Postdoc Fellowships European Synthetic Cell Initiative (SynCell-nExUs programme)

SynCell-nExUs, (“SynCellEU programme for recruiting next generation European leaders in Synthetic Cell research”) is a new pan-European postdoctoral excellence programme led by the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science e.V. and managed in collaboration with the European Synthetic Cell Initiative (SynCellEU). The programme will run for five years, during which a total of 40 postdoctoral fellowships will be offered. The appointed fellows will join an interdisciplinary community of researchers dedicated to building synthetic cells from the bottom up. By recreating essential cellular functions, this community aims to better understand how living cells work and to translate this knowledge into cutting-edge, nature-inspired technologies.

In this 1st call, SynCell-nExUs offers 20 fully funded, 3-year postdoctoral fellowships.

Applicants are invited to develop their own research project in one of the following SynCell-nExUs research lines on synthetic cells:
Metabolism and energy;
Division and replication;
Information processing and evolution;
Enabling technologies.
