For more details, please visit our webpage http://cinv.uv.cl/en/ and contact CINV scientists in your area of interest: http://cinv.uv.cl/en/researchers/
The successful candidate will receive a one-year fellowship starting in April 2018 or later. A second year of funding will be subject to competitive renewal.
