Who we are:
Eleven renowned universities from all across Europe along with one of Europe's leading
industrial companies in the diagnostic area form a network of research and training
activities, with additional emphasis on complementary skills and career development plan.

Our objectives:
Chemical Bioanalysis aims for retrieving selective information out of complex biological
systems. Sensors, probes and devices are the future tools of medicinal diagnostics,
environmental monitoring, food analysis and molecular biology.

We will focus on four major research areas:
- small analyte detection,
- monitoring of biomolecular interactions,
- development of diagnostic tools,
- analysis of cellular function

using three different methodological approaches based on
- fluorescence,
- mass spectrometry, and
- electrochemistry.

Our offer:
Full-time employment* with competitive salary for a period of 36 months for PhD students
(early-stage-researcher; ESR) and 18 months for Postdocs (experienced-researcher; ER).
Salary includes full social security, monthly mobility and yearly travel allowance as

The Department of Microbiology at Montana State University Bozeman seeks an early or
mid-career scientist using biochemical, cellular, immunological, and/or molecular biology
approaches to investigate human infectious disease.

Research emphasis is desired on the use of systems biology approaches (genomics,
proteomics, metabolomics, etc. see website:http://cores.montana.edu/ for description of
current major facilities), such as, but not limited to, viral pathogens, anti-microbial
host defense responses, and/or microbiome effects though such emphasis is not a
requirement to apply.

The faculty member will participate in teaching departmental undergraduate and graduate
courses in their area of specialization, possibly teaching medical students, and
mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. The faculty member will also be
responsible for providing service as applicable to the department, college, university,
and scientific community.

This position is supported by a competitive institutional salary, a generous startup
package, and a renovated state-of-the-art research facility currently under construction
and funded by a 15 million dollar NIH grant. An outstanding small animal facility and
BSL-3 laboratories are available. A doctoral degree in microbiology or related discipline
and postdoctoral experience are required to apply. The potential to establish a
competitive, independent research program is required for candidates at the Assistant
level. Evidence of having established an externally funded, competitive, and independent
research program is required for candidates at the Associate level.
