NAD+-dependent nodal points for satellite cell proliferation and differentiation using advanced cell imaging systems. You will be part of a dynamic and highly collaborative research team that strives for scientific excellence, and works for similar overall goals. We rely on each other in practical day-to-day settings as well as for scientific development of the projects. We expect you to carry this team spirit, and at the same time you will be given a high level of independence to drive and develop this project.

(06) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in Bidirectional relationship between the circadian clock and metabolism in type 2 diabetes
Circadian rhythms are driven by an internal biological clock that is synchronized by Zeitgebers (time-keepers) that anticipate day/night cycles to optimize the physiology and behavior of organisms. The circadian program is regulated at both a central and peripheral level, and cell autonomous circadian rhythms are generated by a transcriptional auto-regulatory feedback loop. A basic paradigm of circadian regulation of metabolism is that oscillations of gene expression generate daily rhythms in cellular metabolism. While disrupted circadian rhythms alter metabolism, the extent to which these processes are impaired in humans with obesity or type 2 diabetes is unknown.

(08) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc in Adipose G protein-coupled receptor signalling
We are focused on understanding the mechanisms controlling adipose tissue metabolism and how this control shapes organismal energy homeostasis. Specifically, we view the adipocyte as a signalling hub that receives and integrates a diverse array of neuronal, metabolite, and hormonal cues. These signals collectively shape adipocyte biology and match metabolic output to balance systemic energy demands. Brown and beige adipocytes are types of fat cells that possess a profound capacity to expend energy and are classified more generally as thermogenic adipocytes. This calorie-burning capacity is particularly appealing as a potential therapeutic approach to counteract metabolic disease. However, we currently lack the means of safely harnessing thermogenic adipose activity.

(13) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoc position in southeast European Neolithic archaeology
The overall goal of the project is to explain why figurative representations are missing among Northern Europe’s first farmers. As farming spread from southeast to central Europe, the number of figurines decreased and when agriculture expanded to northern Europe, they had disappeared. The project seeks explanations for the absence of figurines in deep socio-cultural and ritual-religious differences dividing Neolithic Europe in a figurative southeastern part and an imageless northern part. This will include the identification and analyses of shifts in social organization and ritual-religious practices across early agricultural communities in southeast and central Europe.

About The University of Copenhagen, Denmark – Official Website
The University of Copenhagen is a public research university in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 1479, the University of Copenhagen is the second-oldest university in Scandinavia, and ranks as one of the top universities in the Nordic countries and Europe.
Its establishment sanctioned by Pope Sixtus IV, the University of Copenhagen was founded by Christian I of Denmark as a Catholic teaching institution with a predominantly theological focus. In 1537, it was re-established by King Christian III as part of the Lutheran Reformation. Up until the 18th century, the university was primarily concerned with educating clergymen. Through various reforms in the 18th and 19th century, the University of Copenhagen was transformed into a modern, secular university, with science and the humanities replacing theology as the main subjects studied and taught.
The University of Copenhagen consists of six different faculties, with teaching taking place in its four distinct campuses, all situated in Copenhagen. The university operates 36 different departments and 122 separate research centres in Copenhagen, as well as a number of museums and botanical gardens in and outside the Danish capital. The University of Copenhagen also owns and operates multiple research stations around Denmark, with two additional ones located in Greenland. Additionally, The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and the public hospitals of the Capital and Zealand Region of Denmark constitute the conglomerate Copenhagen University Hospital.
A number of prominent scientific theories and schools of thought are namesakes of the University of Copenhagen. The famous Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics was conceived at the Niels Bohr Institute, which is part of the university. The Department of Political Science birthed the Copenhagen School of Security Studies, which is also named after the university. Others include the Copenhagen School of Theology and the Copenhagen School of Linguistics.
