PostDoc – Mineral self-organization and Origin of Life

The Donostia International Physics Center (San Sebastian/Donostia) is currently accepting applications for a postdoc position in Mineral self-organization and Origin of Life. 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. 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.
