Postdoctoral position at the University of Copenhagen / Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) in the Hansen Group . The project is titled “Deciphering the Oral–Liver Axis: Integrative Cross-Organ Multi-Omics Analysis” and focuses on translational research linking oral health and liver disease . The successful candidate will work on human genetics , salivary microbiome , metaproteomics , and longitudinal clinical data to identify causal mechanisms and biomarkers along the oral–liver axis. This is a strongly computational postdoc role, with emphasis on multi-omics integration , large-scale biological data analysis, and biological interpretation. The role sits within an interdisciplinary environment spanning clinicians, method experts, and researchers in cardiometabolic health. Eligibility and requirements: applicants should hold a PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genetics, systems biology, or a related field. The postdoc is aimed at early-career researchers with a strong scientific track record, experience in integrative omics analysis, and familiarity with GWAS, Mendelian randomization, colocalization, proteomics, metagenomics, longitudinal analysis, causal inference, and network/pathway analysis. Strong English communication skills and project management abilities are required. Funding and terms: full-time appointment for 2 years . Salary, pension, and employment conditions follow the Danish Ministry of Finance and AC agreement; a supplement may be negotiated depending on qualifications. The fellowship is part of the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program . Application window: deadline is 2026-08-10 . Applicants must apply online in English and submit a cover letter, CV, degree certificates, publication list, and at least two references. If the PhD is not yet completed, a supervisor statement confirming completion before 2026-11-15 is required. Contact: Sarah Grant (Research Coordinator), Sarah Christoffersen (program questions), HR at CBMR, and Torben Hansen are listed in the vacancy information.
