Positions

See here for currently open positions and Bsc/MSc projects in my group. In addition, I encourage direct applications for projects that have an independent financing, such as Ambizione or Marie-Curie fellowships. For an overview of possible independent Postdoc funding, see here: UZH Postdoc funding. For all funding opportunities, please contact me minimally 4–6 months ahead of the submission deadline, to have sufficient time to develop a proposal and to accommodate all administrative procedures required.

If you have a project idea and a financing plan, please contact me, sending me your CV, two addresses of academic references as well as a 1–2 page summary of your project plan.
