We are seeking motivated candidates to prepare a joint application for an FPU 2026 predoctoral fellowship, under the supervision of Dr. Jesús Fernández-Abascal at the Andalusian Centre for Developmental Biology (CABD), Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Seville, Spain.

Our research uses Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate how mitochondrial stress in the nervous system generates signals between tissues and influences ageing, protein homeostasis and vulnerability to neurodegeneration.

What We Offer

Support in preparing a competitive fellowship application, together with training in genetics, molecular biology, microscopy and quantitative analysis of ageing.

Appointment is conditional on the fellowship being awarded.
