The posting

The translational pharmacology research group at Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Environmental Medicine (CPPEM), Department of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southern Denmark, invites applications for a fully funded 18 months postdoctoral position. The position is to be filled from January 1st, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

About the Research Environment

The research areas of CPPEM span from pharmacoepidemiology to clinical studies, and cell-based basic pharmacology and environmental medicine. Collectively, CPPEM has a strong background in exposure to environmental chemicals, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacogenetics, pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interactions, and therapeutic drug monitoring. Specifically, the translational pharmacology group aims to understand variability in drug toxicity, drug metabolism and drug transport. Examples of this include cell-based models such as induced-pluripotent stem cells, primary human hepatocytes, and clinical studies. The pharmacoepidemiological research group utilizes the world-class Danish registries as well as international data sources to assess pharmacological questions in large populations. The environmental medicine group studies the impact of early life exposures to environmental chemicals. In particular PFAS is a focus area, with studies of the adverse health effects of exposure, biomonitoring and advising national and international authorities. The analytical chemistry laboratory analyzes concentrations of drugs or environmental chemicals in various matrices.

In the Environmental Medicine group we are looking for a post doc funded by Novo Nordic Foundation and ERC advanced grant. The projects focus on the Odense Child Cohort and study the impact of early life exposures to environmental chemicals. Especially PFAS and their adverse effects on maternal and child health (e.g. the brain, immune, metabolic and reproductive system). In addition, we aim to identify toxicity of short PFAS including trifluoroacetic acid, widely used but considered less toxic due to their short half-life.

We are seeking a candidate with a PhD in medicine, pharmacology, public health, or a related discipline. Work within environmental medicine is an advance, and epidemiological and statistical skills are essential. Motivation, curiosity, and a strong drive to excel in environmental research are very important. Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English is a requirement. The position includes independent scientific writing, clinical project leading, and supervision of students. You should be interested in contributing both to the scientific armamentarium in our department and to our collegial culture. It is also expected that the post doc contributes to additional fundraising for the projects as well as research collaborations and the continuation of the Odense Child Cohort, and takes on teaching responsibilities within the department. You will, in your daily work, refer to Professor Tina Kold Jensen, but also engage in a very active collaboration with the full research group.

Your qualifications

  • PhD in medicine, pharmacology, public health, or a related discipline.
  • Experience within environmental medicine is considered an advantage
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Ability to work independently with scientific writing and publication
  • Interest in and experience with supervision of students
  • Commitment to contributing to both scientific excellence and a positive collegial culture within the department
  • Interest in establishing and maintaining national and international research collaboration

Further information

Interviews can be performed online if needed. If you will need to relocate to Denmark for the position, both the University and the research group will provide ample support.

Additional information about the position can be obtained from Tina Kold Jensen ([email protected]; 0045 29464350).
