Positions

There are open positions for BSc and MSc students with backgrounds ranging from microbiology to physics. If you are looking for a PhD or post-doctoral position, please contact Liedewij to explore possibilities.
Possible research directions are:

• Studying reproducibility and reversibility of evolutionary trajectories by combining experimental evolution in budding yeast, whole genome sequencing and modelling. 
• Using fluorescence microscopy to unravel biophysical and biochemical changes underlying adaptation of the yeast polarization machinery to a strong genetic perturbation.
• Establishing a minimal in vitro system to study the dynamics and adaptability of a GTPase network.
• Ideas for other projects in the line of the lab's interest are welcomed as well. 

BEP/MEP positions:

• Investigating protein domains as the building blocks of the yeast polarity network
• Establishing a framework of concepts and mechanisms in intracellular organisation
• Exploring how polarity proteins shake hands – with whom, when, how fast, and how long?
• Multivalent interactions in a DNA-colloidal system
• Construction of multivalent proteins via DNA nanostars
