PhD and Postdoc Positions in Developmental Biology in Denmark

The Yoshihara Laboratory at The Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for interdisciplinary projects in endocrinology, metabolism, stem cell biology, animal physiology, and genomics. The laboratory integrates stem cell-derived artificial human organs, cultured cells, genetically modified model mice, physiological analyses, and genomic approaches. Its research investigates ontogeny and metabolic homeostasis while addressi...

The Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine (SGBM) at the University of Freiburg is an international doctoral school offering a multidisciplinary research and training environment in the life sciences and biomedicine. Doctoral fellows work toward a PhD at the University of Freiburg, and medical doctors can also join an MD/PhD pathway. The programme is embedded in a strong research network that includes outstanding research facilities and major partner institutions and clusters such as th...

The postdoctoral project is based in the Rydén and Mejhert laboratory at Karolinska Institutet, a multidisciplinary group of around 15–20 researchers working across preclinical and clinical settings. The team studies how altered human white adipocyte function contributes to cardiometabolic disease, with research connected to type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerosis. The successful candidate will investigate how distinct human adipose stem and progenitor cell populations control cell fa...

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München is offering a PhD project in Placental Biology at the Biomedical Center Munich (BMC), Institute of Physiological Chemistry, in Planegg, Germany. The research investigates how a conserved chromatin regulatory network safeguards early development, with particular emphasis on the extra-embryonic lineage and its communication with the developing embryo. The project will examine how disruption of this network in the placenta can influence fetal brain development...

PhD Student in Placental Biology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich’s Biomedical Center (BMC) in Munich. The project explores the earliest stages of post-implantation development, focusing on how the developing embryo and placenta begin exchanging signals. The research examines how chromatin regulation helps establish and maintain communication between embryonic and placental tissues. The doctoral researcher will use mouse genetics, stem-cell-based approaches and multi-omics to invest...

This postdoctoral research associate position is based in Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Department of Entomology, at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The project focuses on insect biology in arthropod systems in a contained laboratory environment, with work spanning genetic, proteomic, transcriptomic, imaging, biochemical, and physiological approaches. The successful researcher will investigate factors that shape important insect traits such as digestion, feeding, development, repr...

The international and interdisciplinary PhD programme Genomic and Molecular Medicine – Personalised Approaches to Childhood Health is based at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and is linked to the Dr. von Hauner Children’s Hospital and the Munich Medical Research School . It is designed around research and qualification in child health, with a strong emphasis on understanding normal and pathological development. Students can work across a broad set of research areas including genomics, epi...

Harvard Medical School is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for a cell biology project investigating how developmental principles operate in jellyfish. The research is designed for a developmental biologist interested in how cells choose a fate, how signaling influences those decisions, and how cellular choices build organized tissues. The project will examine which developmental mechanisms are shared between familiar model systems and jellyfish, and which are distinctive to this organism. The fello...

The Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar - Research Associate to join the laboratory of Dr. Yang Chai . The Chai Lab investigates the regulation of developmental patterning , organogenesis , stem cells , and regenerative medicine , with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal craniofacial development . The overarching aim is to generate scientific unde...
