Vacant PhD fellowship at the Copenhagen Center for Glycocalyx Research
We are offering a PhD fellowship in the Copenhagen Center for Glycocalyx Research, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, commencing 1 February 2026, or as soon as possible hereafter.
About the Copenhagen Center for Glycocalyx Research (CGR)
The Copenhagen Center for Glycocalyx Research (CGR) aims to uncover the vital role of the glycocalyx, a cell surface layer of complex glycans, that integrates signals from cells and their environment. By focusing on how cell surface receptors, glycans and glycan-binding proteins affect cellular interactions, CGR seeks to understand the influence of the glycocalyx influence on health and disease. CGR will explore changes in the glycocalyx linked to diseases such as inflammation, tissue degeneration, and cancer, paving the way for new treatments and precision medicine.
The position
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic PhD student with backgrounds in data science, bioinformatics, protein design, biochemistry, mass spectrometry, cell biology, molecular biology, genetic engineering, medicine or related fields.
You will be part of a collaborative team within ICMM and the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Glycocalyx Research (CGR) working closely with international leaders in mass spectrometry, glycoscience, and cell biology.
Application deadline: Sunday 30 November 2025, 23.59 p.m. CET.
