About:
Applications are invited for the PhD scholarship program in Quantitative Modelling of Cell Metabolism (QMCM) at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, Studying homeostasis is relevant for the understanding and treatment of complex diseases, particular with the emergence of personalized medicine. It is equally important when we seek to repurpose the cellular machinery for the production of desired chemicals, materials and pharmaceuticals. In this process, the cells’ homeostatic control mechanisms must be either disabled or exploited.

- The ideal candidate will have a B.Eng./M.Sc. degree in biological engineering or similar and have achieved outstanding results in their education. Experience in metabolic modelling is an advantage as well as scientific publications.
Scholarship:
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years.
