Overview
The Section for Functional Genomics, University of Copenhagen is recruiting one PhD student for a 3 year project to work on DNA repair factories and genome integrity in the research group of Michael Lisby. The Functional Genomics section employs around 45 researchers, and has much international collaboration with high-profile groups. The group is housed in the newly built Biocenter in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
A successful candidate will investigate DNA repair pathways in yeast cells using molecular genetics and cell biological approaches. The candidate will have responsibility for several high throughput screens to identify novel factors involved in maintaining genome integrity and for the subsequent characterization of these factors in yeast and in animal cells.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual with an MSc degree in molecular biology or equivalent. Previous experience with molecular biology techniques such as ChIP, Co-IP, realtime RT-PCR, PCR, western blotting, siRNA transfection, cloning, fluorescence microscopy and immunostaining will be considered a plus. Fluency in spoken and written English is a strong requirement. The scholarship is open to both Danish and international applicants.
This PhD stipend will be funded by a grant from the European Research Council.
An assessment committee will be appointed to evaluate the applications. The final selection of a successful candidate will be made by Dr. Michael Lisby and Head of Department, based on the recommendations of the evaluation committee. The successful candidate will then be requested to formally apply for enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD school of Science, University of Copenhagen.
Terms of appointment and payment are in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Federation of Professional Associations (AC). The starting salary for candidates with an MSc degree will be a minimum of DKK 300.174 per year (April 2010 level) plus pension contribution DKK 41.013 and the possibility to negotiate wage.
The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
