A postdoc position is available in the Grønbæk Group at the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen , in collaboration with Rigshospitalet and Professor George Vassiliou at the University of Cambridge . The project, “Deciphering the Mechanistic Links Between Obesity, Clonal Haematopoiesis and Myeloid Neoplasms” , sits in the field of translational haematology and focuses on the biology of early myeloid disease , clonal haematopoiesis , obesity , bone marrow adipose tissue , and myeloid neoplasms . The work combines patient material from clinical trials with multi-omics and mechanistic analyses, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and DNA methylation studies. The successful candidate will process live frozen human bone marrow/BMAT and blood samples, perform molecular and cellular lab work, coordinate analyses with collaborating laboratories, help design sub-studies, and contribute to grant and manuscript writing. The role also includes presenting results at meetings, training new lab members, and working closely with both scientists and clinicians. This is a 2-year fixed-term position starting 1 February 2027 . The post is based at the Bartholin Institute at Rigshospitalet , located at Copenhagen Biocentre/BRIC in Copenhagen, Denmark. Salary starts at 39,900 DKK per month plus pension contributions, with possible supplement depending on qualifications. Applicants should hold a PhD in Life Sciences , preferably with a focus on haematology, and have strong experience in normal and malignant haematopoiesis, molecular haematology techniques, primary human cells, cryopreserved patient material, and multi-omics data analysis. Excellent English, strong publication record, and collaborative skills are expected. Application deadline: 15 November 2026, 23:59 CET. How to apply: Submit a motivation letter, CV, certified/signed PhD and MSc certificates (or supervisor statement if the PhD is not completed), publication list, and preferably two recommendation letters or references through the online application portal.
