PhD program
In Holland PhD positions come with a salary. This means that the
group has to have funding to hire you as a PhD student. Check our
webpage Positions to
check whether we have open PhD positions available. Note that we
always require a solid background in Theoretical Biology and/or
Bioinformatics and a genuine interest in biology.
The PhD program of your group is part of the Graduate School Life
Sciences and largely consists of doing research. Additionally, you
have to attend courses, conferences, and summer schools to make a
total of 20 EC-points.
PhD students in our group attend the
advanced courses
that we give ourselves, and various other national and international
courses.
Examples of schools and courses attended by our PhD students:
- Summerschool "Complexity" of the Santa Fe Institute
- Advanced immunology courses given by the
Eijkmanschool
- Statistical and programming courses in R and Bioconductor
- "In Vivo Imaging - from Molecule to Organism"
Optical Imaging Centre, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam.
- The EMBO Practical Workshop on Multi-level modelling of
Morphogenesis given at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, UK.
- General courses on statistics, writing papers, and giving presentations.
