Not many positions offer this rare combination: exciting research questions, a highly supportive work atmosphere, and an exceptional mentor @KostChristian. If you’re in theoretical biology and want to collaborate closely with experimentalists, this is it!
The position of a senior postdoc (3 +3 years) in the field of theoretical biology is available in my group.
The post provides the opportunity to closely interact with experimentalists and develop own research projects.
Please RT.
