Leiden University's Faculty of Science invites applications for a Post Doctoral Researcher in a groundbreaking ERC-funded project on bacterial circadian clocks. This role involves investigating the molecular mechanisms behind circadian rhythms in Bacillus subtilis. The project, situated in the emerging field of chronomicrobiology, will include high-throughput screening, mutant generation, and collaboration with international partners. Candidates must have a PhD in molecular microbiology and experience with bacterial species, cloning, and protein overexpression. A passion for chronobiology is also desirable.
