University of Zadar

The University of Zadar is a public university located in Zadar, Croatia, and is recognised as the oldest university in the country. Its origins date back to 1396, when it was founded by the Dominican Order as Universitas Iadertina.
Over the centuries, the institution operated in different forms, including periods of closure and affiliation with other universities. It was re-established in 1956 as part of the University of Zagreb, later becoming affiliated with the University of Split before gaining independence in 2002 and reopening as the modern University of Zadar in 2003.
The university has around 6,000 students and more than 400 academic staff and operates within the Bologna Process framework for European higher education.
It is organised into 27 departments covering subjects including archaeology, linguistics, psychology, sociology, history, economics, philosophy, geography, teacher education, tourism, communication studies and maritime engineering.

	Familiarity with neurodegenerative disease biology, particularly neuroinflammation, microglial activation, and neuroprotection mechanisms.
	Proficiency in cell and molecular biology techniques: ELISA, Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and cell culture (neuronal and nasal epithelial cell lines).
	Experience with in vivo rodent models, including pharmacokinetic sampling and behavioural testing.


Desirable Skills:


	Experience with radiolabelling and associated detection techniques such as liquid scintillation counting, autoradiography).

Administrative and Collaborative Skills:


	Ability to manage a research programme financially and administratively under the guidance of the Principal Investigator.
	Ability to work independently with excellent problem-solving skills, collaborate within a team, and supervise students.
	High attention to detail in experimental design and execution with a willingness to adapt to new procedures and undergo further training as necessary.


Language and Technical Competence:


	Excellent communication, command of written and spoken English.
	Capable of contributing to grant writing and funding applications.
	Proficient in IT skills for efficient data management and communication within the research programme including but not limited to the data management, analysis, and reporting.
