Join the Depledge Lab
Our lab works at the intersection of molecular and computational virology and we are always looking for persons with expertise in one and/or the other. We welcome applicants from any race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, caregiver and family commitments, political affiliation, sexual orientation, and eligible age or disability status. Furthermore, we are committed to maintaining a supportive and collaborative lab environment.
We are always in the market for motivated and talented people, even if we do not have an open position currently advertised. We are interested in engaging with you in a conversation about your scientific background and goals for your future career (in academia, industry, or other ventures). We strive to provide excellent training across a wide range of computational and experimental techniques. If interested please send your CV/Resume to Dan.
Current open positions
Bioinformatics/Computational Biology
MSc level or higher. Positions available are commensurate with experience. Please contact Dan for more information.
Master’s students
We are proud to host students enrolled in the MHH Biomedicine, Biomedical Data Science, and Infectious Disease + One Health (IDOH) programs for both short (3-6 week) and long (up to 6 months) projects.
PhD Students
At the MHH, most PhD students are recruited via the DEWIN/ZIB graduate program which offers a 3-year PhD program in which candidates who pass the interview stages are able to select from a set of projects submitted by group leaders from departments around the MHH. Scholarship awards (including DAAD) are available for students who score highly at the interview stage.
The Depledge Lab currently participates in these MHH graduate programs
- DEWIN: The Infection Biology / Dynamics of Host-Pathogen Interactions Graduate Program is a 3-year PhD program focused on Infection Biology.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Inquiries about Postdoctoral positions should be emailed directly to Dan. We are keen to support postdocs through the award of Marie Sklodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and similar fellowships, where possible.
Other Visitors
Our lab is always happy to host foreign exchange students, interns, sabbatical visitors from academia and industry, and post-baccalaureate research specialists in the lab. We are open to other arrangements as well. If you are interested then please contact Dan.
