About this position

This postdoctoral opening is hosted by the Dept. of Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism, Team III at the Maj Institute of Pharmacology Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow, Poland. The selected researcher will join a small, collaborative team working on an NCN OPUS 26 project focused on how prenatal exposure to semaglutide may influence neurodevelopment.

The project investigates a timely and clinically relevant question: semaglutide has become widely used for type 2 diabetes and obesity, including among women of reproductive age, raising concerns about possible effects on fetal development. The research centers on in vivo studies examining whether exposure during early pregnancy can alter offspring nervous system development through changes in synaptic plasticity, neuronal connectivity, and cognitive functions associated with GLP-1R signaling.

The postdoc will contribute to experimental planning and execution, with work spanning biochemical, molecular, and behavioral analyses. The role includes handling biological material, carrying out laboratory measurements, optimizing experimental procedures, and processing data to assess potential neurotoxic effects in animal models. The advertised team emphasizes independence, open communication, and knowledge sharing, while also supporting scientific publications and conference presentations.

The position is embedded in a research environment where the successful candidate will work closely with Team III and participate in the scientific and organizational activities of project implementation. The offer highlights hands-on research experience, the freedom to pursue project-related scientific ideas, and the opportunity to develop experimental and analytical skills in a focused pharmacology and neurobiology setting.
