Desired Profile : Candidates should hold a PhD-degree within the area of bacterial growth physiology or bacterial Biochemistry/genetics. Experience from independent research in the field of molecular Microbiology is a requirement and a candidate who has made documented contributions to the fields of regulation by noncoding RNA, bacterial stress responses, bacterial genetics, and/or bacterial transcriptomics will be preferred. Excellent written and spoken English is a requirement for the position. The candidate should document a track record of scientific publications, and have the ability and desire to work autonomously as well as in a team.
Terms of salary and employment : Salary, pension and terms of employment are in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central organization.
