opportunities
At present we have no funded PhD or postdoctoral positions. However, we welcome applications from postdocs or PhD candidates with existing grants or independent funding (or concrete ideas about obtaining these that we could develop together). Crucial is a demonstrated interest in the topics and methods of our lab.
To find funding for a PhD, the FindAPhD website is a good place to start
