We have multiple vacancies for PhD and postdoc projects in the System Biology group, where we are combining tools from physics and biology to study the physical bases of behavior in cells and small organisms. Specific projects include:
(2) Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments to probe intracellular signaling dynamics.
(3) Quantitative characterization of motile behavior in bacteria and nematodes using microfluidics and imaging.
Required qualifications
We seek candidates with a strong background in physics, chemistry or quantitative biology with an interest in biophysics at the level of cells and organisms. PhD candidates must meet the requirements for an MSc degree. Postdoc candidates must meet the requirements for a doctors degree.
Terms of traineeship
The position is intended as a full-time (40 hrs / week, 12 months / year) appointment in the service of Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) for the duration of three (postdoc) or four (PhD) years. After successful completion of the PhD research, a PhD degree will be granted at a Netherlands University. Several courses are offered, specially developed for PhD-students. AMOLF assists any new foreign employee with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs.
