About the team/job
EMBO is a not-for-profit organization that promotes excellence in life sciences in Europe and beyond.

We fund talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulate scientific exchanges through high-quality academic publishing, conferences and lectures, and help build a research environment where scientists can achieve their best work.

EMBO has over 2,000 members and associate members, who are eminent scientists elected by their peers.

They form the backbone of our community and serve as members of the selection committees for our programmes as well as on EMBO Council.
