PhD in Molecular Biophysics (@CNB-CSIC)

Funded by Tecnologías 2018 or/and by Synérgicos 2018, we offer a predoctoral contract to carry out a PhD Thesis on New Technologies Applied to Study Biological Nanomachines involved in DNA repair at The National Center of Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC), Madrid. The contract will be associated to Granted Projects P2018/NMT-4443 and Y2018/BIO-4747.

The project will employ and develop combined fluorescence and single-molecule techniques to study DNA-protein interactions involved in DNA repair processes related to cancer. The project will be done at the CNB-CSIC (Madrid) under the supervision of Dr. Fernando Moreno-Herrero .

How to apply

Candidates should send an email to fernando.moreno@cnb.csic.es including a complete CV, and an academic certificate with marks and the average mark of the degree before April 2019.

Candidates must have a Master´s degree either in Physics, Biology, Biophysics or related subjects by September 2019. Physicists with interests in biology or biologists interested in mechanics and biophysical processes and techniques are encouraged.
