About this position
Aarhus University is recruiting a Postdoc in DNA/RNA nanotechnology and cell regulation within the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) / Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics.
The position is part of the ERC-funded BioRIcON project and focuses on developing nucleic acid-based biohybrid interlocked molecules (BIMs), including artificial motors and switches, to probe and modulate cellular pathways. The work sits at the intersection of DNA/RNA nanotechnology, nucleic acid chemistry, cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, with potential biomedical applications.
Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field such as molecular biology, nanotechnology, biochemistry, nanoscience, medicinal chemistry, or chemistry. Required experience includes nucleic acid chemistry and/or DNA/RNA nanotechnology. Experience with cell assays, cell biology, and microscopy methods such as EM, TIRF, or AFM is a strong advantage; aptamer development, flow cytometry, binding assays, and confocal microscopy are additional pluses. Strong English skills and the ability to work collaboratively in an international team are required.
The appointment is a 2-year fixed-term, full-time postdoc starting around 1 June 2026. The application deadline is 12 April 2026 at 23:59 CEST. Applications must be submitted in English through Aarhus University’s recruitment system and include a CV, degree certificate, publication list, research plan, and relevant teaching/research documentation.
The role offers access to state-of-the-art facilities, a supportive interdisciplinary environment, and collaboration across academia and industry. The post is based at iNANO, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry, nanoscience, nanotechnology, medicinal chemistry or a similar field. Experience with nucleic acid chemistry and/or DNA/RNA nanotechnology is required. Experience in cell assays and cell biology is strongly preferred, and single-molecule microscopy techniques such as EM, TIRF, or AFM are a major advantage. Experience with aptamer development, flow cytometry, binding assays, and confocal microscopy is also advantageous. Strong communication skills, ability to work in an international team, and proficiency in written and spoken English are required.
