From the description:
The Centre for Advanced Studies in Biomedical Innovation Law (CeBIL), Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher for a fully funded three (3)-year period. We are looking for candidates with innovative and original ideas.
The successful candidate can commence from 1 July 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter.
About CeBIL
CeBIL explores legal challenges and rapid developments in the biotechnological area (broadly defined). CeBIL brings together scholars from some of the world’s leading research institutions in interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as stakeholders from industry, government, and civil society. Alongside other projects, CeBIL hosts the Collaborative Research Program for Biomedical Innovation Law (CeBIL Program). This 5-year research programme (2018-22) is supported by a grant of DKK 35 million from the Novo Nordisk Foundation and involves partners from Cambridge Law School, Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, Michigan Law School, and the UCPH’s Department ofFood and Resource Economics (IFRO) in Copenhagen.
The CeBIL Program examines innovation inefficiencies on life science frontiers through five concrete interrelated studies. The common aim of the five studies is to optimise legal concepts into enabling tools that will help bring novel technologies, research, and biomedicine together for radical innovation. The core aim is to contribute to bridging bio-pharmaceutical innovation gaps, enhancing translational medicine, and promoting technology transfer. Within this context, special focus will also be laid on the impact of emerging digital technologies, big data and artificial intelligence. An overarching study on Policy & Synergy will ensure continuous knowledge exchange and synergy across the five concrete studies:
Study 1: Antibiotics
Study 2: Orphan Drugs
Study 3: Precision Medicine, Big Data & Artificial Intelligence
Study 4: New Uses
Study 5: Drug Manufacturing & Biologics
Study 6: Policy & Synergy

Area of Research
The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to work on Study 6: Policy & Synergy. The CeBIL management reserves, however, the right to recruit candidates for one of the other five studies instead should their academic profile and research plan provide an even better fit for the CeBIL Program as a whole.
