APPLICATIONS

Join our lab

We welcome outstanding candidates at all career stages who are eager to contribute to our research mission. Our lab values individual responsibility, passion, and creativity.

  • We are happy to support the next generation of scientists. If you are interested in an internship in our lab, please contact can.aztekin@tuebingen.mpg.de, including:

    1. Your CV.

    2. A motivation letter explaining why you wish to do an internship with us.

    We generally accept interns who can commit to at least 4 months. Shorter internships are only considered under exceptional circumstances.

  • We welcome motivated MSc students interested in conducting their thesis work in our group. If you would like to apply, please contact can.aztekin@tuebingen.mpg.de, including:

    1. Your CV.

    2. A motivation letter explaining why you wish to pursue your MSc thesis with us.

  • We encourage direct enquiries from prospective PhD students. To officially join the lab, you must apply through the IMPRS program, which admits students once per year.

    To initiate a conversation, please send:

    1. Your CV.

    2. A motivation letter explaining why you wish to pursue your PhD in our lab.

    3. The names and email addresses of 1–2 referees who have agreed to provide recommendation letters.

    Please reach out to can.aztekin@tuebingen.mpg.de.

  • We are a highly interdisciplinary lab, and we are excited to welcome new team members who bring fresh perspectives and expertise.

    We are happy to provide initial support, but candidates are expected to apply for external fellowships (e.g., EMBO, HFSP) to fund a significant portion of their salary. Laboratory research costs will be supported by the lab.

    Applicants should:

    • Have an excellent track record from their PhD or previous postdoctoral work.

    • Have a first-author publication or preprint, or a manuscript close to submission.

    Interested candidates should contact can.aztekin@tuebingen.mpg.de, including:

    1. Your CV.

    2. A motivation letter explaining why you would like to join our lab and proposing potential project ideas to initiate a conversation. (Project ideas are not binding and are expected to evolve during the application process.)

    3. The names and email addresses of 2–3 referees who have agreed to provide recommendation letters.

Important Note

Please ensure that your application includes all requested documents. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
