We seek a medical doctor for a postdoctoral position to join our translational and interdisciplinary research centre. The postdoc position is limited to 12 months which a possibility for prolongation for another 12 months. The overall aim for the successful applicant is to help us understand how inactivity influences food choices, ad libitum intake and changes in gut hormones. The postdoc will independently conduct an inactivity study over 2 weeks in normally active men. The work will include conducting medical screenings of potential subjects for study inclusion, infusion of GLP1, testing food preferences and accessing libitum meal. The candidate will work on trying to understand how appetite regulation changes when humans who are normally physically active becomes inactive for a period of 2 weeks and how this is related to changes in gut-derived hormones.

About the Centre for Physical Activity Research (CFAS):
The research centre is headed by Professor Bente Klarlund Pedersen and the overall aim is to develop targeted exercise training regimes for specific disease groups by applying a translational and unconventional strategy that we label: “from man to molecule and back”. A key principle of CFAS is that the research carried out in the laboratories can find direct application in the real world. Thus, training regimes that demonstrate promising results in a laboratory setting will be further tested and developed in large patient groups in a model municipality and/or at a model hospital department before the optimal training mode is translated into relevant national health institutions.
