Postdoc: Immunology & Fibrosis in Skin Disease

Forskning og uddannelse, Bartholin Bygningen; Denmark; On-site; DKK 493,000 - 585,000; Full time

Job summary

Aarhus University invites applications for a fixed-term, full-time Postdoc position in Immunology and Fibrosis. The appointment is for two years starting 1 February 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter, supervised by Associate Professor Stinne Greisen.

The project focuses on immune cell–fibroblast interactions in skin fibrosis, with emphasis on systemic sclerosis and keloid scarring, using single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, 3D skin models, and mouse models.

Qualifications

• PhD level qualification in immunology, autoimmunity, molecular medicine, molecular biology or biomedical sciences.
• Experience with high-dimensional datasets, especially single-cell RNA sequencing or spatial transcriptomics.
• Expertise in experimental immunology, T-cell biology and inflammatory signaling pathways.
• Advanced cell culture, including primary human cells and co-culture assays.
• Experience with 3D cell cultures, organoids or ex vivo tissue models and animal models.

Responsibilities

• Independently conduct high-quality research and publish results.
• Analyze and integrate multi-omics datasets to study fibrosis-related cellular interactions.
• Perform immunology assays including flow cytometry and imaging-based analyses.
• Establish and optimize primary cell cultures and co-culture systems.
• Develop 3D ex vivo skin models from patient biopsies to study fibrotic mechanisms.
• Contribute to animal studies using mouse models of skin fibrosis.
