The Ploug-group at the Finsen Laboratory is looking for a highly motivated postdoc to join a project on intravascular regulation of lipoprotein lipase activity with a focus on protein structure, dynamics, and metastability. The postdoc position is initially for 3 years, starting October 1st 2023 or soon thereafter.
This is a highly interdisciplinary project between six international research institutions with synergy arising from combined expertise in biophysics, biochemistry, cell biology, and physiology. The Finsen Laboratory hosts six research groups and is located in the Copenhagen Biocenter with an affiliation to Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet) as well as BRIC at the University of Copenhagen.
Information on the Ploug-group can be found at:

Our research
The Ploug-group focuses on the biochemical and biophysical characterization of disease-relevant proteins and their ligands. We provide a detailed understanding of how a given pathway maintains homeostasis in normal physiology and why certain aberrations—such as missense mutations—cause dysregulation resulting in pathophysiology. To achieve these goals we have state-of-the-art facilities for protein production and analytical tools such as SPR, MST, nano-DSF, MALDI-TOF/TOF MS, CD, HDX-MS and SEC-MALS for biochemical characterization.
Your job
The successful applicant will focus on characterizing the interplay between lipoprotein lipase (a metastable enzyme) and its regulators using state-of-the-art biophysical approaches.
Profile
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic scientists with the following competencies and experience:
- You have a PhD in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics or similar
- You are highly experienced in protein expression and purification preferably using eukaryotic expression hosts
- You are highly experienced in one or more of the following techniques: enzyme kinetics, HDX-MS, surface plasmon resonance, CD, protein modelling.
- Prior publication(s) in internationally recognized journals to which you have contributed significantly
- Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams
- Excellent English skills, both written and spoken
The employment is at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. BRIC is located in the Biocenter, close to the centre of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.
Terms of employment
Salary, pension and other conditions of employment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations) or other relevant organisation. Currently, the monthly salary starts at 35,000 DKK/approx. 4,700 EUR (October 2021 level). Depending on qualifications, a supplement may be negotiated. The employer will pay an additional 17.1 % to your pension fund.
Foreign and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark the last 10 years.
The position is covered by the Job Structure for Academic Staff at Universities 2020.
