Project description

We will employ an interdisciplinary approach to understand the processing and storage of silk proteins in the spiders’ glands. To do so we will use high-resolution microscopy techniques and use state-of-the-art sequencing methods to build a spatially resolved map of gene expression in the silk glands. Hopefully, these insights will help the research group in our quest to design proteins and spinning devices that can produce supreme artificial silk fibers.

Selection criteria

The applicant must have theoretical knowledge of biology and bioinformatics (transcriptomics analysis by bioinformatics tools, as well as be able to write scripts in R. It is meritous if the applicant has previous experience of image analysis and microscopy. The applicant must be fluent in both written and spoken English. A positive attitude and strong drive to pursue research is desirable. Emphasis will be put on personal qualities in the selection process.
