Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is « one single PDF »: this is not a formatting detail, it is the first screening step. Because the contract starts with a short initial term, the file must show immediate fit with organoids, infection biology, or microbiology, not just strong academic performance. The right strategy is to keep the package readable, use the exact subject line, have referees ready, and use the informal contact to test the scientific angle before sending. Prepare the final PDF, check the exact subject line, and submit before the deadline.
