About this position

This postdoctoral position at the George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Târgu Mureș offers an exciting opportunity to conduct advanced research in the field of infections and antibiotic therapy. The research topics include pathogen identification and diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms, antibiotic stewardship, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and emerging and re-emerging infections with a global health perspective. The specific tasks and research focus will be determined in agreement with the mentor, allowing for flexibility and alignment with both the candidate's interests and the university's strategic research directions.

The university provides access to modern infrastructure and supports the position with a monthly scholarship of 3,700 RON, funded through an EU programme. Eligible candidates must hold a doctoral degree in relevant fields, obtained within the last five years, unless they have a certificate of excellence from Marie Skłodowska-Curie-type competitions. Applicants must submit an advanced research plan compatible with UMPhST's strategic directions, meet specific conditions for EU/non-EU citizens regarding diploma recognition, and, if opting for Romanian as the working language, provide a language proficiency certificate (minimum level B2). Candidates must not have previously received public funding for another postdoctoral programme.

The selection process evaluates the eligibility and quality of the application file, the originality and relevance of the research plan, previous scientific activity (including publications, projects, and awards), and the clarity and vision demonstrated during the interview or project presentation. The position is ideal for researchers interested in tackling global challenges related to antimicrobial resistance, improving diagnostic methods, and advancing antibiotic stewardship in clinical and public health settings.

Applicants are encouraged to consult the provided bibliography, which includes key references on antimicrobial resistance, stewardship, and infectious diseases, and to prepare a comprehensive application that demonstrates alignment with the university's research priorities.
