We are always interested in recruiting enthusiastic and motivated students and post-docs to our group. Specific projects for Ph.D. students or post-docs are normally advertised here and on FindAPhD.

Prospective Ph.D. students and post-docs bringing their own fellowships, or who want to apply for a fellowship, and are interested in joining the lab, should email Dr da Silva ([email protected]) at any time to discuss available opportunities.
