PhD Position for Studying Adipose Tissue Lipoprotein Clearance

Employment type: FULLTIME. Requisition: 3127952. The Ravnskjaer lab at the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark, invites applications from outstanding candidates who are interested in joining our team as PhD fellow. The position is available from December 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Ravnskjaer lab is headed by Assoc. Prof. Kim Ravnskjaer and focuses on the molecular basis for cardiometabolic health. We combine comprehensive studies of human biopsies with targeted gene disruption in advanced preclinical models, single cell transcriptomics, and bioimaging.

Expertise in wet-lab and computational biology, close ties to the clinic, and a wonderful team of early career scientists give us the agility to swiftly move from hypotheses to biological insights and mechanism. Our lab is based in the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit, which constitutes an international, ambitious, dynamic, and well-resourced working environment.

Our unit and department have state-of-the-art facilities for flow cytometry, next generation sequencing, single-cell transcriptomics, mass spectrometry, metabolomics, bioimaging, and transgenic mouse work. Strategic research alliances exist with regional hospitals including Odense University Hospital (OUH)1 …
