Still a few days left! If you earned your PhD after 1/1/23 and want to co-apply for the Fellowship, get in touch asap! Topics: simulation of biomolecules, particularly 1) nucleic acids and their interaction with proteins, 2) molecular chaperones, especially Hsp70
The call for the postdoc Juan de la Cierva Fellowship is now open: www.aei.gob.es/convocatoria...
If you are interested in simulating biomolecules in our group in Madrid (www.salvatoreassenza.com), get in touch to discuss a potential application with me as a host! Repost appreciated :)
