3 days ago


Odense, Odense Kommune, Denmark Hs Mittweida Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral researcher to join our translational cancer research team at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, SDU. The successful candidate will lead one of three translational cancer projects, focusing on uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind cellular senescence and its role in cancer progression and therapy resistance.

Job Description

The position is available for two to three years, depending on the project. You will be based in the group of Assistant Professor Panagiotis Galanos or Associate Professor Rasmus Siersbæk, both affiliated with the translational cancer hub at SDU and OUH. You will work closely with our international network of basic cancer researchers and clinicians to translate your findings into a clinical setting.

About the Projects

Project 1: Cellular Senescence and Cancer

  • You will lead a research project that bridges basic and translational cancer research, aiming to understand how cells escape senescence and identify new therapeutic targets to prevent cancer evolution.
  • Experience with microscopy, CRISPR gene editing, and quantitative analyses is preferred, while expertise in molecular biology, and cellular signalling will be an asset.

Project 2: Gene Regulation in Breast Cancer

  • You will lead a translational research project focused on the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms controlling breast cancer treatment responses and progression.
  • Expertise in functional genomics methods (e.g. RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq) and omics data analysis as well as mouse work is considered advantageous.
Requirements
  • A PhD in Life Science, e.g. Molecular Biology or Biomedicine.
  • Expertise in cancer biology.
  • Strong analytical and organizational skills.
  • Strong communication and collaborative skills.
  • Proficiency in spoken and written English.
What We Offer
  • An attractive salary of approximately $63,000-$80,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience.
  • A competitive benefits package, including health coverage, parental leave, social security, and support with practical, social, and legal aspects.
  • Opportunities for professional development and career advancement in a dynamic and supportive research environment.

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, and welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
