Job Description
Postdoc/Assistant professor in Drosophila Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology
We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced postdoc for a 2‑year fixed‑term part‑time position at the Department of Neuroscience, Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen. The position commences 1 May 2026.
The project is funded by a Lundbeck Experiment Grant awarded to Ole Kjaerulff. Its aim is to use accelerated evolution in the Drosophila model to identify mutations that increase resilience against Parkinson’s disease. The Kjaerulff group is an interdisciplinary team working at the intersection of Drosophila genetics, cell biology, and protein chemistry.
Your job
Your main task will be to establish in the lab a Drosophila Parkinson’s disease model expressing a transgenic mutator enzyme, and to create and implement a workflow for assaying disease severity, whole‑genome sequencing and evaluation of the mutations.
