About this position

Call for applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Grant (BIPD) within the project INSECTRAK (2023.15568.PEX) and UIDB/00690/2025 CIMO at the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, Portugal.

The fellowship is hosted at SusTEC-IPB under the scientific supervision of Joana Amaral. The research is centered on molecular biology and aims to support experimental work for the INSECTRAK project, with a particular emphasis on the development of molecular methods for the specific identification of insects in processed foods.

Key activities include development of LAMP and lateral flow strip methodologies, real-time PCR for gene expression quantification, data processing and use of bioinformatics tools, support in project development and student supervision, and preparation of scientific articles and dissemination of results.

This opportunity is intended for candidates with a PhD in Molecular Biology, Genomics, or a related area. The doctorate must comply with Portuguese recognition rules if obtained abroad, and it must have been awarded within the last 3 years. Applicants must also have relevant training and experience and practical knowledge of DNA analysis, including primer design, LAMP, qPCR, and bioinformatics.

The post is a full-time temporary research grant for 6 months, starting on 7 September 2026, with the possibility of renewal up to a maximum total duration of 30 months. The monthly allowance is €1,901.00, funded by FCT and supplementary institutional research funding, with personal accident insurance and possible voluntary social security coverage.

Applications are open from 24 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. Candidates must apply via the IPB competitive applications portal and submit a CV, academic qualifications certificate, and letter of motivation. Foreign degrees require official recognition in Portugal before contract signing.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in Molecular Biology, Genomics, or a related field. If the doctorate was awarded by a foreign institution, it must meet the legal requirements for recognition in Portugal. The PhD must have been awarded no more than 3 years before the application deadline, and the candidate cannot exceed a cumulative period of 3 years in postdoctoral fellowships including renewals. Candidates must also have experience and training appropriate to the planned activities, plus demonstrated practical knowledge of DNA analysis techniques, specifically primer design and LAMP development, quantitative real-time PCR, and bioinformatics. Candidates who do not meet all three requirements will be excluded. Portuguese language proficiency is required at excellent level and English at good level.
