Markus Ralser

This postdoctoral position sits within the Eurac Research Institute for Biomedicine in Bolzano’s NOI Techpark, where the team works on precision prevention and the study of genetic, biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence human health. The institute brings together state-of-the-art laboratories, scientific computing resources, and interdisciplinary expertise focused on neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic health. The successful candidate will join the HEALTH3P initiative, a collaboration between Eurac Research and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The project aims to investigate molecular markers of health in the population, with particular attention to cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health, and to develop precision-based approaches for disease prevention. The postdoc will work on large-scale mass spectrometry-based proteomics datasets drawn from the CHRIS population study, using the data to identify molecular signatures linked to health states and health trajectories. The role combines data preprocessing, exploratory analysis, normalization, statistical modeling, and machine learning to build predictive models for health outcomes. The work is highly collaborative and involves close interaction with senior researchers at Eurac Research and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, including experts from the Biochemistry and Systems Biology of Metabolism Group and the Department of Gastroenterology, Infectious Diseases and Rheumatology. The position is embedded in a multidisciplinary and international research environment with access to unique health and omics resources.
