Our multidisciplinary lab focuses on cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying movement disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s Disease and atypical parkinsonism disorders) and brain-related conditions like schizophrenia and dementia. We analyse brain tissue from deceased patients using stereology-based approaches and molecular biology, alongside in vivo and in vitro models for proof-of-mechanism studies. With access to a large brain collection, we collaborate closely with clinicians at the Department of Neurology at Bispebjerg Hospital, and participate in the Centre for Translational Research, encouraging interdisciplinary connections across research units at Bispebjerg Hospital.You can find more about us atProject focusThe specific project entails bioimage analyses of whole slide images of brain hemispheres from patients with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). The goal is to map the presence of microglia activation to protein aggregates.Key responsibilitiesYour tasks will include the optimisation and implementation of an image analysis pipeline for whole slide images and modelling of disease trajectories.We are looking for a person with the following qualifications,

• Required:

• PhD or equivalent in biomedical engineering.
• Experience in modelling of disease or developmental trajectories based on spatial image analysis
• Experience in data analysis e.g. by python and R by use of R
• Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams
• Excellent English skills written and spoken
• Preferred:

• Strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals

Candidates who are adaptable, collaborative, and eager to contribute to multidisciplinary research are especially encouraged to apply.Expectations and benefits

• Establish a pipeline for image analysis of whole slide images.
• Actively participate in lab-wide research activities and contribute to collaborative projects
• Publish research findings in high-quality, peer reviewed journals
• Present research findings at scientific conferences and engage in outreach activities to broaden the impact of our work
• Lead efforts in applying for project funding to support ongoing and future research
• Mentor and support graduate and PhD students, encouraging a collaborative and productive research environment.

We offer a dynamic and collaborative work environment with a strong translational focus, providing you with the opportunity to shape and advance your own research. By joining our team, you’ll play a vital role in driving impactful translational studies with the potential to make meaningful clinical advances in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.Salary and terms of employment under the current agreement.Application deadline: Friday 23rd May 2025 at 12.00.Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.Applications should be addressed to Senior Researcher Sanne Simone Kaalund and sent through RegionH application portal.For further information please contact Senior Researcher Sanne Simone Kaalund, tlf. 38636298/22897024 or Email: sanne.simone.kaalund@regionh.dk
