At the Cancer Unit, Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Southern Denmark, a 5-year position as A-TAP (37 hours/week) is available from October 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position is affiliated with Associate Professor Tiago Medina in a recently established research group focused on cancer immunology. His group applies a range of multidisciplinary approaches with the aim at investigating the biological and clinical relevance of tertiary lymphoid structures across solid tumors. The position involves the establishment of state-of-the-art methods, including single cell and spatial transcriptomics, as well as methods that are routinelly applied in cancer immunology, such as multiparametric/spectral flow cytometry and imaging. Additionally, the selected candidate will collaborate closely with other laboratory technicians in the cancer department, who collectively are responsible for general laboratory operations and administrative tasks such as ordering supplies and processing electronic invoices.

Key responsibilities:

• Perform and support immunology-based experimental approaches, including multiparametric/spectral flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and other imaging-based techniques.

• Plan, execute, and optimize omics-based experiments, including single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics.

• Contribute to the development, optimization, and implementation of new laboratory methods and experimental workflows.

• Manage routine laboratory operations, including purchasing consumables and equipment, preparing reagents and buffers, maintaining laboratory inventories, and ensuring that laboratory supplies are adequately stocked.

• Perform general laboratory maintenance, including organization, cleaning, and ensuring compliance with laboratory safety and quality standards.

• Provide technical support to research projects and contribute to the smooth day-to-day operation of the laboratory.

About you
We are looking for a candidate with extensive experience in immuno-based approaches, including multiparametric/spectral flow cytometry and immmunofluorescence (or other imaging methods), and omics approaches, including single cell RNA-Seq and spatial transcriptomics.
