  2. Sylvia our Sylvia? or is just by chance that I we had a Sylvia around last year... Application deadline cannot be extended at the moment. We might do it if not all spots are taken but the sooner someone applies the better chances will have of being selected. I'd encourage you to send your application in (it takes less than 10 minutes if you prepare your CV and research interests ahead of time). No one knows what is coming next. Marta
