The Sandelin group is looking to recruit a talented postdoctoral researcher to our highly dynamic research group working in the interface of genomics and computational biology. The position is for two years with possible extension, in an interdisciplinary project focused on nuclear RNA degradation. Our previous work in this area include:
- Chen et al, Nature Genetics 2016, DOI: 10.1038/ng.3616
- Thiefry et al, Plant Cell 2020, DOI: 10.1105/tpc.19.00815
- Andersson et al , Nature Reviews Genet 2020, DOI: 10.1038/s41576-019-01738
- Wu et al, NAR Genom Bioinform, 2022 DOI: 10.1093/nargab/lqac071
Nuclear RNA degradation is essential for all cells. Together with transcription, it determines RNA expression levels, which underlies all major cellular transitions in development and disease. Different transcripts have widely differing half-lives, which means nuclear RNA degradation is a key process in gene-specific expression regulation. Therefore, understanding nuclear RNA degradation is necessary to understand the biology of cells.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Researcher Position, Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen
“The Transformative Impact of High Ambition Commitments” project is funded by the Grundfos Foundation. The project focuses on C40’s Water Safe Cities Accelerator (WCSA), where 17 global cities have committed themselves to ambitious goals to improve urban resilience to water-related risks. Ninety percent of global disasters are accounted for by water-related climate hazards, and cities in low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected. These negative impacts will only be exacerbated further by the continuous unfolding of the climate crisis.
Through in-depth case studies in five selected cities, the project will investigate the process of translating WCSA’s high ambition commitments to local policies and on the ground action in different geographical contexts. The case studies will analyze the barriers and opportunities that cities face in the implementation process and how network support from C40 affects cities’ ability to achieve their goals. In parallel, the project will explore the potential of the C40 accelerator model, including its partnership with the Grundfos Foundation, to generate catalytic effects that lead to replication and scaling of action through the development of new coalitions, practices, and investments in signatory cities as well as the broader cohort of C40 cities and beyond. Through the project, we strive to inform and inspire cities globally to raise their ambitions and contribute new knowledge on how transnational networks can facilitate implementation of high ambition commitments and generate catalytic effects on the ground in specific cities. The project is a collaboration with the Queen Mary Center at the University of Copenhagen. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with a new hired project manager who will lead the project’s knowledge co-production approach throughout the research process.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: PostDoc on impacts of cyanobacteria across ecosystems boundaries
Cyanobacterial blooms can be a threat to insect biodiversity and their services by disrupting two fundamental freshwater supporting services: (i) resource provisioning, and (ii) habitat provisioning. First, cyanobacteria can negatively affect freshwater resource provisioning by producing potent toxic compounds for terrestrial organisms in need of freshwater resources, such as pollinators. Second, cyanobacteria can affect habitat provisioning for emerging insects by direct effects from toxins, but also by indirect effects via alterations in food web interactions. This research projet is part of the international project “CyaNoServices”, with collaboration partners from Sweden, Spain and Brazil. “CyaNoServices” aims to increase the security of freshwater supporting services for biodiversity threatened by harmful cyanobacteria beyond the aquatic boundary, with a focus on insect biodiversity and the multiple key ecosystem services that they provide to wildlife and human well-being. This research project will evaluate the multiple mechanisms by which harmful cyanobacterial blooms can affect the emerging insect community via changes in habitat quality.

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.
