We are growing!
Research in the Mutualisms Lab centers on the mechanisms and consequences of species interactions. Graduate students, postdocs and research specialists will leverage experimental and theoretical approaches to independently develop and pursue projects contextualized through our work on insects and/or their symbionts. Through resources available in the group, as well as collaborations with the vibrant research community and excellent core facilities at the Max Planck Institute for Biology, support will be provided throughout your training in Tübingen.

Prospective graduate students:
The lab welcomes applications from prospective graduate students with a background in evolutionary biology, ecology, chemistry, microbiology, genomics, computer science, and related fields. We are affiliated with the International Max Planck Research School “From Molecules to Organisms.”
***The lab is currently accepting graduate students.
Interested? Please contact Dr. Hassan Salem (Hassan.salem@tuebingen.mpg.de).***
Prospective postdoctoral researchers:
Inquiries from enthusiastic, independent prospective postdoctoral researchers are always welcome. In the event open positions are not advertised, applicants are encouraged to contact me directly to explore research questions and opportunities to join the group. The most straightforward way to do so is by developing a proposal to secure external funding. Funding options include the German Research Foundation, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, National Science Foundation, European Commission (Marie Skłodowska-Curie), Life Sciences Research Foundation.
