Daniel Globisch

This postdoctoral researcher position at Uppsala University focuses on mass spectrometry-based metabolomics for biomarker discovery in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and related diseases. The successful candidate will join the Globisch laboratory, an international and multidisciplinary research group specializing in quantitative and qualitative metabolomics analysis of human samples. The research aims to advance biomarker discovery for pancreatic cancer and other diseases, with additional emphasis on chemical biology methodologies for targeted investigation of microbiome metabolism. The postdoctoral fellow will investigate large human plasma and serum cohorts from pancreatic cancer patients, performing biological sample preparation, UHPLC-MS/MS analysis, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis. The Globisch laboratory's expertise in chemical biology will be applied to these samples to gain comprehensive metabolomics data. The position is part of the EU-network PANCAID, fostering interdisciplinary scientific interactions within an international consortium. Applicants must hold a PhD degree and have laboratory experience in at least two of the following areas: metabolomics data analysis, mass spectrometric analysis of biological samples, biomarker discovery, and chemical biology. Strong collaborative skills, motivation, independence, and proficiency in English are required. Application materials include a motivation letter, CV, publication list, university transcripts, and contact information for at least two references. All applications must be submitted online via the Uppsala University job portal by January 9, 2026. For more information, visit the Globisch laboratory website or the official job posting. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in mass spectrometry, metabolomics, biomarker discovery, chemical biology, and cancer research within a leading European research institution.

Uppsala University is offering a postdoctoral researcher position in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics for biomarker discovery, specifically focused on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, pancreatic cancer). The position is based in the laboratory of Professor Daniel Globisch at the Department of Chemistry – BMC, a multidisciplinary and international research group integrating chemical biology, bioorganic chemistry, and metabolomics for microbiome analysis and biomarker discovery. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment with access to advanced infrastructure and collaborations with groups in biology, pharmacy, medicine, and SciLifeLab. The research project centers on quantitative and qualitative metabolomics analysis of human plasma and serum samples from pancreatic cancer patients and related diseases, aiming to discover new biomarkers. The project also involves developing chemical biology methodologies for targeted investigation of microbiome metabolism and integrating metabolomics data with other datasets. The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for biological sample preparation, UHPLC-MS/MS analysis, bioinformatics, statistical analysis, and biomarker validation. The analysis will be part of the EU-network PANCAID, fostering interdisciplinary scientific interactions within an international consortium. The position is 100% research-focused and offers a stimulating and favorable working environment. Applicants must hold a PhD degree and have documented laboratory experience in at least two of the following areas: metabolomics data analysis, mass spectrometric analysis of biological samples, biomarker discovery, and chemical biology. Strong collaborative skills, motivation, independence, and good English proficiency are required. IELTS or TOEFL scores are desirable but not mandatory. Required application documents include a motivation letter, CV, publication list, university transcripts, and contact information for at least two references. The employment is a temporary full-time position for 2 years, starting February 1st, 2026 or as otherwise agreed. Applications must be submitted online through Uppsala University's recruitment system by January 9th, 2026.
