Cell polarity — the asymmetric distribution of components and functions within a cell along a directional axis — is a key property necessary for cells to carry out their specialised functions and organise the 3D multicellular body. We are looking for two highly motivated PhD students who will join our research efforts to understand how epithelial cells and tissues become polarised, organised, and function.

Our research focus is on how translational regulation contributes to cellular behavior and developmental decisions, using innovative and cutting edge imaging and labeling technologies. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our team, who enjoys working with model organisms, likes to develop novel imaging techniques and will then apply these methods to address long standing questions in the field of translation regulation in the context of a developing animal.

The Theoretical Biology group at Utrecht University has just opened a tenure track position on computational developmental biology. One aim of the position is to develop a closer collaboration with the neighboring Developmental Biology and Cell Biology groups. A description of the vacancy and instructions on how to apply can be found here.
