Profile: We are looking for self-motivated candidates with a strong background in Molecular Biology. Experience in protein biochemistry, membrane proteins, protein transport across membranes and the biology of Bacteroidetes would be advantageous.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Molecular Microbiology or obtain it before June 2020 and must be able to conduct their work independently.

The candidates must be experiencing an “international mobility”, meaning that they shall not have resided or carried out their main activities (job, studies…) in Belgium for more than 24 months during the last 3 years directly before the first stay as a Postdoctoral fellow.

The starting date could be within the first half of 2020.
