PhD candidates and Post Docs

Interested in joining?! Get in touch! (see contact information). If you are highly motivated to work in interdisciplinary research, curious, and excited about our work, then we are always interested in hearing from you! Please send a note and explain why you are interested in joining the lab, and to check in regarding current funding opportunities. Prospective post docs should have a competitive CV for applying for personal grants (HFSP, Embo, MSCA, Veni, etc.).

We aim to have an interdisciplinary team, welcoming members with (molecular) biology, biochemistry and (bio)physics backgrounds. Most importantly, you have a fascination for trying to understand complex cellular behavior from basic principles, you are enthusiastic about working in an interdisciplinary team, and you are excited to combine cellular experiments with quantitative techniques and data analysis tools.

We currently have two open PhD positions: one combining experiments & theory to gain better understanding of phagocytic dynamics and a second position to develop new technologies to study immune dynamics in native tissue!
