PhD on developmental disruption
The Department of Growth and Reproduction, Rigshospitalet, Denmark
The Department of Growth and Reproduction is inviting applications for a PhD position studying how developmental disruption can result in adverse health outcomes. The position is a 3 year PhD scholarship, until the end of 2028, starting on September 1st 2025. The successful applicant will become part of a project focusing on how everyday pharmaceuticals, such as over-the-counter paracetamol, impact cell biology during development in collaboration with Harvard University. This is primarily an experimental research position, but will also involve additional tasks, and could include contributing to the group’s work on human studies.
The focus of the research group is to understand mechanisms underlying endocrine disruption, resulting in e.g. reduced reproductive health and/or increase neurodevelopmental disorders. The group employs a broad palette of techniques and strategies with a central focus on experimental molecular cell biology. The successful applicant is expected to integrate fully our with research teams and participate in both animal and cell experimental work. In vitro laboratory work will be a substantial part of the work and may include mechanistic studies on human as well as rodent cells and tissues. The position requires a person that can carry out research experiments and projects independently, but that also functions well in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
Responsibilities and tasks
We seek a candidate that is capable of working independently, but that is motivated by both personal and team accomplishments.
Essential qualifications:
The Department of Growth and Reproduction is an international center for research in developmental disruption by xenobiotics. The Department functions as a global hub for research and training on how genetics, lifestyle, and xenobiotic factors adversely affect sex, brain, and puberty development. The Department uses a translational research approach and includes clinical and basic scientists, epidemiologists, clinicians, and public health professionals.
Further information
Further information may be obtained from Professor, David Møbjerg Kristensen, david.moebjerg.boslev.kristensen@regionh.dk.
Application procedure
Please submit your online application no later than Friday June 6. Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. The file must include:

Responsibilities and tasks
- Conduct laboratory research experiments, including work on cell lines and primary cells, embryos, molecular imaging and general molecular biology techniques.
- Independently carry out defined research projects.
- Communicate research results: present data at staff meetings as well as national and international conferences and prepare manuscripts for publication.
- Work in close collaboration with technical research staff and students.
- Contribute to the general work carried out by the group as a unit, including discussions and planning of strategies and projects.

Essential qualifications:
- Hold a Master’s degree in life sciences (e.g. background from Biology, Molecular Biomedicine, Pharmacy, Biochemistry or Medicine).
- Experience with in vitro and in vivo work.
- Good English communications skills, oral and written.
- Experience with independent scientific research and completion of research projects (peer-reviewed publications).
