Descripción de la oferta de trabajo:

The Department of Biomedicine at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University invites applications for a position as Postdoc in the field of receptor trafficking in polarized cells as per 1 February 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a fixed-term full-time position for 3 years.

The Department of Biomedicine prioritises diversity and a good work environment, as this is a prerequisite for groundbreaking research. In a diverse and international research environment, dedicated employees are looking to generate new knowledge within biomedical research areas such as infection and inflammation, membranes, neuroscience and personalised medicine. The Department of Biomedicine provides research-based teaching of the highest quality and is responsible for a large part of the medical degree programme. Academic staff contribute to the teaching. English is the preferred language in the laboratory, at meetings and at seminars. The department employs approx. 500 people from all over the world, and they make use of the department's modern laboratory-, core- and animal facilities. The Department of Biomedicine focuses on innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration with business and industry, and numerous researchers from the department have established companies to develop new medicinal treatments founded in professional scientific basic research.

About the research project

The project will focus on polarized receptor trafficking in brain endothelial cells with the aim of improving drug delivery to the brain. Particular the bidirectional trafficking of antibodies targeting the Transferrin Receptor will be studied in high subcellular details using advanced in vitro blood brain barrier models. This will include mapping of trafficking in the endo-lysosomal system by applying super resolution imaging techniques, lysosomal degradation by use of radioactive antibody/traces and transcytosis efficiency studied by use of ELISA. These studies will be done using different antibody constructs to understand how avidity and affinity affect trafficking and transcytosis of potential therapeutic antibodies. During the last part of the project, in vivo studies will be performed using mice and/or rat models.

Your job responsibilities

As Postdoc in receptor trafficking in polarized cells your position is primarily research-based but may also involve teaching assignments. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. In your daily work, you will work closely with colleagues on your project, where you will receive supervision and guidance.

Your main tasks will consist of:

  • Independent research of high international quality, including publication.
  • Work in collaborating labs outside Aarhus University.
  • Working with primary BBB and iPSC derived BBB models.
  • Performing advanced imaging at spinning disk confocal, high content microscopes and light sheet microscopes.
  • To some extent also performing animal experiments.
  • Different basic biochemical methods like Western blotting, immunostaining, ELISA etc.
You will report to the professor Morten S. Nielsen.

Your competences

You have academic qualifications at PhD level, in the area of cell biology and neuroscience. The preferred candidate have competences in one or more of following techniques; advance imaging, cell culturing and isolation of primary cells.
