Job Summary
We are currently accepting applications for the above mentioned position. This is a unique opportunity for junior researchers with a recent PhD degree in natural sciences or related fields to join one of DIPC’s high-profile research teams.
Job Description & Benefits
Description:
The project is thoroughly interdisciplinary. You will be part of an international team including scientists and engineers from the University of Bremen, Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden), University of Hannover, Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse, Laboratoire Geo-Ocean Brest, Instituto Andaluz de Ciencias de la Tierra (CSIC-Granada) and coordinated by the Donostia International Physics Center (San Sebastian/Donostia).
The candidate will interact with other PROTOS post-docs and Ph.D. and master’s students from the above institutions. The candidate will work synergistically within the project PROTOS to conduct experiments on pattern formation, mineral self-organization, and the role of silica in developing chemical complexity. She or he should aim to explain the emergence of life as we know it or other life-like systems and distinguish the different steps from abiotic biomorphs to any form of primitive life. The candidate should also be interested in the plausible applications of the results of these fundamental science experiments in advanced materials scienc
