Open positions (Updated: 6/2/13)
We are alway looking for good PhD students and postdocs to join the lab to progress our O-GlcNAc signalling and fungal cell wall work. We tend to select only the very best applicants who are planning to become the research leaders of tomorrow. PhD students can apply through the CLS PhD programme. Postdocs will need to apply for their own fellowship to join on a self-proposed research plan that matches the work in the laboratory. See the following documents for examples of funding sources:
