Assistant Professor in vascular inflammation and proteomics at Department of Biomedical Sciences

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences University of Copenhagen We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic Assistant Professor for a 3 year position, commencing 21st November 2026. The position focuses on how the complement system changes with ageing in the vascular wall, with particular emphasis on proteomic changes in arteries in aged humans and rodents with and without hypertension.

The successful candidate will develop an independent research profile while contributing to collaborative research and teaching in an interdisciplinary biomedical environment.

Information on the department can be found at: https://bmi.ku.dk Our research The Jepps Lab at the University of Copenhagen is an exciting, highly translational vascular biology group where myography and cardiovascular physiology meet cutting-edge mass spectrometry and proteomics to uncover new mechanisms driving hypertension and vascular inflammation.

By combining functional measurements of arterial tone and remodeling with deep proteomic profiling, the lab moves seamlessly from identifying disease-associated proteins and pathways to testing their physiological relevance in experimental models1 …
