Please see this webpage for further information and our approach to the topic. The successful candidate will work closely with the PI to design and carry out experiments, using <em>C. elegans <\/em>as a model and employing techniques such as genetics, quantitative imaging and mechanical stimulation using optical tweezers or microfluidic devices. Several projects with preliminary data are available, depending on the candidate\u2019s interest and previous experience. If you are self-motivated, hard-working and not afraid of worms, ICFO is a vibrant community, providing opportunities to interact and collaborate with research groups across disciplines, thereby preparing the candidate for an independent academic career.<\/p>\n<p>To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter outlining your previous research, future aspirations, and how they integrate with lab\u2019s interests to michael.krieg@icfo.eu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are recruiting PhD students to perform research in neuronal cell biology.
