5 Postdoctoral Fellowships available in the field of Life Science


The Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) wishes to attract talented Postdoc students to the Luminy campus. To do so, CENTURI will fund up to 5 Postdoc positions to start in December 2021. Postdocs will work in an interdisciplinary life science environment, and have backgrounds in any of the following fields: cell or developmental biology, immunology, neurobiology, biophysics, theoretical physics, computer science, bioinformatics, applied mathematics, engineering.

Candidates can either apply to one of the advertised CENTURI projects or submit their own project, providing that they meet the application criteria and that their application is supported by at least 2 host labs. Postdocs will be co-supervised by two or three supervisors from our community. Candidates can apply to a maximum of three projects. Do not hesitate to contact the projects' supervisors for more information.

Applications must be submitted via the project's application form and must be written in English. 

Deadline: 16 April 2021

Duration: 2 years

On-site or video interviews: 17 June and 18 June

Expected Profile – Selection Criteria 

Candidates will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Academic achievements

  • Past research experience (internships, master thesis)

  • Interest to work in a multidisciplinary research environment

  • Enthusiasm and communication skills

To apply please fill the form associated to each project. Applications must include the following documents, in English (compiled into a single PDF file):

  • CV

  • cover letter

2 letters of recommendation must also be sent by your references. Please note that an automatic email will be sent to them so that they can upload their recommendation letter. We invite you to contact them to make sure that they have received the notification email.
