(<a href="mailto:nuno.morais@nms.unl.pt">nuno.morais@nms.unl.pt</a>) if you are

By default, candidates are expected to apply to their own

When funded positions are available, they are announced above.
We encourage prospective candidates to contact us <strong>before</strong>

</p>
<!-- ── What we look for ────────────────────────────────── -->
<div class="expectations-box">
<h3>What we look for</h3>
<ul>
<li>Genuine scientific curiosity, intellectual rigour, and ethical uprightness</li>
<li>Motivation to address important biomedical questions using computational approaches</li>
<li>A commitment to rigorous, reproducible, transparent, and high-quality research</li>
<li>A collaborative spirit and willingness to engage critically with ideas</li>
<li>An interest in developing computational approaches when they address genuine unmet needs in biomedical research</li>
<li>A desire to make computational methods intelligible and useful to the broader biomedical research community</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>We seek truth, not glory</strong>: we value reliable knowledge over fashionable results, methodological novelty for its own sake, or personal recognition.<BR>
We are <strong>not</strong> the right fit for candidates whose primary goal is to acquire technical skills as ends in themselves. We are interested in people who see computational methods as tools—whether existing or newly developed—for answering important biological questions and making biomedical research more rigorous, transparent, and accessible.
