Postdoc in translational neuro-oncology and cancer neuroscience (multi-omics, glioblastoma, bioinformatics) Aarhus University in Denmark

Aarhus University is advertising a postdoc in translational neuro-oncology and cancer neuroscience at the Institute for Clinical Medicine, Human Cortex Lab, in close collaboration with Aarhus University Hospital and other national/international partners.

The project focuses on multi-omics and functional studies of live and preserved human glioblastoma tissue, with an emphasis on cancer-neuron interactions, therapeutic vulnerabilities, and clinically relevant tumor biology. The lab uses neuronavigated tissue sampling, organotypic tissue slices, organoids, cell cultures, liquid biopsies, and advanced molecular/structural/functional assays. Analyses may include scRNA-seq, WGS/WES, methylation profiling, proteomics, spatial molecular profiling, ctDNA, extracellular vesicles, and related bioinformatics workflows.

This is a 2-year full-time postdoc starting 2026-08-01 (or as soon as possible thereafter), with a possible extension. The postdoc will work on patient-derived model systems and material from patients enrolled in interventional clinical trials. The role may also involve teaching, supervision, lab coordination, database/data management, and regulatory/administrative tasks related to clinical trials.

Eligibility highlights: PhD-level qualifications are required. Preferred experience includes neuro-oncology/oncology, glioma biology, cancer neuroscience, bioinformatics, liquid biopsies, DNA/RNA purification, preclinical glioblastoma models, drug screening, publication record, collaborative experience, and funding application experience. Fluent English is expected.

Funding and terms: The position is salaried under Danish academic agreements. The advertised annual base salary is DKK 493,394.35 to DKK 585,322.48 plus pension, with possible supplements and a special tax scheme for international recruits.

Application deadline: 2026-06-03 at 23:59 CEST. Apply through Aarhus University’s recruitment system and include the required documents listed in the advertisement.
