Eligibility Criteria

  • You have a relevant university degree (master’s degree or equivalent) in biomedical/bioinformatics sciences or biological sciences, life sciences or environmental/engineering science or related fields.
  • You have excellent proficiency of the English language.
  • Only applications that are complete, in English and in the right order, have been named as needed (SURNAME.pdf; avoid special characters) and that have been submitted by the deadline (September 3, 2018) will be considered eligible.
  • The positions are open to all nationalities. However, your application has to comply with the European Commission’s Mobility Rules, meaning that at the time of recruitment you must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the starting date of the employment contract. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account (European Commission’s Guide for Applicants, p. 16).
  • You are an Early-Stage Researcher (ESR), i.e. in case you have already gained prior work experience in academia, you shall be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of your research career at the time of recruitment by the host organisation and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. Full-time equivalent research experience is measured from the date when you obtained the degree entitling you to embark on a doctorate, even if a doctorate was never started or envisaged. Part-time research experience will be counted pro-rata (European Commission’s Guide for Applicants, p. 16).
