Duties

Research

You develop a research programme at an international level in the field of synthetic biochemistry.

You have a broad knowledge mainly in the field of chemistry and modern biochemistry, and you are an internationally reputed expert in the field of biochemical synthesis of artificial (macro)molecules in vitro and/or in living systems. This expertise situates mainly in the field of enzymology, bio-orthogonal chemistry, engineering of proteins, protein complexes and biochemical pathways.

You build a research group of international level and collaborate with research groups at KU Leuven with interest in synthetic biochemistry, synthetic biology and green chemistry. You set up an international collaboration around your research programme.

You publish at the highest scientific level, acquire resources for research, and supervise PhDs at an international level.

Teaching

You ensure high-quality education, in particular in educational programmes at the bachelor and master level in biochemistry and biotechnology, with a clear commitment for the quality of the programme as a whole. You also contribute to the pedagogic project of the faculty/university through the supervision of master theses and as a promoter of PhD students.

You develop your teachings in accordance with KU Leuven’s vision on activating and researched-based education and make use of the possibilities for the educationalist professionalisation offered by the faculty and the university.

Service

Besides the research and the teaching assignment, you are expected to be willing to provide services to the community, at the level of the department and beyond, in function of the needs, and your personal interests.
