Join us


We are all scientists, at different levels of our paths, with different interests, but sharing a common passion for scientific discovery.

We aim to recruit, at all levels, individuals which:
  1. Are curious about science and biology at large.
  2. Are generous and altruistic towards the other members, especially the youngest ones.
  3. Contribute to the laboratory diversity in terms of gender, ethnicity and social background.
Recruitment calls:
Graduate Students

Graduate students are recruited through the Integrative Biology and Biomedicine program hosted by the IGC. The 2024 call is open now! (Deadline 29/03/2024). Prospective students interested in joining our lab are encouraged to reach out prior to the call deadline. Candidacies from external PhD programs can be considered.

Postdoctoral Fellows

We have funded positions available! Potential candidates are invited to express their initial interest all year round.

Lab Managers and technicians

We are welcoming applications for prospective lab managers and lab technicians. The ideal candidates would have previous experience in microbiology and be willing to learn the common techniques used in the lab.

Undergraduate Students

Students can be recruited at the IGC from eligible Portuguese or foreign universities. We encourage foreign students interested in a master at the IGC to take advantage of the ERASMUS+ program.
