As the whole world comes to germs, I mean, TERMS with the coronavirus pandemic, we are doing our best as a lab to keep our team connected, motivated and moving forward in these extremely uncertain times. Rich and Emily are both currently looking to recruit new postdocs for 3 year positions in Sydney, and Emily will soon be recruiting an ERC-funded postdoc for the Glasgow team, once Ruud moves on to pastures new & professorial (sad for #TeamSoBots, awesome for Ruud!). While timelines remain a little uncertain, this also means we have some flexibility regarding start date, so do get in touch with Rich or Emily if interested and we all hope to be back to science as usual (even if it's the new usual) soon. Stay safe! (& WASH YOUR HANDS!)
