In our lab, we aim to nurture a dynamic and vibrant community by uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences. We are committed to creating a culture where every voice is valued and every member feels a sense of belonging.
Due to current space limitations, our ability to welcome new lab members over the coming year will be very limited. That said, we remain open to conversations with highly motivated candidates whose expertise could strongly complement the lab, particularly in biochemistry, experimental evolution, electron microscopy, and volume EM / ultrastructural methods.
If you are interested in joining the lab, please contact Omaya Dudin and include [Lab Application] in the email subject line. Otherwise, there is a high chance that your message will not be seen.
Scientific Principles: Be guided by microscopic beauty ¦ Be quantitative ¦ Be accountable & responsible for your data ¦ Be committed to Open Science
Team Dynamics: Voice your thoughts ¦ Be human, kind & understanding ¦ Be Proactive and empower each other
MASTERS STUDENTS
Master's students with an interest in microbial lifecycles and imaging will find exciting projects in the DudinLab. Our projects are interdisciplinary, incorporating techniques such as live-cell imaging, expansion microscopy, and biochemical approaches. If interested, please reach out to Omaya Dudin.
POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITIES
As we aim to build a community, we look for postdocs for their expertise and their long-term vision. We invite applications from competitive postdoctoral candidates with a background in cell, developmental, and evolutionary biology at any time. While we may occasionally have internal funding to support postdoctoral positions, candidates are highly encouraged to pursue external funding opportunities through organizations like EMBO, HFSP, MSCA, etc. So ideally, reach out early, 6-8 months before your ideal starting date.
Interested candidates should submit a letter of motivation outlining their overall research interests, previous scientific accomplishments, and reasons for wanting to join our team, along with a CV & the contact information of three references to Omaya Dudin. It is expected that applicants have their own scientific interests and are willing to drive their own project, as well as at least one first-author publication (peer-reviewed journal or Preprint).
PHD CANDIDATES
We are always open to inquiries from prospective PhD students. We hire PhDs for their attitude rather than their expertise. Selections are conducted via the International PhD Program in Life Sciences within the Medicine and Science faculties: https://lifesciencesphd.unige.ch/
When reaching out by email about potential PhD: Add [PhD Application] in the subject, or else the email won’t be delivered.
