About this position
Postdoctoral position at the University of Copenhagen / Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) in the Hansen Group.
The project is titled “Deciphering the Oral–Liver Axis: Integrative Cross-Organ Multi-Omics Analysis” and focuses on translational research linking oral health and liver disease. The successful candidate will work on human genetics, salivary microbiome, metaproteomics, and longitudinal clinical data to identify causal mechanisms and biomarkers along the oral–liver axis.
This is a strongly computational postdoc role, with emphasis on multi-omics integration, large-scale biological data analysis, and biological interpretation. The role sits within an interdisciplinary environment spanning clinicians, method experts, and researchers in cardiometabolic health.
Eligibility and requirements: applicants should hold a PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genetics, systems biology, or a related field. The postdoc is aimed at early-career researchers with a strong scientific track record, experience in integrative omics analysis, and familiarity with GWAS, Mendelian randomization, colocalization, proteomics, metagenomics, longitudinal analysis, causal inference, and network/pathway analysis. Strong English communication skills and project management abilities are required.
Funding and terms: full-time appointment for 2 years. Salary, pension, and employment conditions follow the Danish Ministry of Finance and AC agreement; a supplement may be negotiated depending on qualifications. The fellowship is part of the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program.
Application window: deadline is 2026-08-10. Applicants must apply online in English and submit a cover letter, CV, degree certificates, publication list, and at least two references. If the PhD is not yet completed, a supervisor statement confirming completion before 2026-11-15 is required.
Contact: Sarah Grant (Research Coordinator), Sarah Christoffersen (program questions), HR at CBMR, and Torben Hansen are listed in the vacancy information.
