My group is characterized by a very flat hierarchy, encouraging everybody to participate in lively and in-depth discussions about our research topics, science and life in general. We believe that a frequent exchange of ideas opens new perspectives, helps being critical and forms our discursive skills. And it's fun! We also make an effort to implement our ideas; discovering what you can achieve is also fun.

Think of joining?

We are looking for skilled, motivated and open-minded people who can commit themselves to an idea and try to make a change.

If that sounds like you, we'd be happy to get to know you.
