Über diese Stelle

Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d) – Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology

Ref.-Nr. 601-2026

Third-party funding

The Faculty of Medicine is an integral part of the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg and cooperates with the Magdeburg University Hospital A.ö.R. in research, teaching and patient care.

### Your Responsibilities:

We are seeking two highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join our team investigating the molecular and cellular organization of the nervous system using cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics approaches. The successful candidates will work at the interface of neuroscience, genomics, and computational biology to map gene expression patterns across brain tissue with spatial resolution, contributing to our understanding of neural circuit organization, development, and disease.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative, well-resourced research environment with access to state-of-the-art spatial profiling platforms (e.g., MERFISH, 10x Visium), advanced microscopy, and high-performance computing infrastructure.

Two positions are available with complementary focus:

Position 1 — Experimental/Wet-lab focus: Designing and executing spatial transcriptomics experiments on neural tissue, including tissue preparation, probe design, imaging, and data generation

Position 2 — Computational/Analytical focus: Developing and applying computational pipelines for spatial transcriptomic data analysis, including cell-type mapping, spatial statistics, and integration with single-cell/single-nucleus datasets

(Candidates with strong interest and skills spanning both areas are also encouraged to apply and may be considered for either position.)*

Key Responsibilities:

Design, plan, and conduct spatial transcriptomics experiments on neural tissue samples
Analyze and interpret complex spatial and single-cell genomic datasets
Collaborate with neuroscientists, computational biologists, and clinicians within and outside the group
Present findings at lab meetings, seminars, and international conferences
Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication
Contribute to grant writing and mentoring of graduate/undergraduate students
Maintain rigorous documentation and adhere to good research and data management practices

Essential Qualifications:

A PhD (completed or close to completion) in Neuroscience, Molecular/Cell Biology, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field
Demonstrated research productivity (peer-reviewed publications and/or preprints)
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English

For the experimental-focus position, in addition:

Hands-on experience with molecular biology techniques (e.g., histology, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, RNA-seq library prep)
Experience with spatial transcriptomics platforms (e.g., Visium, MERFISH, Xenium, seqFISH) is highly desirable
Experience with rodent or human brain tissue handling is a plus

For the computational-focus position, in addition:

Strong programming skills (Python and/or R)
Experience analyzing single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-seq or spatial transcriptomics data
Familiarity with relevant packages/tools (e.g., Scanpy, Seurat, Squidpy, STUtility) and statistical/machine learning methods
Experience with high-performance/cluster computing is a plus

Access to cutting-edge spatial transcriptomics and imaging technology
A collaborative, interdisciplinary, and supportive research environment
Funding and support to attend international conferences
Opportunities for career development, mentoring, and grant-writing training
Work and family in harmony: Through [Klinikzwerge](https://kita.med.ovgu.de/), childcare may be available, subject to availability
Help protect the environment and enjoy discounted public transportation through a job ticket
In addition, we offer a diverse range of sports and relaxation activities as part of our workplace health promotion program
Onboarding: At the start of your employment, you will participate in our orientation program, where you will receive important information and training sessions
