Vacancies
We are looking for a postdoc / junior group leader to join the lab in Kiel. If you have an interest in evolutionary genomics or population genomics of plant pathogens and are ready to start building your own research group, feel free to apply. The position should start August 1st 2022. A later starting date is negotiable. More information can be found here: https://t.co/WrgBkI8O6j
If you are interested in joining the lab on your own funding (e.g. an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship or a MSCA fellowship), feel free to reach out. We are happy to discuss possibilities.
We are looking for two HiWi’s for summer semester 2022 at our institute in Kiel and one HiWi to support part of the work that remains at TUM.
If you are interested, please contact us!
Theses and internships
We always looking for Msc and Bsc students interested in doing an internship or MSc thesis. The projects can be a mix of lab and computational work and can in many cases be customized to fit personal interests.
If you are interested or have questions about a specific project, send me a short informal email and we can arrange to discuss the possibilities.
