Postdoc in Stem Cell Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

The University of Copenhagen has four campus areas. As distances in Copenhagen are relatively small, it is easy to get from one campus to the other either by bicycle or public transportation. The campus areas are integrated into the city of Copenhagen and students use the facilities available in the city, adding a lively buzz to the streets and cafés of Copenhagen.

Postdoc in Stem Cell Biology: The NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at the University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for a three-year position, starting on February 1, 2026. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team dedicated to understanding airway stem cell biology and developing innovative therapeutic approaches for respiratory disorders.
