Qualifications

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent in Biology or a related discipline, complemented by relevant post-doctoral experience. We are particularly interested in outstanding candidates eligible for the assistant professor position. In exceptional cases, highly qualified individuals at other academic ranks may be considered.

Application Process
