Mammalian Nuclear RNA Production and Turnover Systems

A postdoc position is available in the laboratory of Torben Heick Jensen at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Aarhus University, Denmark. We are looking for applicants with interests in the biogenesis and turnover of nuclear RNA and its relationship to gene expression regulation in mammalian cells. Applied methods range from cell biological over biochemical to molecular biology and bioinformatics approaches. Collaboration with structural biologists is possible.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genomics, Bioinformatics or related fields. Applicants should be self-driven, motivated and capable of planning and conducting independent research while being willing to collaborate in an international and interdisciplinary team. Good communication skills in written and spoken English are essential, and applicants should have a strong publication record with clear contributions as first author.

In the Jensen team, projects are carried out independently or in interdisciplinary collaboration with leading structural- and/or mass spectrometry-biologists. The team consists of a dynamic mix of experimental and computational biologists aiming to examine the factors and complexes governing the production and turnover of eukaryotic transcriptomes.

Tax deduction benefits are available for non-Danish individuals. To apply submit a letter of motivation and a CV before April 1^st 2025. The position is available from 1^st of June 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
