PhD fellowship in type 1 diabetes – understanding development and early progression of type 1 diabetes.
A PhD fellowship is available at the Type 1 Diabetes
Biology research group at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen (SDCC), University
of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The position is open for medical doctors with interest
in clinical research within the cross field of diabetology and pediatrics. The
position is open from May 1st 2018 or as soon as possible
thereafter.
SDCC is a hospital specialized in diabetes care, research and prevention and is
a part of the Capital Region of Denmark (RegionH)
The PhD study will be a collaborative project carried out at SDCC in Gentofte and
Department of Pediatrics at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital under the supervision
of Professor Flemming Pociot, SDCC, Head of Systems Medicine Cristina Legido
Quigley, and Associate Professor Jesper Johannesen, Herlev and Gentofte
Hospital. The PhD will be part of the Department of Type 1 Diabetes Biology at
SDCC (headed by Flemming Pociot).
About the project
The aim is to investigate changes in (i) metabolomics
and (ii) insulin sensitivity during T1D remission phase in children/adolescents
and in adults. The characterization of the remission phase will follow a newly
implemented design, e.g. by measuring endogenous insulin production, adding
metabolomics and insulin sensitivity (IS) characterization during the first 12
months post-diagnosis. Specifically, the PhD student will work closely together
on the remission cohort with another PhD student responsible for the
metabolomics research.
This collaborative setup will (i) add new and significant information to the
phenotypic characterization and (ii) describe the putative differences during
the remission phase in children/adolescents and adults. These new insights may
potentially harbor modes of intervention aiming at prolonging the remission
phase in children and adults, putatively by different intervention strategies
as this research design comprising both children and adolescents most likely
will identify different phenotypic characteristics of the T1D remission phase.
What we offer
We offer an exciting multidisciplinary research environment with top-class
laboratory and office facilities. A friendly and sociable atmosphere and
intercross collaborations and research disciplines are characteristics of SDCC.
We have large networks of national and international relations offering great

Terms
The PhD candidate will be offered a full-time position for a period of
three years. Employment will be in accordance with the relevant collective agreement
within the Capital Region of Denmark.

candidate will preferably have interest in pediatrics and diabetology.

work in a team are all important qualities. The successful candidate will be
responsible for the daily management of his/her research project in
coordination with the supervisor and other members of the group.
