Hi All
If anyone is keen or knows of a talented woman eligible to apply for a postdoc in engineering biology via the Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future Fellowships, see info below! Feel free to get in touch if my labs could act as host for a project on open source tools for protein production or engineering open source enzymes.
