About this position

Aarhus University is advertising a Postdoc in Neuroimmunity in Parkinson’s disease at the Department of Biomedicine, Faculty of Health in Aarhus, Denmark.

The project focuses on the immune aspect of the neurodegenerative process in Parkinson’s disease, with an emphasis on neuroimmunity, immunology, molecular/cell biology, and translational analysis of human blood immune cells. The successful candidate will investigate molecular pathways linked to neuroinflammation, including work on the cGAS–STING pathway, immune signaling, and gene expression. Methods mentioned include spectral flow cytometry, PBMC isolation and culture, ex vivo stimulation, multiplex ELISA/cytokine assays, western blotting, and transcriptomic analysis including bulk RNA-seq and scRNA-seq.
