PhD projects 2024

New, exciting PhD projects for 2024 will be published soon. Stay tuned!

Your research proposal should be longer than the summary provided here (approximately 2-3 pages) and should show some of your own input, including a title, a short background of the topic, a research question, proposed methods and references. Moreover, we encourage you to explain how you plan to include both sides of the experimental-theoretical spectrum in your project. For instance, how could laboratory experiments help support the conclusions of your bioinformatics project? Which bioinformatics tools do you plan to include in your wet laboratory project?
