Vesicle Dynamics and Synaptic Plasticity

Jobs

Internship Possibilities

Inquiries from highly talented and motivated master students to work on various aspects of our research are always welcome. We have extensive experience with student supervision, but have a limited number of positions available due to the close supervision we prefer.

Please send an email to ruud.toonen@cncr.vu.nl to discuss the options. In your mail, please indicate which project has your interest accompanied with a motivation letter.
