Post doc in developmental genetics
Vacant position as Post doc in developmental genetics (around 3 years) at Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen

Our research group focuses on molecular genetics of cardiac development and congenital heart disease (CHD). The post doc project will span from identification of disease genes in patients with heart defects to investigations of molecular mechanisms involved in heart development - with focus on left-right patterning. Functional characterization of cardiac developmental genes will be performed using the zebrafish as a model organism, and the project will include implementation of methods in zebrafish for gene targeting (e.g. TALENs) and phenotypic characterization of heart defects. Thus, we exclusively seek candidates with documented expertise in zebrafish developmental biology.

The position is part of the interdisciplinary research projectGlobal genes, local concerns: Legal, ethical and scientific challenges in cross-national biobanking and translational exploitation. The project involves researchers from the faculties of Law, Health, Humanities, and Science and deals with the legal, ethical and scientific challenges related to cross-national use of biobanks. The participants of the project are expected to engage in interdisciplinary research activities including joint workshops and conferences. More information about the project can be found at www.jura.ku.dk/globalgenes (website operational from April 1st 2013).
