Job [Copenhagen]: postdoc on time, metabolism, and the body
Medical Museion at the University of Copenhagen is advertising a 3 year
position as part of a new international postdoc program at the NNF
Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR): www.museion.ku.dk/2019/03/body
LOCATION: Medical Museion is a combined university museum and
interdisciplinary research unit, and hosts CBMR's Program for Metabolic
Science in Culture. The Program aims to situate metabolic science in its
cultural, historical, and philosophical context, through both research
and public engagement.
PROJECT: The project ‘Body Time: Metabolism, Multicyclic Being, and
Temporal Environments’ will investigate the experiences, scientific
understandings, and philosophical implications of being a body that is
highly sensitive to time and light; from the daily circadian clocks
running inside our cells to monthly, seasonal, and generational cycles.
The precise focus and methods of the postdoc research are open to the
interests and skills of the successful candidate, and the project will
be informed by collaboration with Center scientists working on circadian
biology. The postdoc will also contribute to the development of public
engagement projects at Medical Museion that take up the themes and
outcomes of the research.
