A keen interest in applying your expertise to drug development is essential.

Ideal candidates will possess:

  • A Ph.D. in human genetics, statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, pharmacogenomics, or related fields, with significant contributions to high-impact scientific literature.
  • Several years of postdoctoral experience in the genetics of rare diseases, particularly in rare blood and/or endocrine disorders.
  • Proficiency in high-performance computing systems and programming languages for analyzing large-scale datasets, such as R or Python.
  • Experience with large-scale genetic datasets and GWAS, including marker-trait and gene-trait associations.
  • Strong communication skills for conveying insights and presenting concepts to diverse audiences.
  • A self-motivated approach and the ability to collaborate effectively within interdisciplinary teams.

Experience with omics data handling and analysis, particularly in clinical trial contexts, will be viewed favorably.

About the Department:

You will join our Translational Genomics & Precision Medicine Department, part of the Human Genetics Centre of Excellence (CoE). The CoE is dedicated to utilizing data science and human genetics to discover and develop novel drug targets and biomarkers through various human-centric methodologies.

Working at Novo Nordisk:

As a leading life-science company, we are committed to improving lives through innovative research and development. Our mission is to empower individuals to lead lives free from chronic diseases.

Application Process:

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications through our careers portal, as we do not accept direct resumes.
