• state-of-the-art research facilities
• an English-speaking training program that includes lectures, advanced scientific workshops, transferable skill courses and career development activities
• a mentoring program to guide and promote young scientists

Selected candidates will join a new generation of life scientists that are passionate about biology, that would like to understand the chemistry at the basis of life and that are fascinated, like physicists, by the dynamic behaviour of living matter through time and space.

Interested candidates should hold (or expect to hold prior to the start of their PhD) a M.Sc. (or an equivalent degree) in Biology, Biochemistry, Life Science, (Bio-)Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Computer Science or related fields.
