Research Assistant in Condensate Formations and Oscillatory Protein Concentrations in Cell Regulation
Join to apply for the Research Assistant role at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen
.
The Niels Bohr Institute, Section for Biocomplexity and Biophysics, invites applicants for a 2‑year position as Research Assistant in Phase Separation and Oscillations in the Cell Response
. The project is funded by the Novo‑Nordisk Foundation.
We will investigate how cells use liquid‑liquid phase separations to create biomolecular condensates and how transcription factors exhibit oscillatory dynamics that may regulate these condensates. The goal is to link transcription factor dynamics with condensate formation and understand their role in fine‑tuned cellular regulation.
Responsibilities- Perform theoretical studies of statistical physics, dynamical systems, and numerical methods related to phase separation.
- Collaborate with experimentalists for data analysis and model validation.
- Analyse and interpret experimental data to reveal mechanisms controlling condensate dynamics.
- Present results at conferences and in scientific publications.
- Strong background in theoretical physics, especially statistical physics and dynamical systems.
- Experience with numerical simulations and data analysis.
- Basic knowledge of cellular biology.
- Excellent English communication skills; fluency in another language is an advantage.
- Strong motivation for interdisciplinary research and teamwork.
The position is a fixed‑term appointment of two years, starting 1 April 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. Salary will be negotiated on the basis of the Danish academic scale.
Application ProcessTo apply, submit your Curriculum Vitae, diploma and transcripts, and a publication list in English electronically.
The Final date to receive applications is 4 January 2026, 23:59 CET.
