OPENINGS IN THE AUTZEN GROUP
PhD fellowship
in membrane protein structure and function
Are you curious about how membrane proteins work at the atomic level? Join our team to explore their structure and function using state-of-the-art techniques like cryo-EM and native nanodiscs. You will be part of an ambitious and supportive research environment where no two days are alike and where your scientific growth is a shared priority.
POSTDOC POSITION
in taste receptor pharmacology
Do you want to uncover the molecular logic of how taste receptors signal? We are looking for a motivated postdoc to investigate taste receptor pharmacology in a vibrant, multidisciplinary setting. You will work closely with structural biologists to push the boundaries of membrane protein research while enjoying an engaging team culture and strong scientific network.

Reseach environment
The successful applicant will become a member of a young and vibrant research group consisting of six full-time members (two postdocs, two PhD students, one lab technician, one ERASMUS student) and part of the theme in Molecular and Translational Pharmacology at the Department of Biomedical Sciences consisting of approximately 50 members. We house state-of-the-art facilities for large-scale mammalian protein production, purification, biochemical and biophysical characterizations, a cluster for high-performance computing of cryo-EM data and have access to state-of-the-art cryo-EM facilities at the Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy (CFIM) located on campus.
Our lab is built on community, trust, openness, honesty, and solidarity and strives to embody the scientific method, objectivity, and reproducibility. We value open science, knowledge and data sharing and science communication to a wider audience, ultimately bridging the gap between society and research.
Informal inquiries should be sent directly to Henriette.

Despite cold and rainy days in plenty, Denmark is among the happiest according to the World Happiness Report (WHR) and Copenhagen is regularly ranked among top 5 cities to live in, particularly for European expats. Most Copenhageners still choose the bike to commute to work with, as there is no such thing as bad weather, only poorly chosen outer layer of clothes.
