For recently graduated PhDs interested in doing a postdoc with us, several personal funding options exist:
MSCA postdoctoral fellowship: For those who are moving countries and are within a year after finishing the PhD. Application deadline: 13 September 2023.
WGS Postdoc Talent Programme: Wageningen Graduate School (WGS) offers talented researchers from abroad the opportunity to start a career at Wageningen University & Research by offering a two-year position within one of the research groups. Application deadline: 3 October 2023.
The broad topics to work with would be biomolecular condensates, microfluidics, and biosensing using liquid crystals, but we are always open to new, exciting ideas that fit the overall interest of our lab.
If you are interested, please send me an email with your CV and motivation to apply.
We are always looking for enthusiastic Bachelor and Master students who are keen on getting hands-on experience with research through projects, theses, internships, etc.
Here are links to some BSc/MSc projects that might interest you, but feel free to simply email me and ask for more information on ongoing projects.
