PhD training
During a four-year period, PhD candidates work on a research project that culminates in a doctoral thesis and articles published in scientific journals. PhD students within the Molecular Microbiology Group participate in PhD programs of the Utrecht Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS): Environmental Biology (more info here), Biomembranes (more info here) and Infection and Immunity (more info here). Research projects with vacancies will be advertised via regular channels like the University Utrecht website and Academic Transfer.
