PhD Position 80-100% in human metabolism and breath analysis at the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Clinical Nutrition

Your responsibilities

Your main task will be to design, organize and conduct clinical studies in the field of human nutrition and metabolism.

This includes all tasks that are part of conducting a clinical study: drafting and submitting ethics proposals, planning the study, supervising study participants, collecting data and biosamples, analysing data and writing manuscripts with the aim of publication in high-ranking journals and presentation at international conferences. You get the opportunity to participate in the PhD program Clinical Science, attend courses and to be involved in teaching activities.
