The Department of Clinical Medicine at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University invites applications for a position as Postdocoral researcher in the field of spectral (photon-counting) micro-CT imaging of breast cancer as per 1st of May 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a fixed-term full-time position for 1 year.
As a Postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Clinical Medicine, you will be part of what is probably the largest health science research department in Denmark. Our clinical research covers all the medical specialities and takes place in close collaboration with the university hospital and the regional hospitals in the Central Denmark Region. We have approx. 30,000 square metres of modern research facilities for experimental surgery and medicine, animal facilities and also advanced scanners at our disposal. The department has overall responsibility for the Master's degree programs in medicine and in molecular medicine. At the department we are approx. 670 academic employees, 500 PhD students and 160 technical/administrative employees who are cooperating across disciplines. As a Postdoctoral researcher, you will be working at Aarhus University Hospital or another hospital in the Central Denmark Region.
This is an interdisciplinary project in spectral (photon-counting) micro-CT imaging of breast cancer combining cutting-edge imaging technology with clinical pathology to develop quantitative 3D imaging biomarkers that bridge high-resolution micro-CT and histology. Our team includes a medical PhD student with pathology expertise who performs surgical specimen collection, tissue slicing, micro-CT scans, histological processing, and initial registration. The postdoc will lead the image processing and computational analysis efforts, developing robust methods to register, segment, and analyse spectral micro-CT data, and — where relevant — advance reconstruction and material decomposition techniques. This position is research-intensive and offers excellent opportunities for high-impact publications and international collaboration.
As Postdoc in the Department of Clinical Medicine, your position is primarily research-based but may also involve teaching assignments. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. In your daily work, you will work closely with colleagues on your project, especially the PhD student and the supervisors, where you will receive supervision and guidance. Your main tasks will consist of:

If you have any questions about the position, please contact Head of Innovation at Aarhus University Hospital (AUH), ass.prof. in medical physics, Jasper Nijkamp, or consultant pathologist, ass.prof. Trine Tramm, Dept. of Pathology, AUH. Your place of work will be the Department of Pathology, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul Jensens Boulevard 99, C112, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark. Your daily workplace will, however, mainly be at the Danish Center of Particle Therapy (DCPT), Aarhus University Hospital, where the Spectral MicroCT scanner is located. We expect to conduct interviews by the end of March.
Your application must include the following:
