About this position

Ruđer Bošković Institute is advertising a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the Division of Molecular Biology, specifically in the Laboratory for cell biology and signalling, for work on project IP-2025-02-3470 titled “Comprehensive analysis of the host cell response to human adenovirus type 26 infection.”

This is a full-time, temporary postdoctoral appointment for 11 months, with the contract no longer than 30 November 2027. The role is based in Zagreb, Croatia, and is aimed at researchers with a strong background in virus biology, molecular biology, cell biology, and related bioinformatics approaches. The project focus is on understanding how host cells respond to infection with human adenovirus type 26, making this opportunity especially relevant for candidates interested in virology, host-pathogen interactions, and molecular mechanisms of infection.

Eligibility requirements explicitly state that the candidate should hold a PhD or equivalent in life sciences (biology), biomedicine (basic medical sciences), or interdisciplinary science (medicinal biotechnology). Applicants must have experience in virus biology research and active knowledge of English. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in molecular and cell biology techniques, bioinformatics, and with published scientific works.

The application is handled by email and must be sent as a single PDF file (maximum 15 MB). Required documents include a CV, diploma, the email address of at least one referee, and any additional evidence supporting the required selection criteria. Candidates who earned their qualifications outside Croatia must obtain recognition of foreign higher education qualifications before the employment contract is signed. Additional administrative conditions apply regarding previous postdoctoral employment in Croatia and Croatian Science Foundation rules.

The application deadline is 21 August 2026 at 23:55 (Europe/Zagreb). Applicants should email their materials to [email protected] and include “Application for job vacancy Postdoctoral Fellow, Contest Point No. 6” in the subject line. The position is part of an institute-based research environment in molecular biology and signalling, offering a focused postdoctoral research experience in infection biology and host-cell response studies.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.

How to apply

Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
