PhD in Neurobiology - The Neurocenter, Rigshospitalet, Danish Headache Center, Glostrup

jobbeskrivelse:
The Danish Headache Center is inviting applications for a PhD position in neurobiology of pain with specific focus on migraine. The position is 3 years PhD scholarship, until end of 2021, starting as soon as possible. It is primarily an experimental research position and the successful applicant will become part of a project focusing on understanding the mechanisms behind migraine related pain using CRISPR/Cas technology and KO animals in collaboration with Berkeley (USA) and Inserm (France).

The central focus of the research group is to understand mechanisms underlying headache, providing new targets for more efficient medicine and understanding problems with the present treatments. The group employs a broad palette of techniques and strategies with a central focus on animal experimental work and molecular cell biology. The successful applicant is expected to integrate fully our with research teams and participate in both animal and cell experimental work. Both in vivo animal and in vitro laboratory work will become a substantial part of the new responsibilities. The position requires a person that can carry out research experiments and projects independently, but function well in a dynamic and collaborative environment with support from both colleagues and supervisors.

Responsibilities and tasks

• Conduct laboratory research experiments. These include mainly work with rodent pain models and primary cells using CRISPR/Cas technology, molecular imaging and general molecular biology techniques.
• Independently carry out defined research projects
• Communicate research results: presenting data at staff meetings and national and international conferences, and manuscripts for publication.
• Work in close collaboration with technical research staff and students.
• Contribute to the general work carried out by the group as a unit, including discussions and planning of strategies and projects.
• Qualifications
• We seek a candidate that is capable of working independently, but that is motivated by both personal and team accomplishments.

Desirable qualifications

• Hold a Master degree in life sciences (e.g. background from Biology, Molecular Biomedicine, Pharmacy, Biochemistry).
• Experience with in vivo work, preferably within neurobiology.
• Experience with in vitro work, preferably also with CRISP/Cas.
• Good English communications skills, oral and written.
• Experience with independent scientific research and completion of research projects (peer-reviewed publications).

We offer
The Danish Headache Center at Rigshospitalet is the leading research center on the neurology behind headache and is globally recognized for the excellence of its research and clinical work. For the successful applicant we offer strong supervision and support throughout the PhD in a rewarding international environment.

Further information
Further information may be obtained from Senior Scientist, David Møbjerg Kristensen, david.moebjerg.boslev.kristensen (at) regionh.dk.

Application procedure
Please submit your online application no later than Friday December 14. Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. The file must include:

• Application (cover letter)
• CV
• Diploma (MSc)
• List of publications
• List of 2-3 referees that may be contacted during the interview phase

Applications and enclosures received after the deadline will not be considered.
