About this position

Ghent University is recruiting a Post-doctoral assistant in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The appointment is a 50% temporary position for 3 years, with one opening, and is based in Ghent, Belgium.

The role is strongly research-oriented: at least 70% of the assignment will focus on academic research, preferably in the domain of neuro-geriatric rehabilitation. The successful candidate will also contribute to teaching at Bachelor’s or Master’s level, supervise Master’s students in exercises, placements and dissertations, and support doctoral students. A further expectation is independent grant writing for research funding, making this a strong fit for an early-career researcher aiming to build an academic profile in rehabilitation science.

The position calls for candidates with a doctoral degree in Health Science, preferably in Rehabilitation Sciences with a focus on neurology and/or geriatrics. The university expects the degree requirement to be met by the start date. Applicants with diplomas earned outside the European Union must provide a NARIC certificate of equivalence. The post further seeks applicants who have already conducted research in neurorehabilitation or movement analysis, have shown promise as a researcher in their doctorate, and are genuinely interested in coaching students across Bachelor’s, Master’s and/or Advanced Master’s programmes. Peer-reviewed scientific publications are welcomed, and experience with grant writing is required; interest in postural and movement analysis is an advantage.

The appointment starts 1 October 2026 at the earliest. Salary is determined according to scale AAP5. Ghent University also highlights a range of staff benefits, including training and education opportunities, paid leave, bicycle commuting reimbursement, and ecocheques.

Applications must be submitted online through the e-recruitment system by 22 September 2026 at 23:59 Brussels time. The application file should include a merged PDF containing the CV and overview of relevant scientific publications, a cover letter, and a transcript of the required degree if available. For non-EU diplomas, proof of equivalence or proof that equivalence has been requested must be included. For more information, candidates may contact Prof. Dirk Cambier at [email protected].
