There are opportunities to work on a wide range of different projects as part of a multidisciplinary group in the Ciulli lab. Vacancies become available periodically, and these posts will be advertised\u00a0on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dundee.ac.uk\/cetpd\/vacancies\">CeTPD website<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/alessio-ciullipositions\/\">Alessio Group website<\/a>. However, the timescale for filling these vacancies can be short, so if you are planning a career that involves training and working with us, the best way to guarantee a place in the lab is to secure an independent postdoctoral fellowship.
