Assistant professor (tenure track) / Associate professor in Medical Biotechnology at Aarhus University

The Biological and Chemical Engineering Section (BCE) at Department of Engineering (www.eng.au.dk) Aarhus University, invites applications for assistant professor (tenure track) or associate professor positions in Medical Biotechnology.

Working area
The main activity will be research within the area of biotechnology in the context of health-related applications and production of biological molecules. Interactions with departmental Technology programs and the AU interdisciplinary thematic centres(iFOOD, CBIO, WATEC, phyLife) are encouraged.

Focus areas are within biomolecules and cellular technologies. Hence, research activities will include one (or several) of the following topics:

  • Protein biotechnology: biomolecules for advanced intervention/diagnostics/prophylaxis
  • Precision medical research
  • Vaccine technologies
  • Evolutive and screening technologies
  • Biomedical cell technologies: stem cell and cell factories
  • Genome editing within higher cells and organisms: manipulation and modification of cellular pathways
  • Microbiome research in health and disease
  • Carbohydrate Biotechnology (tailoring and optimizing carbohydrates and glycans)

PhD in immunology, Iceland

PhD student in immunology at Biomedical Center, School of Health Sciences, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.

A PhD student position is available to study neonatal immune response. Neonatal immune responses are weak and short lived and they are susceptible to infections. We have shown that adjuvants can accelerate and enhance neonatal immune responses and prolong their persistence. The PhD project will focus on the effects of novel adjuvants on the quality and strength of antibody response, phenotype and function of immune cells, gene expression, longevity of antibody secreting cells and immune memory and protection from infections. The project will involve the use of neonatal mice, isolation of cells from lymphoid organs, immunohistology and cellular analysis by ELISPOT and flow cytometry, antibody measurements by ELISA and analysis of gene expression by RT_PCR or sequencing, as well as other immunological, cellular and biochemical methods.
