Fixed term full-time position from 1 Jul 2025 - 30 Jun 2026 ID: 17497
The interdisciplinary Nanoscience center (iNANO) at Aarhus University invites applications for a 1-year postdoc position, with the possibility of an extra year extension. This position offers an exciting opportunity to join a research project focused on developing innovative RNA aptamer therapeutics to target skin conditions, with a strong focus on Vitiligo.
Job descriptionYou are expected to contribute to a project focused on developing chemically modified RNAs to target Langerhans cells (LCs) for Vitiligo intervention. This research involves a multifaceted approach, including:
- The generation of aptamer-drug conjugates for precise LCs targeting,
- The in vitro selection of novel RNA aptamers, and
- The assessment of their therapeutic potential in mouse models and human skin samples.
This project is part of an international and interdisciplinary collaboration with scientists working in molecular biology, biomedicine, immunology, and dermatology.
Your profileApplicants should hold a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, nanoscience, nanotechnology, or medicinal chemistry and have experience with RNA and/or nucleic acid nanotechnology. Expertise in (RNA) aptamer selection, bioconjugation strategies, immunology, primary cells, and binding/cell assays with a particular focus on FACS will be a major advantage. Experience with tissue samples, cell cultures, and mouse models will be an advantage.
The ideal candidate should be socially oriented, self-driven, and motivated, with strong communication skills and the ability to work as part of an international team. Proficiency in written and spoken English is a requirement for the position.
What we offer- Access to a well-equipped research infrastructure and collaborative access to state-of-the-art core facilities.
- A scientific environment inviting open and critical thinking within and across interdisciplinary research fields, also fostering collaboration with academia and industrial partners.
- A working environment with teamwork, network activities among young scientists across different faculties at Aarhus University and social activities.
- A workplace characterised by professionalism, equality and a healthy work-life balance.
