Join us

We are always happy to hear from interested people, whether or not a position is advertised.

How we work

This research programme is interdisciplinary. Realising it means understanding experiment and theory, wet lab and computation, biology and physics. We do not expect everyone to be expert in everything. We do expect everyone to engage across boundaries, to be curious about approaches beyond their own, and to value what different perspectives bring.

The lab works best when we learn from each other: when a computational model sharpens an experimental question, when an unexpected result reframes a theoretical assumption, and when people at different career stages share knowledge generously and support one another’s growth.

Mentorship

You will own your project and be encouraged to give it energy and focus. Asking for help is normal rather than a weakness and the diverse expertise in the lab offers a range of support and advice. Beyond the lab there is the Crick: core facilities and the people who run them, training, and a community of developmental and stem cell groups who meet weekly.
