PhD, Department of Infectious Diseases, Rigshospitalet
We are
looking for a full-time PhD student for a project at Department of Infectious
Diseases, Rigshospitalet. The project will focus on: Immune
function as predictor of infections and graft rejections in patients undergoing
solid organ transplantation (SOT).
As PhD
student, you will be centrally involved in inclusion of patients in a protocol
that utilizes novel functional immunological analyses (TruCulture). TruCulture
is established at Department of Clinical Immunology, Rigshospitalet, to monitor
patients with immune deficiencies.
You
will work in close collaboration with clinical and laboratory departments at
Rigshospitalet involved in SOT and closely together with PERSIMUNE, a Centre of
Excellence appointed by the Danish National Research Foundation
(www.persimune.dk).
The
PhD project will focus on 1) mapping the pattern of infections in solid organ
transplant patients, 2) determine the impact of immunosuppressive treatment on
the immune function, 3) determine if markers of immune function can be used to
identify patients with high risk of developing infections.
The
project will be designed together with the PhD student, and depending on
his/her interests, the work may include patient contact, laboratory work and/or
database handling and analysis of large datasets. The position is initially for
a one year period where you and key researchers will prepare a research
protocol forming the basis for the submission of a PhD application to the
University of Copenhagen. Depending on the outcome, the position will be
extended for the duration of the PhD study.
The
supervisors for this PhD position will be medical doctors and
biostatisticians/bioinformaticians with experience in infectious diseases,
clinical immunology and solid organ transplantation. The supervisors will
oversee the development of the PhD application and act as advisors during the
course of the PhD study.
Qualifications
You
are a trained physician. Prior research experience, or knowledge and interest of
infectious diseases, transplantation or clinical immunology including
laboratory skills will be viewed as an advantage. You have excellent IT and communication
skills and you are able to use Danish as well as English as working language.
We
value and expect that you are able to work independently, systematic,
goal-oriented, responsible and flexible. In return we offer a dynamic
environment with ambitious, dedicated colleagues who seek an atmosphere of
trust and transparency and like to have fun.
Conditions
Salary and
employment conditions are in accordance with current public agreements between the
Capital Region of Copenhagen and AC. Your work place will be Department of
Infectious Diseases at Rigshospitalet.
The position is
funded by research grants.
We want to reflect
