**Background**
Tick-borne diseases are a serious public health issue and will likely become even more relevant with tick species moving into new habitats as a consequence of climate change and new pathogens being introduced and getting established. Tick-borne pathogen surveillance is thus an important component of preparedness for new and emerging threats. While traditionally many tick surveillance activities were focusing on more rural areas, there is growing attention to the risk in urban settings such as public parks and city-associated recreational areas.
**Objectives**
**Training and research environment.**
**KEY SKILLS, EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS**:

- PhD in Virology, Microbiology, Epidemiology or other related fields
- A track record of laboratory and research experience in the field of tick-borne pathogens is mandatory
- Experience in setting up and optimizing detection PCRs
- Expertise in Sanger/next-generation sequencing and in the analysis of epidemiological data
- Knowledge in data analysis and statistics using R, Python or Stata is considered an asset
- Experience with mosquito-borne infections is a plus
- Willingness to travel within Luxembourg to collect ticks
- Fluency in English is mandatory; knowledge of French is considered an asset
- Keen interest in applied and public health research
- Strong analysis and problem-solving capacities
- Determination to overcome hurdles and successfully conclude research studies (perseverance)
- Good organizational skills, excellent time management, rigour, autonomy, open to constructive criticism
- Sense of priority and ability to work with people with different background and culture
- Strong writing and presentation skills

**IN SHORT**
- ** Contract type**: 2-year fixed-term contract
- ** Work hours**: Full-Time
- ** Location**: Esch-sur-Alzette
