The Kragelund-group at the Structural Biology and NMR laboratory (SBiNLab), Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, is looking for highly motivated postdoc(s) to join projects on intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions addressing how they function at the membrane. The postdoc positions are initially for 2 years, starting 1 November 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The projects are highly interdisciplinary and connect general biophysics and biochemistry with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and NMR spectroscopy.
Information on the Kragelund-group can be found at:

Our research
The Kragelund-group focuses on the interaction of IDPs and IDRs with other biomolecules and on how disorder help expand molecular communication. We aim to provide a detailed understanding of how structural disorder leads to regulatory diversity and how this diversity relates to biological function. To achieve these goals, we are part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Challenge Center REPIN – rethinking protein interactions, joining 5 different research groups in Europe. Additionally, we have state-of-the-art facilities for recombinant protein production and analytical tools such as CD, ITC, MST, nano-DSF, Q-TOF MS for biophysical and biochemical characterization. Our main technique is biomolecular NMR spectroscopy, and we have regular access to synchrotron SAXS.
Your job
The successful applicant will focus on understanding the biological role of of intrinsically disordered regions either of membrane proteins or acidic proteins in the extracellular matrix. Initial studies on cytokine receptors and alarmins will be used to define further directions and the successful applicant(s) will be involved in developing the projects.
Profile
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist(s) with the following competencies and experience:
- You have a PhD in chemistry, biochemistry, structural biology, biotechnology or similar
- You are highly experienced in recombinant protein expression and purification
- You are highly experienced in one or more of the following techniques: NMR spectroscopy, SAXS, ITC.
- Prior publications in internationally recognized journals to which you have contributed significantly
- Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams
- Excellent English skills, both written and spoken
The employment is at BIO, University of Copenhagen. BIO is located in the Biocenter, in the Northern Campus, close to the centre of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment. SBiNLab joins three research groups from BIO, UCPH; all interested in proteins combining biophysics, NMR spectroscopy and computation.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
