Research professor in Experimental Biophysics (BOFZAP)

The Science, Engineering and Technology Group, Faculty of Science, Department of Physics and Astronomy of KU Leuven, invites scholars to apply for a full‐time research professorship in Experimental Biophysics. This position is funded by the Special Research Fund (BOFZAP), established by the Flemish Government.

The Department hosts a vibrant community of roughly 400 researchers working across the full spectrum of physics from the smallest constituents of matter to the largest structures in the universe. Organized into seven research units, the Department pursues a research strategy built around four major initiatives, including a strong focus on the Physics of Life, which studies the physical principles underlying living systems. The advertised position is intended to strengthen this Departmental Physics of Life research initiative by fostering a competitive and internationally visible research program in the interdisciplinary field of molecular and cellular biophysics.
