We are looking for a motivated and curious Laboratory Technician/ Biomedical Laboratory Scientist to join the HistoLab within the Rodent Metabolic Phenotyping Platform (RMPP). The expected start date is June 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.
This position offers an excellent opportunity for a newly educated or early-career technician who would like to develop their skills in histology and contribute to cutting-edge metabolic research in an international research environment.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneers groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research CBMR aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. The Center's uniquely multi- and interdisciplinary approach combines research in genetics, physiology and pharmacology, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors that drive cardiometabolic disease. You can learn more in the Executive Summary of CBMR's Strategy 2024–2028.
CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at the Panum building since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.
The position is based in the Rodent Metabolic Phenotyping Platform (RMPP), which provides advanced phenotyping services to researchers studying metabolism and metabolic diseases. The platform supports a wide range of research projects by performing specialized analyses of rodent tissues and physiological parameters.
Within RMPP, the HistoLab plays a key role in providing high-quality histological analyses, supporting multiple research groups across CBMR and external collaborators. The lab works with a wide range of histological techniques to investigate tissue morphology, cellular signaling, and metabolic processes.
