The applications for 2 DARKTRACK-funded postdoc positions to join my group have now officially closed. I received 62 applications in total, although only 51 are formally complete and can be assessed. Together with other 2 committee members, we will meet in the following days to assess all applications, and we hope to come up with rankings and extend offers, at least informally, by early next week. The number of applications we received is huge for Italian standards, and I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who applied. I’m sure there are a lot of excellent applications in there!
