About this position
Postdoctoral position in Embryo Epigenetics at the University of Copenhagen, in the Stewart-Morgan group within the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (ICMM), Panum Institute, Denmark.
The project focuses on epigenetic dynamics and mammalian development, using both in vivo and in vitro systems to study the role of the epigenome in development. The role involves designing experimental strategies, generating and analyzing complex datasets, writing scientific manuscripts, and potentially contributing to grant applications, supervision of MSc and PhD students, teaching, and outreach.
Applicants must have a PhD in life sciences or a similar field, with experience in mouse genetics and an active interest in epigenetics, genome regulation, or gametogenesis. Strong English communication skills and teamwork ability are required. Desirable experience includes mouse embryology, IVF, flow cytometry, imaging, and bioinformatic analysis of functional genomics data such as RNA-seq and bisulfite sequencing.
This is a 3-year postdoctoral position with the possibility of extension. Salary, pension, and employment conditions follow the Danish academic agreement, with possible qualification-based supplements.
Application deadline: 15 September 2026. Start date: 1 January 2027 or by agreement. Apply online in English and upload a motivation letter, CV, PhD/MSc certificates or supervisor statement if the PhD is unfinished, and a publication list.
