Description

Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IIMCB), Warsaw, headed by Professor Jacek Jaworski is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher.

The project will be conducted using zebrafish as an animal model.

Benefits

1. Full employment contract initially for 1 year with possible extension to 3-4 years in total.
2. Gross salary about 7600 PLN/month (* Additional bonuses such as the 13th salary after working for the Institute for six months in a given calendar year, or Christmas bonus may supplement this salary)
