PhD Fellowships in Transcriptional Regulation:
The University of Copenhagen is offering 2 or more PhD fellowships in transcriptional regulation at the DNRF Center of Excellence, Center for Gene Expression (CGEN). This opportunity is available within the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and aims to enhance understanding of gene expression processes.
Designation:
PhD Fellowships in Transcriptional Regulation
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Research Area | Transcriptional Regulation |
| Location | University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Mærsk Tower, Panum Institute |
| Eligibility/Qualification | Master’s degree in biology, biochemistry, molecular biomedicine, bioinformatics or similar fields. Must be equivalent to a Danish master’s degree. |

Description:
The CGEN center encourages young researchers to engage in innovative research focused on gene expression processes. The PhD candidates will work on independent research projects, contributing to understanding the mechanisms of gene transcription and translation. This will include questions about the relationship between mRNA processing, the role of RNA polymerase II, and the impacts of non-coding RNAs on translation.
During the first 6 months, candidates will formulate their PhD projects and familiarize themselves with ongoing research tasks. PhD students will also undertake required courses, engage in research environments, gain teaching experience, and complete a dissertation based on their projects.
