About this position

University of Copenhagen is advertising a part-time 2-year postdoc in mass spectrometry for quantitative proteomics at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, within the Copenhagen Center for Glycocalyx Research and the Olsen Group.

The project focuses on quantitative proteomics, spatial proteomics, phosphoproteomics, FFPE biopsy material, plasma, and extracellular vesicle proteomics. The successful candidate will develop and apply mass spectrometry-based workflows for cancer diagnosis and translational cancer research, including laser-capture microdissection, whole-slide imaging, ultra-sensitive nDIA-MS, and Orbitrap Astral Zoom-based acquisition strategies.

The research environment is described as vibrant, ambitious, international, and strongly connected to national and international collaborations, including the Danish National Research Foundation Center for Glycocalyx Research and projects such as ADIPOHealth and single-cell proteomics work on PTMs in health and disease.

Applicants should have a PhD in Life Sciences or a related field and strong publication and technical experience in spatial proteomics, phosphoproteomics, large-cohort proteomics, DIA workflows, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis. Excellent English and teamwork skills are required. Desirable experience includes student supervision and familiarity with Orbitrap Astral Zoom, Vanquish NEO LC, and Evosep ENO LC.

The position is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Salary starts at 26,170 DKK/month plus pension contributions, and tax reductions may be available for eligible applicants. The application deadline is 2026-10-15.

Apply online in English and upload a motivated letter, CV, PhD and MSc certificates (or supervisor statement if the PhD is not completed), and a publication list.
