---+ Selection for an experimental postdoc in Italian CNR project (physics, soft matter and biophysics).

   * This call is issued by Dr. [[AndreaPuglisi][Andrea Puglisi]] at the [[https://www.isc.cnr.it/groups/granes-granular-and-non-equilibrium-systems/][Granes Research Group]]. The research institute is the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, [[https://www.isc.cnr.it/][Institute for Complex Systems]], based at Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.

   * We are looking for a <b>young researcher</b> holding a Ph. D. in Physics. The candidate should start working in the next Fall (possibly by September/October), 2019. 

   * The winner of the selection will work in a theoretical/experimental project named [[https://www.isc.cnr.it/research/projects/microsort/][Microsort]] aimed at investigating <b>spermatozoa</b> and their interaction with <b>microfluidic channels</b>. Our scientific goal is to find optimal geometries to sort sperms based upon motility or other features.

   * We are looking for an <b>experimentalist</b>. Preference will be given to candidates with previous experience in microscopy, microfabrication and cell motility.

   * The candidate will conduct the experimental part of the project, learning new protocols for preparation and preservation of samples, interfacing with facilities for the production of microfluidic chips, using microscopes to observe the system and perform measurements, analysing data and results. The experimental activity will take place in the laboratory of our collaborator Roberto di Leonardo (Sapienza University) where several similar experiments are already conducted and an active and experienced research group is present.

   * The contract will be 1 year, renewals can be discussed and depend upon the (not yet definite) endtime of the project. The type of contract is the Italian "Assegno di Ricerca". Salary depends upon the candidate experience after Ph. D., a typical value is 22'000 euros per year.
