About this position
This postdoctoral project sits in the Grønbæk Group at the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen, with close links to Rigshospitalet and international collaborators. The research is positioned within translational haematology and focuses on the biology of early myeloid disease, clonal haematopoiesis, obesity, and metabolic influences on the development of myeloid neoplasms.
The advertised project, “Deciphering the Mechanistic Links Between Obesity, Clonal Haematopoiesis and Myeloid Neoplasms,” combines human clinical material, population data, and mechanistic studies to understand how obesity may shape blood stem cell behaviour and contribute to disease progression. A major part of the work involves translational analysis of live frozen patient samples from bone marrow, bone marrow adipose tissue, and blood, drawn from completed and ongoing clinical trials.
The successful postdoc will work in a collaborative environment that bridges clinical and basic cancer biology. The group uses modern laboratory and core-facility infrastructure and works with a broad research team that includes scientists, clinician-scientists, students, and technical staff. The project also involves collaboration with the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of Cambridge, and other external partners, supporting a highly interactive, multi-disciplinary research setting.
Research activities include isolating defined cell populations from patient material, performing quality control for downstream omics, generating molecular data, and coordinating analyses across internal and external laboratories. The project is designed to integrate genomic, transcriptomic, lipidomic, metabolomic, proteomic, and epigenetic readouts, with opportunities to design sub-studies, interpret data, and contribute to publication and grant writing. The role also includes helping establish collaboration frameworks for material transfer and data sharing, presenting findings at meetings, and supporting the training of new lab members and students.
The advertised position is framed as a two-year postdoctoral appointment within a strong translational research environment focused on haematological cancers and obesity-related mechanisms.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Life Sciences, preferably with a focus on haematology. The post requires a strong background in normal and malignant haematopoiesis and molecular haematology techniques, comprehensive laboratory skills in molecular and cellular biology including work with primary human cells and cryopreserved patient material, and experience with genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics data generation and analysis. Experience running projects across research groups, a strong publication and presentation record, excellent written and spoken English, and strong collaboration and interpersonal skills are expected.
How to apply
Submit a motivated one-page application letter, CV, publication list, certified/signed PhD and MSc certificates (or supervisor statement if PhD unfinished), and two signed letters of recommendation/references in PDF format. Apply through the listed job link before the deadline.
