Qualifications
To qualify as a postdoctoral fellowship holder, the postdoctoral fellow is required to have completed a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree in cell biology, chemical biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or in another relevant field. This qualification requirement must be fulfilled no later than at the time of the decision about fellowship recipient, but we welcome applications from candidates who are in the process of obtaining their doctoral degree.
Preference should be given to applicants who received their degree no more than three years before the end of the application period. Applicants who received their doctoral degree earlier may be considered in special circumstances. Special circumstances include absence due to illness, parental leave, clinical practice, elected positions in trade unions, or similar circumstances.
The successful candidate is expected to independently further their own studies but also be in close collaboration with other members of the team. Independence and good ability to collaborate are therefore requirements. Good command of written and spoken English is also a requirement.
Experiences in cell imaging, western blotting, knock-out/down, molecular cloning, protein expression and purification, and/or in vitro reconstitution are strong merits, as is a good record of research publication.
Application
The application should include:
- A Curriculum Vitae
- A motivation letter including research interests, qualifications, and motivation for applying (max 2,000 characters with space)
- A publication list including both published papers and preprints with web/DOI
- Names and contact details of at least two references
- A verified copy of doctoral degree certificate or documentation that attests when the doctoral degree is expected to be obtained
- Other documents that the applicant wishes to claim.
