Our Values


We are always keen to hear from talented students and post-docs who would enhance our team. In particular, we value:

Trustworthiness. We take responsibility for our actions and appreciate that the success of others in the lab may depend on us.

Enthusiasm. We are excited about uncovering new biology and are motivated by positive energy within the lab. We value enthusiastic team members who foster a fun working atmosphere. We want to look forward to coming into the lab!

Collegiality. We look out for each other. We respect the time and values of other team members and work together to achieve the lab's goals.

Pride. We are proud to take care of our work to the best of our ability, and take the initiative wherever possible to give others the best opportunity to do the same.

PhD Students


If you are interested in joining the lab as a PhD student, please email Richard (rtt20[at]cam.ac.uk), including:

  • Your CV, including the contact details of two referees;
  • A brief description of your research interests

There are a number of funding sources available to PhD students in Cambridge:

Please note that the Cambridge PhD programmes include rotations in different labs during the first year and require that applications be submitted directly to the programmes. While we welcome applications from prospective PhD students at any time, please bear in mind that most funding applications open a year in advance: for example, if you would like to start your PhD in October, your application would generally have to be submitted by the end of the previous year.

Postdoctoral Researchers


We are always keen to hear from talented researchers interested in joining the lab as a postdoctoral fellow. Please email Richard (rtt20[at]cam.ac.uk), including:

  • A cover letter which includes a brief description of your research interests;
  • Your CV, including the contact details of at least two referees, one of whom should be your PhD supervisor

While funding for postdoctoral fellows may be available, postdocs are generally expected to apply for independent fellowships. Some example funding schemes include:
