Osteoporosis affects more than 200 million people worldwide and results from an imbalance in bone remodeling. The Bone Reloaded project investigates how biomechanical signals regulate the coupling between bone resorption and bone formation.
Using a novel reversible stress-shielding model in sheep combined with spatial omics, biomechanical modeling, and computational systems biology, we aim to uncover the molecular pathways controlling bone remodeling.
We are currently hiring
A 3-year postdoctoral position starting June 2026 at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Osteology in Vienna, focusing on bone remodeling and spatial biology.
Research includes sheep models, CT/µCT imaging, histology, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial metabolomics.
Work in a highly interdisciplinary and international environment.
A 3-year half-time position (20h/week) starting June 2026, supporting histology workflows and spatial biology experiments.
Tasks include paraffin, plastic and cryo-histology, immunohistology, molecular biology, and spatial omics methods.
Ideal for candidates interested in combining lab techniques with modern multi-omics approaches.
