<br><br>In the context of a joint endeavour between ProSciens, Computing &amp; Molecular Sciences (Luxembourg) and the group of Prof. Anna Hirsch (Stratingh Institute for Chemistry, University of Groningen, The Netherlands), we are seeking to engage talented and motivated scientists in a research project aimed at the investigation of the energetic metabolism of cancer using a medicinal-chemistry approach. The project combines basic as well as applied research and involves collaborations with other teams in Europe and the USA.<br>
<br>The successful candidates are expected to:<br><br>● Have a relevant background in bioinformatics or a related discipline such as molecular modelling or computational chemistry. Physicists, engineers and mathematicians with sound knowledge and keen interest in biology and molecular sciences are welcome to apply.<br>
<br>● Be very proficient in at least one programming/scripting language as well as in mathematical/statistical analysis. Biologists and chemists fulfilling these requirements are also welcome to apply.<br><br>● Apply for her/his own funding from the Fonds National de la Recherche Luxembourg (FNR). The Aides à la Formation Recherche (AFR) are work contracts with all due statutory rights and with salaries that rank among the most competitive in Europe.
