-Proficiency in Danish is considered a bonus.
-Experience with supervision of MSc and/or PhD students

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The post doc´s duties will include research within the field of porcine induced pluripotent stem cells. In particular, generation of novel pluripotent cell lines and production of chimeric embryos and offspring will be the primary tasks of the project. The position will include analyses of global DNA methylation in cells prior to and after reprogramming (in collaboration with international Partner). The post may include teaching in the field of Anatomy and/or Cell Biology, to a limited extent, and will include supervision of bachelor undergraduate and postgraduate student research programs.
