Qualification
We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated person at the senior postdoctoral level with a strong publication record preferably in the area of cancer research.
Your qualifications will be assessed by an evaluation committee consisting of the Director of the Research Center, a Unit Leader, and an external senior scientist. Emphasis will be put on excellence, and the best qualified candidates will be invited for an interview. The successful candidate will have major influence on the choice of research theme to be established.

We offer
We offer a high degree of scientific independence but also provide guidance and support by allowing a free access to the state of the art technologies and by affiliating the successful Group Leader to one of the six core research units of the center headed by the leaders in their respective fields (www.cancer.dk/research). A startup budget for a 5-year period will be provided upon further negotiation, including laboratory and office space as appropriate. The successful applicant will be encouraged to expand the group by applying for additional funds.

Working place
The DCRC is located in a pleasant, recently renovated and modern campus. The laboratories are equipped with the stateof-the-art technology, IT and bioinformatics services, and Denmark has especially good conditions for epidemiological and translational research due to the existence of a variety of nation-wide registries. We are conveniently located close to Copenhagen City and well connected with relevant academic institutions and research hospitals in the large Copenhagen area. The DCRC is a very international environment, and the everyday working language is English.

Additional information
More information can be obtained directly from Jorgen H. Olsen, Director of DCRC, +45 3525 7654 or jorgen@cancer.dk.

Application
The application should be written in English. Apart from the standard documents (CV, list of publications, certificates, diplomas), a strong emphasis in selecting the candidate will be put on a detailed cover letter explaining the applicant’s motivations and research plans for a 5-year period. Reference letter(s) from the previous working places are also requested.
The application labeled ‘DCRC Group Leader’ should be submitted via the electronic form at the Danish Cancer Society’s homepage www.cancer.dk/job.
