One or more Postdoc positions at the Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain (CNAP)

Are you enthusiastic about human pain research? The Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain (CNAP) at Aalborg University is recruiting one or more postdoctoral researchers, to start 1st of October 2026 or soon thereafter. The positions are available for a period of 1 ½ to 2 years. Who are we? CNAP strives to identify and modulate key features of human pain neuroplasticity and understand its relevance for persistent pain in humans. CNAP is a research Center of Excellence inaugurated in 2015 by the Danish National Research Foundation at Aalborg University, Denmark (www.cnap.hst.aau.dk). CNAP applies a basic research approach where new advanced biomedical provocation and probing platforms are being discovered and applied to study novel aspects of human pain neuroplasticity. The ambition of CNAP is to identify and modulate key features of human pain neuroplasticity through a systematic approach, including provoking, probing and modulation of the dynamic neuroplastic properties of the pain system. We believe that over time, this approach will foster new fundamental discoveries, change the state of the art, and offer novel ways for pain treatment. Our world class lab facilities enable advanced quantitative sensory/pain testing, application of cutting-edge neurophysiological assessments (e.g. EEG, TMS, TMS-EEG, rTMS, HD-tDCS), bio-medical techniques (e.g. linked with epigenetics and general biomarkers), quantitative sensory testing (QST) as well as research based on animal models (e.g. rodents and pigs). CNAP is a dynamic and international research environment: approximately 60% of our staff is international, with a close to 50-50% gender balance. Our working language is English. We are highly interdisciplinary and include experts within biomedical engineering, neuropsychology, pharmacology, biophysics, medicine with industrial specialisation, medicine, and more. You will thus be joining an inspiring, enriching, and productive cross-disciplinary research centre including staff with internationally recognised track records. CNAP participates in numerous international initiatives and maintains an extensive global network, making it an ideal environment to build your own collaborative connections. CNAP is affiliated with the Department of Health Science and Technology at the Faculty of Medicine, which conducts multidisciplinary research and teaching in health science and technology (e.g. medicine and biomedical engineering). The strategic focus of the department is to be a leading force within digital health and to be well-known for medical doctors and engineers collaboratively developing solutions together. The department has more than 250 employees and is responsible for more than 1700 students. Working at CNAP CNAP offers postdoctoral fellowships for exploring neuroplasticity and pain. As a postdoc you will contribute to our frontline research aimed at identifying novel mechanisms underlying the dynamics of pain neuroplasticity, while also advancing understandings of this topic within the academic world and beyond. Specifically, you will be focusing on the topic of Brain Neuro-Adaptability to Pain, in particular brain oscillations in pain conditions and non-invasive brain stimulation. You will be working alongside PhD students and other postdoctoral researchers as part of our Lundbeck Professorship grant, which you can learn more about here: https://www.cnap.hst.aau.dk/lundbeck-professorship As a postdoctoral researcher your tasks are to: Embark on the exciting and fundamental research track intended to provide mechanistic information on human brain changes in pain conditions. Your research will help us understand the mechanisms involved when pain becomes chronic. Work in a team using electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), TMS-EEG, transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), quantitative sensory testing (QST), and psychological profiling to study and modulate the brain activity in clinical and experimental pain conditions Conduct a series of studies including individuals with experimental pain or chronic pain and healthy controls, with the aim of linking changes in pain mechanisms and measures of pain neuro-adaptability with changes in cortical manifestations during an intervention (e.g., non-invasive brain stimulation) for symptom reduction. Large-scale data analysis (e.g. machine-learning) may be involved. Training will be provided in all methodologies but prior experience with some techniques is an advantage, and experience in human pain research is a prerequisite. An opportunity to learn new advanced analysis techniques (e.g., in Matlab, R, or Python) if relevant for the task. Write up research results in the form of journal articles. Participate in and co-arrange national and international research conferences and be exposed to external research environments, for example, as a visiting researcher. Disseminate the results of your research to the public. Participate in the day-to-day life of CNAP (e.g., research meetings, Round Table Meetings, seminars, social activities). Develop a solid background in pain neuroscience that will allow you to foster a curious and critical sense to analyse and interpret scientific information. Further develop competences towards an academic or industrial research career. Contacts Thomas Graven-Nielsen: +4599409832, tgn@hst.aau.dk Louise Klem Skovgaard: +4599408567, lksk@adm.aau.dk

Associate Professor in Endocrine Physiology and Behavior

The successful applicant will combine expertise in genetics, cell biology and the endocrine control of behavior and metabolism in Drosophila. One major aspect of the position will focus on interorgan communication and the mechanisms by which animals sense and adapt to changing nutritional, metabolic, physiological, and environmental conditions. In particular, the position will investigate signaling between adipose tissue, muscle, gut, glia, and the nervous system, with an emphasis on how endocrine and metabolic signals coordinate behavior, metabolism, exercise adaptation, and organismal physiology. The successful applicant will explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing hormone and peptide production, secretion, trafficking, and receptor-mediated signaling between tissues, as well as how these pathways influence neuronal activity, metabolic homeostasis, and adaptive physiological responses. Another major component of the position involves the analysis of Drosophila behaviors and metabolic phenotypes, including sleep, feeding, locomotion, exercise adaptation, energy balance, and metabolic flexibility using high-throughput assays. Behavior and metabolism are tightly linked through hormonal signaling pathways, in which factors released from peripheral tissues act on target cells in distant organs through cognate receptor systems, ultimately altering neuronal activity, systemic physiology, and behavioral output. We are currently conducting several large-scale functional screens investigating circulating factors, exerkines, and their downstream target cells, including neurons and glia, and we aim to expand these efforts into comprehensive multi-endpoint in-vivo screening platforms integrating behavioral, physiological, and metabolic readouts. The successful applicant will participate actively in these projects and contribute to the development of innovative experimental approaches for studying systemic signaling, tissue crosstalk, and adaptive physiology. The primary duty of the successful applicant will be research, along with teaching at the undergraduate and Master’s levels, as well as supervision and mentoring of bachelor’s and Master’s students in the laboratory. Further information Further information on the Department of Biology can be found on its website. Inquiries about the position can be made to Professor and Head of section Kim Rewitz (kim.rewitz@bio.ku.dk). 211-0752/26-2E
