VACANCIES

The Kiers group (Evolutionary Biology, VU University) and Merlin Sheldrake (author of Entangled Life), together with the Shimizu group (Systems Biophysics, AMOLF) in Amsterdam, NL are accepting applications for a post-doctoral researcher with exceptional skills in electrophysiology and biophysics. Applicants should be proficient in programming and data analysis, and ideally be familiar with network and complexity theory. Experience with fungi is not required. Selection of applicants starts in March 2022.

​

Cross-discipline collaboration

We offer a unique opportunity for a post-doctoral researcher to contribute to cutting-edge research into the behaviour of fungal networks by working at the intersection of microbiology, evolutionary biology, and biophysics. The successful candidate will work with Toby Kiers, Merlin Sheldrake, Vasilis Kokkoris, Pilar Junier and Tom Shimizu to investigate the role of bioelectrical signaling in the development and behaviour of fungal networks, and will be supported by technical staff to propagate and maintain fungal cultures. The project is further supported by the Hefner Foundation and the non-profit SPUN, aimed at accelerating fungal innovation and conservation.
