Contact/Open Positions

Our lab welcomes postdocs, students and visitors from around the world. Come see us, or join us!

We are always interested in applications from potential postdocs; if you are interested in any of our projects please feel free to email if you have questions or want to discuss ideas.

We also very much encourage applicants to the MRC Career Returner Fellowship (for scientists returning from a career break) or the Rising Talent Fellowship (for Black heritage scientists) to apply to our lab. The current application rounds have just closed, but do apply next year if you qualify for these schemes.
