What types of students are we looking for?
How does it feel create knowledge that will change textbooks for the next generation? If you are curious and strongly motivated to generate new knowledge, and willing to learn how to systematically do so, then you are a qualified applicant. With a background in the disciplines of either molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, physics, or computer science, you will have much to contribute to our team-oriented, multidisciplinary studies. You can also simultaneously develop an expertise in another area while working with us. Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to develop your own ideas and hypotheses and thereby grow into an independent scientist or professional. As such, you will be accorded equal respect and responsibility to any group member.
How can you find out more about the projects?
We are driven by the idea that science, fun and intellectual freedom are inseparable. Do you want to know in detail about our research and projects, you are welcome to come for a coffee discussion and also take a lab tour! You may directly contact any of the PhD students or postdocs in the lab, or e-mail Dr. Belen Solano Hermosilla (Research Manager, belen.solanohermosilla@[PHYS]) or Prof. Nynke Dekker (Group Leader, nynke.dekker@[PHYS]) for a more general overview.
