The Gulbenkian Institute of Science (IGC) encourages theoretical physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers with an interest in bridging their discipline with biology to apply for the established PONTE fellowship. PONTE fellows will work independently, by developing projects in collaboration with members of one or multiple IGC research groups.

The PONTE program is aimed at junior post-docs and runs for an initial period of two years, with possibility of a third-year extension upon positive evaluation. The fellowship provides funding for computer equipment, moving costs, traveling, inviting speakers, and funds to organize a QBio winter school at the IGC. Start date is flexible. More information
