Job description:

EMBL Site: The group's location is dependent on the successful
candidate's preferences and the proposed research programme. Options
available include Heidelberg (Germany) and the EMBL Outstations in
Hinxton (UK), Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), and Monterotondo
(Italy).
Australian Site: The group leader's location in
Australia is dependent on the location of the Australian institution
which satisfies Australia's National Health and Medical Research
Council (NHMRC) and EMBL that the standard of the proposed programme of
research is sufficient to compete for funding from Australian research
funding agencies. As such, there are research institutions meeting this
requirement in every Australian state or territory.
|
Applications are invited from suitably qualified scientists wishing to develop their research programme as a group leader at EMBL. In accordance with Australia's associate membership of EMBL, funding from NHMRC is available to support one research group located at one of the five EMBL sites in Europe for a maximum period of five years. The position will then be continued for a further four years at an Australian institution. To be eligible for NHMRC support applicants must be working in a field relevant to human health.
The successful candidate will lead a research group for a period of five years at the selected EMBL site in Europe and will participate in the collegial culture of EMBL. Following the term in Europe, the candidate will continue as a group leader at an Australian institution. The successful applicant will need to select and finalise arrangements with an approved Australian institution prior to the commencement of placement in Europe. The candidate will also participate in a programme of linking activities with the Australian institution while in Europe.
EMBL is an international research organisation offering a highly
collaborative, uniquely international culture. It fosters top quality,

facilities for a variety of advanced experimental approaches.

diverse aspects of experimental molecular biology as well as physics,
biophysics, chemical biology and instrument development.
