PhD and Postdoc Positions in Bioinformatics in Denmark

Aarhus University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in computational genomics within the Department of Agroecology’s Crop Genetics and Biotechnology area in Slagelse, Denmark. The project combines pangenomics, long-read sequencing and large language model (LLM)-based methods to address the complexity of plant genomes. The postdoctoral researcher will develop computational approaches that integrate pangenomic information with LLM methods, supporting advanced analysis of complex crop genomes...

This postdoctoral project focuses on genome-informed microbial biogeochemical modeling to improve understanding of soil carbon cycling under global warming. The successful candidate will work on quantifying microbial traits from metagenomes and using these traits to develop a microbial-explicit version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS . The post is hosted by the Department of Biology, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen , and is embedded in the Center of Excellence VOLT (Center...

The laboratory of Ulf Vang Ørom at Aarhus University is recruiting a 2-year postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics . The project explores how RNA contributes to the regulation of cellular pathways linked to metabolism , with a focus on the interplay between RNA, protein interactions, and epigenetics . The successful candidate will work with several experimental approaches, including high-throughput methods , and will investigate novel connections between RNA ...

The Friesen group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences , Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, is establishing a new research programme within the NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) . The lab focuses on understanding the biology of metabolic disease , asking how cells move from a healthy state to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes , and how those states might be reversed. The successful candidate will join as a research assistant in a newly founded lab a...

This postdoctoral project at the University of Southern Denmark focuses on how inflammatory history reshapes the intestinal epithelium and its surrounding niche, and how these changes influence mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel disease. The work sits at the interface of intestinal tissue regeneration, epithelial biology and mucosal immunology, with a translational emphasis on understanding why some healing responses are effective while others fail. The successful candidate will join the lab ...

The University of Copenhagen is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project on wearable data science, multi-omics integration, and machine learning for precision cardiovascular health . The position is based at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR), located in the Maersk Tower at the Panum Institute. The successful candidate will join the Merino Group and collaborate with SMARTbiomed, an international partnership involving Aarhus University, the University of...

The Friesen group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, within the NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at the University of Copenhagen, is seeking a research assistant with the opportunity to continue into a funded PhD fellowship. The lab investigates how cells transition from a healthy state to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and how these processes might be reversed. Its research uses human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived in vitro d...

This full-time postdoctoral position is based in the Social Systems Microbiology research group at the Section of Microbiology, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen . The project is centered on developing and applying single-cell transcriptomic and genomic approaches to prokaryotes, with a particular emphasis on bacteria and archaea and on protocols for capturing extrachromosomal elements and their transcripts. The postdoc will work on a method-driven, exploratory basic research proje...

This PhD stipend is based at the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Aalborg University , with the workplace in Aalborg and an expected start date from 1 January 2027 or soon thereafter. The project focuses on microbial ecology for optimising anaerobic digestion processes . Working in collaboration with Shell Biogas Low Carbon Solutions , the PhD student will explore enhancement technologies that can improve biogas production and process stabil...
