About this position
Aarhus University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in immunology and fibrosis at the Department of Biomedicine, Faculty of Health. The two-year project investigates how immune cells and fibroblasts interact during the development and progression of skin fibrosis, with particular emphasis on systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and keloid scarring.
The research is based on the hypothesis that immune checkpoint receptor pathways regulate interactions between T helper cells and fibroblasts. The project aims to identify mechanisms driving fibrosis and explore potential therapeutic strategies through a translational combination of patient-derived samples, advanced cellular and molecular techniques, in vitro co-culture systems, 3D ex vivo skin models and experimental animal models.
The postdoctoral researcher will undertake independent, publication-oriented research and integrate molecular and cellular data. Key activities include analyzing single-cell and spatial transcriptomics and other multi-omics datasets; performing multicolor flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and gene-expression profiling; establishing primary cell cultures and T-cell–fibroblast co-culture assays; developing 3D ex vivo skin models from patient biopsies; and contributing to mouse studies of skin fibrosis, including bleomycin-induced fibrosis and keloid models.
The successful candidate will join an active, collaborative research team led by Associate Professor Stinne Ravn Greisen. The project already includes a PhD student and two Master's students, providing opportunities for scientific collaboration, student supervision and participation in a growing research environment focused on inflammation and fibrosis.
The Department of Biomedicine is an international research and education environment with approximately 500 employees, modern laboratory, core and animal facilities, and English as the preferred language in laboratories, meetings and seminars.

What's required
Applicants must have academic qualifications at PhD level in immunology, autoimmunity, molecular medicine, molecular biology, biomedical sciences or a related field. Preferred experience includes analysis of high-dimensional datasets such as single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics or other multi-omics; experimental immunology, T-cell biology, immune regulation or inflammatory signaling; primary human cell culture, immune cell isolation and functional co-culture assays; multicolor flow cytometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, and gene and protein expression analyses; 3D cell cultures, organoids or ex vivo tissue models; and mouse models of inflammation or fibrosis. Candidates should have strong interpersonal skills, be inclusive and team-oriented, and be fluent in written and spoken English.
